I was reincarnated as the scoundrel grandson of a margrave. But my family tree is a little strange.

【Transmigration + Goddess System + Heavenly Looks + Male Siren + Revenge Story + Chase Him to the Grave】... more>>

Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player.

But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel.

In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on.

System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses."

Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level."

His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance."

His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you."

A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!"

His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~"

At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake.

His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection.

Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied:

"Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time." <<less

Sneaky Bad Boy & Flirty Shou... more>>

Xie Ci’s life started off in ruins. Abandoned by his parents and mistreated by malicious relatives, he learned early on that nothing is reliable except money.

In his previous life, he buried himself in his career, building his business empire. Many in his circle called him a madman, willing to marry a man for profit.

The high-intensity work consumed his life, and his superficial marriage fell apart, even leading to his partner’s tragic death.

His chaotic life was completely destroyed the moment the explosives went off.

After being reborn, Xie Ci wanted to slow down, enjoy the present, and experience the fun of being a poor kid again. But Gu Yufeng’s behavior was odd, always looking at him with a complex, pitying gaze.

When his cousin gave him a hard time, the next day, the cousin broke his leg.

When he helped his uncle with his street stall, a lunatic came and took everything, leaving a wad of cash behind.

Even the cafeteria auntie was unusually generous, giving him a plate full of meat and warmly encouraging him to eat more, saying there was plenty.

Xie Ci turned his head in confusion, and sure enough, saw a certain handsome guy at the back of the line sneaking a smile. Not only did the style change, but it was also quite improper—

A group of people sneaked out for a late-night snack, and Xie Ci handed Gu Yufeng a toothpick.

Gu Yufeng didn’t take it: “No need, I’m really good at sucking.”

Xie Ci: “Sucking what?”

Gu Yufeng: “Of course, sucking that…”

Everyone: “Hmm?”

He smiled slightly: “That snail.”

Xie Ci nodded: “I thought you meant sucking that…”

Everyone: “Hmm?!”

He said slowly: “That snail’s butt.”

Everyone: “…” I suspect you guys are being suggestive!

The marriage between the founder of the Xie Group and the only son of the Gu family was a sensation, and no one thought it would last. But five years later, the two major groups had formed a powerful alliance, and Xie Ci and Gu Yufeng became known as a perfect couple.

Only Gu Yufeng knew that this marriage was a joke, as in Xie Ci’s world, there was only himself.

After a big fight over a third party, Gu Yufeng suddenly found himself back at seventeen, ready to settle the score with Xie Ci. But the pale, often injured, and truant teenager was the same old fox from his family who never blinked when causing trouble?

Gu Yufeng sat in the car, watching Xie Ci setting up a street stall across the street, frowning: Go buy all those Ultraman figures from that stall.

Driver: Huh? Weren’t you here to settle the score with him?

Gu Yufeng: Fatten him up first, dealing with such a pitiful guy is no fun.

Driver: … <<less

One day, Lin Wangye was reborn, finding himself twenty years in the past, before he was even born. The young master couldn’t stand the miserable state of being on the streets and, in his desperate moment, had a brilliant idea:... more>>

Why not find his 18-year-old, rich second-generation dad and keep living off him?

With this fantasy in mind, Lin Wangye started asking around at the school, eventually tracking his dad down at an internet cafe. There, his dad was furiously pointing at the black-and-white game screen, cursing as he waited to respawn.

Unable to watch any longer, Lin Wangye yanked his dad off the couch and sat down, expertly showing off his skills.

His dad: "Long-lost wild dad! I’m tr*sh, carry me!"

Lin Wangye: "...?"

And that’s how Lin Wangye met his dad, Lin Shen.

For a moment, Lin Wangye couldn’t decide which was more outrageous: the fact that his dad was calling him ‘dad,’ or that his dad had a fight with his own father, got his allowance cut off, and now needed him to take care of it.

The biggest shock? He discovered his dad didn’t even like girls.

Help! Then where did I come from?!

With these questions in mind, Lin Wangye became good friends with Lin Shen, trying to figure out what had happened in the past.

When Lin Shen was young, he was a bit of a s*umbag, flirting with everyone. He had ambiguous relationships with the handsome internet cafe manager, the gentle bookstore owner, and others.

But according to Lin Wangye’s observations, the person his dad truly cared about... was probably the cold and aloof classmate who was always secretly watching the two of them.

Even though he still looked like a teenager, it wasn’t hard to see that this guy was his dad’s business rival many years later: Lu Chengxuan.

*

Besides his dad, Lin Wangye was also determined to find another person. He didn’t know when or where, but he was sure they’d meet eventually.

As expected, he ran into that elegant uncle he had once admired from afar.

Before his rebirth, he couldn’t catch him and couldn’t get him. But now? Let’s see how easily I can take control and make him mine this time!

Lin Wangye put on his sunglasses: "Hey, handsome, want to chat?"

Handsome guy: "Aren’t you with Lin Shen?"

Lin Wangye: "?"

Handsome guy: "?"

Lin Shen: "?"

Lu Chengxuan: "?"

After Ning Jia and her best friend finished mocking a novel set in the 1970s, fate played a cruel trick — they both found themselves transported into the very story they had ridiculed. Worse still, they had become bitter rival sisters-in-law, forced to live under the same roof.... more>>

Her best friend was now the substitute for her husband's unattainable first love, struggling through nights of endless indulgence and emotional exhaustion. Ning Jia, on the other hand, became the pitifully devoted wife, waiting alone in an empty room for a man who barely acknowledged her existence. Cold, hungry, and at the mercy of a tyrannical mother-in-law — life had become unbearable.

Best friend: “Shall we divorce?”

Ning Jia: “Yes! If you go, I’ll go too!”

Divorce sounded easy, but without money, escape was impossible. If they couldn’t leave, then they would rise — and fight.

Though they seemed at odds in public, clashing at every encounter, behind closed doors, they were a formidable alliance — united in purpose and unstoppable in action.

Mother-in-law troubles? Merely a minor inconvenience. Together, the two of them proved invincible, rendering their venomous elder powerless.

Poverty and hunger? Unthinkable. Gifted with ingenuity and drive, they quickly turned their fortunes around, with meat on every table and money flowing faster than they could count.

And as for that man—Tall, powerfully built, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, he was undeniably attractive. But hadn’t he always treated her with cold indifference? So then why, now, was he so wild and possessive, kissing her until she cried, clinging to her night after night in obsessive passion?

Ning Jia could no longer take it: “I want a divorce!”

But Li Yao held onto the hem of her clothes and said coldly, “Divorce? After two children, where exactly do you think you're going?” <<less

Dungeons suddenly appeared in the world, and the concept of "levels" was born among humanity.... more>>

However, only women possessed the concept of levels.

Men had no levels, but instead, somewhere on their bodies, a mark resembling a scar with a number appeared.

Sometimes it was a hundred, a thousand, or even just one.

For a while, the meaning of this mysterious number remained unknown.

Finally, the truth was revealed:

That number… represented experience points.

And the method by which women could absorb a man’s experience points was by ❌️❌️❌️.

The value of men underwent a complete transformation.

Handsome? Wealthy? Well-educated?

No, the men with the most experience points were the ones who became popular!

In this world, the mark that appeared on my arm was…

“Nothing.”

Huh? Could it be that I’m the least desirable man in this entire world...? <<less

The first love that had met a cruel end appeared before her once more.... more>>

Do you, by any chance, remember? That we, too, once had such impulses. Cold lips pressed gently, and a red tongue peeked out between slightly parted lips.

It wasn’t a kiss.

It was merely a light touch, as if to gauge the other’s feelings. He didn’t move a muscle until her lips pulled away.

As if he hadn’t anticipated the mistake, the surprised look on his face made her feel embarrassed.

“…Sorry, did you not like it?”

Without a word, he looked up at her.

Blinking a few times as he stared directly at her, he suddenly grabbed her trembling wrist and whispered in a husky voice:

“Do it again.”

“…What?”

Her eyes opened wide.

“I said do it again. It was too short—I couldn’t tell if I liked it or not.” <<less

Lin Sui transmigrated into the cannon fodder of a cultivation novel, a cannon fodder with a human cauldron constitution, destined to be a servant. Lin Sui, unwilling to resign himself to it, seduced the Son of Heaven, but when he cut out his Dao bone and transferred it to himself, the Heavenly Law struck him down.... more>>

That Dao bone in his body became the System that restrained him, issuing the order: You must retrieve all of his soul, serve him as your master in every world, and spare no effort for him until your dying day!

Lin Su was all smiles as he agreed, but all his life, the thing he loathed most was others telling him what to do.

Therefore…

In the first world, he was an arrogant and domineering, rich and powerful Young Master, while the other person was a pitiful and humble illegitimate child.

He humiliated him by saying he was only fit to carry his shoes, and spoke words of love next to his ear when the noise of the crowd boiled over.

System: You motherxxxxxx [beep——]

Lin Sui, innocently: Aren’t I serving him as my master?

In the second world, he was a newly-promoted top talent in the entertainment industry, while the other person was a former Best Actor who went silent after an accident.

He ridiculed and suppressed him, saying deserved to make a comeback even if he was past his prime, and kissed the scars on his body at night, leaving resources behind to gracefully leave afterwards.

System: [beep——]

Lin Sui, spreading his hands: Am I still not sparing enough effort?

In the third world, he was an S-rank Alpha, while the other person was a mentally-damaged former SSS-rank Alpha.

He looked down on him, saying that useless people also deserved to get back on the battlefield, and when no one was around he said ‘since you can’t smell pheromones, then I will be your omega’, and almost lost his life giving himself to the other person.

System: …..

Lin Sui, smiling: Is my dying day enough?

Even though, in the end, he was tucked away in a golden house by the wealthy upstart, captured by the triple gold Best Actor, and completely embraced by the Imperial Marshal, he was still happy.

System, weeping bitter tears: Big brother, I’m begging you, I won’t tell you what to do any more! <<less

When she saw him, her heart plummeted. The moment she saw him, she fell into an irresistible love.  ... more>>

Can a human be so beautiful? So utterly lovable?

“You have to love me as much as you’re loved because of me. That’s fair, right?”

She didn’t know it was because of an ancient vow. Da-mi had forgotten everything.  

***  

“This isn’t even punishment. No. Compared to what you did to me, this is nothing.”  

Da-mi twisted her waist crudely, clinging to his arm. As she panted hot breaths and pleaded, Hyeon easily pinned her feeble resistance. His clouded eyes warped with perverse pleasure as he sank his fangs into her nape again.  

“Why do you only do this to me? You who forgot me, how dare you!”  

***  

On a certain day from a precious memory only it remembered.  

“What’s your name?”  

When the girl asked, it felt a flicker of joy.  

Finally, I can tell someone my name. I, too, have a name.  

“Dregs.”  

[T/N : "찌꺼기" translates to "dregs," or "leftover scraps." It implies something worthless, cast aside, or unwanted—mirroring how he was rejected at birth for being "sinister" and "ominous."]

Though its gaze remained blank, its long tail wagged eagerly.  

“…….”  

The girl froze, her face terrified.  

It stared at Da-mi’s trembling form, then impulsively said:  

“Just call me Snake.”  

“Snake” was not its name. If the girl called it Snake, it would be no different from living under another’s identity.  

But a human’s lifespan was a mere century. To it, who had lived eternity, that was but a fleeting moment. If the girl wasn’t afraid, it could temporarily shed its identity and become a snake.  

It decided to become a snake.  

A ordinary snake living among humans, a pet snake cherishing the name its owner gave… If I can stay by your side… Even a century would be enough. <<less

Ren Er grew up eating meals from different households, rough in life and rough in spirit but not in looks.... more>>

Standing over 1.9 meters tall, with solid muscles, an arrogant little braid, and an exaggerated row of earrings, he was a sight that made people avert their gaze wherever he went.

Most of all, the iron rod resting on his broad shoulders was downright terrifying.

Ren Er had long grown used to being treated like tr*sh, to people avoiding him as if he carried the plague, until one day, after getting injured, he met someone who was like an angel.

That was it. He decided this person would be his for life!

But after pursuing them for a while, he realized… he had a rival.

A well-dressed, refined-looking rival. Suit, luxury car, money raining down like confetti - this old man was trying to prey on the young!

Yet, Ren Er’s sense of crisis only deepened, pushing him to pick trouble with the guy again and again.

And then, somewhere along the way, he noticed, this high-and-mighty man would secretly wipe away tears when no one was watching. Drunk, he’d cling to Ren Er, calling him “big brother” and begging for hugs.

So, Ren Er hugged him. And damn, it felt pretty good.

Later, when he had nowhere else to go and got taken in by the so-called “old man” he realized this guy was fragrant.

*

Ren Er had originally come to cause trouble for Song Wanting, but someone else beat him to it. Seeing the man cornered against the wall, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, Ren Er felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort.

After rescuing him, he scoffed, “You’ve got a decent build. How are you this bad at fighting?”

Song Wanting dusted off his clothes and replied calmly, “Fighting isn’t exactly a necessary life skill.”

Ren Er let out a laugh of disbelief. “Well, for President Song, getting beaten up sure seems like one.”

“I like you!”... more>>

Hyerin had been nursing a hopeless crush on her brother’s friend for twenty years. In a love that long, pride and dignity had long since been worn away. She had tried countless times to provoke Jaeyoon, the man who always said he couldn’t see her as a woman.

“Hyerin, I’m sorry. Don’t cry.”

“Hhngh… Just tell me you’re gay! Or that you’re impotent! You bastard…”

That should have been the end of it. She had finally made up her mind to let him go...

...and then alcohol went and ruined everything.

“You’re mine.”

One drunken night with him, and the resolve she’d built up came crashing down.

What the hell…

You said you didn’t like me. You said you didn’t see me that way!! Then why are you acting like this?

“Do you still not see me as a woman?”

“Yes.”

“Have you never been attracted to me, even once?”

“No.”

“So you’re saying you don’t see me as a woman. That you can’t even get hard because of me?”

“…….”

“Prove it, then.”

Something wasn’t right. This man—he was definitely hiding something.

“If you get hard… I swear I won’t let you off easy.”

And at last, Jaeyoon’s tightly guarded secret was about to be dragged into the light. <<less

I transmigrated as the villainess in a novel who repeatedly harms the female lead out of unrequited love for the male lead, only to end up with her family destroyed and her life ruined? Upon hearing this news, Tang Yuan felt as if the world had gone dark.

Tao Yuan, trembling with fear, watched as her own hands gripped Jiang Zi’s neck and pinned her down in the water, paralyzed with horror.

She vaguely remembered the original’s domineering words, “Didn’t I tell you to stay away from the Chu Yu? Can’t you understand?”

Instinctively loosening her grip and stepping back, she looked up to meet Jiang Zi’s calm, pitch-black eyes. In a moment of heated impulse, she blurted out, “You only have Chu Yu in your eyes. When will you ever look at me!”

Jiang Zi watched as the idiot who had just tried to kill her turned into a soft-shelled shrimp(quivering mess) in the next moment, her gaze clouded and fluctuating.

Tang Yuan’s sudden change had Jiang Zi eavesdrop on her inner voice daily, repeatedly confirming her true feelings.

He’s even more insane than the rumors say.

I had to throw away my pride like it was nothing.

His piercing blue gaze bore down on me,

Until she fulfilled her purpose—and then tried to escape from me.
