Failed the college entrance exam. Crushed. Dream, gone.... more>>

“If only I could become a girl…”

A random thought Su Yun muttered before bed actually… came true.

White hair, red eyes, standing at 160 cm tall. A face so cute it practically sparkled with moisture, and skin so pale it looked like it didn’t belong in this world.

“Isn’t this basically a vampire? A beautiful vampire girl, at that.”

…

“Siatet Xiaoyun, my house is pretty big. Come home with me… and drink my blood~”

On the empty school field, a tall, stunning beauty—recognized by everyone as the school’s number one campus belle—was clinging tightly to Su Yun’s arm, refusing to let go.

But she’s the real vampire here.

So why isn’t she afraid of me?

Ah—don’t touch me there! <<less

On her 20th birthday, Lin Changsheng made a wish: to catch a glimpse of her future wife. Instead, she transmigrated into the body of a scummy Alpha.... more>>

This was nothing like the sweet life she had imagined. Sitting across from her was a cold, expressionless woman. On the table between them lay a stack of papers—boldly titled Divorce Agreement.

“We’re getting divorced?”

“Yes.”

“I cheated?”

“Yes.”

“I’m leaving with nothing?”

“Yes.”

Lin Changsheng fainted on the spot and was rushed to the hospital.

But the longer she stayed in this world, the more she felt that something wasn’t right. Looking at her fair-skinned, beautiful, and insanely wealthy wife, Lin Changsheng had only one thought: Only an idiot would get divorced.

Determined, she clung tightly to her wife’s golden thigh.

“Wife! I swear I’m not some scummy Alpha!”

Later, Lin Changsheng and Mo Zhaoyan joined a reality dating show. Rumors about their divorce spread wildly online. One night, the production crew suddenly burst into Lin Changsheng’s room—only to be met by a cold-faced Mo Zhaoyan.

“She’s not available today.”

The very next day, the divorce rumors were instantly shut down.

At 40 years old, Mo Zhaoyan had successfully returned to ten years ago—the day they divorced. She had fought tooth and nail to come back for one reason: to stop Lin Changsheng.

A year from now, Lin Changsheng would develop a new drug that would result in nearly a hundred million casualties, almost bringing the world to ruin.

On the day she was arrested, Lin Changsheng took her own life out of guilt. Mo Zhaoyan couldn’t understand it. Once, they had loved each other deeply. But later, Lin Changsheng had changed—becoming distant, terrifying, and unrecognizable.

Fueled by obsession, Mo Zhaoyan came back to the past—only to find that the Lin Changsheng before her seemed... different.

The Lin Changsheng in her memory had been dark, withdrawn, and brooding. But the one before her now, though lost and confused, still had a brightness in her eyes.

This time, Mo Zhaoyan would trust her. Stay with her and never let go again. <<less

Ming He always believed she had entered a world of cultivation, only to discover she had stepped into the script of the unstoppable Dragon Hero (Long Aotian, 龙傲天, a Chinese term that is often used in the context of web novels, particularly in the fantasy and martial arts genres, to describe a character who is exceptionally powerful, confident, and often has a strong sense of superiority).... more>>

Su Ming He, the younger half-sister of Su Cheng Feng, the leader of the Su family, is the aunt of the main character, the Dragon Hero. She taunts the fallen hero and becomes one of the stepping stones for him…

However, Su Cheng Feng is still just the young master of the Su family, an inner sect disciple of the Liu Yun Sect, and the Dragon Hero’s mother has just arrived at the Liu Yun Sect as a core disciple for a certain purpose.

Ming He clenched her fist. So what if she is an outer sect disciple? Now that she is here, she definitely wants to climb to great heights.

With a three-foot azure blade in hand, she will tread the path through the clouds, witness the sun, moon, and stars of the Thousand Layers Spirit Mountain, and see the raging waves of the Giant Serpent in the vast Eastern Sea. She wants to see the duel of the top talents from the Dragon and Tiger Rankings!

But—what’s up with this woman who always sticks to her side, smiling charmingly like a temptation, and keeps trying to touch her? Isn’t she the Dragon Hero’s mother?

"Substitute" was a melodramatic ABO novel featuring a clichéd substitute girlfriend and a domineering CEO. The heroine, Shu Jin, served as the substitute girlfriend for a certain unscrupulous CEO. After enduring ab*se from both the scum CEO and his ideal woman, which left her seriously ill, Shu Jin grew weary and decided to give up.... more>>

After distancing herself from the scum man, Shu Jin severed all emotional ties and focused on developing her career. She flawlessly executed a splendid transformation from a pitiful substitute to a wealthy and powerful female protagonist.

Later, when the domineering CEO showed remorse and confessed his feelings, Shu Jin slapped him hard.

"When I was putting in effort, you didn't want it. Now, what are you doing, acting out a wife-chasing funeral scene for me?"

Until the novel concluded, Shu Jin never forgave the scum man. Instead, she remained beautifully independent in her life as a wealthy woman.

This book... hmm, Shen Yilan quite enjoyed reading it.

And then? Then she transmigrated, becoming Long Aotian’s aunt—the scum CEO’s aunt—from the book.

…

Looking at the crying heroine in front of her, Shen Yilan couldn’t help but step forward and ask, "Are you okay?"

2

Shen Lintian was a scum man.

He had cheated with his ideal woman first, and after breaking up, he even threatened Shu Jin to pretend to be his girlfriend to help deal with his younger aunt.

As promised, Shu Jin arrived at his home, only to discover that Shen Lintian’s younger aunt was none other than the sister who had given her candies.

3

At night, Shu Jin quietly pushed open Shen Yilan’s bedroom door and softly asked, "Are you asleep?"

She had shed her timid demeanor from the dining table.

Her attire was very bold.

But Shen Yilan remained unmoved. "Why are you here again?"

"My room’s air conditioner broke. I came to stay with you for the night."

Shen Yilan frowned, "Where’s Lintian?"

Shu Jin lowered her eyes, her eyes on the verge of tears, "Probably with the ideal woman."

Shen Yilan thought of the pitiful substitute heroine from the book, sighed, and said, "Come in."

Shu Jin complied smoothly, thinking, just as she had guessed, Shen Yilan was easier to deal with than she had imagined.

"Since Shen Lintian cheated with his ideal woman first, don’t blame me for hitting on your younger aunt. I want to be your aunt!" Shu Jin felt a surge of revenge.

However...

After sleeping in Shen Yilan’s arms until naturally waking up once again, Shu Jin murmured puzzledly, "Shen Yilan, isn’t this working?"

4

Later, when Shen Lintian suddenly repented and wanted to win Shu Jin back, Shu Jin hesitated.

Shen Yilan was very angry. She didn’t understand why there was any hesitation.

But Shu Jin was even fiercer—

"If I don’t consider Shen Lintian, what can I do! And you’re not able!"

Shen Yilan: "…I’m not able?"

"Unable? An omega like me came to you on my own, and you didn’t accept me. Are you able?"

Shen Yilan: "…"

And then?

Then Shen Yilan directly pulled her into the bedroom and said seriously, "I can."

Shu Jin: ?! <<less

Synopsis:... more>>

After binding to a broken system, Yu Liuxue must complete the dying wishes of female supporting characters—otherwise, she’ll die.

Request 1: "I want that vixen who stole my fiancé to pay the price!"

Request 2: "I want to divorce my unromantic wife! I can’t stand her for even one more second—just seeing her makes me sick..."

Request 3: "I want that woman to fall from her pedestal and suffer a fate worse than death..."

Yu Liuxue: OK, OK.

Thus, she became a pitiful little white lotus who lost everything to a domineering CEO, a powerful and ruthless scumbag boss, and a cannon fodder character secretly married to a top celebrity…

Then, she started seducing the female leads.

Unexpectedly, it actually worked.

Now, things are a bit awkward <<less

Sheng Jia has suffered a painful life since childhood, never having known even a hint of sweetness. The only time she experienced pure kindness was from her school’s pride and joy—Song Ji'an. Song Ji'an was an exceedingly radiant girl who repeatedly reached out to her, disregarding school gossip; even after being repeatedly coldly rejected, she never hesitated to offer a friendly smile.... more>>

Sheng Jia had long coveted Song Ji'an, yet she dared not approach her, for she was like the bright moon—untouchable. That is, until one day when the truth emerged: Song Ji'an was the fake “millennial daughter,” while Sheng Jia was the real one. All the suffering she endured had stemmed from the selfishness of Sheng Jia’s father, who allowed Song Ji'an to occupy her rightful place for seventeen years. In a fit of rage, the Song family expelled Song Ji'an from their home, and in turn, they lavished Sheng Jia with care and affection.

However, a transformed Sheng Jia one day picked up the downtrodden Song Ji'an from the roadside and brought her back home. When her mother questioned this decision, Sheng Jia masked the turbulent emotions in her eyes and replied in a calm tone, “Look how pitiful she is.” In truth, Song Ji'an was the moon Sheng Jia had tainted with dust—she merely picked her up, cleansed her, and then… kept her for herself. Nothing more.

Perhaps unbeknownst to anyone, Sheng Jia had orchestrated countless heart-fluttering deceptions in front of Song Ji'an, only to eventually discover that she was the one who had fallen first.

As the Terran Malevolence, Lord of Dead Lands, and Mother of Decay, Miss Bai Lianyue is currently utterly confused as she's pinned to the bed.... more>>

Over a decade ago, during a moment of haziness, she accidentally went "crunch" on the Divine-Graced Maiden. Filled with remorse, Bai Lianyue chose to raise the three children left behind by the Divine-Graced Maiden.

Originally, Bai Lianyue had planned to let the children eat her Primordial Core once they grew up, allowing them to reclaim the power that belonged to their mother.

This way, the children could not only end her sin-laden life but also gain the ability to defeat the other two Malevolent Deities.

Bai Lianyue always believed that when the opportunity presented itself, these three long-suffering children would unhesitatingly kill her and devour her core. After all, she was the culprit who caused their mother's death. During these years, she had been extremely "wicked" and "cruel" to them!

However, when the moment actually arrived, Bai Lianyue became puzzled.

"Um, aren't you going to eat me?" Blinking her eyes, looking at the silver-haired young woman sitting on top of her, Bai Lianyue asked in confusion.

In response, Ailiya playfully stuck out her tongue and l**ked her lips, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Of course I'll eat you. Don't worry, Mom is such a delectable treat, I'll definitely devour every inch of you completely~ I won't waste a bit~"

Hey, this isn't what we agreed on! Also, you naughty girl, where are you putting your hand?! <<less

A light-hearted, humorous, face-slapping, satisfying read.... more>>

A quirky and clever Alpha × a cold, black lotus Omega.

Jiang Ci transmigrated into the role of a cannon-fodder villain in an ancient ABO novel.

The original body, a prestigious first-rank military marquis with illustrious battle achievements, married the female lead out of lust for her beauty.

After marriage, his true nature was revealed: he imprisoned and ab*sed her, and as a womanizer, he filled his courtyard with concubines, favoring them over his wife... In the end, he was mutilated by the blackened princess, who removed his gland, severed his limbs, and locked him in a pitch-dark dungeon.

When Jiang Ci transmigrated, she found herself straddling the female lead, engaged in unspeakable acts.

Jiang Ci immediately revealed her true self: "I'm not Gao Yi! I won't take the blame for this! I can even prove it by breakdancing!"

Female lead: "???"

The system issued a task: "Please fix the messed-up plot, torment the female lead, and promote her descent into darkness."

Jiang Ci: "No time for you."

System: "???"

…

Jiang Ci had been single for over twenty years and had only ever liked one fictional character.

Now that she had transmigrated into her lord, how could she not seize this heaven-sent opportunity?

No matter who you are, she would confront heaven and earth, and teach a lesson to anyone who bullied the female lead!

After all, she had become the villain—it would be a shame not to act domineering and arrogant!

She gave her all to the female lead, protecting her at every turn, helping her build her career, and imparting all her skills... Only to eventually realize that she was just a substitute, that the female lead had always harbored a white moonlight in her heart.

All the ambiguity between them was because she resembled that person.

Jiang Ci: "Can I know who she is?"

Female lead: "No."

Jiang Ci was finally numb. Heartbroken and disillusioned, she exchanged rewards with the system and returned to her original world.

…

Later, the woman who had ascended to the pinnacle of power got drunk at a palace banquet. "Have you found her?"

Maid: "Your Highness has forgotten, she was a soul transmigrator, not belonging to this world. We don't even know her real name."

The wine cup fell to the ground, and the woman's eyes dimmed.

…

When Jiang Ci woke up again, she found herself still in the novel, but now she had transmigrated into her own body, and ten years had passed.

The young girl she once needed to protect had now become the powerful and influential Grand Princess. It was said that this Grand Princess was cold and aloof, with her only peculiar hobby being to capture those with eccentric personalities and suspected of having delusions.

Jiang Ci wanted nothing to do with the Grand Princess this time and tried her best to keep her identity hidden.

However, the Grand Princess, after ten years, had thoroughly studied all of Jiang Ci's tactics, surpassing her teacher and excelling even further. <<less

The last guardian of her world—Haga Mayumi—finally escaped the trap of immortality and embraced the eternal sleep she had longed for… after watching her world fall to ruin.... more>>

But when she opened her eyes again, she had been reincarnated into another world.

And this world… was bizarre.

Here, the guardians never get hurt, never bleed. They don’t end up covered in dust and dirt after battle. Their sparkling magic keeps their clothes pristine, and somehow, no matter how much they fly around in frilly skirts, there’s never a wardrobe malfunction.

The guardians of this world are called "magical girls," with brightly colored hair and flashy outfits. No one knows their true identities.

Or at least, that’s what people say.

But for some reason, Mayumi keeps running into familiar faces—her childhood friend, her classmate, the new transfer student, the school nurse… even that idol she once saw on TV. All of them just so happen to have rare, vibrant hair colors that perfectly match those of the magical girls.

And yet… no one notices anything strange.

Ridiculous.

But what Mayumi doesn’t know is this: in this cheerful, kid-friendly world, the most ridiculous thing of all…

…is her.

The girl who bleeds, who can sew her own severed arm back on and move it again in three minutes, who can blow herself up like a grenade and still regenerate from a puddle of gore—

—is her. <<less

"One morning, I realized that this place is the world of a Yuri manga."

When Chi Yue (Chi Shuo) was young, she had a crush on someone named He Lindi.... more>>

But He Lindi was dazzling, popular, and utterly unaware of Chi Yue’s existence, let alone her feelings.

So Chi Yue shifted her sights to another girl she secretly admired. Yet before she could make a move, she witnessed He Lindi embracing the sweet, quiet girl Chi Yue had just set her heart on—laughing, intimate, and radiant.

Chi Yue: What the hell is love anyway? Where’s my knife?

---

Everyone at Xinyue Company knows Chi Yue despises He Lindi from the upstairs firm. When asked why, her answer never changes—

“It’s just that weird magnetic field between women. I can’t stand the sight of He Lindi. Got a problem with that? Don’t make a fuss.”

Until one weekend, a colleague visits Chi Yue’s apartment to retrieve something.

The door opens to reveal He Lindi, her neck adorned with unmistakable strawberry marks.

Colleague: “Ms. He, why are you here?!”

He Lindi arches an eyebrow: “I’m her girlfriend. Where else would I be?” <<less

The great demon was originally a highly favored divine descendant of the phoenix race in the Nine Heavens who, unfortunately, succumbed to devilry. She has a bad temper and is quite narcissistic, always seeking to find a follower who knows how to flatter her.... more>>

Her maid watches helplessly as she steals a dragon egg back, trembling as she risks her life to speak, “Mistress, even if this egg hatches, it won’t be able to speak. If you want company, you should find someone who can talk.”

The great demon laughs, saying that only those she personally teaches will listen obediently.

The hatched dragon indeed is very obedient, gentle, and fragile, saying whatever she wants it to say. Unfortunately, people from the Heavenly Realm come looking for it. With the long-standing grudges between the heavenly and earthly realms, conflict could erupt at any moment.

A hundred years later, the great demon stares blankly as the dragon woman she had raised descends from the Nine Heavens—no longer meek nor soft, but rather cold as ice.

The dragon woman’s inquiry is like a challenge—

“You don’t recognize me anymore?” <<less

Tang Yan had been fostered at her uncle’s countryside home since childhood, growing up as a child of the rural area. Her mother had given birth to her out of wedlock, and her biological father was unknown. After the college entrance examinations that year, Tang Yan, through her own efforts, was admitted to Huadu University. The university was far from her hometown, and her uncle’s family, citing her coming of age, no longer took her in.... more>>

After her mother remarried, it was inconvenient for her to keep Tang Yan nearby. Consequently, her mother entrusted her to someone she said had once been kind to her and would provide assistance. "Go to Huadu and find Aunt Ji. She will help you quickly adapt to the environment in Huadu," her mother had instructed.

Tang Yan endured over twenty hours on a hard seat during the scorching summer. She remembered that on the evening her train arrived, the weather was extremely hot. A beautiful woman, impeccably dressed in the style of an urban woman with graceful manners and eloquent speech, came to pick her up. The woman took the initiative to help her with her luggage and offered a warm, lovely smile. "I am of the same generation as your mother. You can call me Aunt Ji from now on."

"Aunt Ji…" Tang Yan felt very timid, unsure whether it was due to the unfamiliar big city or the woman she was about to live with day and night.

However, she never expected that entering Aunt Ji’s household and addressing her as Aunt Ji would entangle her for life. <<less

At the grand competition of Sanqing Realm, Suiyin claimed first place in swordsmanship, gaining the rare opportunity to choose her mentor.... more>>

Selecting a worthy teacher meant becoming their closed-door disciple - obtaining sect treasures and inheriting an elder's lifelong knowledge. This privilege held immeasurable value.

Under the approving gazes of elders and envious stares of fellow disciples, Suiyin extended her finger toward the last woman at the elders' platform.

"I wish to study under Elder Wuwei."

Murmurs rippled through the crowd. Suiyin overheard peers whispering:

"She's insane! Choosing Elder Wuwei with such a prime opportunity?"

"Truly! She's throwing away her future!"

"Xia Wuwei merely holds an elder title. Even other elders' disciples surpass her skills. That fool must be enchanted by her beauty."

The sect leader urged repeatedly, "Reconsider your choice."

Standing straight at the competition ground's center, Suiyin declared with firm resolve:

"I choose Wentiang Peak."

The champion thus became Sanqing Realm's favorite joke - everyone claimed Suiyin had chosen lust over wisdom, blinded by Xia Wuwei's beauty.

Only Suiyin knew the truth: Xia Wuwei remained the true best in sword techniques. A lost sword heart mattered not - her mastery never depended on any blade.

Years later, Suiyin became the most envied disciple.

Though lacking power, Xia Wuwei overflowed with devotion!

Which master personally accompanies their disciple on every mission? Who cooks daily meals for their apprentice? Whose master comforts sorrows with warm embraces?

Suiyin grinned till her cheeks ached: "Mine does."

*

Xia Wuwei once dazzled Nine Realms with her Heartless Sword, vowing to challenge Heavenly Dao through blade mastery.

Heaven's envy struck - her sword heart shattered, her spirit broken. The Heartless Sword abandoned her, becoming mere dead steel.

Transformed into Nine Realms' cautionary tale, she drowned in self-doubt and perpetual gloom.

Until someone declared: "Your true strength never lay in that sword."

She remained the undisputed best in sword techniques - eternal and unrivaled.
