A genius schemer, creating an emperor!... more>>

“Only when your brother is happy can you be happy.”

She committed all kinds of evil deeds to make him Emperor. However, Artezia’s devotion was repaid with betrayal. It was the Grand Duke Cedric, a righteous enemy, that gave her a hand of salvation at the threshold of death.

“Devise a plan.”
“…”
“I can’t think of anyone but you who can reverse this situation. Marquess Rosan.”
“…”
“Lend me your strength.”

There is no plan that can reverse the already declining power and save the fallen empire. However, there is a method. To turn back time before everything went wrong.

With tears of blood she sacrificed her body to an ancient magic. This time, she will not fall.

Artezia, who returned to the age of 18 before death, resolved to become a villainess for the Grand Duke Cedric.

“Please give me your hand in marriage. I’ll make you emperor.”

Fu Ji Chen discovers that the woman who has been living with him for months and bossing him around is none other than Yu Qing, the youngest daughter of his business rival, the Yu family.

Without hesitation, he personally orchestrates a dinner to expose her true identity.

Yu Qing never expected Fu Ji Chen to witness the entire catastrophic fallout as her cover is blown.

That night, she packs her belongings and moves out of his apartment.

Fu Ji Chen stares at her for a long time: “Apologize to me, and I’ll forgive you.”

Yu Qing smirks, “Shouldn’t it be you apologizing to me? Look what you did to my little disguise.”

Fu Ji Chen: “...”

He watches her play her manipulative games and personally drives her back to the Yu family home.

Six months later, Fu Ji Chen and Yu Qing get married.

Rumors spread in their social circle that Fu Ji Chen was forced into marriage due to an unexpected pregnancy. Friends come to persuade him, claiming Yu Qing deliberately concealed her identity to trap him with a child—a scheming woman not worth marrying.

Fu Ji Chen replies: “I was the one who apologized. I was the one who actively pursued her. And I’m the one who wanted a child to bind her to me.”

[2]

The first time Yu Qing met Fu Ji Chen was at a club tennis court, where she worked as a temporary coach. He tipped her generously.

Their next encounter was in the workplace—she as a small legal department employee, and he as the CEO.

After working late one night, a sudden downpour left her unable to hail a taxi. Fu Ji Chen offered her a ride. The road leading to her rental apartment was flooded, so they ended up at his place.

She decided to forget everything that happened that night.

Weeks later, they ran into each other at the company. Yu Qing greeted him casually: “President Fu.”

Fu Ji Chen looked at her, “And your name?”

“Yu Qing.”

Fu Ji Chen nodded.

Later, when Yu Qing leaned against him, she asked: “Did you really forget my name back then?”

Fu Ji Chen replied: “No, I didn’t forget. That night, you mumbled your name while half-asleep, and I thought you said ‘Xu Xing.’ I searched the entire company but couldn’t find anyone by that name.”

The female lead is a lawyer, aptly named, a stunningly beautiful woman who loves tennis.

It’s love at first sight, and deeper affection upon their second meeting.

Ye Rongxu has a delicate appearance and was born sickly, making him the darling of the entire family.... more>>

In an accident, he awakened self-consciousness and discovered that he was a beautiful villain in a revenge novel. Although he was beautiful, he had to sit in a wheelchair due to illness and disability. This has caused his personality to become vicious and gloomy. He offended the male protagonist in the early stage and later suffered a terrible retaliation.

The male protagonist Qin Chaoyan, who was originally his fiancé’s younger brother, has a cold and gloomy personality. His father doesn’t care about him and his mother doesn’t love him. During that time, he accidentally touched his wheelchair, and caused him to fall into the water and be hospitalized. As a result, Qin Chaoyan was sent to Ye Rongxu to vent his anger.

During this period in the book, he made things difficult for the male protagonist, humiliated him viciously, and even made him kneel down.

Later on, the other party achieved success and fame. Knowing that Ye Rongxu liked his brother, he forced Ye Rongxu to marry himself instead and tortured him, making the already sick and weak young man so angry that he died.

After learning about the plot, Ye Rongxu’s sickly profile looked to the front of the wheelchair.

Qin Chaoyan’s thin and bony spine was being pressed to his knees by the bodyguard, and his chest was being stepped on in humiliation.

Ye Rongxu coughed softly, his throat was fishy and sweet, and his delicate eyebrows dropped slightly: What are you doing? Why don’t you help me massage my feet?

His wife Yan Qingyue is the president of a company. She is rich and powerful, but she is usually cold and indifferent. At the same time, she has a super hot body and a very beautiful face. She is the unattainable dream of countless outstanding young people in the company.

[Wuwuwu, my husband doesn't want me anymore. My husband doesn't love me at all. I want to cry! ]

Gu Yun was confused. What was that noise just now?

But Yan Qingyue was still very cold on the surface: "Bring the divorce agreement tomorrow."

[My husband said he doesn't love me anymore! Wuwuwu, men are really pigs! I don't want to divorce my husband! I'm going to buy a bottle of pesticide and drink myself to death! Humph!]

Gu Yun: ? ? ?

Did you hear hallucinations because you played too many games?

Then Yan Qingyue straightened up to show her figure better.

[Husband, take a good look at me. You are willing to divorce such a sexy, beautiful and rich girl! ]

[Please, please! Let's go home, honey. If you don't like the flesh-colored stockings on my legs, I can change them for you. Any color is fine! As long as you like it!]

Jiang Lan transmigrated into the role of the male lead's gold-digging first love. According to the original plot, all she needed to do was meet the male lead's mother once, and she could walk away with 20 million yuan.... more>>

Sitting in the restaurant, Jiang Lan said, "Give me 20 million, and I'll leave your son."

But the male lead's mother replied, "Here's 20 million for you—may you always be happy, may you always be joyful."

Jiang Lan: "..."

Through a twist of fate, Jiang Lan and the male lead's mother ended up participating in the reality show "Mother-in-law Has Arrived." Initially, everyone expected the Cinderella and the wealthy mother-in-law to be at odds, but instead, they overshadowed the leads of the hottest drama and became the internet's most beloved couple.

In the sweet and pampering segment, the mother-in-law regularly took her daughter-in-law on shopping sprees. Yu Wanqiu and Jiang Lan attended fashion shows, sitting between a top-tier young idol on the left and a handsome middle-aged man on the right.

In the wealthy family segment, while other daughters-in-law nervously prepared elaborate meals to please their mothers-in-law, Jiang Lan dragged Yu Wanqiu to enjoy fried chicken, beer, street food, hotpot, and skewers.

When the show ended, Yu Wanqiu hooked her arm around Jiang Lan's shoulder and said, "Whether you break up or not doesn't matter. Even if you do, it won't affect our relationship. Actually, breaking up might be better—I'll introduce you to someone even more handsome and richer."

Lu Yicheng: ???

Mini Theater:

When asked about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships, Yu Wanqiu's initial response was very diplomatic: "They shouldn't live together, meeting a few times a year is enough. Don't interfere in the couple's affairs. Let them decide how many children they want. It's important to be well-matched. If things don't work out, they can break up or divorce."

But after the show ended, Yu Wanqiu's answer was a complete reversal: "It's best to live in the same building as Jiang Lan, doing yoga together morning and night. As for children, it's better not to have them too early—it could affect my relationship with Jiang Lan. If they divorce, I fully support it. I know plenty of young idols, and if Jiang Lan prefers the mature type, that's fine too."

The moment she stepped into the bridal chamber, the demonic sect’s young master, who had always behaved erratically, gathered all her sharpness and called out obediently to Her Royal Highness the Princess next to the bed, who was wearing a phoenix crown and beautiful robe: “Sister-in-law.”

However, what she received was the meaningful look from the princess by the bed: “Don’t call me sister-in-law, call me wife.”

Young Master Meng, who did not know the meaning of the kiss that landed on the corner of her mouth during the wedding night, finally gradually understood the thoughts of Her Royal Highness in the days that followed.

Meng Chang’an: “Your Highness, I advise you to give up. This young master has never had a fondness for grinding mirrors², and in this lifetime, I will never like women. You should not waste your efforts on me!”

Li Qiubai slowly raised her hand and gently touched the young master’s chest, with a teasing smile, she asked, “How could these efforts be wasted? Look at you, your heart is beating so fast. Even your legs are getting weak…”

Young Master Meng lost her armor along the way but still wouldn’t give up: “Even if you get my body, you can’t have my heart. It’s impossible for me to be in love with a woman!”

Chu Lai, 25 years old, a corporate s*ave at a major company and a part-time gaming streamer, had been in a stable relationship with his boyfriend of three years—or so he thought.... more>>

One day, on his way home from work, he noticed his boyfriend kissing an unfamiliar man in the background of a video on his friend’s social media.

He immediately went to a small bar to break up with his boyfriend on the spot, only to be turned on and blamed instead.

His ex-boyfriend sneered, “You’re boring and unromantic. That’s why I’m breaking up with you!”

Coincidentally, the couple sitting next to them echoed the same sentiment:

“You don’t love me or care about romance. We’re done!”

Such a coincidence that Chu Lai actually found it amusing and laughed.

After the breakup, Chu Lai headed to a nearby barbecue stand, where he encountered an elite man who had also just been dumped. They shared a table, drank, and had a decent conversation—but there was no spark.

A week later, Chu Lai received a marriage proposal via WeChat from that very same man.

Chu Lai: “?”

Cen Wei, 29 years old, heir to a famous umbrella-making company, had recently been dumped after a three-month relationship. The reason? He was “emotionally cold” and “not romantic.”

Though he expected the breakup, he wasn’t prepared for the news that his grandfather was critically ill and wished for him to marry before he passed away.

On a whim, Cen Wei opened WeChat and messaged the guy he added that day: “Please marry me.”

At 3 a.m. that weekend, he got an instant reply: “Okay.”

Cen Wei: “?”

Chu Lai enjoys a simple life of three meals a day, work, and rest. If he got used to being single, he could probably live well enough. But he has one peculiar habit—he likes strong, comforting hugs.

So, he decided to jump into a new relationship to fill the emotional void.

It turns out, he ended up with a perfect, if unromantic, soulmate.

Ex-boyfriend: “I can’t believe you moved on so fast! And with my boss? Is this your way of getting revenge on me?”

Chu Lai: “Sorry, I didn’t think that much about it.”

Cen Wei: “Are you done talking? Let’s go home for dinner.”

There is a little-known secret in the Ji family of the Imperial Academy: the eldest daughter of the Ji family, unloved by her parents due to an inauspicious birth date, has a twin sister who has been lost and living elsewhere.... more>>

The two sisters, living vastly different lives, have developed contrasting personalities.

The elder sister is weak and easily bullied, simple and unsophisticated; the younger sister is vengeful, ruthless, and kills without blinking.

In the political turmoil of the court, disaster strikes the innocent.

The elder sister is schemed into marrying her father’s archenemy—Huo Xian, the infamous Commandant who recognized a traitor as his father.

Huo Xian is notorious for his ruthless methods and association with eunuchs, despised by many. He is also infatuated with beauty, with a harem filled with countless concubines, each as cunning as the next.

While everyone was mourning for the elder sister’s fate, little did they know that the one sitting in the bridal sedan heading to Huo household was no longer a meek and easily bullied innocent.

–

On the wedding night, facing her notorious husband, Ji Yuluo pretended to be frightened, trembling so much she fainted from fear.

Huo Xian found it boring and didn’t visit the inner courtyard for several days.

One day, by chance, he returned home and saw one of his beloved concubines struggling for help in the water while his timid new bride sat nearby, casually applying nail polish, and said nonchalantly, “What’s the rush? She won’t die.”

The other concubines knelt nearby, trembling as if they had seen a ghost.

Huo Xian watched with interest.

Later, he stared at the sparkling water droplets on the beauty’s neck, his gaze dark and unreadable—

“Tsk. She truly is an ancestor, my ancestor.”

Huo Xian, despised by everyone, walked a path of betrayal and isolation until he met someone who, in the face of extreme danger, handed him a blade to cut through the waves.

– Even if my name is forgotten in history, I will stand by him.

Jun Qingyu pursues a novel with a protagonist that strives on his own, from an ordinary person to a high position as a marshal. He suffered from an accident on the battlefield that only a mermaid can heal, but because the injury caused the protagonist to have a violent temperament, the mermaids refused to treat him.... more>>

The protagonist’s family seized the opportunity to steal his token to start an interstellar war. The close friend of the protagonist kicked him when he was down. For a period of time, the protagonist became a target of public criticism. He was simply a model example of an unfortunate person with good looks and strong capability.

Initially, the protagonist should have risen at this time and started a series of face-slapping in line but the author ran off in the end, leaving the novel incomplete and directly sentenced the protagonist to death.

Jun Qingyu got so hung up over it that he dreamt of the protagonist of this book and after he woke up, he became a mermaid in that novel.

Fu Yuanchuan didn’t know how many times he had stood by the mermaid pond. The little newborn mermaids in the pond were no more than the size of his palm.

The mermaids rejected coming into contact with him very much. He looked at the pod of mermaids, who were originally close to the shore, quickly fleeing without any accident when he approached.

The sound of taunts and jeers fell incessantly in his ear.

‘How can someone like him still dare to buy a mermaid?’

‘If I were him, I would stay at home and wait for death instead of running around and scaring people.’

Fu Yuanchuan looked indifferent but when he was going to leave, he heard an exclamation.

‘What’s going on with that mermaid?’

Fu Yuanchuan looked down and saw a golden-tailed little mermaid struggling against the pod of mermaids to swim towards him. The little mermaid stopped when he was close to the shore. He raised his head and his golden eyes were full of his shadow.

After a moment of silence, he crouched by the side of the mermaid pond and tried to dip his hand into the water……

The little mermaid did not flee.

The little mermaid hugged his hand.

The little mermaid kissed his finger.

The world only knew that Prince Wei, Ji Yang, was capricious, cruel by nature, and bloodthirsty, earning him the title of "Wife Killer." However, they did not know that Prince Wei and Ji Yang were two souls sharing one body.

The true Prince Wei was calm and restrained, a man of hidden depths and calculated ambition. The crazy Ji Yang acted recklessly and was violent and willful.

For Prince Wei, marrying Mei Wushuang was a duty, the fulfillment of a promise, for Ji Yang, she was his medicine, and also his life.

Prince Wei never imagined that one day he would be jealous of his other half, a jealousy that would haunt him across two lifetimes. <<less

Zhu Ming, a neuroscience genius whose career was derailed by an accident that left him unable to walk, had his dreams of scientific research shattered—and put his future marriage on the line.... more>>

Forced to go on a blind date, he comes face-to-face with the cold and handsome Xi Xianqing.

This proud and haughty jewellery designer has a spiritual form as a green peac*ck that cannot naturally spread its tail.

Xi Xianqing said coldly, “I’ll help you with your aunt, you’ll help me with my spiritual form. A marriage agreement benefits us both, and we can divorce after a year.”

Zhu Ming’s past profession made him drawn to challenging cases involving spiritual forms, and he saw Xi Xianqing as a compelling candidate for experimentation.

Zhu Ming smiled. “Let’s see how it goes.”

Later in their marriage, Zhu Ming developed a highly-effective medicine, which Xi Xianqing took for months, but the peac*ck showed no change.

Zhu Ming devised a new form of mental treatment. After several treatments, the peac*ck remained unable to shake even a single feather.

—Until a certain c*cktail party, the completely drunk Zhu Ming smiled as he hooked his arm around Xi Xianqing’s neck and, in front of the crowd, gave him a passionate kiss that echoed.

Once Zhu Ming sobered up, he was hit with a splitting headache. “…Sorry, I’m really bad at holding my liquor.”

Xi Xianqing remained silent for a while before saying, “Next time, please drink more responsibly,” and then walked away.

Zhu Ming was upset with himself for having crossed the line.

He sighed and looked down through the window, happening upon an expressionless Xi Xianqing in the garden.

—As well as the green peac*ck that was frantically spreading its tail behind him.
