In the capital's elite social circles, rumors abound about Wen Yu's ruthlessness. Even the Emperor, upon hearing these tales, has repeatedly nodded in agreement!... more>>

Wen Yu, upon learning of this, responded with a cold smile: From a young age, her mother was mu*dered, her grandmother showed no affection, and her father offered no love. She was the target of envy and constantly schemed against. After much hardship, she finally secured a good husband, only to find her marital home a chaotic mess!

Should she play the innocent fool? If so, would a husband of exceptional talent and beauty, intelligent and considerate children, a devoted mother-in-law, and the title of Duchess simply fall from the sky?! In her past life, the Duchess met a miserable end!

Our protagonist first sets her sights on the male lead, unceremoniously claiming him as her own. After marriage, she employs every tactic imaginable: throwing herself into his arms, playing hard to get, alternating between gentle affection and playful dominance, expressing care while subtly tormenting…

From then on, the exceptionally handsome, ruthless, yet capable Fifth Young Master Qi, whose emotional intelligence borders on naive innocence, is repeatedly berated by the Emperor, who points a finger at him and scolds, "You spineless fool! What kind of life is this?! Divorce her immediately! Don't be afraid, I will support you!"

Fifth Young Master Qi blushes slightly: Actually, this life… isn't so bad…

This story portrays a strong female lead who makes every effort to achieve happiness.

***

Overlooked and undervalued, Wen Yu, the legitimate daughter of the Wen family, endures a life of quiet suffering.

On her fifteenth birthday, tragedy strikes, setting in motion a chain of events that culminates in her agonizing death. Miraculously reborn, Wen Yu returns to the day it all began, armed with the bitter memories of her past life and a steely resolve to change her fate. This time, she won't be a pawn in her family's games.

She will reclaim what is rightfully hers, expose the hypocrisy and cruelty of those who wronged her, and forge a new path for herself.

But as she navigates the treacherous landscape of family politics and builds her own power, she must confront not only her past enemies but also the unexpected attention of powerful figures who see her as a valuable asset in their own games.

Will Wen Yu succumb to her thirst for revenge, or can she find a way to break free from the cycle of pain and create a different future for herself? <<less

Before her death, Qun Qing hated the powerful official Lu Hua Ting the most. She hated him for assisting the new emperor and for being cunning and insidious. She thought about him day and night, and tried her best to defeat him, but she was not his match. In the end, she became a cannon fodder in his hands.... more>>

After Qun Qing died, she saw the princess of the fallen country that she had protected with her life, crying and leaning on the new emperor's chest: "Qing Qing is dead, what should I do?"

The new emperor kissed her: "You will be fine, just love me."

The princess burst into tears, like a delicate flower under the rain: "Qing Qing is dead, Your Majesty is all I have left."

When she opened his eyes, Qun Qing had woke up three years ago. She stood up, woodenly packed her bags, and regardless of the princess's obstruction, took off her jade crown and walked away, dropped her female official's wooden seal, turned around and left, leaving behind ten years of careful planning and treading on thin ice.

Restore the country? Restore shit.

*

The powerful official Lu Hua Ting, with deep scheming and brutal means, was invincible among the struggles of power. He was tired of seeing the ugliness of human hearts and lived a boring life.

Looking back on his life, the only thing that left a little impression on him was the mu*der of a spy female official by poisoning when he was 26 years old.

For the love of the princess, she sacrificed his life for the country and schemed against him several times. In the end, she knelt in front of the Summer Palace, her facial expression remaining unchanged, with a look of resentment in her eyes, and sighed with a smile, "The winner becomes king, and the loser turns out a thief", and raised her head to drink it all. Blood gushed out of her mouth, in a thin layer of bright red.

Opening his eyes, Lu Hua Ting returned to the age of 23.

Lu Hua Ting looked at the documents under his command, and felt even more bored. He put down his brush and leaned on the back of the chair: "Where is the female official accompanying Crown Princess?"

"... She resigned. She asked me to tell My lord that she would not fight anymore."

Lu Hua Ting was silent for a while, and curled his lips coldly: "She said she won't fight, so the fight is over?" <<less

In her previous life, Shen Lingyu died of resentment and despair. Widowed at a young age, she endured a decade of hardship in a hostile country on behalf of her scheming sister-in-law, only to discover that her husband had faked his death and was involved in an affair with the very woman she had sacrificed for. Consumed by anger and betrayal, she died a painful death.... more>>

Reborn with the memories of her past life, Shen Lingyu is determined to reclaim her life and seek justice. She vows to make her deceitful husband and treacherous sister-in-law pay for their betrayal. This time, she will prioritize her own happiness and live life on her own terms.

However, things take an unexpected turn when the Minister who once mocked her and found her unappealing begins to pursue her relentlessly. He claims it was all a tactic to win her over, but Shen Lingyu is not easily convinced.

“Shen Lingyu, isn’t it too lonely to be alone? Why not take me with you?” he asks.

“Wasn’t it you who warned me to stop having designs on you?” she retorts.

“That was just a ploy to capture your heart,” he admits with a charming smile.

Despite her initial reluctance, Shen Lingyu finds herself drawn to his persistence and charm. As she navigates her new life, she must decide whether to trust him and embrace the possibility of love. <<less

Subjected to live the life of a siren, Aria had experienced, seen, and heard many horrific things. Broken beyond repair, Aria resigned herself to death, when suddenly…

The Grand Duke, Lloyd Cardence Valentine, arrived and whispered.

“Should I kill everyone here?”

The official server play is the real world!

A lot of things are hidden under the veil of the empire-building game ‘Elix’.

In this game, where the player becomes the ‘king’ and builds the country with the gods, the player’s character race is determined based on the aptitude test that is conducted before playing. Once you enter the game with the character that has been decided, the player has a helper god called ‘Daegong’. That was the beginning of the empire-building game, ‘Elix’.

Elix was a game of extreme difficulty, where the player’s empire would collapse due to riots, coups, assassinations, etc. if they were tyrannical, lazy, or ruthless in building their empire. They also failed due to the invasion of other players. Nevertheless, many people were fascinated and intoxicated by Elix. After six months, the news of the official service of the game was announced to the world. Many people were excited and expected.

Qu Dubian, a former celebrity who rose to fame through calculated "green tea" acting and fan voting in his past life, transmigrates into the body of a young prince in the Great Zhou Dynasty whose mother died early.... more>>

Not only does he have just 3 days left to live, but he's also bound to a [Disease Simulator] to extend his life.

There are three ways to increase lifespan:

1. Daily martial arts practice check-in, adding one day of life.

2. Experience diseases, write papers for the system, help the system archive and upgrade, adding three months of life.

3. Make friends, increase their favorability to 60, adding one year of life.

Qu Dubian understands one thing deeply: to gain favorability, helping in times of need is better than adding flowers to a brocade.

A small eunuch about to freeze to death? Save him!

The cheap emperor father, the neglected young master of the Minister's family, the bored imperial concubines in the harem, the only son of a marquis family, hostages from enemy countries...

Qu Dubian transforms into a filial(?) son/best friend/chat companion/playmate/soulmate, and the slowly increasing lifespan value makes him incredibly gratified.

The [Disease Simulator] is also a divine tool for avoiding the terrifying waves of succession struggles!

To exit the imperial power struggle, Qu Dubian stages a battlefield "accident," rescues his exiled elder sister (a royal princess) who was married, and fakes total disability—blindness and crippled martial prowess.

From now on, he can comfortably rest on these military achievements that can protect him for a lifetime, living peacefully.

This move is super profitable!

However—

The Eastern Depot's Chief gives a sinister look: "This one's life was saved by the young prince. Investigate for me, who exactly made a move on the battlefield!"

The newly crowned top scholar looks sickly: "I've schemed all my life, only for a wise ruler. If the wise ruler is in darkness, I'm unwilling to take office."

The young marquis, now the Northern Garrison General: "Imperial power has crushed to this extent, why does Your Highness still harbor kind thoughts?"

The adoptive mother who never cared about worldly affairs: "My son has suffered such a calamity, if this palace still turns a blind eye, how can I be called a mother?!"

The imperial concubines gather in Cining Palace, their resentful red-rimmed eyes leaving the emperor speechless.

In an instant, the princes are all on edge, schemes are churning in the capital, and people's hearts are in turmoil.

Qu Dubian, who only wants to live peacefully: "..."

Help, save me!!

#They all want me to ascend the throne, but I just want to live peacefully#
