A genius schemer, creating an emperor!... more>>

“Only when your brother is happy can you be happy.”

She committed all kinds of evil deeds to make him Emperor. However, Artezia’s devotion was repaid with betrayal. It was the Grand Duke Cedric, a righteous enemy, that gave her a hand of salvation at the threshold of death.

“Devise a plan.”
“…”
“I can’t think of anyone but you who can reverse this situation. Marquess Rosan.”
“…”
“Lend me your strength.”

There is no plan that can reverse the already declining power and save the fallen empire. However, there is a method. To turn back time before everything went wrong.

With tears of blood she sacrificed her body to an ancient magic. This time, she will not fall.

Artezia, who returned to the age of 18 before death, resolved to become a villainess for the Grand Duke Cedric.

“Please give me your hand in marriage. I’ll make you emperor.”

In exchange for kneeling to the devil, the devil shall dirty her hands for you. <<less

As the grandmaster of demonic cultivation, Wei Wuxian roamed the world, hated by millions for committing acts of necromancy. Overthrown by the powerful clans he had attempted to subjugate, Wei Wuxian is supposedly killed by his shidi in order to save the cultivation world. ... more>>

Restored to life in the body of Mo Xuanyu, the local cut-sleeve lunatic, in order to exact revenge on his abusive relatives, Wei Wuxian quickly finds himself spiralling back into his old life when he’s taken away by the cold-hearted, stern, and ultimately quite boring Lan Wangji – who might be harbouring warmer feelings than contempt. Perhaps of the…romantic kind?

But despite his new beginning, Wei Wuxian begins to unravel a decade and a half long mystery that is set to undo the very fabric of the cultivation world as they know it.

A mysterious, action-packed thriller of a ride, this is a journey you won’t want to miss! <<less

Espers are guaranteed sufficient guiding in exchange for serving the state.... more>>

Except for runaway espers.

Runaway espers, due to their unstable metrics, are like ticking time bombs that could go on a rampage again at any moment.

Shin Joo-hyun, who went on a rampage immediately upon manifestation and spent 11 years being used by the Association like a dog, lived a life far removed from guiding despite being an esper.

In front of him appears Cha In-ho, a famous actor who manifested late at the age of 26 as a guide.

And he has come to be matched with a runaway esper.

“From now on, I will be your matching guide, Joo-hyun. Please take care of me.”

But this guide, for some reason, keeps acting like he knows Joo-hyun…

“I am the only person who knows Joo-hyun.

And you are the only one who knows me.”

Will Shin Joo-hyun be able to uncover Cha In-ho’s true identity?

Read If:

You want to see a cold, prickly, handsome Bottom hopelessly fall for a mostly gentle Matching Guide, and a beautiful, warm-hearted Top who eventually throws away his plans and regrets his hesitation once he accepts his true feelings.

Seok Mun-pyeong, the 3rd Team Leader of the Soul-Slaying Unit—one of the most peripheral posts in the entire Demonic Cult—didn't think much of it when the War of the Demonic Dragons, the contest to select the cult's next successor, was suddenly canceled. Even the outlandish news that the Cult Leader, a figure revered as the sky above the sky, had accomplished Rejuvenation was just a distant rumor to him.... more>>

He never imagined that this monumental event would become a fire dropped squarely on his own feet.

“Naturally, I’m not asking you to perform the standard duties of a Majeong. As you well know, you are not suited for such work. The role I have for you is something different. I want you to be His shadow, and at the same time, His tail.”

'No way... when he says 'Him,' does he mean the 'Him' I'm thinking of?'

Seok Mun-pyeong was thrown into confusion. It sounded like madness, but the official's expression was dead serious. A chill began to creep down his spine.

'So, a Demonic Shadow is 'His' shadow, and I'm supposed to be both the shadow and the tail? A 'tail' means to track and report on His movements... Is he really ordering me to spy on the supreme Cult Leader?!'

This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game.

The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions.

However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game.

Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw!

To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards.

For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure.

Worried about characters losing affection points? No need.

With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back.

It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers.

However...

Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game.

His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes.

Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls."

Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes...

The type who will kill you if they can't have you...

Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left.

"I really just want to survive..."

In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes. <<less

Wang Yanqing’s father died in battle. She was adopted as an orphan by the Marquis of Zhenyuan. She loved Fu Tingzhou for ten years and would go through fire and water for him. However, this woman carried a family history full of scars, and ultimately, Fu Tingzhou sought another woman to marry. ... more>>

Ten years of effort turned out to be a joke.

Fu Tingzhou accompanied his fiancé to buy incense outside the city, completely forgetting that it was Wang Yanqing’s birthday. On the road, they encountered an ambush and Fu Tingzhou became busy protecting his fiancée. While defending Fu Tingzhou, Wang Yanqing lost her footing and fell off a cliff.

After waking up, she lost her memory and only knew that she had to repay her gratitude. The man sitting in front of her bed smiled and reached out to touch her head: “Qing Qing, have you forgotten? You were plotted against by the Fu family and lost your memory. We’ve always known each other; we were childhood sweethearts."

She didn’t know that the man sitting in front of her was the renowned commander of the Imperial Guards, Lu Heng. He was also an old enemy of the Fu family. He was the main culprit of the assassination attempt on Fu Tingzhou that resulted in Wang Yanqing falling off the cliff.

After Wang Yanqing was taken, Fu Tingzhou went crazy. Fu Tingzhou rushed to the Imperial Guards desperately. Just as he asked Wang Yanqing to leave with him, he was stabbed by her sword.

Fu Tingzhou looked up in shock to see her acting coquettishly with another person: “Older brother, I caught the Fu traitor.”

Wang Yanqing didn’t know that after she walked away, Lu Heng drove the sword deeper and smiled at Fu Tingzhou: “Thanks for taking care of Qing Qing for the past few years. What a pity. Now she is mine.” <<less

When Duan Yelin first saw Xu Hang, he wanted to lock him up and hide his beauty in the golden house—in fact, he did so.

If he seized him by force, he is a robber; if he is being patient and indifferent, he will be meat in someone else's chopsticks.

Xu Hang was unwilling, but he wanted to live. There were still many things he had not done, so he finally entered Xiaotong Guan.

It's a long-standing battle.

Even after four years of entanglement, Xu Hang always seemed like a bowl of freshly brewed medicine, with a faint aroma, but only after drinking it could one know whether it was poison or antidote.

It was a long time later that Duan Yelin realized that what he had locked up was not a cold and arrogant golden sparrow but a cold and sharp golden hairpin. <<less

‘Let’s make a deal, child.’

There, she encounters a strangely captivating voice.

Renie forcefully pushed away his hands that were roughly groping her br*asts and twisted her body.

She crawled on the floor, desperately trying to get away, but of course, Kahn wouldn’t let her go so easily.

Like a predator cornering its prey, he watched her intently, then suddenly pounced on her.

Due to the significant difference in size, it was as if she was being crushed under a boulder.

“Why do you keep running away, Renie?”

“Let go. Let go of me…!”

“If you keep struggling, I might end up breaking those pretty ankles of yours.”

As if to warn her not to take his warning lightly, the man gently stroked the area around her ankle.

Ryuuzen Yuki is going to kill someone.... more>>

Specifically, the three corrupt figures in the television industry who mu*dered his childhood friend. The need for revenge burns deep in Yuki’s soul. He is only able to keep sane by clinging to his three self-imposed rules for revenge:

No matter what happens, act alone.

Do not involve anyone other than your targets.

If you fail, admit your crimes without complaint.

The stage for Yuki’s revenge will be Kakuriyo Island, a small tidal island south of Kagoshima Prefecture whose population was wiped out long ago in the bizarre mass-mu*der incident known as “The Beast of Kakuriyo Island case”. Though officially solved, the Beast of Kakuriyo Island is still the subject of many unsolved mysteries, not the least of which is the sheer, inhuman brutality of the crimes.

A television production crew comes to Kakuriyo Island to film a true crime special in which Mikumo Echika, an up and coming singer-songwriter and the descendant of the island’s former head priestess, will visit her family’s former home and discuss the incident that claimed her birthright. Yuki, having infiltrated the production as an AD, plans to trap them all and kill all three of his targets on the island with his own two hands.

But his plans are derailed when his first target is slain – by something else. Burning with rage that one of the men who killed Naoko will never suffer for his crimes, Yuki vows to confront both the killer and the remaining victims.

But his new enemy isn’t a mere human. The Beast of Kakuriyo Island is very real, and if Yuki seeks to achieve his revenge, he must learn what it is, how it operates… and how he can work around it and still manage to get away with mu*der.

My name is Lin Yuetian, 23 years old.... more>>

I come from a somewhat chaotic cyberpunk future world and am currently single. I work at a security company and return home punctually at 8 PM every day. I don’t smoke, I only drink lightly, and I go to bed at 11 PM, ensuring I get a full 8 hours of sleep each night. Before sleeping, I always drink a glass of warm milk and do 20 minutes of seated forward bends. Once I’m in bed, I fall asleep immediately and sleep soundly until morning, never letting fatigue or stress carry over to the next day. The 30 or so psychologists I’ve consulted all say I’m perfectly normal.

System: That’s enough, really.

I have a gentle personality, am friendly and reasonable, work diligently, and have excellent interpersonal relationships.

Also, though it may sound a bit arrogant, I know I’m very good-looking. Every morning when I leave the house, I attract at least four groups of cyberpunk-style villains. Naturally, I handle them all.

System: Shouldn’t you start introducing some objective details, my friend?

Ah, yes, I forgot to mention—I am a shark hand, a Gold Medal shark hand. For ten consecutive quarters, I’ve ranked first on the company’s zero-negative-review leaderboard. My goal in life is to earn more money, achieve financial freedom, and happily enjoy life. While I admit I’m incredibly outstanding, I only wish to live a peaceful life.

System: Ha!

I never imagined that after falling asleep, I would inexplicably wake up in various s*um Gong novels, with an extra system in my head—yes, the one who’s been chiming in during my self-introduction. He’s my colleague. Well then, System, why don’t you tell the readers what I need to do?

System: You need to make the s*um Gong fall for you and sincerely regret their actions—wait, what are you doing?

Sharpening my sword—oh, it’s just one of the tools I’ll need to complete my tasks. Don’t worry about me; I’ll make sure the s*um Gongs are both genuinely regretful and thoroughly dealt with.

This story solemnly promises: No s*um Gong will survive, and no innocent systems will be harmed in the process.

System: Ridiculous!!! Absolutely ridiculous!!!!

As a high-risk individual, Ye Sangsang received an invitation to the beta test of the holographic game “Criminal Files.”... more>>

As a game known for its high degree of freedom, high adaptability, and extremely realistic simulations based on real criminal cases, its beta release garnered significant attention.

As a condition of the beta test, she was required to livestream her gameplay.

Delicate, beautiful, and silent—these were the words often associated with Ye Sangsang.

As a game that had captured the nation’s high expectations, many were baffled when they saw Ye Sangsang.

This was quickly followed by ridicule.

“Someone like her playing from the criminal’s perspective? The victim would probably turn the tables on her.”

“Is she going in as an investigator? A beautiful but useless burden?”

“The victim escaping alive? Don’t make me laugh.”

But as the cases progressed, Ye Sangsang gradually left the audience in awe.

“The criminal!!! Oh no, lock her up, I’m terrified of how she kills!”

“Investigation? Come on, can you guys keep up with Sangsang’s pace?”

“The victim! Ahhh, what a bloody battlefield!”

The livestream chat, once filled with skepticism, eventually overflowed with admiration.

Some even began to suspect that she might actually be a high-intelligence criminal herself.

It wasn’t until later that Ye Sangsang’s holographic crime scene simulations helped solve one real-life case after another.

Audience: ???!!!

Ye Sangsang, facing the camera: Please note, I only perform once.

‘…o.’... more>>

The same voice, at the same time every night, rouses me from sleep. It’s that hazy boundary where my drowsy consciousness drifts against the sharp edge of an insomnia-laden subconscious.

‘…ont.’

I don’t know.

Whose voice is it? Who is he?

Whether it’s a hallucination, a memory, or a nightmare—he wakes me every night at the same time.

‘Don’t fall asleep!’

…!

At his command, I wake, drenched in cold sweat, struggling to peel back my hair clinging to my face like wet seaweed.

The time is 12:03 a.m., exactly 180 seconds past midnight.

In the dense darkness, where it’s impossible to tell whether my eyes are open or shut, the only thing I can do is count the sound of the ticking second hand.

One, two, three… up until the 3,599th, and then the 3,600th second.

Then, a soft, fading sound.

A subtle click, followed by the sense of something receding. The sound of the hallucination ending, or perhaps the sound signifying its end. At last, I feel a faint relief, leaning my bare, sweat-chilled body back against the damp sheets.

“…Can I sleep now?”

I asked, but there was no answer.

The lingering, chilling fear from that voice, and the confusion it draped over me like a shadow, finally began to mutate into something like sleep in the early hours of dawn. In the faint blue light, my eyelids slowly sank shut.

I was fifteen, around that time.

When my foster father was mu*dered, and my mother began to be devoured by schizophrenia.

That’s when my insomnia started.

Whether it was a hallucination, subconsciousness, or a nightmare, something would always wake me around midnight. <<less
