Siana was the princess of a small kingdom.... more>>

Until the Imperial Army attacks…

Right before her head is blown off by the cruel prince,

Siana screamed.

“Please spare me!”

Toward the crown prince with red blood on his beautiful face.

She begged in a desperate voice.

“I have many skills learned in the palace.

Wouldn’t it be perfect to treat me as a maid?”

So Siana became the apprentice maid of the imperial palace.

However, the work suits my aptitude more than I thought?!

If you use a broom, the hallway will be clean.

If you knead the dough, sweet cookies are baked.

When you do laundry, the white comforter smells great!

I just did my best as a maid.

The imperial family slowly begins to open their hearts to Siana.

“Your tea is always the best.”

“A dress you made? It’s very beautiful.”

“I want to ask you to educate the prince.”

But I never intended to capture this man’s heart…

“Me, too.”

“……”

“I can’t live without you, Siana.”

Siana tightly closed her eyes at the sorrowful voice of the prince.

Look, Your Highness.

I want to live as an ordinary maid! <<less

A low-level civil servant. An F-class hunter. Yoon Seora thought that’s how she would live for the rest of her life.... more>>

Until one day she was thrown into a dungeon alone.

“System, you f*cking son of a b*tch!”

The moment death was right around the corner, everything was turned upside down by her cry that burst out unconsciously.

[Checking information about ‘Yoon Seora’, the awakened who uttered abusive language at the system administrator]
[Do you wish to sign a contract with the system administrator?]
​

So I happily signed a contract with the little system administrator who had appeared out of nowhere…

【The overall evaluation value is readjusted.】

【The Awakened ‘Yoon Seora’ (S-class)】

Wait a minute, Administrator-nim.

You didn’t mention I would jump from F to S-class.

【Administrator: ♡ (ʃƪ ˘ ³˘)】

【Administrator: (ง・▽・)ว】

In addition, this administrator who overuses emoticons is too unreliable.

Whatever. By being an S-class I was going to quit being a dirty civil servant who always works overtime.

“I’ve never seen you in the past. Who are you?”

“Hi, I’m a contractor for the world administrator.”

​“I have never seen you before. Who are you?”

“Hello? I am the world administrator’s contractor.”

Somehow, I ended up in the center of an incident where the world is filled left and right with returnees. Can I really quit?

A silver-haired beauty next door to me!? Everyday comedy spent with a former evil boss!... more>>

The private life of Kusama Midori, known as Banshoku Green the green member of the Rainbow Sentai Banshokuger, who defeats the monsters all over the city, was rough. During the day, he worked as a part-time high school teacher (world history). After school, he wore his green battle suit and spent his days exhausted, battling strange creatures with overtime guaranteed, unable to even receive the figures he ordered every day.

Next door to Midori’s room, a silver-haired sexy foreign lady named Kuri Ashella, and her daughter, Taratat, moved in!? Encounters on the way home, chance meetings at the supermarket, and being cared for when exhausted and collapsed on the sofa, the dreamy life next door with the beautiful mother and daughter begins… or so he thought.

Upon waking up one morning, Lin Qingyang found himself transformed into a scum cannon fodder in the world of a tyrant novel! In the original story, the cannon fodder, due to coveting the male lead’s beauty, used schemes to force him into becoming a male concubine when he was forced to hide his identity. In doing so, the cannon fodder crushed the last shred of humanity in the male lead. The ending for the cannon fodder was predictable.... more>>

Now, Lin Qingyang, watching the future tyrant already bound the upper body with arms tied behind the back and rope looped around the neck, felt as if he was witnessing his own impending torture.

Lin Qingyang: ... Perhaps I can still cling on to life.

From then on, amidst conspiracies, battles, and dangerous situations, Lin Qingyang became a constant presence by the future tyrant Chu Lishu's side. He became the only one willing to protect him with his life, never to betray him.
　　　
After reclaiming the throne, and seeing Lin Qingyang's 'wholehearted devotion,' Chu Lishu decided to endure personal discomfort to not disappoint his beloved. His ears turned crimson, and in a hoarse voice, he said, "Whatever you want... I'll agree to all of them."

Excited, Lin Qingyang thought to himself: Gold, fertile land, beauties, and the freedom to travel and enjoy life.

Not long after, Lin Qingyang, riding in a luxurious carriage laden with gold and beauties, found himself surrounded by a large army, unable to move even a step forward.

A figure in bright yellow leaped into the carriage, driving away other people and leaving only Lin Qingyang behind.

Watching Chu Lishu's increasingly fierce and ruthless gaze, gradually turning red, and seemingly covered with a layer of watery light, Lin Qingyang felt that something was amiss. The voice of the tyrant was hoarse, aggrieved, yet tinged with a stubborn madness.

"Traveling? You can only go with me, otherwise, don't even think about taking a step anywhere!"

On that day, surrounded by the army, they waited for a long time before the carriage slowly returned to the palace.

The next day, an imperial edict was issued, announcing the emperor's empress.

Having just been woken up, Lin Qingyang supported his almost broken waist, looking at the imperial edict. Can he still be saved if he runs away now?

Everyone in our family has their own secrets.... more>>

My mom is the only daughter of a former interstellar pirate, my father is a secret agent of the Old Century Allied Political Army. My adopted older brother has a special bloodline of beastmen, and the sister we picked up from the roadside is actually a master of witchcraft with mystical lineage.

And I, an ordinary eighteen-year-old male high school student, the only biological son of my parents, has no special bloodline, and has been a “normal person” since birth

The reason why I can know everyone’s secrets is because-

I transmigrated.

I was originally an ordinary person on the edge of the class, classmates couldn’t even remember my name occasionally. I refused all social activities that might attract attention, and kept to myself at school.

For some reason, I offended the tough guys in school, and they began to target me openly and secretly, but I never fought back.

Everyone thought I was timid and cowardly, and I never explained.

Because I just wanted to be an ordinary person.

Until one day, I intervened to save a classmate who was being bullied. I accidentally exerted too much force, causing multiple serious injuries. As they lay on the ground unable to get up, I personally took them to the hospital.

Since then, whenever the tough guys who call themselves the school bullies see me, they can’t help but feel weak in the knees—

Yes, as one of the members of this special family, I also have a little secret:

Before transmigrating, I cultivated for a hundred years, with profound cultivation, just a half step away from ascension.

In short, invincible.

The classmate I saved recently has been looking at me strangely.

One day, he found me, his beautiful almond-shaped eyes turning, and he stared at me and said:

“I know your secret.”

I immediately covered his mouth, pushed him into the corner, avoiding the sight of others, and calmly questioned him: “What do you know?”

He’s the antagonist of this book. Although it will be another ten years before he turns dark, if he finds out that this world is a book, many things will go awry

I don’t want to get involved in any trouble, so I must not let him discover that I—

“You like me.”

Transmigrated.

In her last life, everyone said that Su Ling had a good life, a matchless beauty born from a high family. Her father was the Great General of Zhen and her elder brother was a high official of the Supreme Court.... more>>

She was married to Prince Jin as his consort and two years later she became the empress of Great Zhou.

Nobody can compete with someone so honorable.

Like this, in the first year of Yanxi era, Duke of Zhen deserted the army just before the war, and so, the Su family was accused of treason.

Su Ling died in the back palace after giving birth to a son.

When she opened her eyes again, she had become the daughter of a fifth-ranked grand scribe—Qin Ling.

Waking up from the dream, although she will no longer be concerned about the fickle man, she has no choice but to enter the palace once again for the child she had given birth to.

On the day of the draft, the emperor leans against the Dragon Throne with drooped eyes and without a word while rubbing his eyebrows impatiently.

Even while sighing, he never lifts his eyes once.

Until Qin Ling walks in, and with the exact same face as Empress Su, says: Wishing the emperor boundless happiness, good luck, and a long life.

Up the throne, the emperor suddenly raises his head. He looks absent-minded and the tea cup falls to the ground.

Desperately whispers: Ah Ling. <<less

I fell into an R19 devastating novel where a tyrant went mad and killed all the characters in the story.... more>>

The problem is that I only looked at the scenes and didn’t know the contents properly!

In any case, there is only one person to avoid, and it’s no other than the emperor. As a commoner, will I even have the chance to meet him?

While living in a village on the far end of the continent which was very distant from the imperial palace, I only have one interest!

“I’m Lucette. You can call me Luce.”

“Me too… call me Rev.”

One day, a mysterious boy, Rev, suddenly appeared in the village.

“Really, what are you going to do without me?”

“Yeah, how can I live without you?”

I’m worried because he’s so kind and naïve, so I have to take care of him and protect him!

…… That’s what I thought.

“…The other places are fine, but you should not come to the second floor.”

“Please, you must not drink this.”

“It’s nothing.”

Why do you have so many secrets?

“Report immediately who she meets, what she does, and who she smiles at.”

My friend, who disappeared for a while, came back even more suspicious.

“I told you, Luce. I cannot live without you.”

Who are you? <<less

Ying Zijin, the former big man, woke up and became the youngest daughter of the Ying family who had been missing for 15 years, and decisively adopted a child to replace her.... more>>

After returning, everyone ridiculed her for not being smart and capable, sensible and elegant.

Her parents even regarded her as a family taint, and warned her not to think about the position of the eldest lady. If there is an adopted daughter by name, she should be acquainted, or she will be sent back.

Ying Zijin: Let’s go, don’t send it.

While the Ying family was celebrating happily and everyone else was sitting and watching the real daughter’s joke, bigwigs from various fields were dispatched one after another—

  

The top-ranking actor with the top fan fighting capacity: Miss Ying, if you need anything, just ask.

Heir to the large conglomerate family who monopolizes the global economy: Ying Family? what? Boss, just kill it, right?

China’s first hidden ancient warrior: Who dares to bully the master?

A genius teenager with an IQ of 228: My sister.

One day, a rich campus idol, Ji Wenfeng, appeared in the school out of nowhere. His excellent appearance and ridiculous monetary power stirred up commotion throughout the student body.

Lu Rong exclaimed, “Is he extraordinary just because he’s a rich-second-generation?!”

Then he went home and discovered that his aunt married Ji Wenfeng’s dad; he’s now living at the Ji family until he’s of age. He’s going to eat Ji Wenfeng’s food, ride Ji Wenfeng’s car, stay in Ji Wenfeng’s house…

Ji Wenfeng: “Are rich-second-generations extraordinary?”

Lu Rong: “Yes, incredibly extraordinary.”

Ji Wenfeng: “You’re just a little brother (note, slang for someone weak/of lower status).”

Lu Rong: “Hello, Gege.”

Ji Wenfeng: “In this house, you have to listen to me. Starting for now, you are my little s*ave.”

Lu Rong nodded obediently, appearing like a coward. “Understood, I’ll go wash your clothes then.”

And immediately turned around, mercilessly packing up Ji Wenfeng’s entire closet: “Official Campus Idol’s real branded jacket! Starting bid at ￥3500! Come take a look! Don’t miss the deal!” <<less

"A witch?"

When the youngest prince of Thebes tells him about the witch of Mount Cithaeron, curiosity drives him to climb the mountain.

"Who are you?"

An elderly woman's voice. So this was the old woman with the golden eyes. An intense heat radiated from her breath, a little ragged with tension. A shiver ran down his spine.

There was a strong life force in that old woman.

"I am not the one you should be doing this to."

"Are you the son of a noble house?"

A rough, hoarse voice was his preference. The sarcasm was intriguing, and he found himself wanting to play along.

"Witch of Mount Cithaeron, apothecary, I have a request."

"..."

"Please accept me as a disciple."

But when they came face to face.

Homebody Zhao Hai brought ‘QQ Farm’ along in his traversal to another world and resided within the body of a fallen noble. His fief was a black land which nothing could be planted, and more importantly, he even had a peerlessly powerful fiancee, who was actually the successor of a duchy and future Grand Duchess!

Even more importantly, he is a magical and martial cripple who could not learn magic and martial arts. His crippling was very thorough.

“I can’t learn magic, but I have the farm. You dare attack me? I’ll release bugs to eat up your rations and crops, and put pesticides and weed agents into your water sources to make your lands grow weeds. See if you dare to attack me. What? You wanna hire killers to assassinate me? Hehehe. I’ll hide inside the little house in my farm and see how you can attack me. When you leave, I’m gonna terminate your country’s crop productions, and then all of your people will revolt. See if you dare to kill me.”

Empress of the Larchen Empire, Isilis.... more>>

She spends the night with Berthas, a man she meets at a resort, unable to overcome the annoyance of the nobles who insist on her having an heir.

“It’s, it’s strange…! Hah!”
“It should be good.”
Berthas whispered as he watched her petals dripping with love liquid. He quickly put himself in the wet place. Berthas felt himself being tightened from all around.

He can’t get away from this woman.

“It will be better now.”
He moved his body slowly as Berthas felt her insides warmly wrap around him. Her soft inside felt good. Feeling the thrill of excitement rush to the top of his head, he violently pounded her.

He thought, ‘I should have this woman…’
…This woman who gave her everything to him.

“Will you stay by my side?”
“Yes…”
“That’s a promise.”

But, how futile was that thought.

As if the promise meant nothing to her, Isilis disappeared from his side without a word. It was as if the long night that seemed to never end did not exist in the first place.

Berthas wandered in search of her.

The moment he finally met her again, he realized that Isilis was the Empress of the Larchen Empire, and that she had slept with him to have her heir.

“Was it because…you need a child?”
Berthas’ trembling voice turned to Isilis. As though he was the only one who remembered and pondered about the past, his heart was pounding as if it had been engulfed in a scorching fire.

“That’s right.”
From her red lips, an answer that broke even a single expectation came out.

Gazing at her with wounded eyes at the answer he had not hoped for, beyond the wounds in his eyes, the obsession that had never been extinguished until now was swirling with a darker color.

“Then, what about me? What have I been to you?” <<less

He couldn’t easily quit the academy, he was trusted by his diligent sister, he was followed by a cool beautiful girl who was the successor to the Sword Saint, and he was liked by a lively girl aiming to become the Great Sage.
