‘Siren’ a name derived from an ancient creature, used to describe those who could charm, lure, control, and heal others by singing.... more>>

Subjected to live the life of a siren, Aria had experienced, seen, and heard many horrific things. Broken beyond repair, Aria resigned herself to death, when suddenly…

The Grand Duke, Lloyd Cardence Valentine, arrived and whispered.

“Should I kill everyone here?”

“If you need me, just call me. Your song will always reach me, wherever you are.”

In the end, Aria called the devil, bringing death to all those present, along with herself.

“Let’s fall to hell together.”

And with that, Aria breathed her last and died… only to return to her 10-year-old self.

Now that she had a second chance at her life, Aria was determined to change her fate, as well as the cruel fate of her saviour, Grand Duke Valentine.

And so… Aria proposed to him with a marriage contract.

She sold her soul to the devil and vowed to protect him.

[Marry me.]

Aria extended her hand and gave him the contract.

[Let’s get divorced in 10 years…]

The young duke took the contract from her hand.

“So, where should I stamp the seal?”

“You said you’d divorce me within 10 years.”

The grown-up villain leaned in, hovering his head before he kissed her tenderly over her crown.

Before the original story begins, I reincarnated as a lowly noble burdened with debt. I managed to survive by selling bits of information to an underground guild, but even that has its limits.... more>>

However, as the story is about to start, I know that the villain’s family is looking for a fake contract daughter-in-law to pretend to be pregnant to delay the death declaration of their missing eldest son. If I take on that role for just a few months, I could earn a lot of money.

I was planning to live quietly as a dutiful fake daughter-in-law…

“If you stay here, I’ll give you all of Ekian’s inheritance.”

But the Duke, my father-in-law, likes me too much.

“Why solve everything with money? How about adopting her and remarrying her?”

The Duchess, my mother-in-law, wants to mess up the family registry.

“You did marry my brother, right? You won’t leave if he comes back, right?”

Even my brother-in-law, the villain of the original story, clings to me!

Meanwhile…

“They said after a while, they’ll divorce me and find me a good remarriage prospect personally.”

“…Remarriage? You mean to marry again?”

The head of the information guild, whom I used to sell information to, is acting strangely.

“That husband… he might come back.”

What nonsense is this? According to the original story, the eldest son of the villain’s family remains missing.

“E-Ekian? Is that you, Ekian?”

“You… you are back? Really?”

Impossible.

The eldest son of this house is never supposed to return!

“Yes.”

The story is staged in the distant future within our own Milky Way Galaxy, approximately in the late 36th century. A portion of the galaxy is filled with terraformed worlds inhabited by interstellar traveling human beings. For 150 years two mighty space powers have intermittently warred with each other: the Galactic Empire and the Free Planets Alliance.... more>>

Within the Galactic Empire, based on mid 19th century Prussia, an ambitious military genius, Reinhard von Müsel, later conferred Reinhard von Lohengramm, is rising to power. He is driven by the desire to free his sister Annerose, who was taken by the Kaiser as a concubine. Later, he wants not only to end the corrupt Goldenbaum dynasty but also to defeat the Free Planets Alliance and to unify the whole galaxy under his rule.

In the Free Planets Alliance Star Fleet is another genius, Yang Wen Li. He originally aspired to become a historian through a military academy, and joined the tactical division only out of need for tuition money. He was rapidly promoted to an admiral because he demonstrated excellence in military strategy in a number of decisive battles and conflicts. He becomes the archrival of Reinhard, though they highly respect one another. Unlike Reinhard he is better known for his underdog victories and accomplishments in overcoming seemingly impossible odds and mitigating casualties and damages due to military operations.

As a historian, Yang often predicts the motives behind his enemies and narrates the rich history of his world and comments on it. One of his famous quotes is: “There are few wars between good and evil; most are between one good and another good.”

Besides the two main heroes, the story is full of vivid characters and intricate politics. All types of characters, from high nobility, admirals and politicians, to common soldiers and farmers, are interwoven into the story. The story frequently switches away from the main heroes to the Unknown Soldier fighting for his life on the battlefield.

There is a third neutral power nominally attached to the Galactic Empire called the Phezzan Dominion, a planet-state (city-state on a galactic scale) which trades with both warring powers. There is also a Terraism cult, which claims that humans should go back to Earth, gaining popularity throughout the galaxy. Throughout the story executive political figures of Phezzan in concert with the upper-hierarchy of the Terraism cult orchestrate a number of conspiracies to shift the tide of the galactic war so that it may favor their objectives. <<less

The taste of spicy meat that pierced through to my brain triggered memories of my past life, and I realized I had reincarnated as Mariette Rose de Zenburg, the duke's daughter from the otome game, at the age of two.

That’s because my role is the villainous daughter plotting with my father and the nobles of the Zenburg faction to overthrow the kingdom.

The fate of that role is, of course, execution after being condemned.

The time limit is less than ten years until the main storyline begins.

Moreover, whether I try to get along with the heroines or stay away from them, my father and the others will advance their conspiracy regardless.

Why are my father and the others plotting such a scheme in the first place?

Upon investigation, I discovered that the duchy had been invaded by the kingdom and forced into submission, ridiculed as poor and provincial at the western edge of the world, and subjected to economic harassment.

In that case, it’s time to launch the 'Zenburg Duchy: Center of the World Plan'!

Instead of conspiracies, let's build large ships and sail into the vast ocean, aiming for the far west, the undiscovered new continent!

We’ll make the Zenburg Duchy a prosperous land, the center of the world!

(Note: The main focus of the story is territorial management with an emphasis on maritime trade and the development of magic tools. Romance elements are minimal, and neither the heroine nor the targets of her affection will appear for a while.) <<less

Tang Bai was born into a wealthy family. His body was soft and slender, and he loved to act spoiled. His family searched far and wide to find him a handsome and rich prospective fiancé. However, the prospective fiancé liked independent and strong omegas and was very resistant to this business marriage.... more>>

One day, Tang Bai’s brain short circuited, causing him to believe that he lived in a book. He was the cannon fodder shou, and his prospective fiancé was the protagonist gong. The protagonist shou, Xie Ruheng, was a strong, independent omega of the new era who pretended to be an alpha. In the future, he would become a marshal and the light of the omegas.

No wonder the love-filled bento that he worked super hard to make was rejected by his prospective fiancé who didn’t even look at it. Tang Bai’s eyes reddened as he turned around. He saw that Xie Ruheng was eating the horrible tasting training meal. How could the future light of the omegas eat this kind of devil’s cuisine that was fed to the pigs?

Tang Bai shyly said: “This was personally made by me. Us omegas need to pay attention to our diet and take care of our bodies~”

Xie Ruheng: ……?

The first time Xie Ruheng saw Tang Bai, he thought that even when this omega cried, he was still like the omega of his dreams. Although Tang Bai was virtuous, delicate, beautiful, and cute, he already had a prospective fiancé!

Xie Ruheng expressed with grief: “I won’t be the third party.”

Tang Bai was extremely moved, thinking that Xie Ruheng had already become good sisters with him and wouldn’t come to steal his man. There was a saying that Alphas were like clothes and good sisters were like one’s hands and feet. Don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of you!

Xie Ruheng: ……

Very soon, Xie Ruheng heard a rumor. Tang Bai’s prospective fiancé hated Tang Bai, but he couldn’t defy the orders of his family, so he could only create trouble for Tang Bai everywhere.

Xie Ruheng: This is the omega of my dreams that I want to hold in the palm of my hands, and you actually don’t cherish him? tr*sh!

Xie Ruheng: Isn’t it just stealing a man? So sweet.

Tang Bai found out in horror: Why are the protagonist gong and shou fighting because of me?!

Tang Bai: Oh! They must have a love and hate relationship! <<less

Bad news: Xu Yanmiao traveled back to ancient times, but he himself is lazy and uninterested in anything but internet cybersecurity, which is useless in ancient times.... more>>

Good news: He's bound to a system.

Bad news: The system is called the Gossip System, not the fortune-telling kind, but the kind that contains other people's private information and scandals. Utterly useless.

More bad news: This system is also glitchy, and the extent of the bugs is unknown.

Even more bad news: This body is that of a minor official who can attend court meetings, while Xu, the time traveler... doesn't understand the classics, can't write with a brush, and is at risk of being exposed for cheating in the imperial exams.

Xu Yanmiao: "..."

Forget it, just lie low, wait to die, maybe dying quickly could lead to another time travel.

...

In the court, the emperor was furious about state affairs, and the courtiers trembled in fear.

Xu Yanmiao pretended to listen attentively but was actually focused on browsing the Gossip System.

[Wow, the emperor just took in a 16-year-old noblewoman yesterday! A beautiful addition! He's getting stronger with age! And he was tossing and turning in bed all night but still has such a powerful voice now! Amazing!]

[This noblewoman used to be the crown prince's concubine! And the crown prince even knows how to write passionate love letters!]

[Wow wow wow! The crown prince sneaked into the grandpa's harem... hiss—got intimate while the old emperor was attending court! Do it quickly! Why isn't there any video...]

[Huh? Why is there no sound?]

Xu Yanmiao cautiously raised his head and glanced around.

[What happened? Why is everyone kneeling? Where's the emperor?]

—The emperor went to catch adultery in the harem.

*

The "imperial exam cheating" bomb finally exploded.

Xu Yanmiao couldn't explain why his handwriting on the exam paper didn't match his usual handwriting, nor could he answer why he didn't understand the classics.

The evidence prepared by the ousted crown prince of the emperor hit the nail on the head, and his personal bodyguard was ready to drag Xu Yanmiao away to the prison, awaiting execution in the autumn.

Xu Yanmiao held onto the gossip that proved his innocence but was in a quandary:

How do I explain the source of my information...

[Say that I secretly met with the Chief Examiner, the Minister of Rites, three nights before the exam? Impossible, that night, the Minister of Rites was dressed as a woman, spent the night at the General's Mansion, with the general...]

The general's body shook, and he interjected: "Your Majesty!!!!"

"Although the evidence of exam cheating is solid, I believe there's still something fishy about this. It should be re-investigated! Especially Xu... Xu... Xu Yanmiao's attire is neat and tidy! Someone who cares so much about their appearance, how could they tarnish their reputation!"

The crown prince, who couldn't hear his thoughts: ??

[Also, what's with saying that the examiner faking yawning and tiredness was intentionally leaving me a gap for cheating? He spent the night before the exam in the pigsty without sleeping, how could he not be tired the next day? But, surprisingly, the Imperial Academy lecturer actually believed in pig's milk...]

The Imperial Academy lecturer's face went pale, and he burst out: "Your Majesty!!!!"

"I... I agree with the General's words! How could Xu Lang cheat in the exam! He... he... he deliberately drank a glass of pure water before the exam, believing that only good-hearted people can use pure things, such a kind-hearted person, how could he cheat in the exam!"

Thinking he had everything under control, the crown prince: ??

Xu Yanmiao was deeply moved.

[They're all good people, even if their brains don't work well, they're trying their best to find reasons and excuses for me.]

[But I really have no way to turn the tables, alas, it's a pity that I haven't finished watching the TV series I've been following. The old emperor angered the empress last night and got kicked out of the bedchamber, and now I'm going to die before seeing the ending. He seems to be planning to paint his face with ink and pretend to be a cat to cheer up the empress...]

"Bang—"

The old emperor slammed the table, forcibly interrupting the continuous stream of thoughts: "I believe Xu Yanmiao did not cheat in the exam! Release him, innocent!"

The civil and military officials couldn't wait to echo, fearing that if they were too slow, Xu Yanmiao might spill more gossip.

"Yes yes yes! Release him innocent!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please end the court session! Let Xu Lang go home and rest! You've tired him out by making him stand for so long!"

The crown prince: ??
