Kim Dokja does not consider himself the protagonist of his own life. Befitting the name his parents gave him, he is a solitary person whose sole hobby is reading web novels. For over a decade, he has lived vicariously through Yu Junghyeok, the main character of the web novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse (TWSA). ... more>>

Through Junghyeok, Dokja has experienced secondhand the trials of repeatedly regressing in time, in search of an end to life-threatening “scenarios” that force people to act out narratives for the amus**ent of god-like “Constellations.”

After reading 3,149 chapters—long after all other readers lost interest—Dokja finally resigns himself to the story ending. However, he receives an enigmatic message from the author, stating that the story will soon be monetized, before his surroundings suddenly go dark.

He swiftly realizes that fiction has become reality and he is now living through TWSA. Although he is the singular omniscient reader of the events yet to come, his success in the scenarios is not guaranteed—but perhaps his advantage will empower him to step into the protagonist role that never suited him before. <<less

Tang Shishi was the number one beauty in the court. She was arrogant, domineering and aggressive. She accidentally picked up a book and learned that she was just a vicious female second lead in a palace struggle. Later, she would fight for favor with the female lead, and eventually she was ruined and died miserably. ... more>>

Now, they have just entered the fief of Jing Wang, and the first meeting of the male and female leads has not happened yet. There are two paths before Tang Shishi. The first is to hold the heroine's thighs tightly and join the female lead camp early; the second is to please the male lead and steal the favor of the female lead.

Tang Shishi chooses the third way.

Tang Shishi knew that the male lead's adoptive father Jing Wang seemed to be low profile, but in fact he was overly ambitious. In the near future, he will invade the capital and proclaim the emperor before the imperial court, but it is a pity that he passed away before passing the throne to the male lead.

This year, Jing Wang is twenty-four years old, still young, and has yet to marry a wife.
Anyway, she already in the Forbidden City. Instead of being the concubine of the male lead, it is better to be his adopted mother, the empress dowager in one step.

Zhao Chengjun had no intention to get married, so he adopted his subordinate son as his heir. He thought he would be with his army in his whole life.

Later, the imperial family sent a team of beauties to Prince Jing, and the leader was named Tang Shishi.

His young, adopted son and his subordinates also persuaded: Your Highness, this is a beauty trap.
Jing Wang: I know.

Everyone in our family has their own secrets.... more>>

My mom is the only daughter of a former interstellar pirate, my father is a secret agent of the Old Century Allied Political Army. My adopted older brother has a special bloodline of beastmen, and the sister we picked up from the roadside is actually a master of witchcraft with mystical lineage.

And I, an ordinary eighteen-year-old male high school student, the only biological son of my parents, has no special bloodline, and has been a “normal person” since birth

The reason why I can know everyone’s secrets is because-

I transmigrated.

I was originally an ordinary person on the edge of the class, classmates couldn’t even remember my name occasionally. I refused all social activities that might attract attention, and kept to myself at school.

For some reason, I offended the tough guys in school, and they began to target me openly and secretly, but I never fought back.

Everyone thought I was timid and cowardly, and I never explained.

Because I just wanted to be an ordinary person.

Until one day, I intervened to save a classmate who was being bullied. I accidentally exerted too much force, causing multiple serious injuries. As they lay on the ground unable to get up, I personally took them to the hospital.

Since then, whenever the tough guys who call themselves the school bullies see me, they can’t help but feel weak in the knees—

Yes, as one of the members of this special family, I also have a little secret:

Before transmigrating, I cultivated for a hundred years, with profound cultivation, just a half step away from ascension.

In short, invincible.

The classmate I saved recently has been looking at me strangely.

One day, he found me, his beautiful almond-shaped eyes turning, and he stared at me and said:

“I know your secret.”

I immediately covered his mouth, pushed him into the corner, avoiding the sight of others, and calmly questioned him: “What do you know?”

He’s the antagonist of this book. Although it will be another ten years before he turns dark, if he finds out that this world is a book, many things will go awry

I don’t want to get involved in any trouble, so I must not let him discover me—

“You like me.”

Transmigrated.

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.”

Consort Yi, who was breathtakingly beautiful and the most doted on in the imperial harem, had a nightmare about the future. ... more>>

The crown prince was deposed. The fourth prince ascended the throne. Her sworn enemy, Consort De, became the empress dowager. Her son, the fifth prince, was not allowed to have an important position. The ninth prince died while he was imprisoned. The eleventh prince died of an illness during infancy. Although Kangxi spoiled her with sweet words of love, he took in many women in his later years and cast her aside.

Kangxi urged the new emperor that if Consort Yi was domineering and disrespectful after he passed away, then the new emperor did not need to take his feelings into consideration.

In the end, she died in desolation.

After awaking from her dream –

Consort Yi: We are not going to bother.

Whoever wants to be the favoured consort can go ahead and be the favoured consort!

The emperor didn’t say anything, but knew deep down that out of all those in the imperial harem, only Consort Yi had his heart.

She was beautiful, considerate, thoughtful, and knew how to handle various situations. Once in a while, she had a bit of a temper.

But suddenly, one day, Consort Yi went on strike. In order to refuse his favour, she did everything she possibly could.

Yun Xiu: I am jealous and malicious…
