The high school girl he rescued closely resembled his first love.... more>>

A workaholic who is still reeling from his sorrowful first love and a high school girl who looks like the splitting image of that very person.

There is no forgiveness. There is no stopping it. His “second” first love starts――.

“I would like to repay you…… if you don’t mind.”

One night, while living a contented life as a working adult, Ichigo rescues Luna, a high school girl, from a drunkard. This girl looked like two peas in a pod with his first love, Sakura.

“Do you know my mother?”

He is made aware that Luna is Sakura’s daughter with the news that she has passed away. And then…

“Kugiyama-san, you were the person I’ve always admired in my heart, ──the person of my dreams.”

Luna confesses that she has always had a pang of longing for Ichigo from the memories Sakura had told her about.

“Could you please have me as your lover?”

“Your stories are always so interesting, Ichi.”

Ichigo is unable to forgive Luna, as she reminds him so much of the Sakura of those bygone days. He can’t stop it. He fell into first love for the second time. <<less

Isabel, who runs a bookstore alone, has had one recent worry. The worry is none other than her customer, Björn Turner, who has been visiting the bookstore every day for three months without buying a single book.... more>>

Then, one day,
Isabel happened to come across a mysterious book and made a wish that Björn would stop coming to the bookstore...

From that day on,
Isabel's secret dream began.

*

"Huhh. Ah..."

Her face, flushed with pleasure, looked so unfamiliar. The woman's moans were heard as the man's movements slowed down and his large hands moved, massaging on her waist.

She couldn't believe she could make such a le*d expression. A shocking realization passed by, leaving only tearful doubts behind.

"Why am I with Björn Turner, and in that way!"

She couldn't understand it. She didn't even want to understand. Something was definitely wrong.

Isabel roughly brushed her eyes with her fingertips and blinked several times, even trying to open her eyes wider. However, the scene in front of her did not change.

Rather, the two on the bed seemed to mock Isabel as they exchanged affectionate kisses. The woman's gestures on the man's neck were quite assertive.

"Why... No, no. This is a dream! It can't be!" <<less

“If Nelia isn’t here, I would change again.”... more>>

Nelia didn’t expect it.
That she would be entangled with Duke Hart, the cruel villain of this world, as well as the most beautiful man in the empire.

But…… He was so different from what others thought of him.

“The dessert is for Nelia.”
“I prepared the best bed for you.”

Is this person really the villain of the original story?
He’s too kind to become something like that.
Sometimes, it feels like she’s actually raising him.

And to make things worse, she came to learn about his deadly secret……

Ah… What should she do, then?

***

Nelia asked Duke Hart.

“What if I say I like another man?”
“I will have to get rid of him.”
“How do you get rid of him?”
“That’s a secret.”

Although the beautiful smile still remained on his face, his eyes became a bit sharper than before.

“Even if Nelia doesn’t take a liking toward me, I have no other choice than this. Therefore, I will try my best to make you like me.”

The cool touch brushed against Nelia’s cheek.

“However…… Do not presume that you like other men. It hurts a bit even if you are just saying it.” <<less

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

Ye Yunting, the unpopular first son of the Duke of Qi, was married by an imperial decree to Prince Yong’an, Li Fengqi.... more>>

Prince Yong’an defended the northern border and had killed countless enemies, deserving the title of the “War God of Bei Zhao”.

However, when Ye Yunting married him, this bed-ridden War God was already poisoned, his meridians severed.
　　　　
Ye Yunting was devastated by the marriage. Out of fear of the War God’s reputation, he hid in his own courtyard to live a life of peace. Not long after, he accidentally drank the poisonous soup given to the Prince of Yong’an and died.

Before his death, the Yong’an prince, who was said to be dying, half-knelt in front of his bed, held his hand, and solemnly promised, “You lost your life because of me. From now on, I will do my best to protect your loved ones, so go in peace.”

Later on, he ascended the throne as the emperor, and indeed honored his promise to shelter Ye Yunting’s only family.

In his second life, Ye Yunting still couldn’t avoid the fate of marrying Prince Yong’an. But this time, he decided to take good care of the dying man and repay his kindness from his previous life.

However, he did not expect the man to be cured and then to be impatiently pulled into his arms.

He was held tightly in the man’s embrace: “Follow me. From now on, I will protect you.”

The protagonist shou, Xie Sui, was a proud son of heaven. He had an illustrious family background, was cold and removed from desire, and attracted many (psychopathic) admirers. From the gentle senior to the paranoid president, to the haughty and proud arch-enemy, these big guys were all top leaders of their respective fields, yet they were all crazy about him.... more>>

After pushing him down a series of mentally and physically abusive paths, the three of them decided to join hands to destroy the Xie Family, imprison Xie Sui, crush his pride, and turn him into a pet that could only rely on them.

While the crowd of readers howled “Wuwuwu the feels~”.

Song Yu was already so angry he was going crazy. Not wanting to read any more of this eye-searingly bad novel, he cursed, “Idiots.” and hurried offline.

As a result, when he woke up, he’d transmigrated.

He’d transmigrated to become the Third Young Master of the Song Family in the novel, who had only been briefly mentioned in passing, would die of a terminal illness, and was Xie Sui’s childhood friend.

Song Yu was terribly upset. At the same time, he’d already come to a decision in his heart––those three idiots, had better not think about wanting to get close to his little childhood friend!

Xie Sui was born cold-hearted. In two lifetimes, he’d never tasted the sweetness of love, nor had he ever experienced the feeling of being protected.

After destroying three big families and personally killing his enemies, he was reborn back to when he was 15 years old. He had to hide the violence and coldness in his heart and pretend to be the youth with a gentle and clean appearance that he’d been in the past.

Everything was the same as before, except that the little childhood friend who was nothing but a vague memory in his previous life was exceptionally different this time.

Like the spring breeze that thawed the frozen soil, someone reached into the abyss and grabbed his blood-stained hand.

Song Yu tore apart a love confession letter like he was venting and fumed, “Don’t pay attention to those people, don’t believe in their sweet words. They’re all scum, and their love is worthless. Don’t like them, okay?”

Xie Sui gazed at him for a long time, then laughed, “Alright, I don’t like them.”

I only like you. <<less

Lin Feng looked down at him with clear eyes: “Do you like me?”

Ji Mingyue: “No no no no no …”

Lin Feng: “I like you too.”

Wu Miaomiao was the last in line of the Witch Clan. When she was 2 years old, her master found her a fiancé. When she was 18 years old, she felt that it was time to meet with this fiancé. And so, she carried her school bag and took the train into the city.... more>>

“My dearest husband, come follow me back to the mountains.”

Ji Lang was amused. Amongst the ghosts he had met, this was the first time he met one who came to groomnap.

“In that case, shouldn’t we first have our nuptial night?” said Ji Lang. Wu Miaomiao tilted her head. She felt it was logical and headed home with her husband.

Ji Lang was the reincarnation of Ephialtes. It was said that if he was to be fully awakened, he would possess the powers to drown the entire human population in their nightmares. He could enter into anybody’s dreams, probe into their dreamscapes and pry into their deepest secrets.

Because of this ability, for these 20 years, Ji Lang could not have a good night's sleep. He was forced to sink into all sorts of nightmares till the day he met the girl from the Witch Clan. On the first day he met her, he slept on her bed.

Ji Lang: “You said that you are my wife? (I finally can have a proper sleep (#^.^#))”

The people from the metaphysical world feared the power of Ephialtes. They were constantly wary of him fully awakening his powers and destroying the world afterwards. They planted spies near him to put an end to him upon signs of his awakening.

Wu Miaomiao: “I heard that you people want to bully my dearest husband, I will curse you all oh~~~”

Ji Lang: (#^.^#)

Big shots from the metaphysical world: “When are the two of you going to divorce?”

Ji Lang: “Do you want to die?”

In the original novel, the vicious side role had handsome looks and body type, not to mention his famous family background. The only thing was, his brain malfunctioned a lot. Not only did he try to use the ‘unspoken rule’ on the male gong, Lu Nanyun, but he also pushed the male shou, Wei Yichen, down the stage during a rehearsal.

The night before the debut announcement, his terrible acts got exposed, and he lost his privilege to debut, becoming the stepping stone for the main characters. His past fans even poured sulfuric acid on him as revenge.

When he transmigrated, Ji Zeyu was about to implement the ‘unspoken rule’ on Lu Nanyun while Lu Nanyun’s hidden camera was about to capture everything.

He was initially planning to follow the storyline and get out of the place.

Then abruptly, a ring came from his phone —

His oldest brother sent a message: “If you can debut, you will get the spot as the male lead in this big film.”

His second brother sent a message: “If you can debut, these private islands are all yours to pick from.”

His sister sent a message: “If you can debut, you will be on the covers of these three top magazines.”

Ji Zeyu, who had just experienced what it was like to have a powerful background for the first time, joyfully kicked Lu Nanyun aside.

Lu Nanyun: “Didn’t you say you want to sleep with me?”

Ji Zeyu: “Sorry, you’re not worthy of me.”

Lu Nanyun: “… Come back here!”

Ji Zeyu left without turning back. He decided to stay away from the original main characters and fulfill his previous life’s dream of becoming a superstar. <<less
