It was something that happened while I was waiting for the day of the primary school entrance exam. I realised that I had become one of the characters of a shoujo manga that I loved reading in my old life, ‘You Are My Dolce’.... more>>

The role I was assigned was a character who bullied the commoner protagonist and tried to get in the way of her love with a rich boy nicknamed Emperor; a typical villainess rich girl, Kisshouin Reika.

At the end of the story, Reika suffered the Emperor’s retribution and even her family fell into ruin. With the villain gone, the protagonist and the Emperor overcame their trials and became a couple. And they lived happily ever after.

Wait, that’s terrible for meee! The manga ended there, but I have to continue living my life after my family is ruined!

The protagonist can enjoy her romance or love or whatever on her own. I’ll erase my presence so that I don’t anger the Emperor.

Eh-? The story isn’t progressing well because there’s no villain, you say? But I’m busy saving up money and studying so that I can live well after the collapse. <<less

Laila Estevan is the illegitimate child of a duke. Due to her illegitimate status, she had never felt that unconditional love and affection from her family. Even on her deathbed, she was ignored. She was unwanted and unloved—that’s how it had always been. The emotional baggage she carried traveled with her when she went back to the past just a month before her death. It was then that she made a firm decision: if she couldn’t receive love from her family, she would find it elsewhere!... more>>

Will Laila ever find love from others or could she find love from within? <<less

Ye Muo found himself transmigrated into an interstellar world, becoming the illegitimate son of one of the Empire’s minor noble families. With average psychic power and physical capabilities, his sole standout feature was his remarkable appearance. In a society saturated with nobles, he could only walk with his tail between his legs, constantly aware of his lower status.... more>>

However, during a highly anticipated battle simulation among the military academies, Ye Muo astounded all the onlookers by achieving psychic power resonance with none other than the Emperor himself, seated high upon the judging platform.

As was common knowledge, only those with a direct blood relationship could enter such a state.

Ye Muo’s irises trembled like there was no tomorrow.

That very emperor was the tyrant who slaughtered his entire family during his ascension to the throne.

The lunatic who claimed this sinful bloodline would end with his generation.

***

The Grantz, a clan of lunatics with the most prestegious of bloodlines. Aloofness was their characteristic, insanity their fate. Hidden under their glorious, millennia-long rule were innumerable sins. Virtually none of their members met a good end.

Their tragic lineage was finally extinguished by the infamous mad emperor, Norton Grantz.

Norton Grantz was thus referred to as The Last Grantz.

Until his beloved son, Xavier Grantz appeared.

But three years passed, the seasons changing. He had never looked her way despite being married, despite spending numerous nights under the starry skies. She could not figure out whether her birthday mattered to him than some lustful s*x without love. Sun Ha knew deep down that their marriage was at its wit’s end, and to want more than that was her fault.... more>>

Zhao Mian, the Prince of Nanjing, had an encounter with a stranger while he was on a secret incognito visit. Both of them were simultaneously poisoned, and the poison would be released every month on the night of the full moon. ... more>>

They had to engage in a deep conversation in order to survive.

The Crown Prince, who was powerful, handsome, and splendid, stared at the unremarkable face of the stranger, and through gritted teeth, he declared, "I can be killed by my elders, but I will not be humiliated."

The stranger was perplexed and asked, "I have no issue with you being proud, but why are you pointing a sword at me?"

Zhao Mian sneered and replied, "I would rather kill you than suffer humiliation."

The stranger tried to calm the situation and suggested, "Let's not get agitated. We can talk after I remove my disguise."

When the stranger took off their disguise, they were no longer a mere passerby, which alleviated Zhao Mian's anger to some extent. Despite their reluctance, both of them cursed and engaged in a profound conversation before the release of the poison.

Later, when Zhao Mian ascended the throne, a neighboring country sent Ambassador Wei Zhenfeng to congratulate him.

In the grand hall, Wei Zhenfeng's eyes sparkled under the clear moonlight as he greeted, "Your Majesty, I hope you are in good health."

Zhao Mian absentmindedly touched his slightly swollen belly and fell into deep contemplation.

During the full moon feast for the eldest prince, Wei Zhenfeng arrived uninvited, seething with anger, yet still maintaining a smile.

He exclaimed, "I returned home for a brief period, and Your Majesty already has a child? Your betrayal truly caught me off guard."

Zhao Mian responded disdainfully, "Everyone in this world belongs to me. How can I be confined to one person? Someone, remove this ungrateful man from Beiyuan."

As the two were locked in a standoff, an elderly eunuch suddenly revealed the truth. He spoke, "Oh, Your Majesty, you are weak after giving birth, so please don't be angered!" <<less

“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” -Matthew 7:14... more>>

Guomen, 過門/过门, meaning marriage in Chinese. If explained literally, it means going past the gates/door-a reference to the Bible(see above).

“Through the Strait Gates”: to me, it’s the best way to explain it.

The gate’s narrow, the road small for them.

Luo Zhiyu and Xiao Yan, both presenting in the middle of a gang fight, are carried to the hospital one after the other. One becomes an omega, and one becomes an alpha. ... more>>

Probably because the two were in the middle of an intense brawl at the time of presenting, their pheromone compatibility is an historically unprecedented 0%.

Other than sometimes fighting and getting on bad terms every time they meet, these two people put together are definitely safe — to the point that when there are not enough hotel rooms on a school trip, teachers put them in the same room.

Teachers: Anyone has the potential to date in high school, but these two definitely have no chance!

The principal catches an alpha and an omega walking on the side path in the evening, supposedly dating —

Students: There is no way, those two are definitely innocent!

Everyone, including Luo Zhiyu himself, thinks that there is no way between them.

And then one day, Luo Zhiyu gets permanently marked by Xiao Yan.

Luo Zhiyu: ? No, the pheromones say we are not compatible, we must believe in science.

Xiao Yan pulls out the new compatibility report, dropping it in front of Luo Zhiyu: Enough nonsense, go steal your hukou identification so we can get married.

As Luo Zhiyu attends his high school’s first year military training, under the scorching sun, second-year Xiao Yan sits in front of their squad drinking iced water and eating watermelon.

Luo Zhiyu picks up a stick and swings it at Xiao Yan for two whole blocks.

The boundless universe was filled with all sorts of wonders.... more>>

I, Chen *Ping'an, only have one sword, to move mountains, turn the seas upside down, suppress demons, deal with gods, pluck stars, break rivers, destroy cities, and open the heavenly abode!

My name is Chen Ping'an, Ping'an* of Peace, and I am a swordsman.

The Midland world was full of wonders.

In the center of the world, there was a scholar who had once used a sword to slash out a waterfall of the Milky Way. This was the person he was the most proud of.

At the edge of the East Sea’s cliffs, there was a nameless Daoist who was unwilling to ascend to the peak of a mountain. He only wished for a cool breeze to brush against his face.

In the Western Pure Land, there was an old monk who liked to treat people to chicken soup and tell stories.

In the southern border of the Wilderness, there was a blind painter who controlled golden-armored puppets that were as tall as mountains to move the hundred thousand mountains, creating an embroidered picture.

An impoverished youth who grew up in the north. One day, he saw tens of thousands of Sword Kinesis Immortals above him, like a swarm of locusts crossing the border.

He wanted to see for himself the scholar that the storyteller had mentioned, the surging tides of the East Sea, the vast swamps of sand in the west, and the majestic mountains of the Southern Wasteland.

Thus, one day, the youth picked up the wooden sword and began to descend south.
