Cheng Ying first saw Jiang Hanguang at a bustling banquet.... more>>

The dignified woman stood gracefully beside her lover, like a rose sealed in a glass jar—forever vibrant, yet forever lifeless.

A pity, but it had nothing to do with her.

The second time they met, the woman was on her film set, having cold water splashed in her face by the lead actor, yet she stood neither servile nor overbearing, like a straight, green pine in the wind and snow.

Cheng Ying had intended to watch a good show, but after meeting Jiang Hanguang's eyes, she couldn't help but step in front of her.

A scarred soul trapped in this incomparably beautiful shell.

It made one want to take her for their own, to protect her.

---

I once saw a unique rose in another's garden. It was the most beautiful flower I had ever seen. A pity it already had an owner, and an even greater pity that the owner was a s*upid ox.

Later, I saw that rose discarded by the roadside, its branches and leaves in disarray, its life fading, about to be trampled into the sunless mud by some insignificant person.

So I snatched her up, planted her in my greenhouse, gave her the best temperature, light, and soil, and watched her slowly bloom into a beautiful flower.

And I waited for this rose to shed its cold shell for me, to kiss my fingertips with its delicate, soft petals.

This is my rose.

But it was just a rose, nothing more.

It wasn't until she grew into my heart that I understood.

She is the beating heart within my cold armor, my one and only lover. <<less

Tonight, once again, he yearned for her purification.... more>>

It had been an unhappy life.

Despite possessing the power of purification, Irene was deemed the lowest rank, never having received anyone’s love or acceptance in her short life. Even in her final moments, she died alone and lonely, yet strangely, she found herself back in the past.

And not just any past but right before meeting her husband, Michael, the man she had ruined.

‘This is the first mistake I must correct in this life. That is…not getting involved with Michael.’

*

However, Michael seems peculiar.

"I... I need you. Please purify me."

He asked for purification first.
A paladin, this holy man, comes to me every night.

"Irene. My pair. My wife. Tonight, I want to be cleansed by you. Long and slow."

You were definitely a paladin in a previous life who wouldn't even lay a finger on me, right? <<less

One day, when I came to my senses, I found myself reincarnated in another world.... more>>

After enduring a rough life post-reincarnation, I thought I could finally settle down, quietly tending to a flower garden in the mountains…

…But something feels off. <<less

"A monster from ancient times has appeared in the Norton Empire."... more>>

"A cruel and merciless horror approaches the Bewildering Forest."

"An unspeakable, white anomaly is invading the Savage Desert."

"Miss Bai has pierced through the Abyssal Demon Realm."

"The adorably cute and invincible silver-haired girl is about to arrive at her divine destination."

"Actually," Xu Bai looked up at the sky with a melancholic sigh, "I really don't want to be a white-haired loli…" <<less

At this school, there’s an idol. A beautiful girl who can do anything and is adored by everyone.... more>>

But I’m the only one who knows—there’s someone supporting her from the shadows.

That person is the truly amazing one. And yet, the idol treats him horribly.

She constantly dumps impossible tasks on him and does nothing herself. If something fails, it’s his fault. If it succeeds, she takes all the credit.

If this were one of the stories I love, someone like her would self-destruct eventually. So I waited—but it never happened.

“That’s why I’m going to make you happy.”

“E-Eh? M-Me…? I’m totally useless…”

“Don’t worry, I’ve been watching you. You’re incredible, and I will make you happy.”

“I-Impossible, impossible…”

“I’ll help you out. If you leave it to me, you could even end up in a harem ending.”

“Harem…? I might be dressed like a boy, but I’m actually…”

“Hmm? Did you say something, partner?”

“…Nothing. …Idiot.” <<less

Yan Qing transmigrated into a melodramatic cultivation novel, and arrived during the childhood of the powerful and tragic villain, who was immensely popular among readers. When he grew up, the villain was brilliantly talented and incredibly handsome; when he was small, the villain was pitiful, and almost starved to death one year in midwinter. ... more>>

Danger lurked around every corner in the cultivation world. In order to survive, Yan Qing could only display all kinds of outstanding skills, pretending to be well-behaved when he was in a superior position, and pretending to be pitiful when he was in a subpar position. He lived with the lovely little villain as two souls in one body, from the time when they disdained each other to the time when they lived and died together. He relied on swindling and lying to stay alive.

Afterwards, he found an opportunity to slip loose of his bonds, and the two mutually-irritated men parted ways.

After Yan Qing died and his soul scattered, he thought he would be able to return to the modern world. He didn’t expect that he would reincarnate into a small sect, and become the harsh, malicious cannon fodder who had a tragic ending???

The cannon fodder had a crush on the villain, so he forced a marriage on him.

However, the villain seemed pure as the moonlight on the surface, but was dark and ruthless to his bones. He could love no one other than the main character shou. The cannon fodder died of illness in bed, in so much pain he didn’t want to live, while his husband, the villain, indifferently played the qin in the courtyard.

Yan Qing almost spewed out his mouthful of water. Wonderful, Xie Shiyi. If I’d known earlier that you were such a s*umbag, back when we were in Blackwater Alley, I’d have drunk water from the chamber pot every day with your body.

***

Xie Shiyi had once fallen into the abyss, kneeling and begging, no better than a dog, losing all of his dignity for a chance at life. One other person had seen this pathetic manner of his.

When he was young, he was sensitive and proud, and they often quarreled because of their different views. In his heart, he vowed that he would kill him one day.

But once the other man really vanished, he sat on Southmount Peak for a long time in silence.

He sat there until the plum blossoms had fallen, the snow cleared and the clouds dispersed. Only then did he quietly take up his sword and leave.

From then on, the world no longer knew the boy who lived as humbly as an ant in Blackwater Alley, Xie Shiyi.

There was only the young talent of Desireless Sect, who was cold and untouchable, Xie Ying. <<less

After half a year of back-and-forth, Qiao Man finally divorced Jiang Sui.... more>>

The good news: She walked away with most of the marital assets.

The bad news: The moment they got their divorce certificate, they were both traveled into a melodramatic CEO romance novel. The only way back to the real world? Follow the storyline to the letter.

The even worse news: Qiao Man had become the scheming woman who secretly pined for the male lead, while Jiang Sui was now the noveau riche young man hopelessly in love with the female lead.

According to the storyline, they were supposed to collaborate one moment and fall out the next—

Not only must they relentlessly sabotage the leads’ relationship, they also had to treat each other as stand-ins for the actual leads and madly…

Qiao Man: The male and female leads are as pure as daisies, while all the steamy scenes are given to us? Why is that? How does that make sense?

Jiang Sui: Please respect the author’s creative freedom.

—

At a high society gathering, Jiang Sui threw a wad of cash at Qiao Man in front of everyone.

He coldly said, “If anyone bullies her again, I’ll end them.”

Someone else replied, “Cool line, but… why are you saying it on your knees?”

#You don’t get it. The next scene has her slapping me.#

#I’m acting. She’s not.#

#Basically, it’s about a pair of actual ex-spouses from high society playing dim-witted villainous supporting leads in a juvenile CEO romance novel.# <<less

Outside, I'm revered as an S-Rank Hunter.... more>>

At home, I'm at the bottom of the hierarchy—even the family dog ranks higher than me.

I'm Son Si-woo, a hero to the world but the lowest-ranking member of my own household.

Then, one night, while I was drunk and vulnerable, my body got swapped!

To the guy who did me this favor... I really have no idea how I'm going to repay you.

But since it's come to this, I might as well make the most of it—living life to the fullest and indulging in all my desires. <<less

It all happened so abruptly. After finally grasping my situation, I found myself in an entirely different world. Looking around, I noticed others in the same predicament… Could this possibly be one of those Hero developments?... more>>

Was there a tyrannical Demon Lord needing extermination, or would I be tossed into the maelstrom of war? Whatever it was, I was afraid. I never wanted to be a Hero. I don’t want to harm another…… Ignore the nonsense I was spouting; there was nothing to fret over.

The Demon Lord was slain a thousand years ago, and 800 years had passed since the last war. The nobles didn’t treat us summoned like tr*sh; instead, we were kindly cared for. The Demons have been on good terms with Humans for some time now. Dangers, such as monsters, were being taken care of by the Guild and the Order of Knights. What’s more surprising is the fact that I wasn’t even a hero! Instead, I was unintentionally summoned!

It also turns out that this world was a world in which the three races, the Spirit World’s Magical Races, the Celestial World’s Divine Races, and the Mortal World’s Human Races, are kind neighbors. Here, everyone lives a peaceful and fulfilling life.

In summary, this other world was――at peace.

What’s my plan for the future? For my limited stay here, I will live this world to its fullest; going on a cultural exchange, sightseeing, then, after experiencing the festival that is only held once every ten years, …… I shall safely return home.

However, despite my lust for a peaceful last year before returning, this planet’s heavyweights have begun amassing around me, and…… <<less

[The Infinite Regression Genre] ... more>>

Look in any fantasy novel, and you’ll find that regression is a guaranteed cheat code!

But what about the ability of Infinite Regression?

There’d be no need to worry about bad endings, not when the protagonist can simply reset to reach that eventual happy ending.

“Cheat code, my ass.”

I tried it myself just to find out otherwise.

The myths of regressors’ successes depicted in all those novels are actually fake…

It was all just vile propaganda!

“This run is doomed too.”

This is not a story of success. It’s a tale of the aftermath of failures.

Thus begins the heartfelt biography of a man with 1,183 runs of experience! <<less

However, she gave up on returning because her loved ones cried and clung to her just before the gate that opened once every 100 years.

Three years later, All those who held onto Dana have changed.

“I have no intention of breaking our engagement. But I do plan to marry her as well.” Her fiancé, shamelessly committing adultery,

“It was just a joke, you know? I didn’t think you’d actually not go back.” Her younger brother confessed he held onto her as a prank.

“Did someone tie you up and prevent you from leaving?” Her cousin mocked her irresponsibly.

“The dimensional gate has closed. Dana, you can’t leave now! So, adapt quietly to this world!”

But Dana knows. She knows how to end this possession and return. Briefly saddened by the betrayal of her love, Dana burns with rage, preparing for revenge and escape.

Seven marriages. Five bereavements, one divorce.... more>>

Thanks to the arranged marriages orchestrated by her uncle, the beautiful Cecilia became wealthier with each marriage.

She believed all the wealth and power she acquired were hers.

But it was all a delusion.

She realized this only at the moment of her execution, falsely accused of poisoning her seventh husband.

She was foolish. She trusted her uncle too much.

Not once had she decided her own future.

When Fu Qing was a child, his grandfather had a fortune-teller read his fate who said he was missing a destined romance in his life.... more>>

The reading was eerily accurate—by the time he was thirty-two, Fu Qing was still single.

Then one day, he picked up a pitifully beautiful young man from a coffee shop, and the moment his grandfather saw him, he beamed and said, “A-Qing, your destined love has arrived.”

And so, Fu Qing suddenly had a delicate little lover. His name was Xie Yan—a D-list actor who specialized in playing corpses.

Fu Qing figured, since this was someone he kept and cared for, no one else should be allowed to bully him.

And so, a steadily rising Xie Yan began his climb in the entertainment industry.

From then on, everyone in showbiz knew: the stunning Xie Yan was proud, untouchable, and armed with top-tier resources—not to mention his deep-pocketed backer, Fu Qing, who spoiled him beyond reason and indulged his every whim.

For years, no one dared bring it up—until one reckless journalist finally asked the question to Xie Yan’s face.

Xie Yan gave the reporter an impatient look, then coldly pulled the mic towards him. “Sugar daddy? Backer? That man is my lawfully wedded husband. We’ve been married for years.”

His tone wasn’t much different from usual, but the corners of his beautiful eyes were tinged with a faint blush.

And in his heart, Xie Yan added silently: “My husband, my lover, my sweetheart.” <<less
