"It's like a living sacrifice,"

Her gaze met eyes resembling a brilliant dawn.

A man with a face and voice as if created by God approached and spoke.

"It's clearly a violation of imperial law."

The crimson moon eyes that seemed poised to devour her.

A distorted moonlight.

That gaze was etched like a scar into her. So much so, to an unforgettable degree.

However, ever since she met that man, someone keeps appearing in her dreams.

A strangely tender and longed-for figure.

* * *

A single blue butterfly, scattering light like a fantasy, whispered a tale from the distant memories.

‘Do you know, Ren? They say a person who sacrifices themselves for the world is called a hero.’

A voice as familiar as it was strange, resembling the depths of the night sea.

‘But wouldn't it be better to sacrifice the world itself, than sacrifice yourself for the sake of this insignificant world?’

The person who kissed her gently and cautiously with eyes full of sorrow, Radiating like the sun, the one who made her give her all.

As ephemeral and beautiful as a midsummer night's dream...

The intense, passionate, and sparkling moment vividly came to mind. <<less

On her wedding day, she was humiliated; her status as the legitimate wife was instantly changed into that of a concubine.... more>>

“Who*e! Marrying you is my life’s shame!” These were the hurtful words that came from her childhood sweetheart, now husband.

….

Jiejie, jiejie, thank you for your sacrifice. Jiejie, if you’re kind then go. Meimei will replace you and take good care of your husband, to help you enjoy the blessings that you are unable to enjoy!” these words spat out by her smiling cousin made her whole body feel cold.

….

“You are shameless! There is no need to say anything! From now on, our Shen family will not have you as our daughter! Someone! Throw out this shameless woman!” These were her relatives?

…

Becoming the target of criticisms, and being submerged in a small lake, she realized that all of this was the result of another person’s scheme – but it was already too late!

…

Instead of dying, she went back to the past, back to where both feelings were still alive and were loving towards each other; back to when she was not yet an orphan but the doted on Di daughter of the Shen family.

No matter what, in this life, she would never allow anyone to hurt the people she loved. And those people who harmed her in the previous life, she would make them pay the price! <<less

"You're supposed to love me, it's our destiny...!... more>>

But why..."

Aveline and Kazel were destined lovers, brought together by the gods.

Therefore, Aveline loved Kazel.

And Kazel, too, had to love Aveline...

"Could it be that you love that woman?"

"And if I do?"

"...What?"

He defied his fate, and he fell in love with another woman.

Chlone, if only she could break that woman's delicate neck...

But Aveline couldn't lay a finger on her.

"It means the destined lovers in the prophecy are the Duke and Lady Chlone."

Even the fate that barely tied them together wasn't on her side.

*

"I wish I were the woman you loved."

"Are you still talking about that?"

Kazel cut her off, finding it tiresome.

The man's face, stripped even of obligatory kindness, turned as cold as a grim reaper.

"Okay. I guess I should stop dreaming in vain now.”

"What...?"

"I lost, Kazel."

Aveline forced a smile.

"I'll send you to her."

The stage, where God had been mocking the foolishness of humans, was completely drawn to a close.

Now was the time for her to exit. <<less

He got a beautiful toy to play with during the boring summer.... more>>

That summer was the hottest since the young Emperor Iskandar ascended the throne.

The servants of the summer palace were frightened to serve him as he had his first summer vacation as an emperor.

A new toy came into his eyes.

It was around the time when he got tired of hunting in the summer forest and even luxurious entertainment.

Senita.

It's like a sordid maid with charcoal black on her apron.

She was a bold woman who dared not avoid the emperor's gaze.

She talks about old memories with distant eyes and was also a dreamer who gave great meaning to trivial things.

So it was good. She looked interesting.

He thought it would be okay to play with that poor woman throughout this hot and boring summer.

Because he wanted to, Iskandar did so.

Everything was so easy. Because he was a man of great ability to screw up. <<less

According to popular legend, the war god of Da Liang Huo Wujiu was once captured by the enemy country. His meridians were severed and both his legs broken before he was thrown into prison. In order to humiliate him, that dissolute ruler even gifted him to his cutsleeve brother as a concubine.... more>>

General Huo suffered a great deal of humiliation and insult. He bided his time for three years before the cicada shed his skin and he escaped back to Da Jing.

Since then, the world has been united.

——

Jiang Suizhou, a history department graduate advisor at a certain university, received a dissertation which used these unofficial histories of Huo Wujiu as their basis, and criticized the student to no end.

When he opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated into that cutsleeve prince from the stories.

There were lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere. A servant came, sending word that the disabled general of the enemy state had already entered the prince's manor in his wedding sedan.

Facing down General Huo, who had been tortured to the verge of death, dressed in red wedding clothes, glaring balefully, Jiang Suizhou only then knew - these wild stories could also come true.

And cause him to be beheaded for public display, his head hung on the city walls for three years.

Jiang Suizhou’s only option was to provide for General Huo well.

The overt and covert attacks of the imperial court, the witless ruler's every possible humiliations -- he grit his teeth and absorbed it all, all in the hopes that in three years time, he could but keep this head of his.

Of course, he didn’t dare to even dream of asking this 9 ci* tall “concubine” to actually serve him.

However, before the three years was up, General Huo’s legs actually healed on their own.

Not only did he slaughter the useless ruler and unified the country, but he also forcefully blocked him in the room and insisted on fulfilling his duty as "concubine."

For an ordinary working woman to transmigrate into the body of an official wife of a nobleman, described by the emperor as ‘peerless talent', life should be good, right?... more>>

Too bad the official wife was an eyesore to this handsome 'peerless talent' husband. Hated as a political chess piece that prevented the dear husband from taking his true sweetheart as the official wife, she was universally despised by the entire family and was tossed into a corner of the inner court to fend for herself.

If that’s not enough, this scum man also tossed a pair of unloved children born of some lowbred woman he had accidentally xxx with into her miserably poor courtyard.

Thus, she was set on a course of self-destruction…

Or so everyone thought.

Instead of self-destruction, this is the time to hone one’s self-sustaining skills!

Ding Yi: “……??!”

Don’t give the role of the female lead to me! I! Am!! Afraid!!!

The gloomy young man hugged the trembling girl. He had a wan smile and the tone of his whisper was horrifyingly tender: “Why are you running? Forming an agreement with the devil, you should know that you can’t run away no matter however many lifetimes.”

Ding Yi cried out.

A standard question and answer on internet forums, people of leisure indulge in such fantasies.

What would you do if it were genuine?

━━

I killed a human being.

Remarkably, I don’t even care.

I could never be a protagonist.

The opposite of a taker is not a taker.

It’s the giver.

That’s the protagonist.

A hero.

If I can’t be a hero.

If I can only continue to be deprived.

If I can’t be a giver.

I should at least be a “taker”ー

━━

Minase Ginji did not pray. Instead of praying, he chose to kill.

His research in graduate school was indeed epoch-making, as he was able to reconstruct the heart and the entire “circulatory system” as an artificial one.

He saved many people, was admired by many, and the world “recognized” him.

…That was supposed to happen.

His research was easily deprived of him. In the end, he was expelled from the university because “he” stole it from his “professor”. Abandoned by his parents, he found a silly thread when he was in dire need of food for tomorrow.

It was not nonsense.
But he had so much time to spare for nonsense that he was sick and tired of it.
