"Don't worry. Even if you're close to death, I'll end you before that happens," said the 'assassin' with a smile.... more>>

Ever since I became the 'villainess princess' Lucienne in an Otome game at the age of five, I've had to endure the violence and hunger imposed by the queens.

One day, I met him - Lefebvre, one of the hidden capture targets in the game. He'd treat my injuries with herbs, help me sleep, and give me water and biscuits when I couldn't move.

For the first time, I felt warmth, and I made a decision. "If it's you, big brother, it's okay even if you kill me."

This unexpected encounter between two lonely souls, not part of the game's original plan, would change the game entirely! A story of a pure-hearted princess and a cunning assassin, with a significant age gap and one-sided love. <<less

If selected as a player in a horror game, it’s either clear the game or die.... more>>

Ruan Qing had it worse. He directly became a special player who played the role of an NPC in the horror game, essentially living in the opening credits.

What’s even more unfortunate for him is that his physique is extremely peculiar, attracting the attention of sadists and psychopaths no matter where he goes.

Game 1: [Horror Livestream Room] – A gloomy and delicate victim who can’t bear the slightest grievance – Completed.

Those who owe debts always have to repay them, and once you owe a debt, you will be selected by the horror livestream.

Ruan Qing was the first to be chosen: “…”

After Ruan Qing was chosen, various ways of his death flooded the invisible barrage in the livestream room.

However, when the camera focused on Ruan Qing’s face, the barrage froze, and the previously cruel and heartless comments instantly changed.

[I don’t think he deserves to die. Isn’t it just an insult? He didn’t lose any flesh. Why make a big deal out of it?]

[I agree, I don’t think he’s a bad person.]
Initially, everyone said, [Someone so malicious should just die!]

But later, everyone flocked to the Weibo accounts of the people Ruan Qing had insulted: [You can’t even afford grapes, but you dare to eat steak. Do you still have any humanity?]

People who were inexplicably insulted: “??? Are you crazy?”

If you discover a serial killer knocking on your door, about to break in within a few minutes, what would you do? If it were any other host, the audience would probably be excited and want to see various ways they would die.

But if it were Ruan Qing…

[Don’t open the door, Ruan Qing! Please don’t open the door! Run away quickly!!!]
Ruan Qing took out his phone and dialed the number of the neighbor across the hall (another serial killer), “Hello, your food delivery has arrived. Can you please open the door and pick it up?” <<less

All Meng Zezhi has to do is to live wantonly in these weird worlds.

*Celeb: short for celebrity.... more>>

A dull body, a timid and kind personality.

The fat princess who was ostracized, Rubetria Diollus.

“Oh my, the princess is at the dessert shop every time I see her. She eats so many sweets, enough to make one’s cheeks burst, no wonder she gets fat.”

Princess Lillia, the ‘swan princess’ of the family, was always surrounded by friends, and Rubetria, the ‘ugly duckling’ who was bullied by them, was a loner.

“Hey, you idiot. Our princess is angry. Eat it, quickly.”

“Puhaha…!”

“Oh my god! She really ate that!”

Rubetria was tired of the bullying.

Then one day, she said,

‘I want to live a wonderful life like that woman for just one day.’

180 degrees change. <<less

In the summer of 1992, Shan Ming was injured during a mission and got separated from his teammates. He was lost in the vast and horrifying primitive forest on the China-Myanmar border.... more>>

Relying on his rich experience in wildlife survival, he still holds absolute confidence in his ability to escape from difficulties.

However, it took him double the time expected to escape from this devil’s land.

The reason was that he accidentally picked up a creature that should’ve never appeared in this place – a child – a little Chinese boy.

On a whim, Shan Ming picked up the child from the gates of death. As a result, he changed the fate of two people, or perhaps even more.

The untraceable plane crash, the numerous crises faced by the mercenary group, the suspicions and sacrifices among the members of the group, and the ice-thin relationship with the government organization.

The fear-stricken “National Weapon” project, the legendary and tragic fate of the “Dragon Blood Kins”.

Huge conspiracies were hidden behind the seemingly ordinary missions and everything seemed to be connected with the child’s mysterious identity.

His appearance dragged Shan Ming and his mercenary group step by step into irreparable doom…

Ahem, the text above is sort of tricky. Let’s try a more relaxed version:

Due to a plane crash, a five-year-old (human?) shota got lost in the primitive forest on the China-Myanmar border. He was forcibly raised by a Chinese member of an international mercenary group.

Since falling into the hands of this inhuman mercenary, the shota has completely bid farewell to his delicate childhood and begun his painful ripening.

When other five-year-old shotas were acting mushy gushy in their mothers’ arms, he had been forced to learn how to shoot a headshot.

When other seven-year-olds were held in the palm of their parents’ hands, he had to solo the pe*verted killer who lusted after him.

When other ten-year-olds were still innocently crushing on their female deskmate, he had already followed his foster father, who had no lower limit to his morality, into and out of the colorful brothels in Las Vegas.

After being under the influence of his foster father for a long time, the naive little shota finally became abnormal…

So this is the story of a delicate young master who has been bullied and cruelly trained since childhood.

One who eventually grew up to be a black-bellied cold-blooded mercenary and successfully overpowered his despicable foster father that always treated him like reserve food and ordered him around like a dog. <<less

He had four disobedient disciples, who now achieved success, won recognition and established their own sects.... more>>

The embarrassing thing is that it was him who drove those four out of his sect to make them independent.

But one day he had an incident and lost his cultivation. His life was hanging by a thread. Wandering around, he walked into his third disciple’s territory.

What should I do?

Mountains and seas can be tamed, days and nights can disappear.

Only you, the exceptional you, refuse to give up.

——

A man blessed with fortune, the best in his generation, had an accident and started anew; broken in body but firm in spirit, he now uses his wisdom to guide his evil disciples back to the right path.

I became the Villainess who died at the hands of her husband in the novel.... more>>

To be exact, as a supporting role who dies after being used by her father and brother as a tool for political marriage.

One day, my goddamn father crawled out and brought my fifth groom.

The problem is that he is the husband who will kill me, and is the best paladin in the north who will bring down my family in the future.

First of all, I have to find a way to live.

Before I find a way to save my sister-in-law,

Won’t he save my life later on?

“Mielle, that marriage, I’ll do it instead.”

Yelena, who saw the future, decided to get married to the Monster Duke and give birth to his child to save the world, however…

“Are we going to keep being idle like this?”

Can Yelena safely give birth to the warrior and save the world in the end? <<less

The demon king, Xing Xuan, picked up a little kitten a thousand years ago. He named her “Ah Qiu” and kept her by his side as a pastime.... more>>

A thousand years later, the little kitten had become a thousand-year-old big demon, and the demon king, who once brought trouble to the three realms, was reincarnated as a noble and pampered mortal prince.

He looked noble and reserved, as graceful as jade, but in fact he was a severe mysophobia, a devil incarnation, a late-stage sadistic, and a deadly tsundere.

What hurt the cat the most was that he didn’t remember her.

Ah Qiu felt aggrieved and cupped the young man’s hand, trying to make him remember who she was.

The young man lowered his eyes and looked at the silly cat. It had long gray hair, blue eyes, and a big tail. It looked comfortable to rub at first glance.

So he stretched out his hand, rubbed her into a round shape, then flattened her again. He did it repeatedly, which was a feast for his hands.

Ah Qiu shrank back into the corner with all her strength. Her eyes were filled with tears, “Don’t, don’t, don’t… don’t rub…”

“If you rub me again, I’ll become bald!”

The young man stretched out his slender fingers, rubbed her soft fur vigorously, and said with a smile, “Be good, little one, don’t move around.”

[The Cat Demon’s Diary]
①

I had a big boss. He was the one who raised me. I thought of him like a mother in my eyes, even though he never allowed me to call him Mother.

Later, he was reincarnated as a mortal.

I decided to stay with him and be his cat.

However, I seem to be pregnant with his baby…

②

Today is another day to be pregnant with the little demon kings.

I suffered from morning sickness, fatigue, and a growing belly.

I asked the big boss, “How many cubs do you want? Male or female? Wolves or cats?”

The boss said that as long as they were born by me, he would like them.

Heh, man. <<less

Twenty years earlier, the ‘Blade of the South’ Li Zhi was condemned a bandit by imperial decree for establishing the 48 Strongholds of the Shu Mountains to shelter the destitute refugees of the world. ... more>>

“There will come a day–you will cross the tranquil and noiseless waters of the Inkwash River; you will depart from this haven sheltered by mountains; and you will find yourself under a vast and shrouded night sky. When you witness in succession the collapse of countless colossal mountains and the evaporation of fathomless seas into desert, you must always remember: your fate rests on the tip of your blade, and the tip of your blade must always point forward.”

“I pray that by the cold steel of your sword, you will be able to cut through the darkness of night for a glimpse of the day.” <<less

Shao Xian went back in time to when he was ten years old and met his pitiful old enemy. He wanted to personally train him so that when the other grew up, he wouldn’t turn against him.... more>>

But he didn’t expect that this old enemy would turn sweet and sticky after being taken care of.

It was just that this little sweet cake was too insecure and often, golden beads of tears would drip.

As soon as he cried, Shao Xian was helpless, and of course, he would want to give him everything.

On the way to an auction, Shao Xian died in a car accident.

Before he died, he thought, Fu Baizhou must be very pleased without him being present to mix things up.

After all, in Yan City, Fu Baizhou shocked everyone with a name of being cruel and ruthless.

Only one person dared to confront him.

When he opened his eyes again, he was wearing a custom suit, reexperiencing his tenth birthday.

He saw a dirty little boy being ridden on like a horse. He suddenly remembered the rumors that had been circulating widely in his previous life. It was about the tragic childhood of a ruthless man surnamed Fu. <<less

He responded as follows: You are the master of demonic cultivation, you crush all demons beneath your feet, you are a cruel Shen Du—you ought to be this horrible. <<less

There is no solution at this rate. The family will be exterminated, and I will be thrown away. So, no matter what, I must get out of this family as soon as possible!

‘Now that it’s like this, I need to lower their guard and run away.’

In order to get rid of the relatives who aim for the family and the sly emperor, it’s better to be in good favor with my brother-

“I want to dance with Dalia. What’s the problem?”

“I’m sorry, but my sister is shy.”

“Dalia said I was her favorite!”

Somehow, it’s not only my brother that I tamed, but all the strongest characters in this world are obsessed with me! <<less

But huh? When I opened my eyes again, I was back in the past.

“What do I have to do to live a kind life?”
