Suddenly one day, Mariabelle’s fiancé Edward broke off their engagement, saying that he had found true love.... more>>

His new fiancé was Annette, a commoner who had charms that Mariabelle did not have.

However, Annette’s education as Crown Princess was not going well, and Mariabelle was asked to be her teacher.

“You are the most perfect lady of all.”

Edward had no ill intentions when he smiled and said that. He was just insensitive to people’s feelings.

After turning down the offer to be Annette’s teacher, Mariabelle was offered another marriage proposal.

But when Edward found out about it, he somehow pressured her to get back together with him...

“It’s too late to ask me to get back together now since you broke off our engagement after telling me you had found your true love!” <<less

The air around them quieted for a moment at the sound of Filina's voice.

Laura, who was standing beside her, looked at Filina with an astonished face.

Gabriel stared at her with a stern expression, and then quickly gave a twisted laugh.

"So you're finally going crazy.”

Filina, who raised the corner of her lips slightly as if she knew he would say that, whispered calmly.

"Father, I'm serious."

[Cecilia's Flower]

I had transmigrated into an R19 harem novel and possessed a villain.

Filina Debussy, who chose to do evil deeds and ended up being executed...

I managed to escape death, but before I knew it, I had already faced four deaths and was repeating my fifth life.

So I decided to make a different choice this time.

“I’ve been running away to avoid death, let's face it proudly this time.”

One way or the other, I was going to live a life of my own, no matter what.

I certainly was, but….

The Crown Prince, who had been showing a cold stare and a cold reaction, became impatient.

The mastermind who hid his painful past gave me a mysterious look.

And the timid heroine somehow started to cling to her relationship with me...

Tired of repeating my life, I just want to change the ending of death.

Even if it ends up killing people. <<less

The media in Pingcheng was buzzing with rumors that the cynical young master of the Liang family and the proud and willful young lady of the Ming family were engaged!... more>>

There were pictures to prove it.

In the photo, the young master of the Liang family was dressed sharply in a suit, with a frivolous and carefree expression. The young lady of the Ming family held his arm, with her dark hair and red lips, appearing gentle and charming.

They looked like a perfect couple.

In response, their friends laughed it off: With their bickering relationship since childhood, the feeling of mutual annoyance is almost overflowing from the screen. Even if they get married, they would still play their own way.

It wasn’t until their friends unexpectedly raided Liang Xian’s apartment–

–Liang Xian was casually standing at the door, wearing loose pajamas and holding a cigarette in his mouth, looking impatient and indifferent.

Before the friends could say anything, they saw a fair and tender hand reaching over from behind the man and wrapping around his waist.

The proud young lady had her eyes closed, rubbing against his arm, her sweet and soft voice sounding drowsy: “Who is it?”

Liang Xian raised his hand and gently touched her hair, his voice indifferent yet gentle, “Wrong door, go back to sleep.”

Friends: “???”

The cynical young master x the fair and beautiful little peacock

Before misery came knocking at the door, no one was more optimistic for a peaceful life than Xiao Lan Dan.... more>>

Without power or influence, life unfolded miraculously for the mediocre Princess.

Like a picture scroll coming to life, the capital's most talented scholar professed his love for her, promising a lifelong commitment and transforming her monotonous existence into a colorful explosion of fireworks.

However, the future she eagerly anticipated never came. Instead, she was met with a bitter end in the midst of an icy winter. She died alone in the heavy snow, bearing the heinous crime of killing her Father Emperor.

Death finally revealed the truth.

Who was the one who smiled with coldness yet carried fiery passions? The one who seemed gentle yet bore grudges? And the one who was willing to abandon love and family for the sake of power?

Although unpredictable, fate had never been senseless. Pure love persevered, while foolishness and heartlessness led to a meaningless existence. <<less

The embarrassing thing is that it was him who drove those four out of his sect to make them independent.

But one day he had an incident and lost his cultivation. His life was hanging by a thread. Wandering around, he walked into his third disciple’s territory.

System: As long as you complete five scum gong elimination missions, you can retire.... more>>

The first is a school bully at the Royal Military Academy. To vent the protagonist Shou’s anger, he will have you disabled.

The second is the “white cut black*” Imperial Academy Taifu. To vent the protagonist Shou’s anger, he will have you drop out of school.

The third is a capitalist who is extremely wealthy and holds the lifeline of the global economy. For the protagonist Shou, he will have your family go bankrupt.

The fourth is a well-known interstellar medical scientist who saves you from water and fire and cures your disabilities. But in fact he accepted you for the protagonist Shou to use as a human experiment.

The fifth is the emperor of the empire, who has the power to overturn the whole world is interested in you and wants to take advantage of you, but after falling in love with the protagonist Shou, he throws you into the cold palace…

Shan Weiyi: Alright, I see, have them come all at once.

System: ?

Shan Weiyi: I want to eliminate five at a time, understand?

System: You may not quite understand the difficulty of the retirement task. In addition to starting as a cannon fodder to eliminate the scum gongs, you also need to deal with the challenge of “the protagonist shou”. They are played by the quick transmigration commissioners holding the script of the protagonist in hand, entering the small world before you, gaining the favorability of the Scum Gong first, and will try their best to prevent you from completing the task. In other words, you not only have to face five scumbag gongs, but also five Mary Sues…

Shan Weiyi: I understand.

System: What do you understand?

Shan Weiyi: I have to fight ten.

In the summer of 1992, Shan Ming was injured during a mission and got separated from his teammates. He was lost in the vast and horrifying primitive forest on the China-Myanmar border.... more>>

Relying on his rich experience in wildlife survival, he still holds absolute confidence in his ability to escape from difficulties.

However, it took him double the time expected to escape from this devil’s land.

The reason was that he accidentally picked up a creature that should’ve never appeared in this place – a child – a little Chinese boy.

On a whim, Shan Ming picked up the child from the gates of death. As a result, he changed the fate of two people, or perhaps even more.

The untraceable plane crash, the numerous crises faced by the mercenary group, the suspicions and sacrifices among the members of the group, and the ice-thin relationship with the government organization.

The fear-stricken “National Weapon” project, the legendary and tragic fate of the “Dragon Blood Kins”.

Huge conspiracies were hidden behind the seemingly ordinary missions and everything seemed to be connected with the child’s mysterious identity.

His appearance dragged Shan Ming and his mercenary group step by step into irreparable doom…

Ahem, the text above is sort of tricky. Let’s try a more relaxed version:

Due to a plane crash, a five-year-old (human?) shota got lost in the primitive forest on the China-Myanmar border. He was forcibly raised by a Chinese member of an international mercenary group.

Since falling into the hands of this inhuman mercenary, the shota has completely bid farewell to his delicate childhood and begun his painful ripening.

When other five-year-old shotas were acting mushy gushy in their mothers’ arms, he had been forced to learn how to shoot a headshot.

When other seven-year-olds were held in the palm of their parents’ hands, he had to solo the pe*verted killer who lusted after him.

When other ten-year-olds were still innocently crushing on their female deskmate, he had already followed his foster father, who had no lower limit to his morality, into and out of the colorful brothels in Las Vegas.

After being under the influence of his foster father for a long time, the naive little shota finally became abnormal…

So this is the story of a delicate young master who has been bullied and cruelly trained since childhood.

One who eventually grew up to be a black-bellied cold-blooded mercenary and successfully overpowered his despicable foster father that always treated him like reserve food and ordered him around like a dog. <<less

Huo Du, the Crown Prince of the country Qi, looked like a banished immortal but has a disability in his right leg. He has a sly and ruthless personality with insanely evil behavior.

Just sewing it took three whole months, shipping it, another one. Hmph, a hundred silvers? That's not even enough to buy the sleeves of my coat!" <<less
