But then, when I saw the man that came to destroy the research institute, I realized that this was the world of an angst-filled reverse harem novel.

While living a relatively normal life after escaping from the institute, the heroine of the novel moved in next door.

From the looks of it, I might be the heroine’s neighbor extra.

Originally, the heroine was to save the unconscious and fatally wounded villain and in return, be subject to a fanatical obsession.

But, why. Why is the sub-villain collapsed in front of my house?

The sub-villain, Lakis Avalon, was the king of the underworld and the very same frightening man that I had met at the institute before.

“…”

I took a moment’s glance around then I kicked the man’s body away.

You’ve got the wrong house, Villain. <<less

“Hatred shouldn’t be passed onto the next generation. Neither should this tragedy repeat itself.”... more>>

Paides, the country where Iris was born, waged war on Elda over magic ore. As the war dragged on, her country began to fall behind in numbers, so Paides began enacting a conscription.

Iris, who was still a child, also entered the fray. Not just to fulfill her obligation as a noble, but also to protect her precious family.

…At last, the war ended, but it took away both her cherished hometown and family.

Iris, who inherited the title of duchess, poured her heart and soul into restoring her territory, only for her efforts to be unraveled by the eccentric and naïve princess.

At first, she tried to make the princess—who would eventually become queen—understand how unrealistic her mindset was, but soon gave up after seeing how conceited the proud princess was. Ultimately, she concentrated her efforts on defending her own territory.

“You’re unworthy of the title queen.”

Thus, the curtain rose on the condemnation against her ruthless country… <<less

Transmigrating into a novel one morning, Wen Jing arrived at the side of the one he worshiped and admired the most, becoming a loyal hound that was willing to go through fire and water for his senior brother.... more>>

Even the most arrogant cultivator said: “There is no one in this world who can enter my eyes, but only Jun YanZhi is truly noble.”

Wen Jing grew up alongside his senior brother, idolizing his senior brother beyond all means.

Unfortunately, he was ignorant, and as for this novel, he had only read half of it.

Midway through the storyline, he finally realized that things didn’t seem to be the way he thought they were.

Wen Jing: “Last night, Senior brother infiltrated Master’s abode. Master, please take heed.”

His master: “Nonsense! Your master was inside the abode all night last night, and did not see anyone else.”

Wen Jing: “Last night, Senior brother left on his own without permission to meet someone. Martial Uncle, please thoroughly investigate.”

His martial uncle: “Nonsense! Last night your senior brother and I were drinking and chatting merrily, all the way until morning.”

Wen Jing: “Last night, Senior brother was improper towards me……”

His senior sister: “Nonsense! How can your senior brother possibly do that kind of thing? Don’t tell me you’ve long held those kind of intentions towards him, and unable to obtain what you wanted, you’re now framing him?”

Many years later.

Wen Jing: “There’s this evil brute, specializing in using his top-notch, exquisite looks and elegant disposition to fool people, and everyone is in the midst of danger while not even aware of it themselves.”

Jun YanZhi: “If it wasn’t for you, that evil brute would most likely still be struggling in pain and suffering.” <<less

Vampire Clan: It must be those little Werewolf cubs who did it!

Werewolf Clan: It must be those blood-sucking monsters who did it!

The death incidents continue to occur, and suspicions and distrust arise within the supernatural world, escalating the conflict between the vampires and wolves.

The vampire prince believes that the killer has not been found yet and there is no need for the two tribes to fight amongst themselves. He takes the initiative to send a peace request to the wolves.

Receiving a hot-pressed seal invitation adorned with embossed patterns and a lingering fragrance, the leader of the wolves only throws back two words: "Get lost."

That night, in an ordinary apartment in the city center.

Qiu Rong, wearing a bear apron, hugs the CEO from behind as he enters the door, rubbing against his neck like a little dog.

Gently loosening Yan Ling's half-loose tie, Qiu Rong whispers, "It's not safe lately, and you're coming back so late. How about I pick you up from work in the future?"

Hearing the concern from his boyfriend, Yan Ling's anger, fueled by the rude response from the wolves, dissipates somewhat. He tilts his head and kisses Qiu Rong's cheek, thanking him, "Okay, thank you, my puppy."

Yan Ling: My boyfriend is so obedient. I can ignore his Werewolf leader.

Qiu Rong: My spouse is so cute. I can ignore his vampire prince.

Later on.

When he woke up, Wen Chi transmigrated into a book.... more>>

In the book, the protagonist accidentally obtained a system, and with the help of the system, he pretended to be sick and escaped his engagement with the disabled Crown Prince. Then, at the peach blossom banquet, he demonstrated his extraordinary talent and attracted the attention of the fourth prince…

Finally, everything went well between the protagonist shou and the fourth prince and they fell in love very deeply. The fourth prince overthrew the rule of the previous emperors and became a model royal husband.

However…….

Wen Chi transmigrated and became the cannon fodder brother of the protagonist shou, and he was the one who was forced to replace the protagonist to marry the disabled Crown Prince.

It was rumored that the disabled Crown Prince was burned by fire five years ago. Not only was his face disfigured, but his legs also ended up being disabled. He lived deep in the Eastern Palace and stayed behind closed doors all year round. He had a very strange temper.

Only Wen Chi knew that the disabled Crown Prince would still become the emperor and became a famous tyrant in history. Unfortunately, he was later killed by the fourth prince for being too cruel. Even the cannon fodder, he was not spared, and he ended up tragically.

On the wedding night, the disabled Crown Prince grabbed Wen Chi’s chin. He sneered: “Here comes another one who wants to step on me to climb up.”

Wen Chi in silent tears: “No, no, no. I’m only sitting around waiting to die.”

The disabled Crown Prince: “???” <<less

Feng Ci pacified the Four Seas, created the Six Sects, single-handedly rescued all life under Heaven, and was regarded as the Grandmaster of Salvation.... more>>

Later on, he grew tedious and randomly found a cave to seal away all of his magic items and a small, skinny black snake that was unable to change form no matter what. Manipulating the boundaries of the realms with Dao, his spirit left to wander the great cosmos.

This abrupt journey lasted 3 thousand years.

3 thousand years later, Feng Ci’s divine consciousness returned. Not only had his little black snake and the magic items disappear, even his physical body vanished without a trace.

Feng Ci settled into the body of a youth who just lost his life. Forced to leave the mountains, coincidentally, the Immortal Alliance just happened to be accepting disciples.

Sitting above on a high cloud terrace, with black silk covering his eyes, the legendary coldblooded and merciless Leader of the Immortal Alliance, Pei QianYue, said coldly: Terrible innate constitution. You can go sweep the floors of the outer sect.

Feng Ci: …… Who talks to their Master like this???

After that day, a new disciple arrived in the outer sect.

Good-looking in appearance, cultivation hard to describe in words, and exceptionally lazy. A salted fish who did nothing but eating, sleeping, and waiting for death all day.

Everyone joined in the wager, betting how long it would take for the Leader to sweep him outside the door.

Until the Immortal Alliance turned traitor and the rebellion army marched straight up LinXian Terrace.

Feng Ci casually broke off a branch from the cold plum tree. With a light wave, the sword light shook the Heavens.

Then after that—

It’s said that the Leader knelt in front of the room of that outer disciple for three days and three nights, but still didn’t manage to enter the door. <<less

The once wealthy and powerful Ryuuzen clan has been all but destroyed. Their misfortune began in 1960, when a majority of the family was wiped out when their vacation villa was buried under a landslide. However, search and rescue teams discovered something even more shocking: A majority of the bodies they discovered showed obvious signs of having been mu*dered before the landslide.... more>>

As though it were a trigger, what came to be known as "The Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan" spread throughout the descendants of the family's only survivor. By mu*der, by su*cide, by accident... it seemed none who held the name "Ryuuzen" could live to see the age of 35, and now, the family has been reduced to a single woman, lying in a hospital bed, days away from death.

Kamo Touma was once just another of the endless parade of sleazy tabloid journalists looking to exploit a prominent family's tragedy to sell magazines, but Ryuuzen Rena's kindness melted his frozen heart, driving him to quit his old job and become an investigative journalist specializing in overturning cases of false arrest. Eventually, he and Rena were married, but now, the curse threatens to steal away their happiness.

Kamo prays for a miracle, and his prayers are answered by the Hourglass of Miracles, an artifact spoken of in rumors and urban legends, said to grant one wish to anyone who obtains it.

"Meister Hora", a guide for those who obtain the hourglass, tells Kamo there is only one way to break the curse and save Rena: He must travel back in time to the year 1960 and catch the culprit of the original Ryuuzen Family massacre.

Who was the culprit of the mu*ders that took place almost 60 years ago? Why did they steal away the lives of the Ryuuzen clan? What is the true nature of the "Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan?" And perhaps most mysteriously of all... What is Meister Hora's goal in all this?
