I’ve become such a character

I was reincarnated as a crony of the son of a frontier count who does evil deeds in the popular game “The Legend of the Magic Sword”

I had a twin sister who suffered from a disease.

In order to not let her die, I came up with a secret plan—-. <<less

Ever since Yun Li entered the palace, she transformed into a treacherous woman. Duplicitous and insincere, she spends her days acting. When facing the emperor's... more>> favored concubines, she simultaneously taunts them until they're sick to their stomachs while clutching her chest in feigned distress, lamenting, "I am so envious that you can receive His Majesty's affection." In the face of schemes against her, she responds with a slap but then dissolves into tears, crying out, "Why treat a kind-hearted person like me this way?" When speaking with the Empress, she nods absentmindedly, proclaiming, "Her Majesty the Empress is my guiding light! I will always obey her." <<less

Others who crossed over to the Cultural Troupe became dancers, but Gu Qian found herself as a canteen worker.... more>>

Oh well, work knows no distinction of high or low; though being a cook may not be as dignified as dancing, it’s still a skill.

Coincidentally, Gu Qian was a divine chef before crossing over. With a pot and spatula in hand, she works wonders!

Coarse flour, wild vegetables, bran… she can turn even pickled pancakes into blossoms.

Any awful ingredients in Gu Qian’s hands can be transformed into magical delicacies.

By accident, she rises from a canteen worker to head chef, becoming the revered Chef Gu of the Cultural Troupe whom everyone fawns over and dares not offend!

Just as Gu Qian starts to enjoy her good days, she catches the eye of the renowned young master of the troupe, Jiang Haizhao…

Jiang Haizhao, just graduated from university, is the most handsome and eligible bachelor in the troupe. Unfortunately, he unknowingly provoked the newly promoted fiery little chef, who only gave him a piece of chicken… bu*t for lunch.

How could a young master endure such humiliation? He grits his teeth and pulls her into a secluded corner.

“What did I do to provoke you?”

The little chef looks confused: “N-nothing…”

“Nothing? Then why did you give me a piece of chicken butt?”

“…”

Do you believe me if I say it wasn’t intentional?

***

Because of a piece of chicken butt, Gu Qian falls into Jiang Haizhao’s trap.

He threatens her, demanding that she must cook special dishes for him every meal from now on, or else…

“Or else what?”

Jiang Haizhao raises an eyebrow, his smile devilish: “Or else… I’ll stew you.”

“…” <<less

Lu Changping, a sovereign ruler, exhibited remarkable intelligence and military prowess after his ascension to the throne.... more>>

His only flaw was being overly fond of his sister, to an extreme degree in his later years.

The neighboring tyrant, known for his mu*derous and cold-blooded nature, had already killed three fiancées. Hearing that Lu Changping’s sister was the most beautiful woman of the era, he repeatedly sent proposals to marry her. Refusal might lead to a military confrontation between their nations.

After much deliberation, Lu Changping finally decided to disguise himself as a woman and replace his twin sister in the marriage alliance.

Unexpectedly, the tyrant fell deeply in love with him at first sight. Not only did he make him the Empress, but he also expressed a desire to have an heir with him?

=====

Xie Xuan Yuan, striving for unification, instigated war to dominate the world.

Hearing about the enemy emperor's excessive affection for his sister, Xie harbored malicious intentions and requested a marriage alliance.

Everyone anticipated the princess from the marriage alliance to be found dead in the cold palace, but contrary to expectations, the tyrant devoted himself every day to winning over the beauty.

Unfortunately, the “bashful and demure” beauty always found reasons to refuse sharing a room with him.

One night, Xie Xuan Yuan, unable to contain himself, drugged the beauty's drink, only to discover that the beauty was a man, and once undressed, was even more masculine than himself…

Ten months later, Xie Xuan Yuan, with child in tow, confronted Lu Changping, threatening fiercely: "You owe me an explanation for that night. If you don’t give me one, I'll kill your son."

Lu Changping: "Would you really? That child is also yours!" <<less

[Infinite Knowledge Quiz]
Question: When you return home and find a ghost resting on your bed, you rush to the door, only to hear eerie noises outside. You look out through the peephole and see another ghost preparing to open your front door. What should you do in this situation?... more>>

Among various answers like “hide in the shoe cabinet” or “hide in the kitchen,” Jie Fangcheng chooses to slowly draw his sword: first, kill the one on the bed, and then kill the one in the elevator.

***
After working diligently for 1,500 years in the underworld, Jie Fangcheng finally retired as an outstanding employee.
His kind-hearted boss asked him, “Would you like to return to the mortal world? That way, you can continue your work as a 007 agent in the underworld after a hundred and eighty years.”
Jie Fangcheng nodded in agreement.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an infinite game.
The game, “Do Not Respond,” was renowned for its horror, bloodshed, and cruelty. The survival rate in its dungeons did not exceed thirty percent, and death in the game meant real-life death.
Mysterious mountain villages.
Terrifying fairy tale towns.
Apocalyptic Battle Royales…

As players contemplated how to survive in the dungeons, Jie Fangcheng diligently guided and redeemed each NPC.
Jie Fangcheng: “Hello, I’m a recently retired department manager… and now I’m back on the job!”

***
It is said that a newcomer has entered the game, and the dungeon they entered has never been reset.

***
It is also said that someone witnessed NPCs panicking and running around.
Player: How is that possible…

Jie Fangcheng stabbed the ghost leader with his sword, completing the redemption, and wiped his blade: “Who’s next?!”

#What kind of lousy game is this? ［Do Not Respond］but I’ll respond!

#Trying to steal people from the underworld? Did you ask us, the official personnel of the underworld?

Consumption Notes:
1. Not a leveling-focused story, starting at maximum level.
2. Attack and defense mechanics deviate from the traditional rules. The game allows for forced storyline alterations and NPC manipulation.
3. Features a significant number of supporting character perspectives, god-like viewpoint, but not a large ensemble cast. Main focus is on the protagonist and their romantic interest.

However, what awaited him upon his return was only the chilling betrayal of his lover.

Feeling the imminent approach of death, Lee Hwan, in order to take control of his own fate, threw himself off a cliff.

And as if it were a lie, Lee Hwan found himself three years back in time.

To avoid the same future, he runs away from people, dreaming of returning to Earth.

In this journey of Lee Hwan, his friend Absalom, expressing a desire to protect him, intervenes.

Though swayed by Absalom, Lee Hwan could hardly trust him. After all, Absalom is the dragon who betrayed him at the last moment and had to be defeated. <<less

The Forgotten Princess, Myelle.... more>>

One day, while she was confined in the Star Palace, waiting for the day she would die, her childhood friend Ruderan suddenly appeared in front of her.

“Do you want to survive?”

“Of course.”

“Then, don’t resist. You must trust and follow only my words.”

Where did he learn to act like a nobleman?

‘He can act this way at any time.’

She was skeptical, but she held his hand for now. But the more she saw this man, the stranger he seemed.

“Why are you not surprised?”

“Why should I be?”

“You predicted the future, didn’t you? You’re not even a prophet!”

At first, she thought it was a coincidence. But Myelle soon realized.

‘It must be her.’

Did she reincarnate?

* * *

You were my first love, my childhood friend, the target of my inferiority complex.

I hate you a lot, but I also yearn for you desperately, and I can’t stand it.

Right now, those feelings…

‘It must be a desire. It’s obvious.’

Whenever he had the chance, he clung to her desperately, regardless of time and place.

He kissed her so sweetly and passionately that she had to open her eyes several times to make sure it was real.

She had to wonder if the man who used to speak only hateful words was really the same person.

“Haah… Tell me the truth.”

Myelle, who had barely pushed him away, asked with a gasping breath.

“Do you like me?”

“…Me? And you?”

The look in his eyes returned to reason, asking if she was in her right mind.

“You’re acting this way because you like me, right? Isn’t that it?”

“What did I do?”

“You keep kissing me and trying to get my attention. Are you going through puberty?”

“Nonsense!”

The man burst into laughter, and his enthusiasm was enough to make anyone who heard it flinch.

“Even if you run around naked, I’m not interested in that side.”

“Really?”

“You still don’t get it? You don’t meet my standards at all.”

Myelle tilted her head in response to his repeated rejections.

“Then, why are you like this? Down there.”

She pointed to his lower body.

More precisely, his lower part which was so straight that it would bulge out from his pants…

Haah. <<less

In these troubling times, Luke, the son and heir of the lord of the land, turned twelve and received a Gift. Unfortunately, it was a Gift useless in combat called [Village Building]. To make matters worse, his step-brother was the one blessed to inherit their father’s [Master Swordsmanship]. And so, their positions were completely reversed.... more>>

Luke was then banished to an uninhabited wasteland. There, his mysterious Gift activated and instantly made a village. He thus prepared himself to live modestly in this tiny village of his. Or so he thought. As the population of his village grew and grew, his Gift got stronger and stronger until it evolved.

Before he knew it, his [village] had tall buildings everywhere and had the strongest army. His village became the best there was…!

“Wait, can this still be called a village? And what happened to the slow life I’m supposed to have…?” <<less

Wen Ying, frail and sickly since childhood, found his greatest joy in gacha games.... more>>

One night, after hundreds of failed attempts to draw an SSR, his towering rage summoned a demon. Expecting to be devoured, Wen Ying instead defeated the demon and became one himself.

His great-grandfather sent a congratulatory message: "You are the hope of our clan! Strive to become the Demon King and fulfill our ancestral wish! I'll send you to the demon realm to study."

Wen Ying replied, "I refuse."

His great-grandfather warned, "A young demon in the human world will weaken and die, either slain by exorcists or turned into a specimen."

Wen Ying relented, "…Let's go."

As an ordinary Mirror Demon, aspiring to be the Demon King was like an underachiever dreaming of getting into Tsinghua or Peking University.

Wen Ying immersed himself in his demonic powers, turning them into a card-drawing game.

As a demon realm underachiever, to avoid failing his first class test, Wen Ying used his demon tail to hook the tail of a ferocious three-headed Hellhound classmate, signaling him not to challenge his rank.

The Hellhound didn't challenge Wen Ying, but his expression was odd.

After class, the malevolent bird classmate explained, "When a demon hooks another demon's tail with their own, it means 'I like you.'"

Wen Ying exclaimed, "Damn it!" <<less

When he woke up, he was back to where he was before the fire.

The Verdier family, who owns a small estate in the southwest of the Swanton Kingdom, which has regained peace after the war, is experiencing serious financial difficulties. The Viscount doesn't has a son and Alice, the beautiful daughter of the family, seems to have no way to save her family other than to welcome a splendid groom in this social season.... more>>

Yun Zi'an, a small-time actor, catapulted into the public eye due to a candid photo of his bare face taken by a passerby, earning him a spot among the "Top Ten Most Beautiful Faces in the Entertainment Industry" by a magazine. Fans noticed that on any occasion, Yun Zi'an always wore a simple platinum ring on his ring finger. The mystery of who the other half of the ring belonged to gradually became an unresolved enigma in the entertainment circle. Under relentless questioning by journalists and the media, Yun Zi'an could no longer evade the topic. He pulled out his phone and showed a black-and-white photo of a man, "My spouse passed away three years... more>> ago. Let the deceased rest in peace."

Coincidentally, CRUSH brand CEO Rong Xiao returned to the country and was surprised to see his own black-and-white photo trending on social media, leaving him baffled. That very night, as Yun Zi'an opened his front door, he was greeted by a familiar figure in a suit, sitting on his sofa with crossed arms and legs. The man smirked at him, "Sorry to disappoint, but I didn't quite die." Rong Xiao was known online as a man brimming with hormones yet extremely indifferent in nature, with no mortal seemingly able to stir his desires. However, he was caught by paparazzi in a heated kiss with an unidentifiable man in his car. The internet exploded with speculation: Who was this seductive creature that had ensnared Rong Xiao?

Upon seeing the trending news, Yun Zi'an, gritting his teeth, slammed the divorce papers onto Rong Xiao's face, "Divorce!" Rong Xiao responded with a faint smile, suddenly unbuttoning his shirt to reveal his nearly perfect muscular back, "Just a reminder, your husband's life insurance is worth 1.4 billion US dollars. Would you like to come over and count how many scratches you left last night?" His voice was loose and slightly hoarse, with a teasing tone, "You want a divorce? Fine, but you'll either have to pay a sum or... pay with a lifetime." <<less

Lin Yunwan is the legitimate daughter of the prestigious Lin family. As the marquis’ mansion is about to lose its title, she is married off to the eldest son, Lu Zhengliu.... more>>

On the day of their marriage, her husband coldly utters, “Marrying you was not my intention,” and then neglects her for a whole seven years.

She always holds onto a glimmer of hope for marital harmony, diligently raising the adopted son from the family clan.

Until the adopted son achieves success and fame, she is also exhausted physically.

She thinks her life is considered complete…

On her deathbed, the adopted son says to her, “Mother? She is my real mother!

You are just a cruel stepmother.”

Lu Zhengliu, with his humble (status as a mere “cousin” fit only to be a concubine), tells her, “You have occupied the position of the main wife for twenty years, it’s time to return it to Bao’er.”

Lin Yunwan dies with anger.

For twenty years, she dedicated herself but gave away everything, even raising the child for someone else.

It’s truly unbearable.

In her second life, she refuses to endure it.

If anyone dares to trample on her, she will make them regret it!

—

The wife of the Marquis’ heir died in a large fire.

It is said that the heir, Lu Zhengliu, was heartbroken to the point of madness.

At the same time, the most favored Huan Prince, Qi Lingheng, also acquired an elegant and noble royal consort. Some people noticed that the appearance of the Huan Prince’s consort was surprisingly similar to Lin Yunwan.

Qi Lingheng, with his deep and handsome face, showed a rare smile: Fortunately, someone doesn’t have a discerning eye; otherwise, how could I marry the beloved royal consort? <<less

The first time Ling Jiangye laid eyes on Xia Bai, all he could see was the captivating absence of his cerebrum. He couldn’t fathom how this man had managed to survive through the horrifying games.... more>>

It wasn’t until he got injured in a game, looking like he was about to kick the bucket, that Xia Bai unexpectedly emerged. His beautiful eyes gazed sincerely at Ling Jiangye and his tiny Adam’s apple quivered as he discreetly swallowed some saliva.

“May I have your corpse?”

Ling Jiangye: “?”

Xia Bai tilted his head, and behind him, a group of corpses materialized, staring at them with eager eyes. He asked politely once more, “May I have your corpse?”

Ling Jiangye fell silent.

———

Xia Bai and his companions found themselves locked in the morgue by other players. A ghastly wind rustled the white shrouds covering the room full of corpses.

Companion: “My heart is racing.”

Xia Bai: “Mine too.”

They exchanged a knowing glance. Companion: “On the count of three!—Run!”

“Ahhhh!” The companion sprinted towards the exit, eyes wide with fear.

“Ahhhh!” Xia Bai excitedly dashed towards the corpses, his face flushed with excitement.

“……?”

———

Xia Bai was thrust into a terrifying game.

System: [Scanning completed. Player’s soul skill is related to corpses.]

Xia Bai, who frequently dug up corpses and treated them as family, shifted his eyes guiltily.

System: [Player shall be known in-game as the Corpse Collector. Your skill is ‘The Living Dead’. We hope you can become a responsible corpse owner.]

As time passed, the number of corpses trailing behind Xia Bai grew. Most were players who had perished in the game. They entrusted their skills and bodies to him, protecting him, accompanying him, unconditionally believing in him. It was then that he truly understood the original intentions and lifelong responsibility of being a corpse driver.

As his grandfather had once told him, “Miles I shall roam, to send all home.” <<less

Yu Ying found herself in a revenge-themed novel without any romantic pairings, becoming the infamous yet powerless wicked ex-wife of the male protagonist. ... more>>

In the story, the male protagonist, who had lived as a noble son for twenty years, was suddenly informed that he was actually the son of a criminal, switched at birth.
The true noble son, exiled due to the mix-up, returned after enduring great hardships. In revenge, he first crippled the male protagonist’s legs and then forced him to marry a daughter of another criminal.

This daughter of a criminal, unable to endure hardship, took advantage of a general amnesty to escape with the last of their food supplies but died soon after falling during her escape.

That’s when Yu Ying entered the scene. Familiar with the plot, she knew that all of the male protagonist’s relatives would not live long. She also knew that after the death of his relatives, the male protagonist would turn vengeful and dark, ultimately succeeding in his revenge and becoming a powerful court official.

To survive, she had to rely on her knowledge of the plot and her expertise in traditional Chinese medicine, doing her utmost to save the male protagonist and his family. Crippled and branded as a criminal’s son, he was also forced to marry a malicious wife. During his time of despair, with no will to live, his wife, who had left and returned, seemed like a changed person.

Optimistic and resilient, she brought a ray of hope to the lifeless home and healed his crippled legs. Gradually, she became his redemption, an indispensable presence he could not let go of. <<less

At first, Gou Fugui refused, but, wolves in front and tigers behind, he was left with no choice but to close his eyes and jump into the vortex.

He thought it would be hard to survive in the apocalypse, but his [Quirky and Adorable Creatures Handbook] suddenly shone with the light of a golden finger!

Thus, Gou Fugui opened up the path to gather all kinds of riches and honors—

How can I survive if the sea floods the whole world?

Fear not! Turn into an otter and you’ll know how! You can float on the sea til the end of time, and you can store fish in your small pocket!

What if I don’t know how to fight against a strong enemy?

Don’t panic! Meet the flat-headed honey badger! When it comes to fighting, this brother has never been afraid of anyone!

What should I do if I’m surrounded by zombies and there’s no way out?!

Hold on! Fainting goat Fugui teaches you how to play dead and become a winner in life!

There’s also: the king of taunts, the Tibetan fox; the king of screams, the marmot; the house demolisher, ice king husky!

Although these oddballs are a little bit weird, and maybe a little bit of a waste too, there’s always going to be an odd waste that will get you through the apocalypse!

Later, every time a Doomsday Gate closed, there would be more than a few strange conversations between the gate’s survivors:

“Who closed the Doomsday Gate this time?”

“I don’t know. I only saw a Tibetan fox still alive before I fled.”

“A Tibetan fox? Why did I see a honey badger fighting against the zombie king?!”

“Wasn’t it the husky pulling the sled that closed the gate?”

After the calamity, the State compiled a confidential dossier on the saviors:

Thales did not have the answer.

He only knew that he came to a different and magnificent world, and he had to face a future that was as difficult to handle as a nightmare.

But Thales had nothing.

The only thing he had left was an unswerving determination to preserve his own identity, bravery which would allow him to survive in a perilous situation, and a belief that he would never submit to principles he did not believe.

Opening his eyes, he found himself back in his first life from the post-apocalyptic world. With a stoic face, Xia You crushed the wine goblet in his hand.... more>>

At the Marshal's matchmaking banquet, a seemingly innocent-faced younger brother held his hand, sincerely offering to help him elope.

It took Xia You nearly fifteen seconds to recall that in his first life, he had been a naive lover, easily manipulated without realizing it.

Xia You thought, "I'm tired, I've lived enough. Let it all end."

In the Empire, healers with psychic powers were exceedingly rare. Upon reaching adulthood, they would be matched for psychic compatibility, gradually meeting potential mates with high psychic powers.

Due to an unexpected perfect compatibility match, Xia You ended up marrying the Empire's Marshal.

His marital partner was impeccable: gentle in disposition, mature, tolerant, immensely wealthy, and occasionally went into deep slumber. Moreover, there was a sleek black panther as part of the inheritance.

It seemed like the perfect resting place for a laid-back soul.

After the marriage, Xia You thought, "This is bliss."

However, there was something odd. The precious black panther seemed too understanding.

Whenever Xia You would laze on the couch, wishing for a drink, the agile panther would silently bring a beverage, then gracefully lay beside him.

He wondered, "Is this what a highly intelligent beast in the interstellar world is like?"

He was absolutely smitten! <<less
