In the palace struggle novel, the ultimate boss, Xie Bufeng, has been void of emotional attachment since childhood, being seen as a monster. The previous emperor, afflicted with a terminal illness, used him for medical experiments, casting him into battle to perish. Unexpectedly, Xie Bufeng climbed out of the pile of corpses, returning to the capital with three thousand cavalry to establish himself as the emperor.... more>>

As soon as medical student Wen Qingci exclaimed "awesome!" he found himself transmigrated into the role of a physician experimenting on Xie Bufeng's body with the notorious black lotus elixir. His eyebrows are dotted with cinnabar and skin as smooth as jade, and being deeply devoted to medicine without distinguishing between good and evil, he was named the "demonic-faced immortal".

In the end, he was torn apart and fed to vultures.

By the time Wen Qingci arrived, Xie Bufeng had already been captured by the medical department and understood his fate. He was sickly and had a fierce glare, like a wolf cub trapped in a cage, eager to crush Wen Qingci's throat at any moment. Under the watchful eye of the emperor's confidant, Wen Qingci flicked his wrist and shoved a piece of candy into Xie Bufeng's mouth:

"This is a poison that corrodes the intestines. If Your Highness cooperates, an antidote can be obtained once a month."

Under the surveillance of the emperor and with the ending written in the book, Wen Qingci pretended to conduct serious experiments while secretly trying to detoxify him. He risked his life to save Xie Bufeng from the brink of death. Madness ensued until the day of the palace coup, when Wen Qingci took an arrow meant for Xie Bufeng's heart.

The new emperor, speaking slowly between his teeth, forced out the words: "After your death, there will be no antidote, and I will have no choice but to accompany you." Wen Qingci smiled, coughing up a mouthful of blood and shaking his head gently:

"...What I feed to Your Highness is always honey made...by myself..."

A teardrop mixed with blood fell from the corner of Xie Bufeng's eye.

Ten miles of red wedding decorations welcomed Xie Bufeng's thin coffin into the palace gates. Xie Bufeng, full of resentment towards gods and ghosts, knelt in front of the temple, offering his blood as sacrifice to the heavens, praying to see him once again. Like a madman.

Outside the city, Wen Qingci faked his death and slipped away. In the Valley of Divine Physicians, a mysterious figure emerged, tending to flowers, reading books, and listening to music, living leisurely and carefree. Until one day, news of the emperor's old illness recurred, and he was "invited" to the imperial palace.

Before Wen Qingci could figure out how to handle the situation...

The supposed terminally ill new emperor coldly pulled aside the bead curtain, his fingertips as cold as snake scales, slowly unraveling his veil.

Mini Theater:

From birth, Xie Bufeng could hear the evil thoughts in people's hearts. He grew numb amidst aversion, curses, and malicious suspicions. Only Wen Qingci was an exception.

Xie Bufeng didn't believe that Wen Qingci's heart was as clear as a mirror.

Until one day, while the noble and sorrowful palace physician bowed to the emperor and whispered in his heart:

"Shut up, you **."

“Mr. Ho-woo.”... more>>

“Yes?”

“Have you had dinner?”

“I’m about to eat.”

A simple instant meal was something Ho-woo was used to. He lacked the cooking skills to prepare dinner, and as a modern-day office worker, he didn’t have the energy to learn cooking.

“I…” Oh-yul pressed his lips together for a moment as if choosing his words, then spoke again.

“I think I’m going to make too much food.”

“…?”

Not ‘made’ but ‘going to make’ – what an odd choice of words. Ho-woo tilted his head slightly as he looked up at Oh-yul. The esper before him wore a slightly troubled expression.

“So, would you like to have dinner together?” <<less

“Until the day humanity falls.”... more>>

In the year 2020, Earth’s magnetic poles disappeared and humankind was nearly wiped out by cosmic radiation. Within the span of a hundred years, living creatures began to mutate and devour each other while the remaining humans, numbering in the tens of thousands, struggled bitterly in their man-made bases.

In the Abyss, home to the mutated xenogenics, there lived a sentient little mushroom. Because it had been nourished by the blood and flesh of the deceased human An Ze, not only did it take on a similar-looking human form, but a similar name as well: An Zhe.

An Zhe is determined to go to the human base to search for his spore, which had been harvested by humans. Once there, however, he faces the omnipresent risk of discovery and certain death as he tries to keep his non-human nature hidden from the Judges, whose responsibility is to inspect for and eliminate xenogenics like himself. And of all the Judges, Colonel Lu Feng is the most perceptive and merciless—as soon as he determines that someone is a xenogenic, he will execute that person on the spot.

But An Zhe’s mutation goes undetected by Lu Feng’s eyes, and so a tale of humans and xenogenics unfolds…

When Duan Yelin first saw Xu Hang, he wanted to lock him up and hide his beauty in the golden house—in fact, he did so.

If he seized him by force, he is a robber; if he is being patient and indifferent, he will be meat in someone else's chopsticks.

Xu Hang was unwilling, but he wanted to live. There were still many things he had not done, so he finally entered Xiaotong Guan.

It's a long-standing battle.

Xie Shuci Transmigrated into an Unnamed Minor Villain in the Book... more>>

In the novel, on the path of growth of Protagonist Shou, he only managed to step on him before being chopped off by his knife.

Xie Shuci admonished himself, "Let's cherish life and stay away from the protagonist Shou!"

So the next day, he left that troubled place.

*

On the road, Xie Shuci found a badly injured young boy. Carrying a pocket full of miraculous medicines, he casually fed one to the boy.

However, the medicine, although effective, also had side effects.

When the boy woke up, not only did he lose his cultivation, but he also became deaf, mute, and blind.

Xie Shuci, "..."

So, there was another little companion beside him.

------

After transmigrating into the book, Xie Shuci had been living a decent life.

Despite having a little companion, the little companion barely had any presence.

The little companion couldn't speak or see, and Xie Shuci never avoided him while bathing or changing clothes.

Sometimes, he even performed a dance in a blissful manner while being naked in front of him.

This kind of life continued for several months.

Until one day someone told him that the little brat beside him was originally named Xiao Xun.

That's it, the protagonist Shou who chopped him up with a knife—Xiao Xun!

Xie Shuci, "..."

Wah-, what a joke.

That night, while everyone was asleep, Xie Shuci packed his bags and prepared to run away.

What? He has no conscience?

This was the protagonist Shou, who had severe psychological issues and an unpredictable personality! If Xie Shuci made him unhappy, his life would be forfeit! Anyway, whoever wanted to take responsibility could take it!

But just as Xie Shuci sneaked to the door, his body was trapped in place by an invisible force.

He stiffly turned his head and saw the little companion, who usually seemed weak and afraid to sleep alone, sitting by the bed. With a slight curl of his finger, Xie Shuci involuntarily walked step by step toward him.

"Xie Shuci, leaving me alone, where do you think you're going?"

The little companion leaned against the bed railing, his face pale, and his gaze sinister.

Sinister gaze...
Yes, his gaze was sinister.

This bastard, he wasn't blind at all!

Tang Bai was born into a wealthy family. His body was soft and slender, and he loved to act spoiled. His family searched far and wide to find him a handsome and rich prospective fiancé. However, the prospective fiancé liked independent and strong omegas and was very resistant to this business marriage.... more>>

One day, Tang Bai’s brain short circuited, causing him to believe that he lived in a book. He was the cannon fodder shou, and his prospective fiancé was the protagonist gong. The protagonist shou, Xie Ruheng, was a strong, independent omega of the new era who pretended to be an alpha. In the future, he would become a marshal and the light of the omegas.

No wonder the love-filled bento that he worked super hard to make was rejected by his prospective fiancé who didn’t even look at it. Tang Bai’s eyes reddened as he turned around. He saw that Xie Ruheng was eating the horrible tasting training meal. How could the future light of the omegas eat this kind of devil’s cuisine that was fed to the pigs?

Tang Bai shyly said: “This was personally made by me. Us omegas need to pay attention to our diet and take care of our bodies~”

Xie Ruheng: ……?

The first time Xie Ruheng saw Tang Bai, he thought that even when this omega cried, he was still like the omega of his dreams. Although Tang Bai was virtuous, delicate, beautiful, and cute, he already had a prospective fiancé!

Xie Ruheng expressed with grief: “I won’t be the third party.”

Tang Bai was extremely moved, thinking that Xie Ruheng had already become good sisters with him and wouldn’t come to steal his man. There was a saying that Alphas were like clothes and good sisters were like one’s hands and feet. Don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of you!

Xie Ruheng: ……

Very soon, Xie Ruheng heard a rumor. Tang Bai’s prospective fiancé hated Tang Bai, but he couldn’t defy the orders of his family, so he could only create trouble for Tang Bai everywhere.

Xie Ruheng: This is the omega of my dreams that I want to hold in the palm of my hands, and you actually don’t cherish him? tr*sh!

Xie Ruheng: Isn’t it just stealing a man? So sweet.

Tang Bai found out in horror: Why are the protagonist gong and shou fighting because of me?!

The ancient saying goes: Most generals come from Guan Xi, while ministers come from Guan Dong.... more>>

He Yan was born to be a Star General.

She was merely a stepping stone for her family, and was used as her brother’s substitute. She had fought on the battlefields for years, bringing peace to Xi Qiang, stopping the barbarians… When her brother recovered, she gave up her position with great laurels brought to her name. Without further ado, she was married off.

During her married life, she was forsaken by her husband and even suffered from a strange illness, thereby losing her eyesight…

The young and pretty concubine stood in front of her, speaking softly: “The decoction you drank that made you blind was instructed by the elders of your family. As you know, the dead tell no tales. If you lived, you would be your family’s greatest threat!”

A great general of her time, the heroine of the country, died pitifully in the hands of those shameless women, who only knew to fight for a man’s favor… How absurd!

When she opened her eyes again, she had become the drill fields officer’s daughter, who was weak and arrogant, innocent and naive.

They had stolen her glory, taken her life, lead her army and betrayed her feelings! She had crawled back from the depths of hell and would take back everything she had lost, one by one.

Bring the world under her feet and with her beauty and nobility, overwhelm the nine prefectures!

But would she get out easily once she entered the barracks?

Hardly did she begin her adventures when He Yan met her arch-enemy of the previous lifetime, that young hunk whose “enemies would retreat as soon as he attacked”.

EunSeo’s eyes widened in astonishment and fear.

After she had decided to accept her fate as a prostitute, she knew that she wouldn’t be able to reject anyone.

During his long career completing missions, the tool-man Tang Yu'an had drawn the "Support Card," the "Villain Card," and the "Cannon Fodder Card." Nothing could faze him.... more>>

But this time, staring at the three golden characters for "Wife Card," he dragged out the system.

"Explain this."

System: It's simple. The host needs to take care of the protagonists' physical and mental well-being in all aspects, acting as the team's glue, helping them unite to defeat the villain!

Tang Yu'an understood. Just taking care of people, right? Absolutely a piece of cake.

Except for the occasional drop of strange skills like "Pitiful Appearance," "Fragile as Porcelain," and "Holy Light Radiance," everything went smoothly overall.

However, after a while, he noticed the protagonists' personalities changing. They treated him like a fragile glass bead, preventing him from doing anything, even wanting to enshrine him like a statue.

The bloodthirsty assassin held his hand, urging him to rest. The philandering playboy washed his hands and made soup for him. The always rational captain knelt beside him, tears in his eyes: "Why can't you think about yourself for once?"

He didn't understand. He was a tool-man; this was his mission.

So he smiled and straightened his collar: "I'm fine. As long as everyone is okay, I'm relieved."

"Each of you is equally important to me."

They were all protagonists; not one could be lost.

But after he died at the villain's hands according to the plot, the system didn't send him to the next world. Instead, it sent him three years into the future.

The protagonists seemed to have gone mad. Their former gentleness and kindness were gone. Some had slaughtered the organization that harmed him, while others, firmly believing he wasn't dead, traveled to every corner of the world searching for him.

He took out the "Wife Card" and noticed a small line of text that had appeared at the bottom at some point:

-They all want you for themselves- <<less
