If waste were to be reborn, could it become completely new?... more>>

Pei Yunshu still sees himself as worthless; he has only become smarter and no longer seeks what he can’t attain. He calmly watches as his master picks up a junior brother who will receive the love of the entire sect, and he patiently waits for everyone to go crazy for the junior brother.

He no longer wishes to contend with the junior brother, nor does he yearn to become the most favored one in the sect. When his master and senior brothers treat him kindly, he repays them one by one, so as to avoid becoming like his past self, who was criticized and looked down upon with every word and sentence.

In the past, there was an overwhelming worldly aura, but now, with a rebirth, even a hint of that worldly scent is almost gone.

Senior brothers and the newly arrived Junior Brother were worried about Pei Yunshu. Finally, one day, they forcibly took him down the mountain to drink.

After two bowls of strong liquor, Pei Yunshu’s eyes were slightly red, his face flushed, and a clear and round teardrop slid down, falling into the wine bowl.

Silently shedding tears, it was truly a boundless beauty.

From that day on, the whole sect is acting strange. <<less

Lu Qi had a naturally soft temperament. He only lost his temper once in more than twenty years, and that was when he sent his ex-boyfriend to the hospital.... more>>

Because his ex-boyfriend had a white moonlight, and when he couldn’t get what he wanted, he used him as a substitute.

It was said that the white moonlight was gentle and kind, and even his name was as soft as a little white flower, a Mary Sue. Lu Qi was 80% similar to him. 30% similar in looks, and 50% similar in temperament.

Then, Lu Qi really saw the legendary white moonlight.

The man was sitting at the intersection of light and shadow. He had a handsome profile and a tall, straight figure. His long legs were crossed, his black shirt had two buttons open at the collar, and the hair falling over his forehead covered his eyebrows. When he looked up, his eyes were narrow like those of a fox, with the dazzling lights and shadows of the bar gleaming in them.

Lu Qi hesitated for a long time, and while the scumbag was going to the bathroom, he cautiously walked over and warned him that there might be something wrong with the drink he just drank.

The white moonlight held his chin and chuckled, looking Lu Qi up and down with his charming eyes. “Is that so? He did something to the wine?”

Lu Qi blinked, feeling that they looked nothing alike. The scumbag might have a problem with his eyes.

The white moonlight walked straight toward the scumbag, and Lu Qi found that the white moonlight was even half a head taller than him. Then the white moonlight, who was said to be weak and defenseless, raised his long leg and kicked the scumbag in the waist and sent him flying.

Well, Lu Qi thought, they still had some similarities. For example, they both kicked the scumbag in the same spot.

. . . . . .

When he was a boy, Mu Nanqiao disguised himself as a little white rabbit in order to protect himself.

He pretended to be gentle, kind, and soft.

He watched with cold eyes as some idiot used despicable means to approach him in disguise. That idiot still thought he had deep feelings for him.

How could there be a pure soul in this world?

In the end, the idiot actually found one.

And he sent that person to Mu Nanqiao.

He was not a rabbit, but a deer. His eyes were crystal clear, and when he lost his temper, he would use his antlers to hit people.

So cute. Mu Nanqiao ran his tongue across his canine teeth and wanted to take the deer back to the fox’s den. <<less

I will no longer try to kill myself.

Kalia Estelle, the cursed daughter of a count, had spent her entire life trying to be loved.

She had done everything to prove that she was different from her mad father, who killed their people and burned their land.

But all she achieved was the accusation of being the “devil’s daughter.”

The day before she came of age, Kalia made up her mind.

She would no longer seek cheap affection.

She wouldn’t sacrifice her soul for a fleeting love.

And if there was a next life, she wouldn’t seek love again.

As her consciousness faded and her breathing became labored, she suddenly found herself transported back five years to the past.

* * *

“I love you.”

I hesitated and backed away as Claude approached me.

But my back was against the wall, and before I knew it, he was standing right in front of me.

“Kalia.”

He peered through the small gap between his fingers that covered his face, carefully watching my reaction.

Despite his disheveled appearance, he was radiant at the moment.

He kneeled down and gently took my trembling right hand, making me feel as if this had all been a dream.

His lips touched the back of my dry hand.

“Just as you showed me the light and opened a new life for me, I want to do the same for you.”

Beneath his long, thick lashes, his eyes were filled with an unfamiliar emotion.

“You know why I live. Kalia, please let me love you.” <<less

Nie Jia lived his life with kindness and respect, yet all his actions were paid back with the cold grey walls of prison. Inside the bars, he vowed that if he ever had another life, he would be a complete villain! Beast! Scoundrel!... more>>

One day, he actually transmigrated.

System: As a villain, you have to be courageous enough to burden the task of initiating trouble, destroying the world and creating chaos. It’s an incredible responsibility, do you understand?

Nie Jia: I understand. I’ll definitely use everything I have to complete the mission tasks so everyone will die!

System: No, no….you’re the only one who will die.

Since then, Nie Jia rode away upon the road of a great villain, but every time he went close to destroying the world and completing his goal, he was always defeated by this thing called “The Protagonist’s Halo”.

Lin An, plagued by severe social anxiety and obsessive cleanliness, rarely ventured outside, preferring to spend his days indoors, shopping via his smartphone and ordering takeout. As the apocalypse descended, his frail body inevitably succumbed to the virus, transforming him into a zombie. ... more>>

First Attempt: The irrational, starving zombie Lin An, driven by a bloodthirsty frenzy, screeched as he opened the door. Outside, the scene was gruesome with bloodstains everywhere, scattered remains of gnawed limbs, and various items dropped in haste by those fleeing. Quietly, he closed the door.

Second Attempt: Hearing human voices outside, the famished zombie Lin An opened the door again, ready to pounce on his prey. Upon opening the door, he locked eyes with five residents stealthily scavenging for supplies. Intimidated by their five pairs of terrified, piercing stares, Lin An quietly shut the door again and hid himself inside a cabinet.

Third Attempt: Finally, hunger triumphed over his social anxiety and cleanliness fixation. Wearing a mask and gloves, he stepped outside. In the neighborhood, he found fresh ‘food’, happily dragged it home, cleaned it thoroughly, and prepared for a hearty feast. <<less

Born as a hybrid, I was abused by my maternal grandfather because I was a useless child who didn’t inherit any abilities from my dad’s family, and ended up dying.... more>>

I returned to the past with my memories, but my options weren’t so different from the past.

I’ll either live like this and be abused to death just like in my previous life, or I’ll go to my dad who hates me.

‘I don’t want to die again.’

Eventually I went to my dad who hated me, with a locket in my hand that would prove me to be the daughter of the Black Leopard family.

“Let me…let me stay here.”

All I asked for is protection until I became an adult. Then, when I was old enough to live alone, I was going to go out and live without causing trouble. Because I was going to be a good kid this time.

But, somehow…

“My beloved daughter, if there is anyone who touches you, I will kill them immediately.”

My father, who I thought hated me, was so sweet to me.

“Hey, Perfi, don’t keep hugging Thiel. At this time of year, I heard that girls are very delicate.”

“Where did you learn that s*upid theory? Thiel likes to hug.”

The two brothers who I thought were scary like me so much.

“Thiel, I’m going to hand you over the head position of this Black Leopard family.”

My paternal grandfather suddenly tells me that he is handing over his position to me.

Hey …didn’t everyone hate me? <<less

When Jiang Xiao was nineteen, he accidentally dug a dirty and penniless Lin ChengYu out of the tr*sh and fell in love with him at first sight. He accompanied Lin ChengYu through hard times, and gave him warmth for the next fifteen years until he finally became successful.... more>>

By rights, he should have been the white moonlight of Lin ChengYu’s heart. It turns out that he was just a supporting role. Successful people can be callous. When Jiang Xiao fell ill and died in a hospital bed, Lin ChengYu never came to see him even once.

Jiang Xiao after rebirth: F**k this love.

He learned that in this world, aside from the knowledge in his head and the money in his pocket, everything else is unreliable. Now all Jiang Xiao wants is to study hard, earn money seriously, and become a common, ordinary rich man, academic tyrant, and local tycoon.

Lin ChengYu: QAQ, baby look at me! I’m rich, too. I’ll give you all my money and my life!

Jiang Xiao (slowly backing away): Thanks, but I don’t seem to know you.

#Now that I have money, my pursuers are lined up from here to France, who the hell are you?#

【Lin ChengYu, president of YongJiang Group, is well-known in the industry as a single, rich, and handsome man. The outside world thought that he was a cold, sexually indifferent orphan. Only a few people knew that he was just doing his best to hang on until a certain person turns his head.

In the novel, apart from a protagonist who occupies all the heavenly fortune, the essential was the powerful tragic villains. They were either amazing or powerful, but due to the crazy obsession with the protagonist, they became paranoid and insane, and finally became the villain that everyone hated.... more>>

The authors abused their bodies and their hearts. There was no place to take root and no place to be buried. In the end, they became bitter in life. They did not see the light of day, they were not loved, and they did not know any sweetness. The world hated them, shunned them, and showed them no kindness.

The readers cried a lot and begged the author to give them a good ending and not abuse them. But the unscrupulous authors said: villains, of course, the more miserable the better, the more bitter the better, the more ruthless the better. It is better to break an arm and a leg.

#The worse the readers cry, the happier I am#

However, perhaps because the readers’ resentment was too great, one day these unscrupulous authors suddenly found themselves bound to a system.

System: Please save them.

Authors: Who?

System: Your villains.

Authors: What?!

System pulled things out of his pocket: Come on, this disfigured villain is yours, this villain with a broken leg is yours, and this crazy villain is being criticized…

After clearing the [Last Dungeon], Lee Danwoo died. The sword pierced his throat, and the ceiling collapsed, leaving no one alive.... more>>

But he opened his eyes again and returned to before the arrival of the [End].

In the first attempt to conquer the [Last Dungeon], Cha Woowon died and Lee Danwoo managed to escape alone… What did he wish for?

“Are you okay? You’re covered in cold sweat.”

The young Cha Woowon, who didn’t know Lee Danwoo, spoke. Lee Danwoo nodded weakly.

“You’re crying.”

‘I know.’

He had plenty of regrets.

The most regrettable thing was before it all began,

Lee Danwoo returned.

* * *

“A monster is about to trample thirty people in front of us. If you intervene, you’ll die, but they can survive. What will you do?”

Without hesitation, Cha Woowon answered Lee Danwoo’s question.

“Stopping it seems like the right judgment.”

‘This guy is a good bastard…’

More urgent than strategy or anything else, there was a pressing issue.

Why did Cha Woowon die in the [Last Dungeon]?

Without a doubt, it was his good personality that was the problem.

This time, Lee Danwoo would save him.

By tearing apart his righteous human nature. <<less

In this life, I will live for you.

“You shouldn’t have crossed this line, Elisha, if you didn’t want it to be like this.”... more>>

A sturdy arm wrapped around her swaying body. Her head became hazy and an intentional hot sweet sigh was pulled out of her.

‘How the hell did I get myself in this situation—’

Elisha recalled. This never happened before.

‘Yeah, I remember.’

Her future in which she would become the fake concubine to a demonic man from the same family, and would be eaten to death—even down to her bone marrow. A future in which the Cartier ducal family is embroiled in a power struggle and fragmented.

To avoid that future, Elisha threw herself at Lucerne, the archrival of her former life.

Yeah. There was no problem. She knew this man, before and after her regression. She already knew he was the most notorious maniac in the Empire.

20-year-old Elisha owes 30,000 gold coins (about 15 billion won in Korean currency or around 15 million in USD).

After going back in time, in order to avoid a hellish life because of debt, she becomes the most capable illegitimate child in the world and visits Lucerne, the archenemy of her master.

“What do you want from me?”

“Please lend me some money. And… make me your subordinate. I’ll give you all the information I have.”

“Why should I trust you?”

“I’ll give myself up as collateral.”

Lucerne listened to Elisha and watched her quietly.

“Okay. But I decide how to deal with the collateral.”

“…….”

“First of all, marry me.”

“…… huh?”

Elisha didn’t expect it either. That her information transaction would become a marriage contract. <<less

Eating, drinking and whoring — since his banishment to the Nanjing Ministry of War, these had become Xie Yilu’s entire life. In this lawless age, scholars and Eunuch Faction sycophants clawed at each other’s throats and each grand chamberlain wielded more power and influence than the last. As someone who could not master the arts of flattery and bootlicking, Xie Yilu’s only wish was to be a conscientious minor official.

Yet who knew that in such chaotic times, one could still encounter written confessions that sung out in a voice as fresh as the light of dawn?

Plum blossoms are but fleeting visitors; only pines will be one’s constant companions.

Xie Yilu had fantasised about such a person, but he could never have imagined that this confidant like an immortal ascended from the dust of worldly affairs was actually him?!

Shen Suian unexpectedly transmigrates into a dog-blooded BL novel and becomes the doomed white moonlight sought after by four scummy suitors who end up empty-handed.... more>>

He tore up the script, adopted an affectionate persona to infiltrate the Imperial Marshal's residence, spending his days leisurely drinking tea, basking in the sun, gently teasing the vegetative lion who was in a deep coma, and amusing the warrior orphans adopted by Gu's family—a group of fluffy cubs. Life was surprisingly carefree.

As a result, one day, the vegetative lion suddenly woke up, not only recovering human form but also cornering him against the wall.

The man had a handsome face, a robust physique, and the long-standing dominance that exuded a strong oppressive aura.

At this moment, however, his brows were furrowed, eyes lowered, unexpectedly emitting a sense of pitifulness. "When I was unconscious, you kept saying you liked me the most. Now that I've finally awakened, why are you only playing with those little cubs?"

Shen Suian: "..."

Accidentally overhearing the humanized lion discussing marriage proposals, Shen Suian was thunderstruck and frightened, prompting him to flee overnight.

A few days later, there was a knocking sound at the door. The big lion sat obediently, wearing a sign around its neck: "Homeless, seeking adoption."

Seeing that Shen Suian remained unmoved, it silently lay down, its tail hooking onto Shen Suian's hand, pressing against its soft belly.

The wooden sign flipped over, revealing another line of words: "Touched the belly, you must take responsibility."

Shen Suian: Hey, Empire Police, there's a lion trying to scam me here!

There were women approaching me, who had decided to die.

Ever since he was a child, Ah Yuan has constantly heard from the elders in the clan that ginseng spirits like them cannot run away once they are bound with a red rope.

The clothes of the little beauty were lifted up, revealing his round belly that was full from eating fried chicken as he happily slept.

Mu Qi: “…”

Later, Mu Qi discovered that raising a small ginseng spirit was more troublesome and costly than raising a partner. He thought he should just find an auspicious day and use it to make wine.

An auspicious day has been found… Eh no no, he’s too cute. Let’s just pamper it.
