In the season of spring plowing, Tong Sui hastily got married.... more>>

Her husband's family lived twenty miles away, a place Tong Sui had never visited before.

She had never seen her husband, who had spent six years serving in the military away from home. All she heard were tales of his fierce demeanor, which even troublemakers dared not provoke.

On the eve of her marriage, a scholarly neighbor once proposed eloping with her. Tong Sui did not agree; she appreciated the scholar's gentleness and courtesy, but she knew well that in such chaotic times, he wouldn't be able to protect her at all.

Zhou Qiongyue only wanted to lie flat and chill—... more>>

Instead, she transmigrated into a novel she once read, full of backstabbing household drama.

Worse yet, she wasn’t even the heroine.

That title belonged to Xie Zixin, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Xuanping, Lord Xie.

And the male lead? None other than Zhou Qiongyue’s own childhood friend and cousin—the Second Prince.

As for her role?

Just a love-struck supporting character.

A devoted simp who clung to her Second Prince cousin, eventually becoming one of his many concubines—all for the sake of boosting his career.

And in the end? She was used, discarded, and killed off.

Thinking about her grim ending, Zhou Qiongyue shuddered.

That cousin of hers was way too dangerous.

Better to leave him to the female lead!

She’s rich, she’s got a powerful backer—she just wants to find a decent young man and live a peaceful life.

Too bad the original heroine isn’t having it.

She insists on making life miserable for her.

Well then.

Zhou Qiongyue didn’t want to fight, but she wasn’t about to sit there and take a beating either.

Before she even figured out who to marry, a suitor crashed into her life.

Tall, handsome, high status, orphaned parents...

Wait a minute—

Isn’t this her long-lost “fated husband”?

Fine. She’ll marry him.

But after the wedding, Zhou Qiongyue starts to notice something off.

The longer she’s around him…

The more she realizes—

This guy is completely insane! <<less

Ning Shu had dropped dead. But in a burst of good fortune, she became a task-taker in charge of counterattacking for the pitiful cannon fodders. Thus, Ning Shu, in one world after another, took... more>> all kinds of life roles and encountered all kinds of “you’re heartless, you’re ruthless, you’re making trouble for no reason” people. She encountered all sorts of white lotus flowers, green tea b*tches, scheming b*tches, by the batch.

Xia Fengguang was forced to transmigrate into several novels. ... more>>

In the CEO novel, the female lead was a young, ordinary university student while the male lead was the devilish king of business.

In the Jianghu novel, the female lead was the energetic and adorable medical genius specializing in poison while the male lead was the vicious demonic sect leader.

In the fantasy novel, the female lead went from being a useless daughter of a second wife to a cultivating genius that is only seen once every thousand years while the male lead was the demon king who is cold to everyone but warm to only one person…

As for her, she is the male lead’s fiancee who is a great beauty and has a great family background, but no matter which world she is in, she will never receive the male lead’s affection. Xia Fengguang finds this laughable. A genius who doesn’t get along with society, the enemy country’s emperor who has a poisonous tongue, a playboy crown prince, a medical sage who appears serious on the outside but is frivolous inside… Aren’t all these men already more interesting than the male lead?

But… what? Mount Hua declined? What the hell are you talking about!?

It’s only natural to want to live if you’re going broke.

Shen Taoxi and Young Marquis Gu had known each other for twelve years, growing up together like bamboo and plum blossoms, and were inseparable since childhood. It was during that year that their engagement was arranged.... more>>

From then on, she thought that the youthful affection would eventually come to a perfect end.

Until Father Shen was imprisoned, and Gu Jinwen protected other women in front of her, looking at her like a charity, saying that the marriage would not change.

Only then did she realize that true heart can change in an instant, and there was never any real perfection.

The young girl's thoughts were trampled on the ground, and the source of childhood love was nothing compared to power.

But even so, Shen Taoxi never bent her back.

She personally cut off the engagement, cut off the twelve-year acquaintance, and step by step faced the wind and rain.

But who would have thought that when everyone thought the once prominent Shen family's eldest branch would fall from power, Father Shen was released from prison and stood back in a high position.

And the pearl that was once thrown into the mud, was also held in the palm of the man who returned to the capital.

The one who had known Shen Taoxi for twelve years was not just Gu Jinwen.

Prince Huaixi Xie Jin had placed her in his heart since the first time he saw the little girl.

But at such a young age, he didn't know that once such thoughts arose, it would be a lifetime, disturbing him even when he left the capital, unable to sleep at night, and only wanting to take her back to his side. <<less

Miss Ruan Ningyu, a distant relative of the Xie Family, was as beautiful as a hawthorn flower, delicate as jade and soft as a flower, yet she committed the scandalous affair of eloping with Young Marquis Shen. On the road of their elopement, she was personally captured and brought back to the capital by her cousin, Xie Ling.... more>>

Xie Ling, the eldest legitimate grandson of a noble family, strictly adhered to etiquette and teachings, and was also rigid and pedantic. In his eyes, she was flirtatious, frivolous, and wanton, the type of woman that he, aloof as snow on a high peak, most despised. After she was captured and brought back to the capital, he subjected her to the family law.

Thus, the first thing Ruan Ningyu did after becoming the Empress was to haphazardly play matchmaker, using her imperial power to forcibly grant him a wife. Xie Ling’s wife was well-educated and polite, a noble lady from a prominent family, and they shared a deep marital affection.

Later, she sent a maidservant to plead with Chief Minister Xie, who by then held immense power over the court, proposing an exchange of benefits to spare her life. The man was silent for a long while, then instructed his subordinates.

“My wife prefers quiet and must not be startled. If any irrelevant people disturb my wife’s peace again in the future, you will be held accountable.”

Compared to his wife, who was respected by the common people, she was merely the Empress who brought disaster to the country and calamity to the people, deserving ten thousand deaths. She thought, she had probably never once truly caught his attention.

Reborn back to the time when she was young, Ruan Ningyu only wanted to stay far, far away from this powerful minister cousin of hers and not repeat her past mistakes. On her way to escape the Xie Mansion, Young Marquis Shen, whom she had toyed with and then abandoned in her previous life, relentlessly pursued her. The seemingly pitiful Seventh Prince, whom she had nurtured, was actually dark-hearted and scheming to possess her…

Little did she imagine that one day she would actually pluck Xie Ling, this “flower from a high peak,” watching him grovel and plead before her, gradually going mad. <<less

The male and female leads who stepped on Chou Chou's entire family to rise to the top?

The transmigrated Chou Chou shook her head and looked like a silly, chubby-headed koi.

Along the way, she protected her family, and by the way, suppressed the bad guys who stepped on their whole family to rise to the top.

In her spare time, she also saved a future divine doctor, picked up a future god of war, and casually took in several wealthy and noble younger brothers.

Until one day, Chou Chou's little followers started fighting over Chou Chou's ownership.

The divine doctor sister: "Grandfather said, I will follow Chou Chou in the future."

The future richest man: "I have money, a koi pond, made of gold."

Princess Funing: "I have power, male pets, elegant and handsome!"

The solitary young general knelt down on one knee: "I am willing to serve Chou Chou as my master, and follow her for life!"

Everyone: "…"

Chou Chou happily stepped forward, ready to wave her little hand and accept them all, when she suddenly felt the back of her neck tighten…

The four brothers said with gloomy faces: "Chou Chou, is ours!"

Xie Yi became emperor before he was even a month old;

At twelve, he allied with the court’s civil officials and his royal uncle to force the regent empress dowager to relinquish power, securing his own reign smoothly;

The Junior Lieutenant was besieged on a mountaintop, with one hundred people on his side and three thousand enemy soldiers. He raised his blade and placed it on her neck, saying, "Rather than falling into the hands of the enemy and being humiliated to death, I'd rather kill you with one slash first and free you from suffering."
