Ji Ling transmigrated into the world of a book and has become an 18-year-old aristocrat of the same name in the Interstellar Empire. In order to get another chance at life, he must play his role perfectly, love the Imperial Emperor without second thoughts, and act as an obstacle to the shou. He has to use his own sinister schemes to bring out the shou’s noble perfection.... more>>

He worked hard to play his character…

Towards the main lead, Imperial Emperor, love without second thoughts and sacrifice his life for him.

Towards villain number 1, Duke, repay evil with good and get his cooperation in dealing with the main shou.

Towards villain number 2, Marshal, sacrifice himself to help both of them and get his cooperation in dealing with the main shou.

Towards villain number 3, Speaker of the House, give heart and soul to help each other to get his cooperation in dealing with the main shou.

In order to deal with the main character, he used all available resources and gathered all available forces. Every time when the main shou was forced into a wall, he’d “fall short one step” and let himself be mercilessly slapped in the face. In the end, he was turned into a “victim of his own schemes”, becoming the scapegoat of the shou and dying to save the male lead.

Just when he thought he could finally leave and enjoy a good life…

The system said: The world collapsed after you died. Now sending you back to the initial point when you first transmigrated. Please do the mission again. Friendly reminder ~ both male and female villains have been reborn, please work hard and continue your efforts. The plot must be brought back on track. I have high hopes for you!

Ji Ling had to do the mission one more time, just that …

Villain Duke: How could anyone not love such a cute little thing, hiding his soft heart under a pretentious facade?

Villain Marshal: He is not as arrogant and domineering as he looks. In fact, his heart is brighter and kinder than anyone else.

Villain Speaker of the House: You are my faith, my everything. I am forever willing to stand by your feet and clear your obstacles.

Ji Ling: You all shouldn’t love me. I love His Highness. I will always only love him alone!

Male Emperor: What a coincidence, I love you too.

Ji Ling: … I have a sentence ****, and I must say it now. <<less

Edith Irene Brussels had a secret… the fact that she had experienced possession.

One day, she suddenly became Edith. Not only that, but it was in a completely different era, in a strange country she had never heard of before! Moreover, with strange abilities that others couldn’t see.

To return home, Edith chose a contract marriage with the genius wizard Duke.

“Will you marry me?”
“Yes! I’d love to!”

However,

“What’s going on? Does she really think she’s becoming the Mistress of a Duchy?”
“It’s Brussels. Has anyone heard of that family?”

Nobles ostracize those from fallen families.

“That’s even better!”

Thinking positively and walking alone, she constantly encountered troubled children behind the scenes of the social circle.

“Me too. Would you be able to come to our mansion?”

She was ranked first in the invitation list, despite being ostracized in high society.

It became him getting hugged.

The wretched little Alpha was brought home at the age of 18, equipped with top-notch clothes, food, house and transportation, and was groomed as the future heir. 6 years later, the little Alpha took over the Galaxy Group to become the highest executive, all thanks to Chu Yi Qiao.

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.”

Gu Jia Nian failed the college entrance exam and went to her grandmother’s house in the countryside for summer vacation.... more>>

She accidentally entered a villa covered in creeping plants and inhabited by a recluse known by the villagers as someone who never left their house and avoided the light.

Children even secretly called him a vampire behind his back.

As the vacation came to an end, she did two things: discussing with her parents about retaking the exam and confessing her feelings to him.

One succeeded, the other failed.

Two years later, Gu Jia Nian studied diligently in the competitive Chinese literature program at a prestigious university.

In a literature appreciation class, the professor assigned a reading list, with nearly half of it coming from a rising star novelist—who had won major literary awards with a full-length novel and a series of medium-length novels.

Gu Jia Nian sat in the library at 2 a.m., opening the preface of that full-length novel.

It began:

“Rough start, with over a dozen interruptions due to the erosion of romantic fantasies by harsh reality. Until one day, she knocked on my door, cleared the messy Chinese hawthorn outside, and handed me a box of pastries. From then on, light poured in.”

Guide for newcomers:

The male lead falls for the female lead after she comes of age.

They get together after she retakes the exam.

Six-year age gap, Student-Teacher Relationship (SC).

Told from the perspective of Chi Yan.

After deleting the twelfth draft’s beginning, someone with no sense of timing suddenly knocked on his door.

He opened it with a frown and found a shy high school girl standing outside, with big eyes, fair skin, and a box of cookies in her hands.

Due to family obligations, he reluctantly put an end to his reclusive life and started taking care of this girl who had been crushed by the pressure of the exam.

He let her read at home.

Gave her a key.

Accompanied her to doctor appointments.

Accompanied her on shopping trips.

Comforted her, encouraged her, praised her…

The girl was polite and sensible, but she never called him “brother.”

Finally, as her summer vacation came to an end and she was about to start retaking the exam, she awkwardly confessed her feelings to him.

“…”

Chi Yan glanced at her. “Let’s talk about this after you finish your exam.”

After the second year’s exam ended, Chi Yan sent her a text on WeChat, calculating the time the results would be released.

“How did it go?”

A long while later, she replied, “Well, I did great.”

Followed by another message: “Thank you, Brother Chi Yan.”

Chi Yan, brother.

Ming Huashang was the younger fraternal twin sister. Her birth symbolized auspiciousness and she lost her mother at a young age causing Duke Zhen to dote on her immensely. She was spoiled to the point where she became ignorant, incompetent, and lazy; she was the complete opposite of her elder fraternal twin brother who was renowned all throughout Chang’an. Ming Huashang originally lived a peaceful life, prepared to dilly dally and eat till she died. Until one night, she had a dream and learned that she was actually a fake daughter.... more>>

The two children were swapped at birth, and the real daughter was living among the commoners. Although she was raised in an impoverished environment, she was diligent and motivated. She became a well-known talented woman at a young age, in stark contrast to her fake.

Later, the truth was revealed. The real daughter was taken back to the duke manor causing her status as the fake daughter to plummet. In the end, she was poisoned to death, silently, in the middle of the night.

Ming Huashang, whose biggest dream was to live a long life before dying, was terrified. Seeing that there was only one year left before the return of the real daughter, Ming Huashang tucked her tail between her legs, got her act together, and tried her best to please her elder twin brother in name, Ming Huazhang.

But her aloof and excellent elder brother couldn’t be fooled. Ming Huashang failed to please her big thigh, so she gave up decisively and set her sights on her real elder brother – the top scholar Su Xingzhi, the future prime minister from humble beginnings.

An ‘unwanted child’ appeared at Gu’s household; well-behaved, good-looking, and she looked weak and easy to bully.... more>>

On the first day of her arrival, the notorious Young Master Gu knocked over the bowl she brought to him, leaving a faint red blemish on her hand.

She whimpered with tears in her eyes looking very pitiful as Gu Jing Yuan pretended to be tough and aloof.

Gu Jing Yuan skipped classes, missed examinations, and engaged in fights… He became the first person to repeat a grade in Fu Middle School. He was without scruples and no one could control him; except for Tao Yi Xi.

Her red blemished slender hand delivered a set of test papers, “Ge-ge, your homework.”

“Get lost.”

“If you don’t accept it, the teacher will scold me,” she cried. Her tears were like raindrops on a pear blossom, so pitiful.

“…” f*ck. His heart inexplicably softened.

Later on, as long as Tao Yi Xi cried, he could not help but compromise.

The impression of a weak baby chick was deeply engraved into his heart. Until one day, she took on five strong men alone. Covered in bruises and bleeding but she did not shed a single tear. She looked incredibly ferocious.

Gu Jing Yuan, “…” Did he get cheated?!

The first time they met:

She tenderly called, “Ge-ge.”

But he sneered, “I don’t have a sister.”

Who would have expected that later on, he would trap her in his arms, bite her ear, and mutter, “call me Ge-ge.”

Tao Yi Xi: Did she act so well that everything went out of her control?…

When Tao Yi Xi just arrived, he chided in disgust: “Don’t touch me!”

After that, when Tao Yi Xi wanted to leave, he hugged her tightly and begged her in a low voice, “please don’t go.”

When they met again, he had already matured into a business big shot, donned in a western suit. When he saw her, his gaze just lightly swept over her, like the past events never happened.

If he did not want to acknowledge her, then so be it!

Yet, in the middle of the night, smelling of alcohol, he pressed her against the wall, with red-rimmed eyes.

He was already burdened with a curse far more terrifying. Immortality plagued him—he wouldn't succumb to death, he wouldn't age. The unending agony relentlessly crushed his body and mind. His long future stretched out, bleak and unchanging, perhaps eternal.

On a day when the torment of his curse was particularly intense, a woman appeared in the moonlight. Despite entering through the window, she didn't strike the image of an intruder. Calmly, she aimed a dagger and declared, "Stay still, and I won't harm you."

Gart tilted his head, unthreatened, and observed her pink eyes shimmering even in the darkness. "Your eyes are quite beautiful," he remarked, disregarding the warning as he moved closer.

"If you approach any further, I will truly kill you."

Gart peered into her eyes.
