The rich second generation Song JingWei transmigrated to the ancient times when there were more men but fewer women. The scum sister designed him to lose his chastity, become pregnant, and be reviled by others.... more>>

Song JingWei calmly married to the countryside and his life changed drastically. The other party was the son of a peasant family who was not only a farmer but also a scholar and was from the family which had everything to do with both the studying and farming for generations.

The only son of the Shen family, Shen JunXi, was poor and dumb, and still single at the age of twenty-four. An accident caused him to marry the young master of the richest family in LiHua Town, and it caused a sensation in the whole village.

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

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

Before Shen He could even find a boyfriend in his own time, he found himself transported into a novel, taking the place of a doomed character destined for tragic betrayal.... more>>

This character was raised by the male protagonist himself, entrusted and nurtured as his closest powerful minister, only to ultimately betray and meet a brutal death at the male protagonist’s hands.

Shen He: Trembling in fear.

Assuming the role of the powerful minister was far from what Shen He desired. He’d rather cling to the male lead’s coattails, hoping that with his support, he could wield some influence and perhaps even find an attractive boyfriend someday.

And so began Shen He’s diligent journey to ingratiating himself.

When he learned to speak, his first word was “Crown Prince”.

When he learned to walk, the first person he ran to was the Crown Prince.

When he learned to write, the first name he wrote was again, “Crown Prince”.

After years of dedication, Shen He became a trusted figure by the Crown Prince’s side. All in all, he enjoyed his role: the perks were grand.

By the time he turned twenty, he hoped to retire with a treasure trove and lead a life of luxury.

He had it all planned out: he would relocate to Jiangnan, a place known for its scenic beauty, and perhaps find a handsome man to call his own.

As days turned into nights, Shen He finally witnessed the male protagonist overcome all obstacles, ascending to unparalleled power. Shen He rejoiced: Retirement, here I come! That very night, he packed his bags, exchanged his wealth, and contacted a close friend to accompany him to Jiangnan.

But instead of his friend, the male protagonist arrived. The male lead, holding Shen He’s chin with a dangerous tone, said, “I heard you’re planning to settle down in Jiangnan and are even thinking of finding a handsome young master to wed?”

Shen He replied nervously, “Is it wrong to want a man?”

The male lead smiled, “Of course not. Choose me, let your ‘Prince Brother’ make you his queen.”

#All I wanted was to lay low, but he wants me to be his queen

#Do I look like someone fit to be the Empress to you? <<less

Jiang Churong had transmigrated into a book as a s*upid and poisonous cannon fodder who looked eerily similar to the protagonist, Gu Mingxiao. ... more>>

Gu Mingxiao was born with an innate talent for swordsmanship, and looked cold and transcendent, as unattainable as the silver moon in the sky. The cannon fodder had little talent and a despicable temperament. All he could do was rely on his similarity to Gu Mingxiao, beg for mercy amongst Gu Mingxiao’s suitors, and eventually become jealous of Gu Mingxiao to the point of almost going crazy.

When Jiang Churong transmigrated, the original owner had just slandered Gu Mingxiao and was sent to the Forbidden Forest by the sect leader. There, he was deceived by the future main villain and turned into a blood sacrifice. At that moment Jiang Churong, who had accidentally released the first seal, freeing the villain, took his last breath after having his blood drained to break the remaining barriers.

Jiang Churong didn’t panic. Instead, he bit the tip of his tongue, spat out blood, kissed the villain’s lips, and smiled. “I know you lied to me, but I fell in love with you from the moment I first saw you. As long as I’m alive, I will not let you die.”

In the twisted and complicated gaze of the villain, Jiang Churong, who had formed a life-and-death contract with him, pushed him and said, “Let’s go.”

------

As Jiang Churong expected, the villain kidnapped him that night. 

The villain was still just a young man with a sinister and indifferent expression. He grasped Jiang Churong’s slender neck and said, “I know you’re just playing hard to get, but for the sake of our life-and-death contract, you better behave.”

In his heart, Jiang Churong was laughing, but on the outside he said in a joyful tone, “Of course, of course, I’ll listen to you.”

Later, Jiang Churong and the main villain went through life and death situations together, and became an odd pair that terrified everyone in the cultivation world. The two of them turned the world of cultivation on its head.

During this time, Gu Mingxiao became known as the Venerable Mingxiao.

One day, Jiang Churong and the main villain were accidentally besieged by the forces of decency. Gu Mingxiao descended from the sky, dressed in white, and pressed the tip of his sword to Jiang Churong’s collarbone. 

There was blood on Jiang Churong’s lips as he raised his head and smiled lightly. “Eldest senior brother, I hope you’ve been well.”

Gu Mingxiao said expressionlessly, "Wen Ling is dead."

Jiang Churong raised his eyebrows. "Is it alright for the Venerable Mingxiao to lie?”

Under the watchful eye of the cultivation world, Gu Mingxiao took Jiang Churong away.

------

Jiang Churong was imprisoned in an underground palace. He was very calm, spending his days thinking about nothing but escape. He refused to believe that Wen Ling would die like that.

That night, Gu Mingxiao came to visit and their eyes met. Jiang Churong looked away lightly, not in the mood to quarrel with Gu Mingxiao again. But in the next second, Gu Mingxiao suddenly grabbed his chin and kissed him hard!

At first Jiang Churong was shocked, but then his shock turned to surprise as he felt a familiar aura. He thought ecstatically, ‘Husband, you’re amazing!’

But why hadn’t he known that Wen Ling liked to cosplay?

------

Wen Ling was the inner demon that Gu Mingxiao had separated from himself using forbidden methods when he was young, in order to obtain the Dao. He was the dark side of Gu Mingxiao’s heart.

Jiang Churong was the bastard that Gu Mingxiao despised most in the world. He used his face, which was so similar to Gu Mingxiao’s own, to do lowly and despicable things.

Gu Mingxiao never expected that person and his inner demon would come together. 

But when he saw Jiang Churong smiling and confessing to the demon he had abandoned through the eyes of that very demon, he couldn’t help but be moved…

Everyone loved the bright and graceful Venerable Mingxiao, but no one knew that there was a dark hole in Gu Mingxiao's heart that no light could penetrate.

Later, Gu Mingxiao found Jiang Churong and thought, ‘If he could love my inner demon, couldn’t he also love me?’

By some freak coincidence, Song Ci mistakenly consumed the blood of the Demon King, causing himself to become a demon too. A weak scholar…… forced to suffer in silence.... more>>

What was even more tragic was that no matter where he went, demons would attack him from all directions braying for his blood, or they would squeeze his neck while interrogating him about his relationship with the Demon King.

News from the frontier brought joy: the Crown Prince was soon to return to the capital in triumph. The noble ladies of the capital awaited eagerly, all eyes on the future Crown Princess.... more>>

Yet, what no one expected was the return of a young girl alongside the Crown Prince.

Rumor had it that the Prince picked her up on his way back to the capital. The girl, with fair skin and a beautiful appearance, seemed soft and easily bullied. Her watery eyes invoked compassion in anyone who saw her.

The usually indifferent Prince held her dearly in his palms, often saying:

"She's timid, don't scare her."

"She's innocent and kind, don't deceive her with cunning!"

"She's fragile, Mother, please take extra care of her."

However, everything changed when the young girl, with a cold, gleaming sword, rescued the Prince from enemy assassins. Everyone was astounded.

Timid? Innocent and kind? Fragile?

Later, many claimed the girl's identity was unknown, her actions ruthless and mu*derous. The Prince turned a deaf ear and insisted on a royal decree for marriage.

Eventually, she became the Empress, the first in history to co-rule with the Emperor. She journeyed thousands of miles to find a cure for the Emperor, working with the new Emperor to build a prosperous realm. From then on, no one dared to speak a word against her.
