She enticed the successor to the Duke of Lisianthus.... more>>

He sneakily grabbed my hand.

I sighed and twisted my hand out of his grip. “We can’t do this as friends.”

“Are you ashamed of holding my hand even once, Leen?”

No matter how much I think about what Carsion said, with his face showing ‘I barely held one hand’, it doesn’t seem that way.

“I can do more with you, Leen.”

Those words seemed to ring in my head, but the blue pupils were headed in a different direction – you can’t even look me in the eye. I mean, it’s not convincing to say those kind of words with such a shy face, you punk.

* * * * *

The Duchess took something out from the purse in her arms.

“Do you need money? Then take this money and break up with Carsion; take it without hard feelings.”

I stared silently into the thick pockets that the Duchess gave. Then I tapped my chin and gave her a serious look. “We’re not dating, we’re friends. Do you want me to cut off my friendship with Carsion from today?”

Will the Duchess get up from her seat, trembling and slap my face? Or are you going to spray water on me?

“Pass!”

“Ye-yes?” My face slowly blushed with embarrassment.

What’s with her unexpected reaction?! <<less

Yaoniang was the concubine of Jin Wang in the last life, but she had only been doted on for a few months before she died.... more>>

After her rebirth, she decided to live safely and protect herself. So she would do a job well as a wet nurse and never pursue luxurious life.

However, it never occurred to her that stern-faced Jin Wang who only did things without discussion in her last life would now take initiative.

Everyone in the world knew that Jin Wang had a concubine which was doted by him as early as he lived in original place. After entering the royal palace, she was even more prestigious and Jin Wang only doted her in imperial harem.

There were many rumors in the folk villages about the concubine. The only thing that was well known was that before she entered the royal palace she was a widow and it was said that she also had a son.

During the time Jin Wang became the emperor, he was diligent and managed the country well. He worked hard to improve his governance as a wise emperor. However, he was frequently crazy about the concubine, which made people criticize a lot.

And one of the most absurd things he did was to recognize the son the concubine had as his own kid.

To this, Jin Wang personally came out to refute the rumor:
“It’s my own son.” <<less

In a past life, Qin Ruan was deeply embroiled in family disputes and was framed to death, unable to rest in peace. Reborn, she found herself holding a pregnancy test in hand and arrived at the doorstep of the prestigious Huo family in the capital. ... more>>

It was rumored that Huo San Ye, the eldest grandson of the Huo family, was decisive, cold, noble, capricious, and unfeeling. He was about to marry a illegitimate daughter found by the Qin family.

When this news broke out, the entire city was in an uproar. No one believed that an illegitimate daughter could sit securely as the mistress of the Huo family, and everyone was waiting for their divorce.

Using her supernatural abilities, Qin Ruan set up a stall under a bridge and stirred up the power dynamics of the major forces in the capital. Even the fourth-generation grandson of the Huo family crawled out of her belly.

As her true identity gradually surfaced, no one dared to underestimate her anymore. Years passed, and Qin Ruan not only did not divorce Huo San Ye, but they also publicly showed their love for each other every day, causing everyone to be jealous.

In a small play, Qin Ruan warned a famous actor, "You're in danger of falling in love recently, and there may be bloodshed." The actor scoffed and walked away, but that night, he came to Qin Ruan begging for help, "Miss Qin, save me!" A business magnate who heard about this became so angry that he nearly flipped her stall. However, within two days, the magnate was kneeling in front of Qin Ruan, begging her to save his life. From then on, whether it was the new elite of the business world or the aristocratic families, they all treated Qin Ruan as a distinguished guest. <<less

During the springtime of the year I turned nine years old, a father I didn’t even know existed suddenly showed up.... more>>

“Why are you here, Duke? It was comfortable when we didn’t see each other.”
“You’ve been comfortable all this time, so isn’t it time for you to be uncomfortable, Your Highness?”

Turns out, my mother was actually the daughter of a tyrant. And my father was the Duke who overthrew that tyrant.

“O, great and busy Duke of Chelsiers. Did you look for me just to make me feel uncomfortable?”
“Is it so strange for a husband to look for his wife?”
“Do we still have that relationship? Ah, I forgot. Well then, let’s get divorced.”

…Can anyone tell me what’s going on with these two??

“I wish I was there to hug you when you were younger.”

It was a low whisper filled with a mixture of soft, warm and sad feelings.
I hesitated a little before I confessed.

“I often made Mom upset before. If I met you earlier, you might’ve hated me.”

Dad burst into laughter at my words. Even though… I meant what I said.
After a long laugh, he looked at me with a hint of a sorrowful smile on his lips.

“If we had met earlier, you would’ve called me Dad more. That’s enough for me.” <<less

Before becoming a widow, Hua Yang disliked almost everything about her husband. She disliked his sullen face every day, disliked him for lying on the bed full of sweat, and even disliked his lack of restraint at certain moments.... more>>

But when he really died and she became a widow, Hua Yang actually began to miss his good qualities one by one, such as his figure walking steadily in the heavy rain carrying her on his back, such as his blazing hot chest in the cold winter.

In high school, Xu Youyou was pressed against the wall by the school tyrant as he confessed his feelings.

Xu Youyou frowned and refused, "No, my mom says, the most important thing for students is to study. Otherwise, they’ll become the scum of society!"

Someone who has a single-digit score and hates studying: "……"

It’s been eight years since she possessed Adeline, the ‘villainess’ in a book called 〈 Beyond Orange 〉.... more>>

In order to end this tiresome possession, she tried to create the ending of being killed by the male protagonist— exactly as the book says.

However, at the masquerade ball where the male and female protagonists should fall in love, the male protagonist asked Adeline for a dance?

The male protagonist, whom she should never be involved with, is interested in Adeline, and even offered her a contract marriage…

Although she even lied to the male protagonist, who doesn’t seem to intend to act the way he did in the original work, saying that he would die if he married her,

Kiana, the troublemaker of the Prelai duchy.... more>>

I was about to give up my life as a villainess and be reborn as a new person.

Until one day, the family was hanged for treason.

‘There’s no need to kill me, who ran away from home 7 years ago and is only doing research in the countryside!’

The moment I realized that the academy, who said that I was a genius and would treat like a family, betrayed me, and that treason was also falsely accused by someone…

Due to a mysterious power, I returned to a year ago!

“I can’t help it. Now that it’s like this, I, who is smart and strong, has no choice but to save the family.”

There were two things to do for the family.

“Will I be of help to you someday too?”

“I tried to save him because he is precious to my grandfather.”

Restoring the relationship with the family, which was a mess, and…

“Please pretend to be in a relationship with me externally.”

Holding hands with ‘that man’.

Oh, before that. Pouring a water bottle over the dean’s head during the lecture, I said,

“This is gravity.” Get revenge on those academy guys who have no morals.

I knew I had reincarnated as a child from a poor and ruined home.... more>>

And yet, I thought about the pastry shop, which in my previous life, I could not afford.

But in this life everything is different.

Originally, I was a possessed young woman who got in the way of the protagonist’s love story and ultimately wanted power.

If I want to avoid the bad ending, I must show the biggest lack of interest in power. Then, I will be able to bake the sweets that I have always wanted so much.

But with the emperor, not everything is so simple …

“How long will you avoid me for?”

The crown prince, the male lead, will drive me to ruin …

“You are my only cousin.”

Duke, the strongest knight of the empire …

Saelica, who died as a divine power supplier before her regression. Meanwhile, the saint of the Temple of Parmanas, Amelia, was loved by the whole world.
People didn’t know. The truth was that all those miracles were actually Saelica’s abilities. This time, she swore she would never die unjustly.
The enemy of my enemy was my friend.

First, she headed to the Temple of Artemia.
“Artemia is the best! I’ll do whatever Artemia wants! (Artemia is the greatest god. I want to cultivate my mind and body beside Artemia!)”

Thus began Saelica’s temple life.

To help with the temple’s finances, she sought out its forgotten treasures.
“High Priest! We’ve struck gold!”

She also educated her peers, the future of the temple.
“Let’s be close friends with your fist.”

But then, things started to take a strange turn?

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 down 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?”

“And most importantly.”

Rieta looked around and whispered in Noel’s ear.

“Only be polite and friendly to your most special person.”

Only tell her that she is pretty and that you love her.

Rieta thought he must have understood, right? When she asked, Noel grinned with confidence.

Oh, I’ve taught you everything.

From the age of nine until now before the coming-of-age ceremony…It was very hard to teach her childhood friend who had a terrible bad temper.

But now, Noel wouldn’t be called the unlucky second lead anymore. Maybe he would really push the male lead away and take the female lead to his side.

Now that he had attained glory and honor, he was dissatisfied with his commoner wife. He craved power and wealth; in his quest to become prince consort, he regarded her as an obstacle to marrying the princess and was willing to mu*der both his wife and children.

The arrogant and willful princess stood before her and ridiculed her: “So what if you are exceptionally beautiful and have unparalleled talents? After all, you are only a small official’s daughter, for this princess to crush you – is just as simple as crushing an ant to death!”

Her reputation was smeared, she committed su*cide by hanging, her brother was mu*dered while seeking justice for her, and her old father fell ill from the chain of grievous news and passed away.

During the 42nd year of Hong Xiao’s reign, Yanjing’s no. 1 beauty, Xue Fang Fei, passed away. She reincarnated into the body of the Grand Secretariat’s daughter, Jiang Li, who drowned and was granted new life!

She got into a prominent family and engaged in dirty, underhanded dealings non-stop. She came across all sorts of bad characters, be they monsters or freaks, she dealt with them accordingly. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Lin Momo hasn’t had a father or a mother since she was very young and lives with the grandmother who picked her up after being thrown away. One day, a person claiming to be an agent approached her and asked her to pretend to be the daughter of a certain star and participate in the recording of a reality show, and she would be given 20,000 yuan after the filming was completed. ... more>>

Looking at her poor family, Lin Momo thought for 2 seconds and agreed.

This reality show is called ‘Living with Dad’. Dad takes the baby and randomly draws a family background to experience a different life every week.

The night before the recording of the program, Lin Momo had a dream that after the program was broadcast, only the team of the former singer—Lin Cheng—had bad reviews: the daughter is not cute; the father has no fatherly love; and the father and daughter have no communication at all during the whole process.

The audience pointed out: ‘He doesn’t know how to take care of a baby at all’; ‘It’s really embarrassing’; ‘There is no sense of presence’, ‘I hate this pair the most’; ‘It’s not good-looking at all, I suggest you go offline’ and so on…

Later, more black material popped up, Lin Cheng’s career and reputation collapsed completely, and Lin Momo’s 20,000 yuan was also lost. She was forcibly sent to an orphanage with the ‘help’ of Internet celebrities and caring people.

In order to keep her 20,000 yuan, Lin Momo was determined to perform well.

However, the father-daughter combination of Lin Momo and Lin Cheng still became the contrast team and the audience reaction is palpably different:

Other teams: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so cute!
Contrast team: Hey, my daughter is so sensible.

Other teams: It’s great to be a star.
Contrast team: The life of outdated stars is so miserable.　

Other teams: This is a parent-child interactive program.
Contrast team: This turned out to be a survival show?!

Other teams: Dad, come on, raise your children.
Contrast team who drew the [Unemployed Families] card: Daughter, come on and support Dad!

Lin Momo: “I have to work hard to make money, otherwise my father will starve to death.”

Lin Cheng: “I have to work hard to make money, otherwise I will have to take my daughter back to inherit tens of billions of property.”

——————　　

Lin Cheng, who hasn’t ‘appeared’ for half a year, received a call from his agent and was given a contract.

Lin Cheng: “Appearance fee?”

Agent: “None.” The appearance fee is 100,000 yuan, but the backer was invited to dinner for 300,000 yuan, so the remainder is negative.

Lin Cheng: “Script?”

Manager: “None.” The program team didn’t have time to write one.

Lin Cheng: “Draw lots?”

Agent: “Still no.” As the contrast team, there is no right to choose the family background.

Lin Cheng: “Is there a child?”

Manager: “Yes.”

Looking at the ‘fake’ child who looked too much like him, Lin Cheng had a weird feeling. <<less

“Now, Little Kid. It’s a gift from me to celebrate your return.”

As soon as I was recognized as the granddaughter that Namgoong had lost, I got delicious food, precious clothes, gold and silver treasures, and even high-quality swords!

I have a grandfather and father who would cry and laugh for me.

Just what in the world is this tingling sensation in my chest that I feel every time they do that?

To protect the laughter of those whom I had killed with my own hands,

To preserve this tingling and warm sensation for a long time,

Anger rose from Namgoong Mucheon’s inner thoughts.

Since he was about to gush out coarse swear words in front of his granddaughter, he repeated the same remark unpleasantly only to himself.

"My feelings will never change, Angelica. I'll bless both of you, so you can find happiness forever."... more>>

A confession from a secondary male lead that wasn't in the original novel. Rahil, who became emperor, vowed eternal love to the original female lead just before she went to the altar.

Now as the emperor, he needed to have an empress. But he wanted someone who wouldn’t torment his beloved Angelica. The perfect person for that role was Anais Ruol.

A woman who, despite her vow of eternity, dared to look down on the emperor with contempt. Indifferent to his love and clever enough not to hurt Angelica. A woman cold to love, cynical about it.

"There's no one else but you. Someone who can stay by my side without wavering, who can play the role of a wise empress..."
"Let's draft a contract. But before that... allow me just one slap."

For Angelica, for the nation, his feelings towards Anais leaned more towards denial. Yet, strangely, every time he was with her, Rahil felt an unfamiliar and unbelievable flutter in his heart.

"You can't... can't kiss me!"
"Why?"
"Because my first kiss will be with another man!"

On their wedding night, Rahil was both shocked and betrayed by Anais's explosive statement. But at the same time, he became even more determined.

"I'll make sure you, Anais, will be the first to kiss me." <<less
