I created a game.... more>>

But when I came to my senses, I found myself inside it.

【Time Travel + Workplace Competition + No Lazing Around + Ambitious Female Lead】... more>>

Overachiever Shen Wei traveled through time and found herself as the lowest-ranking maid in the grand residence of the Yan Prince.

The Yan Prince held a prestigious position, but his consorts were all content to live dull lives. The noble-born princess consort was as tranquil as a chrysanthemum; the concubine sought a life of monogamy; the reincarnated woman was utterly disillusioned with the Yan Prince and had given up on striving for anything; and the other timid concubines dared not make a move...

The queen of workplace competition, Shen Wei, declared: Don't stop me! I'm going to outwork these unambitious slackers!

...

The Yan Prince had grown accustomed to the stagnant atmosphere in his harem, until a particularly skilled courtesan appeared.

This concubine was stunningly beautiful, adept at both literature and dance, hardworking, and always brought him fresh excitement. The Prince couldn't help but take a second, then a lifetime-long, look at her.

Years later, Shen Wei became the all-powerful Imperial Noble Consort, with children and the emperor's exclusive favor.

Meanwhile, the princess consort remained as tranquil as ever; the concubine was aging and had yet to experience a monogamous life; and the reincarnated woman was still eating simple meals in her modest abode...

After half a lifetime of striving, Shen Wei finally reached retirement and revealed her true nature, fully embracing a life of leisure. The retired emperor interjected: "You competed for favor just to retire?"

Shen Wei snacked on melon seeds: "What else?"

Living is all about retirement!

The retired emperor was even more surprised to find, in midlife, that other men were vying for his wife's affections! <<less

How many unexpected surprises can there be in a lifetime? Mo Li, a destitute human child, found himself kidnapped by a silver-haired dragon princess and transformed into a dragon girl. “Simply put, your mother is my older sister and a member of the dragon royalty." The beautiful dragon girl with cherry-white hair explained expressionlessly. ... more>>

"What? You're saying that my mother is the kind of female dragon who enjoys having members of other races serve as her dragon knights. That's not a funny joke… Oww!"

Ming Qiao was a pitiful little boy in the world of cultivation. Born weak and sickly, he didn’t even have a mother.... more>>

His father left to search for medicine to cure him. Little Ming Qiao sat on the doorstep, chewing on a steamed bun, waiting for his father. He waited and waited. But instead of his father, he witnessed a great battle between the Demon Lord and the Celestial Sect.

The Demon Lord was strong. He fought fiercely for three days before self-immolating in an explosion. The cultivation world faced destruction. With a thud, little Ming Qiao collapsed and perished with it.

_______________

When he opened his eyes again, Ming Qiao found himself a hundred years in the past. At this time, the Demon Lord was still a child, and both his parents were young.

Clutching the corn bun that had traveled back in time with him, Ming Qiao set two goals for himself:

1. Find the young Demon Lord, keep an eye on him, and prevent him from destroying the world.

2.Find his mother and prevent his mother from dying.

_______________

The young Demon Lord was easy to find. Ming Qiao stared at the boy, who was slightly taller but looked even more miserable than he did. He fed the corn bun to the young Demon Lord, persuading him with patience.

“From now on, I’ll take care of you, okay? You must not turn to bad person.”

The young Demon Lord: “?”

_______________

The young Demon Lord ate a piece of the corn bun and picked up that small tagalong. The tagalong kept saying he would take care of him, but the little one needed to be carried everywhere. If he wasn’t carried, he would cough up blood, very scary!

As he was carried around, Ming Qiao clung to the young Demon Lord’s neck. He made a promise and tried to brainwash him.

“Big brother, when I grow up, I’ll carry you too.”

_______________

Ming Qiao kept a close watch on the young Demon Lord. After much effort, he finally learnt his parents’ names. But Ming Qiao was confused—

Why did his mother’s name sound the same as that of the Immortal General, the cold and unattainable flower of the Immortal Sect? And why did his father’s name match that of the notorious Demon Lord at the time?

Ming Qiao: “QAQ Help, am I really your child?”

And one more thing…

Would his parents even recognize their future-born child?

The Once-Powerful Duke’s Household Has Fallen!... more>>

The only remaining young master, Shen Xuan, was taken back to Yunshui Village by his wet nurse. He accidentally fell into the water and became a half-witted little fool!

Without the Duke's Mansion as his backing, Shen Xuan became a burden living under someone else's roof. He was tormented by the wet nurse's Wang family, his skin rough and dark, living worse than a beggar!

People in the village all said that a ger like Shen Xuan wasn’t even good enough for the old bachelors in the village!

Unexpectedly, in his eighteenth year, people from the Xue family of the Marquisate, who hadn't been heard from in many years, suddenly arrived.

They presented a marriage contract, declaring that Shen Xuan had been betrothed to Xue family's eldest son, Xue Fenglin, in his childhood, and they were here to take him back for the wedding!

***

Xue Fenglin, the elegant and distinguished young master, was actually being forced to marry a foolish ger!

Countless noble daughters and gers in the capital had their hearts broken!

Everyone knew that the current Marquiss’ wife was not Xue Fenglin’s biological mother and had been at odds with him for years.

Clearly, she had dug up this marriage agreement with a “foolish ger” just to humiliate him!

Facing this arranged marriage set by his birth mother when she was alive, a glint flashed in Xue Fenglin's eyes, but no emotion could be seen on his face.

He made time to go to the separate courtyard, quietly circling to the back of Shen Xuan's room. He was just about to poke a hole in the window paper to secretly peek at this little ger-

Creak—

The window opened from inside. Shen Xuan, clutching a small bundle, was halfway out the window when he bump into Xue Fenglin, terror written all over his face!

Xue Fenglin: ...

Shen Xuan, who was about to sneak away: ...

Shen Xuan: Being single is great. Actually, Young Master, you don't necessarily have to marry me...

Xue Fenglin: The marriage contract is proof, it's a match made by our parents and the matchmaker. You are my fiancé!​ <<less

Zhou Xun had resigned himself to a life of perpetual suffering. His brother was the Emperor's beloved, the beauty mark on a tyrant's face. And he? He was a poor imitation, living in the shadow of his brother, a cheap gift sent by his brother to the Emperor as a substitute. Even his chance at the imperial examination had been ruined, and he felt abandoned by the entire world. He was the cannon fodder of a melodramatic love story, whose tragic death served to fulfill others' romances. Enough was enough.... more>>

At the palace banquet, determined to seek revenge and willing to be executed to bring down the tyrant, Zhou Xun was arrested and thrown into a dungeon. He closed his eyes, awaiting his fate. However, he didn't expect... that when the tyrant awoke from his coma, not only had he switched bodies with a man named Long Aotian but also, due to a few coincidental questions and answers, he mistook Zhou Xun for... his "fellow traveler"??? <<less

In this prehistoric jungle, where even the mosquitoes were bigger than my face, I—utterly weak and defenseless—began my miserable journey of eating grass, eating grass, and eating more grass…

Then, as the last remaining human on Earth, I was captured.

Me: … The hell do you mean, the last human?! A critically endangered species?! So I’m basically a prehistoric relic now?!

Meanwhile, my newly appointed, cold and absurdly powerful human caretaker (who also doubles as my personal poop scooper) squatted down with a dog food bowl in hand, expressionless like a complete idiot:

"Come. Eat your food."

Me: … Who the hell do you think you’re looking down on?! I— I’ll flip your damn bowl! <<less

Because the fake young master offended the big guy, he was driven to replace the fake young master to make amends, and finally he fell in love with the big guy.

He didn't want his lover to die tragically because of him. His life was completely ruined by the mother and son. Once reborn, he returned to his lover's bed. At this time his lover was still young and powerful, the eyes that looking at him were harsh, "Dare to climb my bed, who gives you the courage!

In her past life, this s*umbag had manipulated her endlessly. It wasn’t until her dying moments that she discovered he had been scheming against her from the shadows all along.

“You… what have you done to me?”

At the moment when the pharaoh seemed about to kill him, Yu Zhi Wu’s relaxed and arrogant face changed, revealing obvious concern.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but keep being afraid until you die.”

Yu Zhi-wu no longer understood what was happening – he lost consciousness, and when he came to, before him stood a black-haired man who was trying to protect him, and the pharaoh.

“My lord awakened the sleeping me with blood and took possession of my soul. Moreover, I am not the only one whose soul is sealed on My lord.”

The man, who introduced himself as Martin, called Zhi-wu his lord and informed that he and the pharaoh were Zhi-wu’s subordinates.

“Subordinates?”

“Yes. Now You rule over us.”

Zhi-wu’s heart beat faster with excitement. Before him was definitely the pharaoh, that very bastard, and it was too dangerous to leave him alive even now, but… one couldn’t deny that he was also the strongest. Then..?

“If I can control him…”

Twenty years after Qin Zheng was expelled from his sect, he discovers that the junior brother he used to bully as a child has now become the sect leader.... more>>

The only way to return to the sect is to go back in time and increase his junior brother’s affection toward him.

But he only has ten chances.

Seeing all the affection points he painstakingly built up vanish after just half a year away — reverting all the way back to square one — makes him want to go beat up his younger self.

However, he ends up soul-traveling instead.

Just when he finally manages to return to the sect, he discovers... his junior brother wants to top him?

Xue Ranran, frail since birth, dragged her ghost of a life into the world of cultivation in the name of survival. Her last-ditch gamble? Apprenticing under Su Yishui—a prodigy cloaked in cold grace, lips sharp as his sword.

From the moment she stepped across the sect’s threshold, the whispers never stopped. Su Yishui’s own master had once been the infamous demoness Mu Qingge—a woman soaked in sin, feared across realms, whose crimes piled so high even the heavens turned away. Two decades ago, Su Yishui led a righteous crusade to wipe her out, slicing his way through blood and betrayal, until the demon who raised him was dust scattered to the wind.

Ranran? She played dumb, kept her head low, and stuffed her belly high. Life was already hell—why chase immortality when a warm meal and a cold drink hit harder?

The sect teemed with beautiful senior brothers, dazzling enough to make her eyes sore. Her master, Su Yishui, may look like a fallen deity—but he wore frost like a second skin.

Beautiful? Yes. Safe? Not at all.

She had half a mind to run before he melted her spine into splinters.

Rumor had it the demoness, Mu Qingge, had spent her twisted life pining for him. Wanted him. Couldn’t have him. But now she’s back—reborn, rebranded, practically dripping virtue—and ready to rekindle that forbidden flame.

Ranran was charmed. Who wouldn’t be? This kind of twisted fairytale love was the stuff of legends. She even prepared a generous red envelope, planning to bless their messy reunion with silver and sarcasm.

Until Su Yishui shoved her against a wall, close enough for his breath to fog up her bones.

She stiffened, heart hammering, but bit back the tremble. “Immortal Master,” she said, voice low but defiant, “please, be loyal. Don’t let your lover down—again.”

But Su Yishui only stared at her like he’d fallen into a dream he couldn’t claw out of. His voice was a broken whisper, soaked in obsession:

“Qingge… how much longer are you going to lie to me?” <<less
