I ended up possessing the body of Hailey, a villainess who was destined to die soon.... more>>

What’s relatively fortunate, if you can call it that, is that she has one more year to live. However, there’s no time to relax as she’s unceremoniously dumped into a contaminated region below a canyon.

“I’m a possessor!

But wasn’t she supposed to die?

“Do you understand? If you cling to the past, you’ll twist your future into something you can’t recognize. That’s the wisdom left behind by the ancient sages.”

A year later, I’m still alive and farming.

* * *

Hailey, who I thought was just an ordinary (?) witch, was actually a genius.

She could control magic and she could purify zombies.

With talents too precious to waste, I decided to work a little harder:

“How much would it cost to buy everything you have?”

“Ah, uhmm, please let me live.”

During this time, I gained the nickname “Devil Marquess”. and started to attract beggars who regarded me like a child they could use:

“I’m not leaving!”

“Why not? Why on earth not?”

“We want to live by your grace, milady!”

I’m a devil marquess, so why aren’t you scared of me! <<less

It was spring break’s last day, and he was only a freshman. Still young, his stepmother had announced his eviction. Akito Iwaki was kicked out without a word of caution, and began scraping a living by himself.

However, scraping by was hard. He had to earn money for his tuition, his living expenses, and even rent. The bills led him to work at construction sites up until the dead of night.

His unhealthy, albeit necessary lifestyle encumbered him with severe sleep deprivation, which resulted in two sunken dark holes beneath his eyes. These blemishes caused Yuto Matsuyama, the school chairman’s son, to label him with the nickname “Disgusting Panda.” Not long after, he was prey to bullying.

Worn and sick of these cruel days, he contemplated dropping out. However, as he lay at the bottom of the barrel, his former stepsister and school Madonna, Saki Mizumoto, came to visit his shoddy apartment. She then pressed Akito to date her in exchange of his father’s bank book.

Chi Ya accidentally transverses into this world, becoming the scheming character with the same name. Touching his empty pockets and looking at the wealthy and handsome scoundrel who avoids him, he realizes: he's stuck in a script meant for a resigned, aimless life.

From then on, Chi Ya is genuinely kind to his true friends, deceitfully amicable with the scoundrel, making sure to keep him at a distance. He lives each day wildly, waiting for the moment his rival appears to graciously step aside.

Yet, he fails to notice the changing gaze of the eldest of the Gu family.

Gu Huai Zhang, a man of pure heart and few desires, has scorned the notion of "love" for thirty years, becoming known in the elite circles of City A as a formidable figure.

—Until his younger brother brought a handsome young man before him.

Gu Huai Zhang knows his brother doesn't love the young man, but the young man is deeply infatuated with him, trying every day to seduce him.

He watches coldly as the young man secretly smells clothes his brother wore, stealthily brushes his brother's leg under the table, and quietly sneaks to his brother's bed at night.

But...

The clothes were his, the legs under the table were his, and as for the bed...

Gu Huai Zhang falls silent as he watches the young man climb into his bed.

The effort is genuine, yet so naively executed.

So naive and yet so brazen, his brother probably couldn't handle him. Gu Huai Zhang thinks sternly.

—It seems he must take matters into his own hands. <<less

The little rabbit wasn’t willing to part with his soft and white fur, packing his little bundle, he was ready to escape at any time.

However the opportunity never came, and the little rabbit came across the little villain with crippled spiritual roots.

Alas, seeing that they would both be slaughtered by the protagonist in the future, he would just let him stay to have a meal.

Spoilers:
1. It's an urban supernatural story. The beginning deals with the first boss related to humans, the "Story King," so there's a mix of campus drama and melodrama. The story evolves into a world exploration mode, confronting dangers in different areas, including A+ and S-level anomalies. There are many face-slapping scenes, but it's not a straightforward power fantasy.

The characters include a "homophobic" cool guy as the receiver and a "drama king" as the aggressor. The synopsis is a tiny part of the story, completed in the 17th chapter. Both characters are a bit crazy; the receiver likes to hypnotize himself to be a good person, and the aggressor is a top-level actor with a deceptive personality. Don't relate any plot or character to reality. The author's main focus is on their romantic relationship. If you dislike any aspect of the characters, feel free to stop reading.

Unconventional life and past life elements make the story somewhat juvenile, and both main characters are overpowered. If you don't like the synopsis or the beginning, it's okay not to force yourself to continue. Thanks to those who recommend the story, but the author believes in maintaining a consistent level. So, if the story doesn't suit you, it's possible the next one might. Reading is subjective; your mood matters the most. The author loves this story and hopes both the writing and reading experience are enjoyable.

Emphasizing once again, if you don't enjoy the early parts, there's really no need to force yourself. It might just not be your cup of tea – whether it's the characters, writing style, or plot. Perhaps the next one I write will be more suitable for you. Reading is an extremely subjective experience, and your mood is the most important factor.

I really love this work, so I hope that I write happily and that everyone enjoys reading it. <<less

Zong Qi: ? tr*sh commercial, deleted

That night, he got pulled onto the set of a horror film and was informed that if he didn’t shoot it… He’ll die.

He was lucky that the actors were all working as hard as they could, and the director only needed to stand around and watch the show.

But because he had been given way too much, Zong Qi didn’t hesitate at all before making his own changes.

Under his false identity was an ‘evil mastermind’ that fought with the actors on everything.

Personally putting makeup on the ghost, teaching actors how to mess and change the script, exposing himself at crucial times…

The brush dipped in paint hooked past the young man’s neck, full of danger.

I thought my life might improve when I was later transferred to the South Korean Esper Center, commonly known as the 'K Esper Center.' But even there, I wasn't treated as a human. I was nothing more than a tr*sh can, collecting all the negativity. My human dignity crumbled. Both physically and emotionally, I was a receptacle for their waste.

As I began to forget who I was, my name, age, and even whether I was human, I made a choice for myself for the first time. I felt myself sinking as the blood drained from my body.

Just before closing my eyes for the last time, through the cracked door, I caught the horrified gazes of those watching.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back in the evaluation room where I was previously labeled a D-class guide. But this time, the result was different. I wasn’t a D-class, but an immeasurable class capable of ruling over them.

It would have been great if the esper I was supposed to guide was the person who saved me… But he too was an esper from the K Esper Center.
