A non-traditional cultivation novel featuring a bold female protagonist. Proceed with caution if this isn’t your cup of tea!... more>>

[Mind Reading + System + Transmigration into a Book + Cultivation + Group Pampering]

Xiao Xiao unexpectedly dies and transmigrates into a cannon fodder substitute in a Mary Sue-style cultivation novel where the Female Protagonist’s admirers eventually gouge out her Golden Core to save the Female Protagonist.

Luckily, she has a system. Unluckily, it’s not a Comeback System but a useless Retrieval System.

What else could she do? She can only keep her head down, avoid forming her Golden Core, and dodge the tragic fate of being gutted.

[“Master is so amazing, yet he was tragically taken over by someone just to save his disciple. And that disciple, upon learning the truth, not only refused to seek revenge but even tangled up with the perpetrator. How ungrateful!”]

Master: ?!

[“First Senior Brother is a peerless talent and should have become a great Sword Immortal. But to save the one he loves, his Life-Bound Sword broke, and his dantian was destroyed. He ended up as a useless cripple.”]

First Senior Brother: ?!!

[“Second Senior Brother had it even worse. He wasn’t skilled in combat and only loved refining pills. Because of his low combat ability, he became a pawn in the Male and Female Protagonists’ schemes. He was captured to threaten Third Junior Sister, who refused to bow her head and was brutally dismembered.”]

Second Senior Brother: ?!!!

[“Sigh, and you thought she was your bestie? Turns out she’s been hooking up with your fiancé behind your back. They’re even planning to team up to get rid of you!”]

Cannon Fodder 1: F***!

[“And the other cannon fodders, who should have had brighter futures, ended up…”]

Various Cannon Fodders: !!!

Xiao Xiao initially just wanted to use the system to quietly watch the drama unfold. Who would’ve thought the cannon fodders, originally supposed to fawn over the Female Protagonist, would start flocking around her? <<less

Just before his death, Ye Xinian finally learned the truth— his fiancé had long been having an affair with his best friend. Everyone knew, except him. He had been kept completely in the dark.... more>>

After being reborn, Ye Xinian brought reporters straight to their doorstep and caught them in the act. The s*umbag and the homewrecker were utterly disgraced.

Having finally come to his senses, Ye Xinian decided to focus on enjoying life and building his career. Following his agent’s advice, he joined a variety show and became an overnight sensation.

What he didn’t know was that, right after the filming ended, the show’s biggest investor took his photo home and showed it to his parents.

“Mom, Dad, doesn’t he look just like my long-lost younger brother?”

Ye Xinian: …Huh?

The Chi family had finally found the young master who went missing years ago and now, the entire family was determined to make up for the lost time.

Chi’s parents: “How about a hundred million per year in pocket money, would that be enough?”

His older brother: “What if I just gave you your entire talent agency?”

Even a famous actor who had never met him before extended an olive branch: “My film still needs a male lead. Interested?”

Ye Xinian: “…Well… I wouldn’t say no.”

Later, after the movie aired, fans of the ZhiXing CP grew rapidly in number. Duan Zhiyan’s fans rushed to clarify the situation, firmly insisting the two were just childhood friends.

Until one day, during a variety show punishment segment, someone dialed Chi Yunxing’s number. A low, slightly hoarse voice came through the line:

“…Gege.”

Duan Zhiyan: “Yeah?”

Chi Yunxing cleared his throat.

“Qing gege?”

And just like that, the internet went crazy. <<less

Mu Zi'an's soul transmigrated into the son of the State-Stabilizing Duke of Great Li. His predecessor had been willing to humble himself and offer everything for love, yet all he received in return was a heartless rejection.... more>>

Lu Yunxue said, "Accepting your gifts doesn't mean I agree to be with you."

In a fit of anger, he triggered the Choice System.

Choice 1: Endure humiliation, silently sacrificing for love. Reward: A generational green hat.

Choice 2: Fight back directly, cutting ties once and for all. Reward: The Strength of a Fierce Tiger, a single punch carrying ten thousand jin.

Mu Zi'an decisively tore up the marriage contract in the street.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for making a choice! Reward obtained: The Strength of a Fierce Tiger, a punch of ten thousand jin.]

The underachieving young master, dissatisfied with his wealthy father's affair and subsequent divorce from his mother, constantly opposed his father.... more>>

He then injured his classmate Zhang Shuai in a fight over a girlfriend and was expelled from school. Angered, he ran away from home and ended up wandering the streets, where he was noticed by a Daoist Immortal and taken in as a closed-door disciple.

Three years later, after his master ascended to immortality, Liang Liang, near the Taoist Temple, coincidentally became involved in a battle between an undercover policewoman and a drug lord.

To save the Taoist Temple and his innocent martial brothers, he willingly became a hostage to the drug lord and was kidnapped to an isolated island, where he engaged in a battle of wits and courage against the drug lord... <<less

Wei Yunshu constantly toiled for the Cloud Sect.... more>>

Yet, those hypocritical individuals called her the Cloud Sovereign in public, fearing and respecting her, but behind her back, they believed her origins were lowly and that she was unfit to rule.

Some wanted to seize her sovereign position, others to strip her immortal bones, and even her Dao Companion, whom she cherished, valued, loved, and respected, wanted her dead.

This was a marriage she had stubbornly insisted upon in the past, and even the heavens were unwilling to grant her fulfilment.

What was owed, would eventually be repaid.

…

That year, Luo Lingfeng walked out of the Luoshui Divine Palace and became the Cloud Sovereign’s consort.

For her, this was not glory, but endless humiliation.

Her original fiancé tore up their engagement because of this, and her usually gentle father turned ruthless.

In this transaction, no one asked for her opinion.

Later, the Luoshui Palace crumbled.

Then she successfully replaced Wei Yunshu, becoming the true leader of the Cloud Sect.

Finally, she watched Wei Yunshu leap into the Abyssal Vortex, her soul scattered.

She thought she would be overjoyed at having avenged her great hatred, but unexpectedly, her heart turned to ashes.

Wei Yunshu told her not to hate, but if she didn’t hate, where would she find meaning in her existence?

…

Three years after her soul clung to vegetation.

Wei Yunshu walked out of the Abyssal Vortex.

From then on, there was no Cloud Sovereign in the world, only a carefree wanderer named Bo Fengliu, riding a donkey and holding a whisk, traveling across the lands. <<less

Ghostly Resurrection, the apocalypse descends, and everyone struggles for survival. Etiquette collapses, morality declines, and for survival, people betray each other, fully revealing the evil of human nature.... more>>

In his previous life, Si Ming was betrayed by a villain and died with regret. After being reborn, Si Ming, deeply reflecting on his pain, decided to stop being human!

A woman?

Why not find a Ghostly Being as a wife, beautiful and useful.

A brother?

Why not become sworn brothers with a Ghostly Being, loyal and helpful.

A foster father?

Why not recognize a Ghostly Being as a foster father, the benefits are immense!

After joining the Ghostly Being camp, Si Ming was surprised to find that this apocalypse didn't seem so bad.

"In my previous life, I was timid and subservient, everyone treated me like a grandson."

"In this life, even my farts smell fragrant!"

"What did you say? Someone wants to join me? Of course, there can never be too many two-legged sheep."

When the Allied Forces fought their way to the most terrifying Demon King in the Ghostly World, people were shocked to discover that sitting on the throne was a human!

Looking at those who had betrayed him, Si Ming revealed a ferocious smile.

"Welcome to my paradise, have you all written your wills?" <<less

Chu Ruoyan, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Chu's household, saw her betrothed's family perish in battle—all except her fiancé, who survived but was left crippled.... more>>

Everyone assumed the engagement would be called off, yet the Chu family's heiress proceeded with the wedding as scheduled, uttering just two words: "I consent."

No one knew Chu Ruoyan had suffered a nightmare.

In the dream, she broke off her engagement with Yan Zheng. Three years later, while being courted by the heir of Pingjing Marquisate, rebel forces stormed the capital.

The city became a blood-soaked hellscape. Atop the walls stood the rebel leader—none other than Yan Zheng, who had just been appointed Chief Grand Councilor!

He beheaded her prospective groom, slaughtered the entire Pingjing Marquisate household, then subjected her pleading father to relentless humiliation until the old man leaped to his death from the city walls.

Upon waking, Chu Ruoyan made two immediate decisions:

Marry him. Then kill him.

Fate proved unpredictable. While the second resolution remained unfulfilled, she somehow became the most revered woman in the realm. <<less

Ruan An was a renowned beauty and female physician. In her previous life, she saved countless lives but died tragically from a stray arrow, without a peaceful ending.... more>>

The newly crowned emperor, who had usurped the throne, found her lifeless body and removed his dragon-patterned outer robe to cover her.

The emperor was tall and imposing, with a sinister and handsome appearance. He was also the young man she secretly admired in her past.

Due to their difference in status, Ruan An never mentioned to him that they had a son.

As she opened her eyes, Ruan An was reborn.

She didn’t want to repeat the mistakes of her previous life and only wished to return to her hometown with her young son. However, on her journey, their carriage was intercepted by someone.

At that time, Huo Pingxiao was the Marquis of Dingbei, holding military power. His expression was indifferent, but he looked at the child by Ruan An’s side with a bewildered expression.

The child bore an uncanny resemblance to him. <<less

[Spoiled Concubine + Palace & Family Schemes + Medical Consort + Strong Female Lead in Historical Romance + Sweet Romance] ... more>>

In her previous life, Jiang Zhaohua was known as the most vicious woman in the city of Chang’an—accused of mu*dering her brother, mother, and husband. In the end, she was shot dead by the newly crowned emperor.

It was only after her death that Jiang Zhaohua learned:

The reputation of her being a “vicious woman” was intentionally spread by her biological father.

Her so-called malicious nature was deliberately cultivated by him. Why? So he could clear the way for his illegitimate daughter, Jiang Wanxin, raised outside the household.

In that past life, Jiang Wanxin stepped on Jiang Zhaohua’s corpse to become the official wife of Prince Jing, and then trampled over the corpses of Jiang Zhaohua’s maternal family to become Chang’an’s number one talented woman—the beloved “white moonlight” of every nobleman in the city.

After being reborn, Jiang Zhaohua vows to never be foolish again. Her heart is set on revenge:

To protect her mother and three older brothers,

To take back everything that was rightfully hers,

And to carve a bright and glorious path for herself.

What she didn’t expect was that the very emperor who killed her in her past life… would now be clinging to her.

Jiang Zhaohua:

“You probably don’t know this, but… you killed me once before.”

Yan Jing (the Emperor):

“Then I’ll give you my life to make up for it.” <<less

To protect his homeland, Nanruo Wangye Jiang Huaichu came up with a bold plan—he wanted a child with the enemy emperor.... more>>

Disguising his true identity, he infiltrated the rival nation, became the top scholar, and meticulously worked his way close to the enemy ruler.

*

At the Qionglin Banquet, the newly crowned top scholar was drugged and, in a dazed state, stumbled into the emperor’s embrace.

His jade-like features, slender waist, and elegant demeanor made him stunningly attractive.

Xiao Yun remained unfazed, received an unexpected kiss with a calm smile, and then… mercilessly pushed him away.

As soon as the top scholar saw him leaving, his expression instantly turned cold and indifferent.

*

When the scholar sobered up, he deeply appreciated the emperor’s “noble” restraint and showed his gratitude in every possible way—taking meticulous care of him while refusing to even let him touch a finger.

The poised and elegant top scholar constantly hovered before Xiao Yun’s eyes, testing his patience until it finally ran out.

*

Then, the top scholar, a spy from the enemy nation—vanished.

Furious and unable to locate him, Xiao Yun led his army to the enemy’s gates, demanding his person.

The two armies stood in tense opposition, banners fluttering, war cries shaking the skies.

The famed young Wangye of the enemy nation was carefully helped up onto the city walls. He stood tall against the wind… his belly slightly rounded.

Xiao Yun looked up and froze.

He looked again.

“Retreat! Get the h*ll out of here!” <<less

In the fifth year of the Qingyuan era, demons ran rampant.... more>>

Three months after the death of the Lady of the Marquis of Jinyang, a new wife entered the household, but she did not get along with the legitimate daughter born of the previous marriage.

A month later, the Marquis of Jinyang claimed the legitimate daughter was not his biological child. Out of sentiment for raising her all these years, he merely expelled her from the household without pursuing the matter of bloodline confusion.

Ji Chan was driven out of her home, gravely injured and on the brink of death.

That night, she encountered an eight-tailed fox who had fled thousands of miles from the Northern Wilderness to the capital in search of a noble title.

The fox asked her: “Do I look like a human?”

Ji Chan replied: “You look more human than all of them.”

The fox said: “Sadly, all eight of my tails have been severed. I can no longer transform into a human.”

Ji Chan said: “It’s alright. I’ll give you this body of flesh and blood. Live on in my place and take revenge for me!” <<less

Wen Jiayue was reborn.... more>>

She was reborn back to the day she gave birth to her daughter.

As the daughter of a minor household marrying into the Marquis Manor, she had married above her station. Her husband, Shen Fuhan, was exceptionally handsome and talented, with a smooth path ahead in his official career.

Although he treated people with distance and coldness, and even she, who shared his bed, was no exception, after four years of marriage, Wen Jiayue believed he at least had some feelings for her.

So, even when the Old Madam disliked her for not bearing a grandson, and her husband's younger sister was arrogant and unreasonable, she endured it all, wholeheartedly serving her husband and managing the entire Marquis Manor meticulously.

She never imagined that Shen Fuhan was actually involved with the Eldest Princess. She and her daughter were tragically poisoned, meeting a miserable end, unable to rest in peace.

Living again, Wen Jiayue stopped serving. She focused wholeheartedly on taking care of her daughter, only wanting to avoid disaster and not repeat her past mistakes.

As for men...

How could a man compare to her daughter?

———

Shen Fuhan kept feeling that his wife had changed recently.

She no longer attended to his daily needs, no longer cared if he was weary, and those smiling almond eyes no longer held any affection for him.

Shen Fuhan paid it no mind. His ambitions lay with the imperial court; he absolutely wouldn't be hindered by romantic entanglements.

Until, at a flower viewing banquet, he saw Wen Jiayue chatting happily with another man, her gentle face filled with admiration. The talented man and beautiful woman looked like a match made in heaven.

Shen Fuhan watched impassively for a long time. Even as thorns pierced his palm, he felt no pain at all. <<less

On the eve of the college entrance exams, the nation’s most talented cultivators are full of ambition, ready to challenge the heavens. Only A’Diao remains timid and unassuming.... more>>

When the competition begins, she quietly pulls out a common, cheap magic staff and casts a curse: “Everyone, turn into pigs!”

Poof, poof, poof!

A group of geniuses, chasing after the exam scrolls on their flying devices, all plummet to the ground, transforming into little pink pigs upon landing.

After taking first place in her group, she screenshots the “pig farm” and posts it to her social feed to gather resentment, captioning it: “What’s there to be proud of in getting first place? After all, what they lost was their score, but what I lost was their love for me~~~”

Mental Energy from all national contestants +99999…

...

Set against a backdrop of a feudal empire with high-level martial arts and technology, this world has robots, spaceships, Taobao, and college entrance exams. It also features a highly stratified society with a ruling imperial court, entrenched noble classes, and powerful corporations that control the lifelines of the economy. Everyone’s life and death are subject to the whims of others.

Some say that with the revival of spiritual energy and the proliferation of subterranean lairs, the Three Kingdoms will fall to a demon king who will slaughter all in his path.

Some say A’Diao is that revived demon king.

Perhaps she is.

...

The world is high-risk. Characters will use any means necessary to get ahead, and the collective morality does not align with modern perspectives (the protagonist is ruthless as well). This is a parallel, fictional world; do not project it onto reality. Readers who are sensitive about moral ambiguity or prefer “pure” characters should avoid this. The views and actions of the characters do not represent the author’s own; this is simply a story.

The female lead follows a grassroots-to-power trajectory. For the first few dozen chapters, she appears to be lying low but is secretly scheming and profiting. This is not an “instant power-up and dominate” story, but she generally doesn’t let her enemies see another day. There are also hidden secrets regarding her family’s enmity. All characters are essentially tools for the plot; the female lead is a professional focused on gaining money and power. The story arc where she dominates everyone begins with the academy assessments.

A proactive spoiler warning: if the two points above are off-putting to you, please do not read. I also politely decline any writing advice. Thank you. <<less

After an accident, Li Chu transmigrated into an entertainment circle ABO romance novel she had just finished reading.... more>>

Unfortunately, Li Chu transmigrated into the role of a cannon fodder character who was jealous of the female lead, and she arrived right at the scene where the original owner was about to drug the female lead and take compromising photos of her.

The female lead appeared to be a Beta on the surface, but Li Chu knew she was actually an undifferentiated Omega. After being drugged, she would awaken, become universally adored, and start a sweet and satisfying story arc, while the cannon fodder who drugged her would meet a very miserable end.

Thinking of the cannon fodder’s fate, Li Chu looked at the drugged water in her hand that hadn’t yet been given to the female lead, and resolutely drank it herself, not leaving a single sip for the female lead.

Li Chu originally thought everything would be fine this way, but as a result, amidst her erupting pheromones, Ning Manqing transformed into an Alpha in front of her.

“You smell so good, let me take a sniff.”

Li Chu: Where is my peerlessly beautiful Omega female lead??? <<less

Qiao Rong transmigrated into a book and luckily became the group's favorite, the real darling.... more>>

But in other people's families, the group's favorite little cuties are all pampered and get everything they want.

But their family's style...

"Rongrong, isn't the color and pattern of this cobra especially beautiful?" Her brother held a snake and stuffed it into her palm.

"Rongrong, this skirt is full of colorful gemstones, it especially complements you." Mother held a skull skirt and gave it to her.

"Rongrong, Dad beat up everyone who scolded you and drove them out of Li Cheng." Father happily said to her.

Qiao Rong: "..."

Yes, she transmigrated into a group's favorite family of all villains, but she, in fact, is a death-courting, vicious female supporting character.

This bully family will be supplanted by an even more powerful villainous character in five years, and she will die an unnatural death.

Facing the Great Demon King who is still in his teenage years, Qiao Rong stared at his handsome and innocent face and thought, how about I strike first to gain the upper hand?

Great Demon King: "What a coincidence, I was thinking the same thing." <<less

In her previous life, she loved a prince who didn’t love her back. She was framed and her heart was torn out. After rebirth, she wanted to live unrestrainedly, but accidentally married Ling Chen, the Fourth Prince who was calculating, manipulative, and had bad reputation.... more>>

Lan Ling: Why did Wangye climb over the wall and come to my room?

Lan Ling: Does Wangye likes climbing to someone else's bed in the middle of the night?

I’m a fake bride.... more>>

Diello Argenta’s name engraved on my back indicated that I was his soulmate… but I was a fake.

One day, I possessed the unscrupulous villainess’ body inside an adult novel.

Is there any way I could survive?

…Contract marriage!

I’ll be his wife and act the part to protect his purity until the real one appears. So when the Duke of Argenta awakens his power, he will destroy my villainous family.

While becoming a fake couple with the innocent Diello Argenta, acting sweet day and night…

“If your soulmate appears, it’s time to end the contract.”

Hearing that, Diello, the Duke of Argenta, gave me a long look.

“When a Ferro dies, a new Ferro will be assigned.”

As he grabbed the tip of my chin, the distance between us shortened.

“…I’ll kill them until it’s you.”

What’s with him?

Out of nowhere, he started obsessing over me.

Wasn’t he supposed to be a pure and sweet guy?! <<less

From the beginning, it was a paradoxical encounter.... more>>

“A clean body for someone in the mafia.”

She, the agent—

“I don't like drawing on my body, so I haven’t.”

—and he, the mafia boss, met.

“But if you want it.”

His steps were elegant and dignified. Why was someone in the mafia even graceful?

“I could at least engrave your name.”

He picked up a pen with the unusually long space between his middle and index fingers. He pulled off the pen cap with his lips and spat it on the floor, then rolled up one sleeve.

A black line from the pen drew across his pale skin.

{Hye-young}

Hye-young. A name her Italian adoptive parents insisted she keep, saying the Korean name was beautiful.

“How is it? Do you think it’ll look pretty?”

Looking at his elegantly drawn handwriting, Hye-young replied.

“… What if I say it will?”

“If you say it’s pretty,”

A sinister light shimmered in his eyes.

“I’ll engrave it right now.”

Why was it that, at the mention of him engraving a tattoo on his arm, the space between her legs tightened?

“You… really…”

One thing was for sure—He really was a madman. <<less

Unfortunately, her brothers only cared about the fake heiress, her fiancé resented her for ruining his engagement to the fake heiress, and even her biological parents personally shoved her into the abyss for the sake of that girl.

Now reborn, with mudslides, tornadoes, scorching heatwaves, volcanic eruptions, endless nights, blizzards, deadly plagues, torrential rains, and floods looming ahead...

Xia Shige activates her dimensional space, starts farming and stockpiling supplies.

This time around, she’s determined to live well with her adoptive mother and her family! <<less

In my past life, I was falsely accused of treason despite being a good person. Now, reborn, I only want to be a true villain. As the Duke’s son, shouldn’t I be allowed to be arrogant and dissolute?... more>>

What’s that? You want to report me for kidnapping the eldest princess?

No, I kidnapped the younger princess too.

You’re accusing me of buying two s*aves for the price of one?

Don’t slander me! I didn’t even pay!

You say the protagonist will tell the world tomorrow that I’m a s*umbag?

That’s strange, his sister is feeding me grapes right now. It’s only fair for a sister to pay her brother’s debts, right?

Don’t be afraid, I’m not really a devil. As long as you all behave yourselves, I’ll put away these little toys. <<less

He was precocious from birth. By the age of seven or eight, he already had some clear personal rules. However, during his five years at the Twin Immortals Sect, he hardly ever did anything willingly. So, after gaining his freedom, he strived to make sure everything he did aligned with his wishes and made him feel at peace. This wasn't an easy task, but he enjoyed it immensely. ... more>>

It's true that he pursued immortality. But the immortality he sought, or rather, yearned for, was nothing like the ruthless and cruel immortality of the Twin Immortals, Zi Lei and Chi Yin. Nor was it the petty and sordid kind sought by the Sun Light Sect or the Thousand Spirit Gate.

Many times, he would do things that seemed inexplicable to others: unrelated to morality, unrelated to profit, unrelated to right or wrong, good or evil. There was only one sufficient reason behind all this: immortality encompasses all meaningful pursuits.

I have a mirror, reflecting the mountains and rivers of the universe;
I have a sword, cutting through the realms of human hearts and ghosts;
I have a city, seated among the clouds of the Nine Heavens;
I have a heart, smiling through the trials on the path to immortality.

Why do people seek immortality? Because immortality embraces all desires and signifies infinite possibilities. <<less

Zhuang Li, an orphan with a mysterious past and a reputation for bringing misfortune, marries Zhou Jingyun, the widowed Marquis’s Heir, as a strategic move to escape the relentless investigations of the ruthless Censor, Zhang Ze.

Jingyun seeks to protect Zhuang Li, whose true identity as Bai Li, the hidden daughter of a condemned official, could lead to her execution.
