When Fu Nian first met Chu Zhaoyi, the late emperor was still alive, and Chu Zhaoyi was still a Wangye.... more>>

But at their first meeting, Fu Nian experienced the ferocity of this future ruler.

A cacophony rang in his mind, and as the metallic tang of blood flowed along his numbed skin, Fu Nian heard that devilish voice tell him,

“Thunder and rain, all are the grace of a ruler. Just a bit of thunder, and you’re reduced to such a state.”

Later, he would hear these words again, but it would be a long time later.

“Thunder and rain, all are the grace of a ruler,” Chu Zhaoyi pronounced deliberately by Fu Nian’s ear.

With the remnants of his strength, Fu Nian struggled to suppress a sob, “Your Majesty, such thunder and rain, this humble subject… truly doesn’t deserve.”

[Opening in November]
Fu Nian’s first life ended due to poison.

Sensing his impending fate, he believed that the heart-connecting gu inside him was planted by a pitiable scapegoat, ordered by the ruler. Not wanting to implicate innocent people, he forcefully removed the gu from his heart, gasping his last breath only after handing it to the Imperial Guards.

After death, Fu Nian realized that the one who had planted the heart-connecting gu wasn’t anyone else, but Chu Zhaoyi, the one above ten thousand others. He thought of Chu Zhaoyi as heartless and merciless, someone who didn’t trust him, let alone love him.

Only in death did Fu Nian know that his master, who had plucked him from the pile of corpses and nurtured him, didn’t treat him as a disposable pawn, but genuinely cared for him. After Fu Nian’s death, his master went madly searching for medicine, going so far as to use living people as ingredients, all to save Fu Nian’s life.

His Senior Brother, too, surprised him. Fu Nian had thought that their last meeting before parting ways was the night his Senior Brother gifted him a sword.

Little did he expect that the one keeping their childhood sword manuals was his Senior Brother, and the one keeping the birthday gift he sent was also his Senior Brother. And after his death… it was his Senior Brother who clung to the jar containing the heart-connecting gu that he had dug out, crying uncontrollably.

But what surprised Fu Nian the most was Chu Zhaoyi.

He never thought that Chu Zhaoyi, whom he believed never truly loved him.

Would, after his death, hold onto his already stiffened body, gently place the phoenix crown and red wedding robes he never dared dream of onto him, kiss him devoutly over and over again, and even, like they did in their lifetime, sleep side by side through the night.

Awakening from a deep slumber, Fu Nian discovers a chance to rectify all the regrets of his previous life.

Everything is still within reach.

[Warning: Protagonist with prosthetic limbs!!! Warning: Offspring anticipated!!!]
The cover features Fu Nian’s character design.

With a cold exterior but a warm heart, a ruthless monarch finds himself entangled with a stunningly beautiful and seemingly insane individual who is devoted and submissive to only one person, while showing no mercy as the commander of a ruthless group of shadow guards.

The timeline progresses linearly, with no time-traveling involved; the protagonist’s body remains his own throughout. <<less

I’ve had enough of being transmigrated into books.... more>>

You would be tired of it too, especially if it was already your fourth time doing it. This time, I became the female lead’s villainous older sister.

‘Oh, I’m so sick of this.’

Yet again, I was sure this life wouldn’t be exciting either. I had led straightforward lives before, and then I died and moved on to the next.

But why was it that this iteration was a tad different?

‘Why can I use the abilities I had in my second transmigration?’

‘Why is the female lead bothering me so much?’

Alicia, this novel’s protagonist, was fated to have a poor, emaciated life. However, considering that she was this novel’s true heroine, I couldn’t just let her roll through the mud like this. I would do everything in my power to change her fate.

‘My younger sister, don’t become the female lead this time.’

To achieve my goal through a project hereby dubbed as the [Mob-Alicia Project], I’ve recruited the male lead’s older brother.

Cassion Carter.

He was the villain who was almost killed—no, was fated to be killed—by the male lead.

“If you want to live, promise me one thing.”

As if he was a wild beast that had been hunted and left to die alone, he breathed with incredible difficulty. I reached toward the poor man’s face and caressed his cheek, leaning down to whisper softly.

“If I save you…”

Lay down your own life on the line to protect my sister. <<less

The demon lord Yin Ci had lived for several hundred years and was thoroughly tired of life. He planned to go to the legendary ghost tomb to find the Vision Flesh and turn it into a deadly poison to kill himself. In order to act low-key, he captured a rookie master as a cover.... more>>

As a rare genius who only appeared once in a century, Shi Jingzhi’s life was not long. He also wanted to go to the ghost tomb to find the Vision Flesh and make a divine medicine to live a little longer. In order to smoothly enter the tomb, he took on an innocent disciple to go along as a smokescreen.

The two competitors faced each other, feeling very pleased in their hearts: not bad, they had successfully deceived the other person. <<less

Popular idol Mu Xingyu suddenly left the drama crew and terminated his contract with the management company. Haters said, “He was abandoned by his sponsor.” But not long after, diligent netizens discovered that Mu Xingyu is the only son of a real estate tycoon. This left the haters dumbfounded.... more>>

Later, Mu Xingyu got high-end endors**ents and appeared in a big-budget film and television series. Everyone thought he relied on his father, but the investment actually came from the Gu Group. Rumor has it that the head of the Gu family, Gu Yunzhou, has a disability and is known for being cold and ruthless, a true ice-cold tyrant.

Mu Xingyu wasn’t happy with this perception and posted on Weibo, “This is my husband. He has a gentle personality and good health!”

In the previous life, Mu Xingyu mistakenly trusted a scumbag and caused Gu Yunzhou’s death, with Gu Yunzhou even begging for the scumbag’s mercy before his death. Given a second chance, Mu Xingyu decisively married Gu Yunzhou and, using his skills, woke him up.

Gu Yunzhou had been in a coma for over a year due to a car accident. He didn’t expect to wake up married to his love. He was happy inside but had to maintain a serious demeanor. Stars who are not focused on the entertainment industry can only be conquered by a gentle tycoon. <<less

[Welcome to 『The Opponent of the Dragon』.]
“Oh my, the book talks!”... more>>

[I am a guide for travelers who have transmigrated into the novel.]
I possessed the body of Tiarozety Isol, a supporting character in 『The Opponent of the Dragon.』

The book will send me back to my world as soon as I complete the ending of the male lead, Lexion.

The problem is, I’ve never read this book before.

Besides…

[If the development of the story deviates from the original, the traveler gets a penalty right away.]
“Penalty?”

[Yes. The penalty is that the novel proceeds in the direction the traveler doesn’t want the most.]
“Oh my god.”

I was able to play the role of Tiarozety firmly. But then, I suddenly fell in love with the male lead, Lexion Sparrow.

“I’ll miss you.”

I was able to complete the ending by dying for him.

However- There was a problem with the ending. Thus, I returned to the beginning of the novel again. Somehow, I was sent back again inside the novel on my way home.

And-

“Titi, choose me. Not this damn fate.”

“………”

“Choose me, even if the path is rough. Because I’m ready for anything.”

And that’s how… Lexion, the male lead, began to cling onto me. <<less

On one spring evening when I was eight years old, I, Erica, Duke of Aurelia’s daughter, realized something.... more>>

Huh, I have reincarnated into a fantasy world, haven’t I?

Moreover, it was the romance-fantasy girl game that had the reputation of being bloody, 『Liber Monstrorum ~Phantom Beasts and the Winter Princess~』

The face reflected in the mirror was that of the villainess character of that game.

After repeatedly harassing many characters, including the heroine, she would die without exception, signaling the beginning of an event called the bizarre incident. She was a villain who deserved to get the consequences!

—I absolutely don’t want a destiny like that, though?

No, since I have remembered the memory of my previous life, I will make sure that kind of thing does not happen.

In my previous life, I was harassed immensely by an irrationally angry yandere man who thought I was in love with him.

My cause of death, too, was from being stabbed by another yandere man who I only had talked with a few times…

Now that I have become the haughty villainess Erica, I shouldn’t encounter more misunderstandings like with the previous life’s yandere men anymore, right…?

In that case, it will be fine as long as I deal with the death flags that I may have raised myself.

All right! First of all, before the bizarre incident begins at the Magic Academy, I will strike down the death flags accordingly!!

—Or so I thought, but it seems that I am about to die.

Eeh, how did this happen—!? <<less

“Listen to me. I’m the only one you can count on.”... more>>

“…….”

“I’m the only one for you.”

“…….”

“Only me.”

What an abominable delusion.

* * *

For more than 10 years, my body was possessed by someone else. It would have been nice of ‘that person’ if she used my body and returned it in a good condition, but not only did she get married with my own body, she’s also clinging to her husband like a stalker..?!

“First, let’s get divorced.”

I tried to start a new life by dumping my husband, who has been treating me like tr*sh, and my family who treated me like dirt.

But.

“Leaving? You will leave me?”

My husband who doesn’t believe me.

“Why are you taking his side, sister?”

A younger brother who’s suddenly jealous.

“Stay in this house. You can’t go anywhere.”

Even my father who hated me all along is suddenly obsessed? What’s wrong with them all of a sudden? <<less

The Duke's lost daughter has returned.... more>>

The birth of a child living with poor treatment in a nursery school was discovered belatedly.

Everyone embraced her and greeted her with open arms.

But I, the person in charge, wasn't happy at all.

Because this place wasn't mine.

* * *

Be me and... Live up to my part."

My friend who died after leaving those words was the princess of the nursery school where I live.

However, the fragile child was unable to survive the winter, when the cold wave was extremely harsh.

On the verge of death, what she told me was the secret of her birth.

I went to a man with her belongings.

The father of my friend, and the only duke in this country, who lost his daughter.

“I am the daughter of the Duke.”

For the first time, I spoke a lie I had never said before.

It didn't matter even if the truth was revealed, and she was denounced as a villain.

I wish I could give her everything she wanted. <<less

A fake relationship with my favorite idol!?... more>>

Akira Sezai, the perfect idol.

She was my last hope, given that all the idols I admired were gradually stepping away due to issues ranging from revelations about boyfriends to allegations of harassment.

I told myself that she's the final idol I'll be supporting.

Suffering from gynophobia, getting physically close to a woman would make me ill. But I mustered up the courage to attend Akira's handshake event.

Despite my nervousness and stammering, something unusual happened that night—Akira, for some reason, barged into my house.

“Will you be my boyfriend?”

With her words, my everyday life dramatically changed. Her off-stage persona, which I had never witnessed before, gradually revealed itself to me.

However, she had a purpose other than just becoming lovers.

Just by spending time with the idol I merely admired, I found myself gazing at her dazzling brilliance and the abyss that lay beneath her.

I’m afraid of women, but at the same time, I yearn for them. And while shining as an idol, Akira seems to be heading for destruction.

What lies ahead of us as we pretend to be lovers? <<less

After she’d threatened the male lead’s father into marriage, I possessed the villainess Evelia. In the original, she was kicked out after bullying the young male lead.... more>>

“Let’s break up.”

“…What are you saying?”

“The Duke doesn’t like me either, so I don’t want this marriage.”

I didn’t want to get caught up in the original story so I asked the male lead’s father for a divorce. Except…

“Once we got engaged, you became mine. I won’t break off this marriage.” The man who was supposed to despise me refuses.

“Are you sure you can’t be Ruth's mom? Is it because you don’t like Ruth?” Even the original male lead cried and begged me to be his mother.

Why the hell is everyone acting like this? <<less

By some freak coincidence, Song Ci mistakenly consumed the blood of the Demon King, causing himself to become a demon too. A weak scholar…… forced to suffer in silence.... more>>

What was even more tragic was that no matter where he went, demons would attack him from all directions braying for his blood, or they would squeeze his neck while interrogating him about his relationship with the Demon King.

As such, Song Ci became an anti-fan of the Demon King. Regardless of who praised the Demon King, he would be the first to stand out and refute them.

Song Ci fled for his life as he searched for the gate leading to the Demon Realm. Along the way, he clung on to the thigh of an influential man, and went to great pains to persuade him to slay the Demon King together with him and restore peace to the human world.

Song Ci, “Sooner or later, I will skin the Demon King, rip the tendons off him, and drink his blood!”

Rong Bai (smiling), “I admire the way you think.”

Who knew that, after entering the demon realm —

Tens of thousands of monsters bowed their heads and kowtowed to this thigh beside him and shouted “Long live the Demon King!”

Song Ci was stunned.

Rong Bai (smiling), “What did you say you were going to do when you came to the Demon Realm?”

Song Ci, “It, it’s all a misunderstanding……” <<less

I am a knight. To be precise, I am the Church of the God of Light’s Sun Knight.... more>>

The Church of the God of Light worships and serves the God of Light, and theirs’ one of the three largest religions on this continent.

As the whole continent knows, the Church of the God of Light has the Twelve Holy Knights, and each one has his own unique personality and features.

To be the Sun Knight is to have shining golden hair, sky blue eyes, a compassionate nature, and a brilliant smile.

“The benevolent God of Light will forgive your sins.”

I must have said that line at least a million times in my time as the Sun Knight.

However, the greatest wish in my life is to be able to stand before the entire continent and roar, “Damn your ‘the whole continent knows’! This Sun Knight just doesn’t feel like smiling! I just don’t want to forgive these human tr*shes! I just want to pepper my sentences with ‘f***’!”

Unfortunately, even to this day, I continue to wear a smile as I say, “The benevolent God of Light will forgive your sins.” <<less

Mu Ci, the seventh prince of the Yi Dynasty, was framed by a scoundrel and forced to commit su*cide by jumping into a well. He thought his young and beautiful life was over. However, when he opened his eyes, he found himself in the backyard of a wealthy CEO's mansion.... more>>

Master Gu explained with a tangled expression on his face, "Time travel, do you understand? It means you've traveled from your dynasty to the 21st century."

Mu Ci was confused and asked, "...like the story of Peach Blossom Spring?"

Gu Huai covered his face and said, "Almost... Anyway, don't worry, I will take care of you. From now on, you can eat ice cream and watch TV as much as you like."

Mu Ci was relieved, thinking he was holding onto a powerful and amazing thighs, and the rest of his life would be carefree. However, he didn't expect that this CEO would develop an interest in him and attempt to force him into a marriage contract by using his compromising sleeping photos!

Mu Ci was shocked, "Wait, can two men get married?"

Gu Huai was greedy: "Actually, I still want to have a child with you."

Mu Ci was shocked, "I am so ignorant that I don't even know that humans have evolved to the point where men can have children in the 21st century."

Gu Huai corrected himself, "I meant adopt, adopt! A family of three is the most stable. Once we have a child, you won't run away again!" <<less

Su Mo Li is reborn and seven years later is taken back to the Prime Minister’s residence and betrothed to the second prince as a side consort.... more>>

However, the second prince didn’t like the delicate little white lotus and only loved the flashy red peony.

As a result, Su Mo Li is divorced from the marriage.
Outsiders mocked and relatives insulted.

One day at the banquet, the delicate white lotus, with red eyes dripping with tears, threw herself into the arms of the Crown Prince.

The crowd s**ked in a breath, who did not know that the Crown Prince hates crying women!

And it was the abandoned woman of his rival, the Second Prince!

The Crown Prince, who was not close to women, felt the softness in his arms, and his face suddenly became as cold as ice.

The crowd trembled: the Crown Prince was going to be angry!

All of the ladies are gloating: Su Mo Li is finished!

But then the Prince asked in a low voice, “Who bullied you? Do you want to tear him apart or kill his whole family? It’s all up to you ……” <<less

Fang Li transmigrated into the cannon fodder gong demon lord of a dogblood novel. The demon lord’s cultivation was outstanding, his power shaking the heavens. He stirred up wind and rain and rampaged across the cultivation world……. Towards the captivating main character shou, he fell in love at first sight and seized him, contributing many forceful love scenes that made one’s face and ears red.... more>>

Fang Li: I might not be able to do it.

System: ……

As soon as he went out the door, Fang Li saw the dark mass of demonic cultivators tightly encircling the faintly distant cultivation sect so that not a drop of water could escape. The head of the Yunjian-que sect disciples stood alone facing the wind, sharp sword pointed in his direction.

Fang Li looked at the cold and peerless man, gazed at his white clothes and long sword soaked in blood, and pondered for a minute…… He suddenly felt like it wasn’t impossible.

On this day, the cultivation world’s number one son of heaven, Yunjian-que’s Yuyi-jun, for the sake of protecting the disciples behind him, had no choice but to submit to the cruel, cold-blooded demon lord. Just thinking that this unparalleled genius would be tormented and humiliated by that devil in a hundred ways, the whole cultivation world sighed and wrung their hands, sobbing ceaselessly.

Fang Li brought the beauty home. Although he didn’t want to force a straight man, just going through the motions wasn’t a problem. While putting on a show of “forcible love,” Fang Li considerately went about creating opportunities for the main character shou’s admirers, helping them develop some romance……

On the day that the Immortal Alliance attacked Fuqiu Mountain, Fang Li completed the plot and successfully escaped with his death.

When he was reborn, it was already nine years later. Just when he was about to start living properly in this world with a whole new identity using his experience as a demon lord, he ran into the current number one under the heavens, the main character shou.

The cold man grabbed his wrist, a wisp of vague madness in the depth of his eyes, his voice low and hoarse: Where does Your Excellency want to run to this time?

Fang Li: …… What on earth is wrong with this script? <<less

With one sentence from Qu Chenzhou, he killed Prince Liu’s family.... more>>

The reason was that he was the sword in the hands of the emperor, and the Prince was a thorn in the emperor’s eyes.

But the words were what Qu Chenzhou said himself.

After the Prince defected, he vowed that one day he would surely throw away his bones as ashes,

And for this word, he waited for the Prince in the capital for many years.

Until he died.

He confessed that he was sinful, and he didn’t ask the Prince to understand his secret help over the years,

He just wanted to pay off his sinful debt.

So in front of Prince Liu, he died in the most tragic manner.

But he didn’t see the Prince holding his body in pain, almost in madness.

“——Qu Chenzhou, how dare you lie to me!”

Qu Chenzhou died, and all parties clapped and cheered.

The Third Prince, Zong Luo, and the King of Beining, Yu Beizhou, have been at odds with each other.... more>>

Water and fire were never compatible. Their tit-for-tat confrontation was exhaustible.

Unfortunately, things went awry. After an imperial edict came, Zong Luo laughed facing the heavens. His ink hair was scattered, and he closed his eyes and committed su*cide under the city gate.

However, he woke up again.

Following that, he became entwined with Yu Beizhou once more, till death eventually came upon him.

His enemy’s face was stunning, flamboyant, and sinful. Only after staring at him did he only notice a little bit of light floating within his unfathomable eyes.

“Senior martial brother,” Yu Beizhou said in a low voice, grasped his sword in hand, and touched his eyebrows intimately, “We meet again.”

…….

That night, Zong Luo had a dream.

He dreamed that after his death, the man sewed up his uncollected body, and kept it in an ice coffin for nine years.

Glory, wealth, and world domination that will last for thousands of generations- Zong Luo didn’t want it, but Yu Beizhou got it all.

However, no one knows that after going to court every day, after the tyrant dismissed the palace servants, he would walk into the cold bed chamber alone.

“Senior martial brother, it’s already nine years.” Yet it’s still so cold no matter how warm it is.

“I hate you so much.” He held the body in his arms and muttered to himself.

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.
