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…

——————

Next door.

Fu Chengque looked at her golden finger and felt extremely puffed up! She wrote hastily: “I, the future empress, the superhuman, the destined deity Fu Chengque, am recruiting talents! Help friends regardless of reason, sign up quickly!”

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

【Make Wen Yu say “But I like it.”】

【Have a candlelight dinner with Wen Yu.】

【Whisper to Wen Yu for ten minutes.】

…

She’s just a girl, not a lover. How could she possibly complete them!

What’s absurd is that, although things didn’t go as expected, she still completed them all!

"Become the third wife of the Northern Duke."... more>>

Elia, the illegitimate child of Viscount Arnes, was used by her family until the very end.

A duke burdened with a curse-like trust, such was his third wife. The viscount pushed Elia into that position and pocketed a hefty dowry.

So it went for 16 years. Their marriage was as cold as the freezing winds of the North. The couple, who had turned away from each other, only came together just before the collapse of the North.

"...This is the first time. Holding you like this."

Her husband, who turned out to be affectionate and steadfast, even the child who always followed her, longed for his mother's touch.

Elia closes her eyes in realization, too late.

And as if a gift from the gods, she goes back 16 years.

Elia resolves.
In this lifetime, she will protect her loved ones and the North.
With nothing but her own abilities!

***

Thud, thud, thud.

As a vivid blue light pours from her eyes, warm rain drenches the earth.

Filling the mana lost due to her step-sister's scheme,
Elia begins to control the power to change the weather.

Starting another life in the North with enthusiasm,
she thought all that remained was to save the North and be happy with her husband and son...

"Enough."
"Don't talk to me!"
"I don't want to."

Soft pink curls and puffed-up cheeks like cotton candy.
Her son may be cheeky... but cute? <<less

The Ye family was annihilated because of a Hunyuan Pearl, and their young patriarch Ye Qian struggled with all his might but died in the end. When he woke up again, his soul had returned to a thousand years ago, and that Hunyuan Pearl was suspended within his dantian.... more>>

As the saying goes: Primordial (Hunyuan) gives birth to chaos, the universe transforms into dust. Threads of light pierce through falsehoods, wind and thunder determine one’s destiny.

Ye Qian used this divine object to cultivate against the heavens.

As for the CP…
In the previous life: the young patriarch of the Ye family and his giant puppet
In this life: the reborn version of Ye Shu, the young patriarch, and Yan Changlan, a living person who hasn’t been turned into a puppet yet.

[Author’s notes]:
1. A long cultivation novel, following the path of mortal cultivation.
2. A one-on-one relationship throughout, with no tragic ending and mutual pampering. Essentially, it’s a dual protagonist story.
3. The world’s setting follows the law of the jungle.
4. Let’s have peaceful discussions and avoid quarrels. We’re all reasonable people here! <<less

061: Hello, here’s a brief rundown on the scum gong reconditioning system. This system measures the regret level of the scum gong. Every time their regret level reaches one hundred points, you will be able to leave the current world. A friendly tip, usually, through dedication and self-sacrifice, our employees slowly foster a sense of dependency in the scum gongs, gradually making it so the scum gongs can’t live without them.

What was even more shocking than how Li Wei won the world’s highest prize in theoretical physics at such a young age of 35 years old was the fact that he was found dead at home due to committing su*cide the day before the award ceremony.... more>>

In his letter to his student Jackie, he wrote: I have only been doing one thing crazily all these years, and physics is all I have. On the day it ends, the darkness will completely engulf me.

Many years after graduation, Zhang Man saw a love letter in her physics book while sorting her things out. It was signed by Li Wei. After his su*cide, she couldn’t eat or sleep at night, until one day she woke up and found herself back at the age of sixteen.

–Later, Li Wei, who became a leader in the world of physics again, said in an interview with global media, “I survived because of two essential things in my life: physics and her. Physics gave me the ability to think rationally in the darkness, and she gave me my light.” <<less

In the novel, apart from a protagonist who occupies all the heavenly fortune, the essential was the powerful tragic villains. They were either amazing or powerful, but due to the crazy obsession with the protagonist, they became paranoid and insane, and finally became the villain that everyone hated.... more>>

The authors abused their bodies and their hearts. There was no place to take root and no place to be buried. In the end, they became bitter in life. They did not see the light of day, they were not loved, and they did not know any sweetness. The world hated them, shunned them, and showed them no kindness.

The readers cried a lot and begged the author to give them a good ending and not abuse them. But the unscrupulous authors said: villains, of course, the more miserable the better, the more bitter the better, the more ruthless the better. It is better to break an arm and a leg.

#The worse the readers cry, the happier I am#

However, perhaps because the readers’ resentment was too great, one day these unscrupulous authors suddenly found themselves bound to a system.

System: Please save them.

Authors: Who?

System: Your villains.

Authors: What?!

System pulled things out of his pocket: Come on, this disfigured villain is yours, this villain with a broken leg is yours, and this crazy villain is being criticized…

Authors knelt down and spat out their old blood: Please let me go! <<less

Shao Cixin liked Wen Yu, and she was very good to her. She reached for the stars and held the moon in her hands, showing her sincerity.... more>>

But Wen Yu’s pursuit of Shao Cixin was not as sincere. She just wanted to use Shao Cixin to get back at her ex-girlfriend. While Shao Cixin was worthless in Wen Yu’s eyes, the two still became each other’s wives after a business marriage.

It wasn’t until Shao Cixin’s death when Wen Yu finally realized that Shao Cixin was the person who loved her most in the world.

She deeply regretted her actions. If she could start her life over again, she would never let Shao Cixin down again!

As a result, Wen Yu was really reborn. She swore that, this time, she wouldn’t fail to hold onto Shao Cixin.

But she didn’t get to enjoy her new life for long before she saw Shao Cixin holding her sister Wen Zhihan’s arm with a smile on her face.

Then Wen Zhihan said, “Come say hello, this is your sister-in-law.”

Wen Yu: ?

...

Shao Cixin met someone who was not a good person.

After marrying her heartthrob of many years, Shao Cixin realized that this person did not love her at all, and in fact even kept contact with their ex-girlfriend after marriage.

Shao Cixin was devastated and embarrassed. She realized that all her true feelings had been fed to a scum. After a sudden accident, she died unexpectedly.

Then…she was reborn.

After being reborn, Shao Cixin swore that she would never walk the same path as she did in her past life.

Wen Yu?

Get lost, scum woman!

Marriage?

Wouldn’t a gentle and pure beauty like Wen Zhihan be more suitable?

However, after getting along with Wen Zhihan and living together, Shao Cixin discovered—

Wen Zhihan’s character is not as gentle and pure as she thought!!

Translator’s Notes:

- the endgame is Shao Cixin (MC) x Wen Zhihan (FL)

The entire high society circle was shocked!

After receiving his acceptance letter, the Gu family searched for Gu Ye for three days, and finally found him under an unassuming overpass. The Gu Ye who used to remain silent after being beaten had laid out a stall, stepping on a few hoodlums beneath his foot, and was selling drawings while he called out: “Exorcism Wards!

When the Film Empress Jing Xiu’s wedding was in progress, Weibo was swept away by a local bombarding news — “The New Film Empress Ji Youyan Passed Away From Alcoholism”.... more>>

Soon after, another headline broke out——the wedding was cancelled for some reason.

Ji Youyan woke up from her sleep and was shocked to realize that she had returned three years before those events.

There once existed an honorable founder of this panguan school of cultivation. His reputation was illustrious, but nowadays nobody dared to mention him. Even if they did, all they said was, “He met a miserable end.”... more>>

Only Wen Shi still abided by the rules. Every day, he would pay respects to the founder’s ferocious, colorful portrait, but because of that he ended up summoning a sickly tenant.

One day, a dragon egg waiting to recognise the ‘Chosen One’ as its Master through a blood rite suddenly hatched prematurely beside the ‘Villain’.

After seeing the strange and dangerous outside world, the weak and pitiful Chen Xing only wanted to hide.

But the man she was connected to by destiny was truly fearful – he even loved to seek places of danger.

Sob, she’s still a dragon baby, so why is her life so tough?

Everyone: You are a majestic Silver Dragon!

Chen Xing: But what does that have to do with me being weak, cowardly, and afraid of death?

Qin Ji never thought that in his past life, he’d die with a dragon and, in this life, be reborn with her too.

But looking at this gluttonous and lazy dragon who loved luxury and pleasure, he’d often wonder whether it was his memory or the world he was reborn in that was wrong. <<less

Her family, country, and even herself were taken away by the one she loved, and she was killed in solitude.

“Marry me.”

So, this time, I chose his younger brother, the 2nd Prince .

“If you hold my hand, I will restore everything Your Highness lost.”

At first it was just a contract.
But why...

Khalid rested his cheek on Velia's hand.
His voice scratched his neck and became sharp.

"Don't even think about leaving me, Velia."

His blue eyes grew darker and darker with obsession.

The second prince who is crazy about me, who is only in a contractual relationship, begins to crave affection.
Clearly there was no sincerity in our contract.

Tang Zhou dreamed that he was cannon fodder in a novel.... more>>

Because of prejudice, he misunderstood and hurt the villain, and later was framed by his illegitimate younger brother and became impoverished.

After waking up from his dream, he looked at the innocent and harmless young villain in front of him and decided to change his own ending.

Fu Shen knew about his background long ago and had been plotting for many years for this reason.

He agreed to Tang Zhou’s harsh demands, pretended to be harmless, and kept a low profile.

His original plan was to turn around and leave naturally after the deed was done.

Peeled off the coat of indifference, there was actually a piece of small sugar cake inside.

Bei Nuan: “…”

The male protagonist, Lu Xingchi, had a bug-level existence and easily crushed everything, but one small detail left his team being wiped out.

The first thing he did after he was reborn was to plan on throwing that holy mother white lotus into a pile of zombies.

But, as the days dragged on, he found it harder and harder to do so.

***

System: New task unlocked: Within the next 24 hours, acting like a holy mother in front of the male lead will not give you any Holy Mother points. Acting like a holy mother in front of Male B, Male C, and Male D will get you double Holy Mother points.

Bei Nuan: There was such a good thing?

Lu Xingchi discovered that that girl, who had solemnly vowed yesterday, “I’ll follow you every step of the way. Every second that I’m separated from you is a waste of my life,” had disappeared. <<less

Guo Jingyu’s forehead was damp with sweat.

He saw the figure seated in front of him as soon as he glanced up. His back was as straight as it had always been, his white shirt school uniform had a mild soap scent, and his hair was neatly parted. He was accompanied by the steady rustle of a pen.
