But in the end, he was betrayed by the very beings he sought to protect... The master he revered crushed his divine bones, the junior sister he cherished stole his life-bound weapon and gifted it to the protagonist, and the childhood sweetheart he was betrothed to revealed the flaws of his cultivation technique to the protagonist.

Lu Hengge perished in the battle at the Heaven and Earth Furnace, his Dao vanishing. The vast world then worshipped the protagonist and branded Lu Hengge as a demonic, evil enemy.

Before his reincarnation, Wen Yu always thought that his childhood sweetheart, Fu Chengque, was like the snow on the high mountain, unattainable.... more>>

But later, he realized that she was not ice and snow at all. She was clearly a penguin standing on ice. With one slip of her foot, she tumbled down the mountain…

But her tasks were not only related to her childhood sweetheart Wen Yu, but each one was super difficult!

In the eighth year after his reincarnation, Albin unexpectedly regained his memories from his past life and realized he had been reborn into a manga. He had become a minor character destined to be adopted by a s*umbag, used for years, left scarred, and ultimately not surviving past the age of 16.... more>>

Terrified, he quickly crawled out of a burning building and rushed to find himself a new father.

He found a cold, stern man with the same white hair and red eyes as his own, and without hesitation, clung to his leg, calling him "Dad."

But it turned out that his new dad had severe self-destructive tendencies.

Fearing that his dad might die and leave him vulnerable to being targeted by s*umbags again, Albin worked hard to pull his dad back from the brink of destruction.

From that moment on, the father and son relied on each other for survival, and along the way, Albin even managed to win over many kind-hearted monsters.

Years later, a remastered version of the manga began serialization. At the age of 16, Albin was shocked to discover that his father, the Pope, was actually the manga's main villain—a man with grand ambitions who sought to challenge the gods and the arch-nemesis of the story's protagonist, ranking as the top fan-favorite villain!

Albin glanced at his father, who always came home on time with gifts and took care of him.

Nonsense! His dad was clearly a kind-hearted, beautiful person with a pure and restrained nature!

And that ruthless, brutal, and violent villain—wasn't he the one who just let Albin ride on his shoulders the other day?

That emotionally detached, sickly villain—wasn't he the one who gently taught Albin magic yesterday?

That money-loving, profit-driven villain—wasn't he the one who spent a fortune for Albin like a generous benefactor?

That unpredictable villain with multiple personalities—wasn't he the one who doted on Albin like a mother?

... Why did all the friends he had won over turn out to be part of the villain's faction?

When did he become the childhood sweetheart of the manga's protagonist?

The woman is completely naked, her long, wavy hair cascading like thick seaweed, her features strikingly beautiful with an exotic charm, and she has a pale blue fish tail.

Yun Xi can no longer hold on and decides to go on a hunger strike.

Synopsis:... more>>

Shu Qingwan and Rong Yin once shared a past.

But she knew the gap between them was too wide, and there could be no happy ending.

When rumors spread that his first love had returned to the country, she let go and walked away.

After returning to China, as a highly popular inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, it was revealed that she was the star of the viral cheongsam video from years ago.

With her jade-like grace and delicate waist, exuding both elegance and allure, Shu Qingwan’s popularity skyrocketed.

During an interview, when asked about her past relationship, she didn’t avoid the topic, simply smiling and saying, "He taught me to let go of obsession and understand the impermanence of life."

That day, he was there in person, watching her speak every word.

She had stayed by his side for many years.

But what he had truly taught her was to embrace desire, to crave deeply.

Synopsis 2:

Shu Qingwan was the long-lost daughter of the Lin family. After being found, her parents, feeling deeply indebted to her, treated her like a precious treasure.

Seeing their son go from one relationship to another while their daughter remained single, they arranged a blind date for her.

The suitor, having passed her parents’ scrutiny, was naturally exceptional.

She thought there was no harm in giving it a try.

But just as she made up her mind, Rong Yin suddenly appeared, saying to her, "Long time no see."

The man, noble and aloof yet radiating an overwhelming presence, disrupted the scene, revealing his possessive and domineering nature in that moment.

The rose he had nurtured with his own hands could only bloom for him.

【Mini Theater】

Rong Yin was famously known for his ascetic and cold demeanor. He owned a secluded mountain villa where he would often stay for months at a time, as his friends well knew.

But suddenly, rumors began to spread that his mountain villa held a secret.

He wasn’t there to cultivate his mind—he was hiding his beloved white moonlight!

As the rumors grew, his friends became increasingly curious and finally decided to investigate while he was away.

The plan went smoothly, and they successfully infiltrated the villa.

What they didn’t expect was that their nighttime exploration wouldn’t uncover a white moonlight, but rather someone who had mysteriously disappeared for days—

Seeing the figure in a flowing dress running downstairs barefoot, someone exclaimed in shock, "Qingwan?!"

Rong Yin had seen her at her most devoted, loving him deeply.

He had also seen her indifference when she said, "Mr. Rong, I will always have to marry someday."

"I saw flames rise from a lonely mountain."

Later.

She became his unconditional love.

But faith was nothing more than a futile hope.

Isha looked just like Mardi a moment ago. She looked like a woman who had just vomited blood.

“It’s not Mardi, nor Sardia.”

Standing at the end of life, twisting her body like a dying patient, she painfully spat out each word.

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 Hao found himself transmigrated into a parallel world, one that combined elements from multiple novels, and he had become the villain—rich, handsome, and powerful. However, as he thought about the various protagonists from these novels, a sense of panic crept in. ... more>>

Each one seemed destined for greatness, and he was their primary obstacle.

Fortunately for Xu Hao, the Destiny Resentment System activated just in time. This system allowed him to collect the negative emotional energy of those who were “blessed by luck.”

From that moment on, Xu Hao embarked on a path of crushing protagonists and winning over the female leads.

Is the icy CEO too cold to approach?

Xu Hao simply launched a financial attack, forcing her to kneel and beg for mercy if she didn’t want her company to go bankrupt.

Did the star queen seem untouchable? Xu Hao bought her company and casually offered, “If you don’t want your career destroyed, I’ll give you a chance to call me Godfather.”

When faced with an arrogant heiress, Xu Hao didn’t hesitate to freeze her family’s assets, leaving her powerless and destitute.

And when confronting the mother of an 8-year-old prodigy, Xu Hao’s voice dripped with menace: “Madam, you wouldn’t want anything to happen to your son, would you?”

Then, he encountered the seven dazzling sisters of the legendary God of War…

Yaoying transmigrated into a novel.... more>>

In the chaotic and troubled times, many nations were at war. Her father happened to be the most powerful of those vying for supremacy, her brother turning out to be the male lead that finally dominated the Central Plains.

As the male lead’s younger sister, Yaoying was ready to accept this benefit that came without her having to lift a finger.

But it turned out that the male lead hated her to the bone, going as far as to have her marry the sixty-year-old grassland tribal chief in place of the female lead.

Yaoying was forced to marry. Wolves in front, tigers in the back—beasts surrounding her—all coveting the lovely-as-a-flower Chinese princess.

At the moment of crisis, the novel’s young and legendary lord who was destined to die young passed through with his troops.

To escape from their clutches, the trembling Yaoying pointed at the sickly lord: This princess fell in love with you at first sight. If you won’t marry, I’ll seek you out with a dowry!

The lord’s subordinates paled with alarm: Princess mustn’t speak so casually! Our king is a monk, a noble-blooded Buddha’s son!

Yaoying, with a face full of grievances: This princess doesn’t disdain that you’re a monk. In life, I am your person; in death, I am your ghost!

Monk: ….

From then on, the tale of the Buddha’s son and the Chinese princess began to circulate through the grasslands.

After being killed, Xu Turan was given a system and got pulled into a certain thriller romance novel. There, she became the crucial female supporting role who seeks death. However, on the first day of transmigrating, her system was urgently recalled for repair as it was aging.... more>>

As their farewell was imminent, the system was worried about its new host so it repeatedly reminded Xu Turan: [Your role is to be a supporting character who is always seeking death. You do know what that means, right?]

Xu Turan recalled her rich experience of doing just that in her previous life and she replied affirmatively with absolute confidence.

So the system withdrew with its mind at ease.

After a few days, the system that had been away for repair finally returned. When it looked at the situation, it almost malfunctioned: [What are you doing?!!]

Xu Turan, who was busy arguing with the Evil God, answered without thinking, “I’m doing what you asked me to do – trying to find ways to die.]

System: […?!]

*

What the system thought about seeking death: provoking the heroine, vying for the male lead, ignoring the advice of her boss, being the potential villainess of the story and stepping on others, seducing handsome men and humiliating herself, and finally being punished for trying to seek death.

Xu Turan’s understanding of seeking death: provoking elite monsters, robbing supernatural weapons, ignoring the auras that terrifying entities were desperately honing, belittling the dormant pseudo-Gods and raising them in captivity, and somehow dragging a male companion for outings.

It was impossible for her to die. Even if she danced frantically on the edge of danger, it simply was not possible. At most, she was just a little crazy and a little intimidating.

And then as time passed, both traits got increasingly stronger.

Till the end, it was both terrifying and legendary for one to change oneself into a Horror itself.

The system almost went insane: How is that even possible? <<less

A second chance at life? Fine. He would once again destroy the tyrannical Yan Kingdom, usher in a golden era, and uncover the truth behind his enigmatic General Di.

This time, no matter how reckless and willful Di Qiye was, he would spoil him from beginning to end. He would never let Di Qiye die before his eyes again.

A romance story about a man who lovingly embraces me, even after I turned into a baby due to a TS transformation.

On the day of the great battle in the cultivation world, Sang Dai was severely injured and left on the battlefield, forced to watch as her sect escorted someone else to safety.... more>>

In that desperate moment, a book suddenly appeared in her mind. She realized she was merely a throwaway character in the story, set up as a superficial "eldest lady" of the Sword Sect. The true, legitimate daughter and heroine of the original tale was someone else entirely.

Her parents treated her well only to exploit her cultivation for battles; her senior brothers and sisters coveted her blood to extend the heroine’s life. Ultimately, everyone abandoned her for the original heroine.

Just before losing consciousness, a faint pine scent filled the air, and someone bent down to lift her up.

When Sang Dai awakened, she coldly watched the young man standing by her bedside. The figure in black had a regal, distant air, his handsome features looking down at her with indifference.

It was her sworn enemy, Su Xuan—the Lord of the Demon Realm and the original story’s main villain.

Sang Dai: “If you want to kill me, just do it. Don’t expect to get any information out of me.”

The villain lowered his head, scoffing coldly: “I have my own reasons for keeping you alive. You’re in no position to bargain.”

Yet Sang Dai heard another voice: 【“Kill you? If I did that, I’d end up a widower!”】

Sang Dai blinked, her eyes stinging as she fought back tears. “...What did you just say?”

The villain turned his head away. “Nothing.”

But the voice continued: 【“I like Dai Dai so much, even when she cries—she’s adorable! I just want to kiss her senseless!”】

Sang Dai: “?”

*

While staying in the Demon Realm, Sang Dai discovered she could hear the villain’s thoughts.

When she was eating, the villain said, “Why are you eating so fast? I’m not depriving you of food.”

His actual thoughts: 【“Dai Dai is so cute. She ate two bowls of smoked fish today! I made it just for her!”】

When she was sleeping, the villain said, “You’re staying in my main hall, so I’m keeping a close eye on you.”

His actual thoughts: 【“I get to live with Dai Dai! She smells so sweet and feels so soft—I really like her. I’ll just steal a little kiss!”】

When her injuries from the battle left her unable to practice swordsmanship, the villain said, “Useless. Pick up your sword and try to kill me.”

His actual thoughts: 【“I’m going to make that Sword Sect s*um pay! My Dai Dai is the most talented sword cultivator in the world!”】

Sang Dai: “…”

Several months passed as she endured these moments, suppressing a twitch in her eye.

Until one night, during a full moon, she wandered into a bamboo grove. Steam from a hot spring swirled around, filling the air with a moist, fresh scent, and the figure in front of her radiated heat.

His eyes were slightly reddened, and his fluffy ears stood up uncontrollably as he averted his gaze, struggling to say, “Who let you in? Leave.”

But his thoughts rang in her ears: 【“This mating cycle is so unbearable. Dai Dai, please don’t go!”】

Sang Dai looked at the tail tightly wrapped around her waist and fell silent. She poked his tail, saying, “I can help you with that.”

The villain: (≧▽≦)

Tang Zhen did two major things—... more>>

She started a relationship with Chi Yuqin.

And she broke up with Chi Yuqin.

On her first day in the Cardiac Surgery Department of Renhua, Chi Yuqin set her sights on Tang Zhen.

She would call on her during rounds, single her out in meetings, and even pick her for case summaries of difficult and unusual illnesses.

Tang Zhen was pushed to the point where she nearly wanted to submit her resignation.

Chi Yuqin wore a cold expression, looking at everyone as if they were lacking, yet her emotions were unreadable only when her gaze fell on Tang Zhen.

One was a favored daughter of the heavens, standing at the top of the pyramid; the other was a pure and simple flower that had sprung from a mountain valley.

The difference between them was like that of the clouds and the earth.

Tang Zhen felt as if she were walking on thorns.

Until that night—Chi Yuqin, under the pretext of being drunk, made her stay.

She grasped Tang Zhen's slender, fair wrist, her usual cool and severe demeanor replaced by one of utmost seduction, her moist, hot breath seeping into the shell of Tang Zhen's ear—

"Stay? Do you want to?"

A deep blush spread across Tang Zhen's face.

Chi Yuqin leaned her head on her shoulder—

"Those are two separate things."

This unequal relationship lasted for three years.

In Tang Zhen's eyes, it had been her own chaotic one-woman war.
