Due to a small accident, the young streamer, Zhu Changyang, traveled to the world of cultivation.... more>>

Bad news: He had no money, no sect, no cultivation, and was very poor.

Good news: The streaming platform was still there.

Netizens: ???

And soon, they were about to be raided and exiled!

Sheng Nanxi, hands on her hips, wasn't worried at all. Since she's transmigrated into the story, the plot from now on would be under her control! She began by saving the original male lead and made him her little follower. Then, she and her brother moved everything out of the capital.

Lin Xuan stumbled upon a divination system by chance. The accuracy rate of the divinations was 100%, capable of bringing good fortune and averting disasters, saving people from perilous situations.

On one spring evening when I was eight years old, I, Erica, Duke of Aurelia’s daughter, realized something.... more>>

Huh, I have reincarnated into a fantasy world, haven’t I?

Moreover, it was the romance-fantasy girl game that had the reputation of being bloody, 『Liber Monstrorum ~Phantom Beasts and the Winter Princess~』

The face reflected in the mirror was that of the villainess character of that game.

After repeatedly harassing many characters, including the heroine, she would die without exception, signaling the beginning of an event called the bizarre incident. She was a villain who deserved to get the consequences!

—I absolutely don’t want a destiny like that, though?

No, since I have remembered the memory of my previous life, I will make sure that kind of thing does not happen.

In my previous life, I was harassed immensely by an irrationally angry yandere man who thought I was in love with him.

My cause of death, too, was from being stabbed by another yandere man who I only had talked with a few times…

Now that I have become the haughty villainess Erica, I shouldn’t encounter more misunderstandings like with the previous life’s yandere men anymore, right…?

In that case, it will be fine as long as I deal with the death flags that I may have raised myself.

All right! First of all, before the bizarre incident begins at the Magic Academy, I will strike down the death flags accordingly!!

—Or so I thought, but it seems that I am about to die.

Li Yu did his best to blow bubbles at the tyrant, but ended up being captured by the tyrant and raised carefully in a huge, ginormous…… fish tank. The life of a fish was filled with all sorts of blessings.

Everyday, Mu Tianchi watched the little carp swim around happily, pondering when this fish would finally transform into a human.

But this subspace... something's strange about it?

["How does subspace water taste? Like honey!"

Huh?

Lush green meadows, tall trees, and a refreshing breeze. While drinking water from a stream in the subspace, a system message popped up out of nowhere.

The content was unbelievable.

Wait.... did all my wounds heal just from a few sips of water?

Surprised, I jumped into the stream.

["Subspace water: Don't drink it, give it to your skin!"

▸Lower back pain (early stage) has been healed!

▸Shoulder stiffness has disappeared!

▸Wrist tendonitis has been cured!

▸Circular hair loss is gradually improving!]

It has been a week since I started living in the subspace.

Then, an unexpected intruder showed up, threatening the only entrance connecting it to the outside world.

[Subspace entrance collapses in 3 seconds. Do you want to exit?

Fine. It’s me.

2. She’s about to be sent to the countryside as a “sent-down youth” to farm.

Yu Xiang’an: “..This won’t do.”

That’s when she discovers her cheat: a farming game system!

In this era, what’s in high demand? Food and meat!

The system allows her to plant crops and harvest them instantly. With this golden finger, Yu Xiang’an stockpiles resources and eventually rises to prominence. After the reform and opening-up period, she builds a food empire, paving her way to wealth and success.

Years later, during a live interview:

The reporter asks,

“Your restaurant chain spans the country, from hot pot to fast food to five-star hotels. Many people call you the ‘King of Dining.’ What would you like to say about this title?”

Before Yu Xiang’an can answer, the live comments explode:

• “Not just the office building—she also owns a share in the fashion mall. [smug] ”

• “And let’s not forget, she dominates half of the cosmetics industry too. [evil grin] ”
