Why did this happen? ＼(^o^)／... more>>

One morning, as I woke up, I recalled the memories of my past life as if it was natural, just like the forthcoming of dusk and dawn.

The world I live in now is very similar to those in fantasy adventure games I played in my previous life, and when I found out that I was actually a villainous character doomed by the protagonist, I tried to live a modest but vigorous life so that I could avoid my fated end. Yet, somehow, I ended up having the strongest female s*ave unit, which could probably dominate the world without me lifting a finger. <<less

She was the godly thief of the 24th century, yet she was reincarnated as a good-for-nothing idiot with no parents. Not only that, she had to bend her will according to her relatives’ mood. Idiot? Tr*sh? Very well, sooner or later, she will show these group of silly earthlings what it means to be too late for regrets!... more>>

Battle-qi? Magic? Her talent in both magic and martial arts will mortify every genius in existence. The position of the clan chief? The mythological Vermilion Bird? Want them? So sorry~ She already took them!

But who will tell her, that the cute boy who gets carsick easily was really the mythological Vermilion Bird? Then, what about the elder that’s residing in her body, just which deity does that mysterious soul belong to? Furthermore……

Why was it that other people’s companions were those kinds of domineering, and incomparably mighty type? Why was it the ones around her were either an evil merchant or a sly fox, a useless nerd or a playboy, the worst is this sick pretty boy! What happened to rule the world, and standing above all else? Please don’t joke with me! <<less

In the summer, there are always cicadas singing, but this year’s noises are not the enthusiasm of the previous years.

Marriage is unavoidable as many interests intertwined. Hestia wanted her new shield and found the right person to her. He is called a savage. A man who hates her. Aslan Kalati.

“I will trample and crush you.”

Aslan accepted Hestia to avenge her

“Then wither or die by my side.”

Standing I front of herm he rages wildly, but contrary to her heart, she cannot calmly push away.

Like land of ice.

Anna, a saint who had worked hard despite being looked down upon for being an orphan, was chosen to be the prince’s fiancée, bypassing the other saint Noemi who was loved by everyone. As a result, the people around her became even colder towards her.... more>>

In the midst of this, the bishop asked Anna to undergo the “sacred ritual” to protect the country.

The sacred ritual is a ceremony where one is placed alive in a coffin and enshrined. Although Anna was reluctant, she eventually gave in to the pressure from those around her.

While inside the coffin during the ceremony, Anna heard the true reason why it was being performed and strongly regretted her choice.

Then a spirit appeared and offered to help her escape. With the spirit’s power, Anna fled and returned to the church in a different form. <<less

I am a male celebrity riddled with negative press.... more>>

People say I climbed the ranks through dirty tricks and that my private life is a mess.

My relatives accuse me of envying the adopted son in the family, always scheming to harm him.

Friends say I am two-faced and not worth getting close to.

Even my fiancé thinks I am not as generous and decent as my brother, who is kind and pure.

If that's the case, I will leave your world.

I shouldn't be defined and controlled by anyone. <<less

On the day I witnessed her husband's affair, I possessed the ex-wife of the male lead's possessed manic.... more>>

"Rebecca, I would have told you not to touch my body without permission."

I divorced him at once with one condition I stay in the mansion next door for the time being for the sake of my life. By the way...

" I regret the moment I divorced you. And my folly that I knew nothing about until your heart left me. Rebecca, I want to win your heart back."

"Your Highness, you said you would live next door for the time being, but you didn't ask me to regret it?"

"You've been struggling, because of me..."

With those quiet words, Rebecca let go of their clasped hands.

"...How about you, Cedric?"

At that moment, instead of my departure, all I had to do was stay with Cedric...

***

There was only an unexpected sense of emptiness.

'Rebecca is gone. And with another man.'

The image of man and woman holding each other in their arms kept disturbing my mind. Soon, a thick tendon bulged above the back of my clenched hand.

'Rebecca, you can't leave me yet.'

Even if she did, it would be this way now. At least for the time she promises to stay in this castle. I had to give myself the slightest chance to catch her.

"Answer me, really, did you try to run away with another man? You did it to punish me because you can put up with it." <<less

“Listen to me. I’m the only one you can count on.”... more>>

“…….”

“I’m the only one for you.”

“…….”

“Only me.”

What an abominable delusion.

* * *

For more than 10 years, my body was possessed by someone else. It would have been nice of ‘that person’ if she used my body and returned it in a good condition, but not only did she get married with my own body, she’s also clinging to her husband like a stalker..?!

“First, let’s get divorced.”

I tried to start a new life by dumping my husband, who has been treating me like tr*sh, and my family who treated me like dirt.

But.

“Leaving? You will leave me?”

My husband who doesn’t believe me.

“Why are you taking his side, sister?”

A younger brother who’s suddenly jealous.

“Stay in this house. You can’t go anywhere.”

Even my father who hated me all along is suddenly obsessed? What’s wrong with them all of a sudden? <<less

When I woke up, my body had changed from a thin macho to a highly obese, grossly overweight high school student.... more>>

This is impossible. I was in despair, but then I realized that I was in the world of an erot*c manga I had read long ago.

In the story of this world, I, a gross fatty, am supposed to hypnotize a kind childhood friend of the handsome protagonist who looks down on me and sleeps with her with all my might.

But I am not a bad person who would commit such a crime.

Okay, I’ll work out and lose weight first.

The protagonist and heroine should live happily ever after.

That’s what I thought.

Why is the heroine bothering me? <<less

The Jiang and the Sui Empires are sworn enemies. Both sides have been fighting back and forth for decades, each trying to press the other to death by the Yellow River.... more>>

In order to achieve this goal, the Sui Empire dispatched the Lone Star, Crown Prince Sui Heng, who’s known for his cold-blooded killing methods, straight to attack the capital city of Jiang.

The Jiang Empire has sent their Crown Prince Jiang Yun, whose reputation for virtue has spread throughout the world and who has recruited countless famous scholars, to lead his trusted aides to secretly infiltrate the enemy’s rear and interfere with their plans.

Both sides were very pleased with their results.

It turned out there was a little accident when they retreated.

Jiang Yun was assassinated by his subordinates, rolled down the cliff, and picked up by Sui Heng, who was also schemed by others.

In order to cure the poison, the two were forced to have s*x……

Afterwards, looking at that snow-white and stunning face, Sui Heng, who had always rejected having s*xual interc**rse with men and women had difficulty controlling his pounding heart.

He took this little beauty that he accidentally picked up back and raise him as a Wai Shi in the other residence.

Jiang Yun thought that it was impossible to escape, so he played along and pretended to have amnesia. While dutifully serving the Great Lone Star as a Wai Shi, he spied on the enemy’s information.

As a result, he hasn’t spied out much information yet, but his belly is getting bigger day by day.

Jiang Yun: Ah, ah, ah, may I ask if it’s still possible to run away now?

**

His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, whom the Jiang Empire has been looking forward to day and night, has finally returned to his home country.

Not only did he come back, but he also brought a little oil bottle along as well.

No one knows who the child’s father is, and no one dares to ask either.

Only Jiang Yun saw him as a beautiful little bunny who’s capable of finishing three bowls of rice per meal and is a little brat that was born with divine power.

He is worried to death.

The child looks too much like his father, what should I do?

Is it still possible to strangle him to death now?

The child who’s capable of eating: Shivering

**

Upon learning that his favorite concubine may have fled to the Jiang Empire, Sui Heng was furious and once again joined forces with other kingdoms to attack the Jiang Empire.

The one who came to meet him head-on was the mysterious Crown Prince of the Jiang Empire, whose reputation was famous all over the world and who was known as the world’s first beauty.

Sui Heng sneered and ordered: Those who can take Jiang Yun’s head later will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Houses.

The two sides armies were at war, and they saw a youth in a green shirt and jade belt appear gracefully in front of the formation, with a nine-point resemblance to the fleeing Wai Shi.

Sui Heng was confused and shouted, “Anyone who dares to shoot an arrow, Gu will take your dog’s life!”

The Sui Empire’s soldiers: ? <<less

Shi Qing’s task was to be a protector.... more>>

It was only after transmigrating to various worlds and eagerly counterattacking the villains there that he realized he was the biggest villain out of everyone.

– A king that liked to conquer other worlds

– A Film Emperor that had a malicious personality

– A Blackened Young Master with deviant intentions

– A Schoolyard Bully that was overbearing to others

Afterwards the gong that initially despised Shi Qing discovered:

– The Machine King that seemed like an invader was really a million-year-old baby

– The Film Emperor that seemed malicious was secretly helping upcoming actors

– The Young Master that seemed to harbor deviant intentions was a pure-hearted young boy

– The Schoolyard Bully that seemed overbearing was secretly in love

In the end….

The entire world: He’s such a good person! <<less

As the only princess and daughter of the crown prince, Sophia was born into the royal family. At the age of seven, she recalled her past life.... more>>

She was a solitary witch who had died exactly 200 years ago.

She had hoped that if she were reborn, she could use the magic she had learned and live a peaceful and happy life.

However, now that she remembered, her body clearly showed signs of malnutrition, with bruises all over, and she even had to do the work of the servants herself.

Wait, isn’t this strange? She decided to appeal to her grandfather, the king, and if things didn’t improve, she would leave the palace and live her own life. But unexpectedly, she realized that she was loved? <<less

I’ve been reincarnated as the extra character who stalked her husband, the male lead, for 10 years and died. Of course, I tried to divorce him before the female lead appeared.... more>>

But, I found out that my young husband’s household was secretly abusing him. At that moment, I immediately became overwhelmed with the responsibility and sense of duty a modern adult would have.

***

Aiden had his back turned away from her and suddenly grabbed her arm forcefully. The strength of his hands alone could have ripped her arms off. Erin timidly called his name and spoke.

“I already reminded you yesterday. We’re a married couple, so I’m always on your side.”

“…”

“So, everything is alright.”

She comforted him with these sweet words like it was a spell. And as if he was under her magic, Aiden stopped trembling.

***

The adult Erin requested to divorce her husband Aiden before the female lead appeared. As soon as those words left her lips, Aiden’s smile disappeared.

“A divorce? Never.”

Aiden tore the divorce papers into such thin sheets, the contents were no longer legible. Erin smiled at the sight. <<less

Your pleas only made me crave to punish you more—... more>>

Tell me, love, who do you belong to?

Jiang Yishan knew how tenderhearted Qin Shaosheng was towards him.

Even though back in the day, he only treated Qin Shaosheng as his sugar daddy, and had heartlessly dumped him for the sake of the path to stardom. What’s more, he even begged Qin Shaosheng to use his status as a young master to seek out the influential Qin Family, utterly trampling on Qin Shaosheng’s love for him!

Thus, after three years of separation and completely dried out of lowly tricks to play, his reputation thoroughly destroyed in showbiz, Jiang Yishan, who had nothing left to his name, came running back to Qin Shaosheng, begging to get back together, once more luring him using his body!

“I’m all hot inside…try it, won’t you?”

Jiang Yishan admitted that he was vile and selfish to the bone. As long as Qin Shaosheng showed an ounce of kindness to him, he would use it to his advantage to his death!

When faced with the current Jiang Yishan who had never yielded to him before, Qin Shaosheng was trying his best to remain cold and indifferent.

But even when he knew this was the usual scheming ploy where Jiang Yishan would feign weakness, Qin Shaosheng still got reeled in at the end.

He was well aware there was no way he could ever get rid of Jiang Yishan in this lifetime! Now that he could not refuse, he should—

—properly discipline him! He’d train Jiang Yishan’s entire body, starting from the inside, molding him into whatever he wanted! <<less

As if it wasn’t enough to be hit on the head by my co-workers and boyfriend, I died at the hands of my gambling-addict older brother. Without even regretting my unfortunate death, I realized that I had possessed a supporting role in a romantic fantasy novel, which I just read yesterday. To be precise, a villainess destined to die at the hands of her husband. I know it’s cliché!... more>>

‘Possessed a villainess in a romantic fantasy novel! So this is what it feels like?’

I thought it was pretty good for the price of my unfair death. Until I realize that no matter what I do, I can’t deviate from the flow of the original. For the female lead Lizé, it’s a delightful cider series, but it’s nothing more of a bloody story for Edith, the villainess I possessed.

I am the protagonist in my life. If I’m going to die according to the original story, I should at least kiss my super handsome husband! In the original story, Edith is greatly despised by her husband, but who cares, I’m going to die anyway. However…

“You pretended not to be, but now you’re so hot to play with. Well, that’s good.”

“Yes…?”

“Satisfy me like Riegelhoff’s serpent. Well, who knows? I might be interested in that body of yours.”

…why is the original story starting to change now? <<less

The daughter of a viscount, Eleanor Townsend lost her parents at a young age andhad been receiving sponsorship from the Duke of Griffith. This sponsorship led to rumors that Eleanor must be the Duke's illegitimate daughter.... more>>

Suddenly, the Duke declares that his heir, Daryl, must maintain a one-year marriage with Eleanor, or he won't inherit the title. Daryl approaches Eleanor and proposes a contractual marriage for just one year.

"If you want to repay my father's favor, you'll have to accept my offer. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to go through this absurdity."

He was a cold and arrogant man.

Throughout their contract marriage, Daryl's tongue had been like a poisoned blade, cutting through Eleanor.

"Don't delude yourself into thinking you're a real duchess. Live as if you were dead for a year. Don't speak to me."

She endured it, waiting only for the day when this marriage would end.

However, why is it that the one who never took her side, not even once, is now trying to hold onto her?

**.

"You're the one who said it only needed to be a formality; you're the one who asked me to marry you in the first place; you're the one who brought me a contract stipulating a divorce after a year; you're the one who coerced me into paying the favor the former duke had given me."

"......Eleanor, back then, I was."

"You told me not to delude myself into thinking I became a real duchess, and live like dead for a year. You practically treated me like I didn't exist the entire time."

"......"

"It was a lonely life, many, many times more lonely than the one I lived alone in Townsend Street, but I put up with it, because it was a promise, because I thought it was my way of making amends for the trouble I'd unwittingly caused you, and so I put up with it, because it was only a year, and I can't put up with it any longer, and I don't want to."

The calm way she spoke to Daryl contained all the truth Eleanor had kept bottled up inside for a year.

"Now please leave."

"......"

"If you don't leave, I will." <<less

Thearesia Brenstrom, the villainess whose engagement was always annulled in any route of a certain otome game.... more>>

When Thearesia had her engagement annulled by Crown Prince Ottmar in public, instead of tears, she had a wide grin on her face.

Thearesia Brenstrom had been reincarnated. In her previous life, her bias was Hugo, the ‘Demon Count’, who claimed and trampled on Thearesia after her engagement was dissolved.

Thearesia, who had long waited for her annulment, voluntarily leaped into Hugo’s chest.

“…Even if you regret it, I won’t let you go, alright?”

“I love you, so I won’t run away, Lord Hugo—!”

This is the story of how their love developed. <<less

Ilyin, who could dream predictive dreams, dreamt of spending her first night with the Duke of Biflten.... more>>

'Am I going to marry the Duke of Biflten?'

The notorious duke was known to stiffen one’s body when one’s eye meets his. Besides, he's a madman whose sword is faster than words.

"You can leave this mansion whenever you want."

In the dark night, the Duke of Biflten whispered. Contrary to rumors, he was kind. But he never showed his face. So then Ilyin, after spending ten nights with him, asked.

"Does one really become stiff when looking into your eyes?”
"No."
"Then can you show me your face?"
"Of course."

It was easier than she had thought. But the faceless husband was silent for a moment. Then, he whispered in a sweet, low voice, like the devil.

"But you have to make a promise."
"What is it?"
"If you look at me, you'll never be able to leave this castle again, Ilyin."

‘I don't want to leave you either.’

"So if you want to run, run now."

Despite his voice having no emotions, there was a strong hint of obsession. <<less

Raha, the unwanted Princess in the golden cage.
It was one winter day that her tyrant brother gave her a s*ave to warm the bed.... more>>

"Didn't your servants tell you to listen to your owner well?"

"So. What should I do?"

The man was a prisoner trampled by the empire and a s*ave on the verge of death.

His eyes were full of hatred.

She must also have been the object of his hatred.

Raha was willing to give her life to the hatred.

However, the eyes of the man who returned had changed.

"Raha del Harsa. I want her as a prize."

The Princess who wanted death and the s*ave who wanted her.

What is waiting for them at the end? <<less

“Did you approach me on purpose from the beginning?”... more>>

"...... yes."

“Must have been hard pretending to love the enemy’s daughter.”

Annette, of royal blood and the only daughter of a military general.

After two years of passionate love, she married her father's loyal subordinate, Heiner.

The happiness she thought would last forever with her wonderful and loving husband.

Everything was perfect.
Everything seemed perfect.
Until her husband's treachery caused the downfall of her family.

"I'm divorcing you, Heiner.”

"It is not granted."

“Do you still have any use left for me? My parents are dead, the monarchy has fallen. I have nothing. Your revenge is over."

“Madam, where do you intend to go to be happy?"

“...... there is nowhere I can be happy.”

Heiner stretched the corners of his mouth and smiled.

“If that's the case anyway, you'll be unhappy by my side for the rest of your life.”

Annette suddenly realized that his revenge was not over.

And that she had to break off this sickening toxic relationship with her own hands. <<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.

In the dangerous world of high martial arts, Lin Beifan traversed and found himself bound to a corrupt official system.... more>>

It seemed that the only way to become stronger was through corruption – a ridiculous notion, but one that he had to follow nonetheless. He found himself embezzling, accepting bribes, and using his power for personal gain, becoming a despised and hated corrupt official.

Yet, secretly, he distributed his ill-gotten gains to the people, leaving nothing for himself. He carried the weight of his bad reputation while still trying to make the world a better place.

The empress, who knew the truth, shed tears and said, “My dear, I’m sorry for the injustice done to you. Come to my palace tonight.”

The intelligent and beautiful women who knew the truth declared, “No matter how the world sees you, we are willing to stand by your side, through thick and thin!”

The martial women of the Jianghu who knew the truth vowed, “If they want to take down Lin, they’ll have to get through us first!”

Others were left in shock, “He’s clearly a corrupt official, why are you all protecting him?” <<less

Once he returned to his youth, he looked at the orphan traitorous general who was trampled and humiliated by the spoilt royal children in the secluded courtyard. He remembered the mu*derous hero who broke through the city gate in blood and gore in his previous life.

Li Yuanmin sighed and quietly took the bruised child back to the palace to take care of him, hoping to eliminate some hostility from him and minimize the people suffering.

Years later, the great general who calmed down the frontier, returned to the court. The first thing he did was not to return to his residence, but to go straight to the inner palace. He personally helped His Majesty take off his shoes and socks and gently washed his feet.
