The demon lord Yin Ci had lived for several hundred years and was thoroughly tired of life. He planned to go to the legendary ghost tomb to find the Vision Flesh and turn it into a deadly poison to kill himself. In order to act low-key, he captured a rookie master as a cover.... more>>

As a rare genius who only appeared once in a century, Shi Jingzhi’s life was not long. He also wanted to go to the ghost tomb to find the Vision Flesh and make a divine medicine to live a little longer.

“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.”

In exchange for kneeling to the devil, the devil shall dirty her hands for you. <<less

Bad news: Xu Yanmiao traveled back to ancient times, but he himself is lazy and uninterested in anything but internet cybersecurity, which is useless in ancient times.... more>>

Good news: He's bound to a system.

Bad news: The system is called the Gossip System, not the fortune-telling kind, but the kind that contains other people's private information and scandals. Utterly useless.

More bad news: This system is also glitchy, and the extent of the bugs is unknown.

Even more bad news: This body is that of a minor official who can attend court meetings, while Xu, the time traveler... doesn't understand the classics, can't write with a brush, and is at risk of being exposed for cheating in the imperial exams.

Xu Yanmiao: "..."

Forget it, just lie low, wait to die, maybe dying quickly could lead to another time travel.

...

In the court, the emperor was furious about state affairs, and the courtiers trembled in fear.

Xu Yanmiao pretended to listen attentively but was actually focused on browsing the Gossip System.

[Wow, the emperor just took in a 16-year-old noblewoman yesterday! A beautiful addition! He's getting stronger with age! And he was tossing and turning in bed all night but still has such a powerful voice now! Amazing!]

[This noblewoman used to be the crown prince's concubine! And the crown prince even knows how to write passionate love letters!]

[Wow wow wow! The crown prince sneaked into the grandpa's harem... hiss—got intimate while the old emperor was attending court! Do it quickly! Why isn't there any video...]

[Huh? Why is there no sound?]

Xu Yanmiao cautiously raised his head and glanced around.

[What happened? Why is everyone kneeling? Where's the emperor?]

—The emperor went to catch adultery in the harem.

*

The "imperial exam cheating" bomb finally exploded.

Xu Yanmiao couldn't explain why his handwriting on the exam paper didn't match his usual handwriting, nor could he answer why he didn't understand the classics.

The evidence prepared by the ousted crown prince of the emperor hit the nail on the head, and his personal bodyguard was ready to drag Xu Yanmiao away to the prison, awaiting execution in the autumn.

Xu Yanmiao held onto the gossip that proved his innocence but was in a quandary:

How do I explain the source of my information...

[Say that I secretly met with the Chief Examiner, the Minister of Rites, three nights before the exam? Impossible, that night, the Minister of Rites was dressed as a woman, spent the night at the General's Mansion, with the general...]

The general's body shook, and he interjected: "Your Majesty!!!!"

"Although the evidence of exam cheating is solid, I believe there's still something fishy about this. It should be re-investigated! Especially Xu... Xu... Xu Yanmiao's attire is neat and tidy! Someone who cares so much about their appearance, how could they tarnish their reputation!"

The crown prince, who couldn't hear his thoughts: ??

[Also, what's with saying that the examiner faking yawning and tiredness was intentionally leaving me a gap for cheating? He spent the night before the exam in the pigsty without sleeping, how could he not be tired the next day? But, surprisingly, the Imperial Academy lecturer actually believed in pig's milk...]

The Imperial Academy lecturer's face went pale, and he burst out: "Your Majesty!!!!"

"I... I agree with the General's words! How could Xu Lang cheat in the exam! He... he... he deliberately drank a glass of pure water before the exam, believing that only good-hearted people can use pure things, such a kind-hearted person, how could he cheat in the exam!"

Thinking he had everything under control, the crown prince: ??

Xu Yanmiao was deeply moved.

[They're all good people, even if their brains don't work well, they're trying their best to find reasons and excuses for me.]

[But I really have no way to turn the tables, alas, it's a pity that I haven't finished watching the TV series I've been following. The old emperor angered the empress last night and got kicked out of the bedchamber, and now I'm going to die before seeing the ending. He seems to be planning to paint his face with ink and pretend to be a cat to cheer up the empress...]

"Bang—"

The old emperor slammed the table, forcibly interrupting the continuous stream of thoughts: "I believe Xu Yanmiao did not cheat in the exam! Release him, innocent!"

The civil and military officials couldn't wait to echo, fearing that if they were too slow, Xu Yanmiao might spill more gossip.

"Yes yes yes! Release him innocent!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please end the court session! Let Xu Lang go home and rest! You've tired him out by making him stand for so long!"

The crown prince: ??

Did Xu Yanmiao drug them with hallucinogens or something? <<less

[ Rebirth + Pure Sweetness]

In his past life, Jiang Chuang married a blind prince. The two shared a period of deep affection.

But after being betrayed by Wen Jue, Jiang Chuang was left devastated—their hearts grew distant.

To him, Wen Jue was nothing more than a deceiver wrapped in a gentle, harmless facade.

He played with Jiang Chuang’s emotions, had him wrapped around his finger, and nearly caused Jiang Chuang’s closest friend to fall into a place of no return.

And yet, in the end, it was Wen Jue who took an arrow for him.

Barely breathing, he lay dying in Jiang Chuang’s arms, apologizing, tearing off his mask, and pleading:

“Can you stop being mad at me… husband?”

Before Jiang Chuang could say “yes,” Wen Jue stopped breathing—his hollow eyes turned lifeless.

In the end, Jiang Chuang held him and jumped off a cliff.

Back in this life, Jiang Chuang has only one thought: Wen Jue.

And watching him quietly perform…

Watching how he exhausts every trick, pretending innocence, hiding his true self, and bending over backward to please Jiang Chuang.

Then, slowly—tearing through his facade.

Watching the darkness and twists, the carefully laid schemes, the venomous heart.

And letting him know—Jiang Chuang loves every version of him, as long as it’s him.

P.S.: There’s just a tiny bit of court intrigue~ The author’s a total newbie when it comes to scheming, so please don’t be too harsh, okay? This story is all about the romance! <<less

Audience: 【Ahhhh the childish top is the best! She only has eyes for her! ChaoyunXuezhi is so sweet!!!】

"Adding one million to invest, change the script."

Film crew: 【Is Producer Fu jealous? Such a domineering Alpha doting on the cold beauty Omega… they're such relationship goals!】

Later, paparazzi catch them entering and leaving the same villa together.

Netizens: 【I get it! It's rut season! Seven days and seven nights non-stop!】

Except…

"Why are your eyes still empty of me?"

Snow-white cool fingertips brush against the other's cheek as Pei Xuezhi softly murmurs, "Sister~ In this life, your methods of ruining someone have improved."

It’s said that Mo Ming deeply loved President Han and tried every possible means to replace Han’s “white moonlight.” Later, it was said… President Han insisted on dragging him to get married, but Mo Ming refused no matter what.

Mo Ming was obedient and well-behaved. He liked to kiss Han Shaozhou’s face and say he liked him, but Han Shaozhou thought he was shallow. They had been together for so long, and Mo Ming would always praise only his face, never trying to understand him on a deeper level…

Later, Han Shaozhou realized that Mo Ming really just loved his face, and nothing more.

Some people envied Mo Ming: “He truly reached the pinnacle of life just by relying on his face.”

Some mocked him: “A stand-in is just a stand-in, getting kicked out is only a matter of time.”

Some gloated: “Oh my, President Han’s ‘white moonlight’ got divorced. If Mo Ming doesn’t step aside for the real deal now, when will he?”

Mo Ming was truly in a hurry: “President Han, listen to the call of others, hurry up and let go.”

Han Shaozhou once worried that Mo Ming would become a clingy nuisance that he couldn’t shake off. Until that day, when he, as usual, tried to scare Mo Ming with a breakup, Mo Ming gently nodded and said, “Okay.”

Caught off guard, the man who Han Shaozhou thought loved him to the point of no return just left without looking back.
