To achieve immortality, Xu Ze devoted his life to playing the role of the villain who abandoned the heroine and was incomparably evil.

However, all the heroines suddenly regained their memories of their previous nine lives during their last lifetime.

The hatred and love they had for Xu Ze blackened them all.

"Xu Ze, I hate you for abandoning me! But I also love you. So I'm locking you up by my side so you can never leave!"

"Xu Ze, do you like me, or Big Sister? You certainly like me, right? After all, you told me that you would love me until death do us part."

"Xu Ze, I know why you abandoned me. It's because of this man, right? Then, I will kill him right now, so don't leave me, okay?"

In the dusty streets of Duanshan City, where the clang of the blacksmith's hammer marks the rhythm of daily life, a young apprentice named Hua Kong, derisively called "Little Beggar," moves iron ore and dreams of little more than a full belly and perhaps, one day, a wife. Literate but lacking scholarly ambition, his world is confined to the forge, the sweat, and the simple struggles of a mortal life in a realm seemingly untouched by myth or magic. He is practical, resilient, and perhaps possesses a spark of ingenuity unrecognized even by himself.

But fate has a peculiar way of finding the unremarkable. A fleeting encounter with a desperate Old Beggar, a strange barter involving scraps of venison offal for a tattered, unassuming booklet—this single, seemingly insignificant event becomes the catalyst for a destiny Hua Kong could never have imagined. The booklet, dismissed as a simple health guide, holds secrets that ripple outwards, drawing the attention of imperial princes, celestial cultivators, and forces from worlds brimming with spiritual energy and unimaginable power.

Dragged from his mundane existence, Hua Kong is thrust into a universe of cultivation, immortal sects, treacherous politics, and cosmic conflicts spanning multiple realms. Armed initially with little more than his wits, his blacksmith's skills, and the cryptic guidance of the "Tian Yuan Qi Guiding Art," he must navigate treacherous paths where his low birth and perceived lack of talent make him an easy target. Yet, within the "Little Beggar" lies an unexpected talent for creation and an unwavering will forged in hardship.

How will this youth, plucked from obscurity, survive and thrive in worlds where power is paramount? Can his unique blend of earthly ingenuity and nascent cultivation carve a path through realms of immortals, demons, and ancient dragons? "Cattle and Horse Youth" is the sprawling saga of Hua Kong's ascent, a journey from the forge's fire to the heart of celestial conflict, proving that even the humblest beginnings can lead to the grandest destinies. <<less

Jiang Zao was the excess baggage fake heiress who came into the Xia Family when her mother remarried. Both she and the real heiress, Xia Chuwei, were reborn.... more>>

Unfortunately, Jiang Zao was reborn two days later than Xia Chuwei. The arranged marriage partners were switched, and Xia Chuwei married Jiang Zao's husband from her previous life, Jiang Jinfeng.

Jiang Zao, on the other hand, became the bride of Third Master Fu of the Lin City Fu Family.

Hehehe, Jiang Zao laughed.

Xia Chuwei probably didn't think that the Jiang Family's rise in her past life to become a dark horse in the business world and the richest family in Lin City was due to Jiang Jinfeng's own abilities, did she?

Waiting for Xia Chuwei to be slapped in the face, Jiang Zao quickly accepted her new identity. She saved Third Master Fu when he had a car accident, just like in her previous life, but he was still left with aftereffects, becoming a child with the intelligence of a three or four-year-old.

Being a child is great. No need for romance, no need to be respectful, and it doesn't affect her career.

The Fu Family, grateful that Jiang Zao saved Third Master Fu, and with the initial intention of keeping her around, spoiled her immensely, granting almost every request.

Jiang Zao lived her life raising a child and building her career, once again thriving as she did in her previous life.

What she didn't know was that every time the child fell asleep, Third Master Fu's soul would leave his body, never leaving her side, and he saw another side of her that no one else knew.

Later, the media interviewed Third Master Fu after his recovery, "Your wife was just photographed at the hospital, chatting enthusiastically with a popular young idol. We wonder if you..."

Third Master Fu immediately became anxious, "Zao Zao went to the hospital? Why did she go to the hospital?"

The interview was forcibly ended because Third Master Fu went to the hospital to find his wife. <<less

But fate gave him a second chance. Reborn on the very day his second sister framed him, Su Chen made a decision: instead of draining himself with internal struggles, he would unleash his madness onto others.

A moment of madness brings momentary joy. Constant madness brings endless satisfaction.

When the Su family forced him to live in a tiny, damp, windowless storage room, Su Chen set a fire and filled the entire house with smoke, suffocating the whole family.

He condensed all the negative elements into the worst villain.

He was a s*um who indulged in power and talent, but he suddenly realized that he was destined to be the 'villainous noble who would eventually meet ruin.'

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.
