The first time Jiang Rou saw that man was in the interrogation room. He looked Desperate, silent and sinister. His fierce gaze and sarcastic smile on the corners of his mouth. Even at his forties with fine lines around his eyes, it can’t hide his handsome face. It's hard to imagine what he looked like when he was young. This person's name is Li Xiao, and the person that the police have been tracking for eleven years. This time, he allowed himself to be arrested; he no longer wanted to hide.... more>>

In the eyes of her parents and relatives, Jiang Rou had always been seen as a well-behaved and sensible child. The only rebellious thing she had ever done was secretly applying to the police academy when she entered university. However, after joining the academy, the heavy workload and intense training erased her initial longing for the police profession when she used to watch police dramas. She was even planning to take the civil service exam after graduation.

Jiang Rou's encounter with Li Xiao was purely coincidental, as she was assigned to intern in this case by the school. She thought it was just a fleeting episode in her ordinary life, something she would soon forget. Then she would proceed with her work, blind dates, marriage, and having children, following the expected course of life...

So she never expected that when she woke up one day, she would become the ex-wife of Li Xiao who had ran away with someone twenty years ago.

Jiang Rou sat on the bed, looking down at her round belly, and for a moment, she fell into silence.

Ye Mi went to the countryside for five years, and finally died of illness before the college entrance examination resumed.... more>>

Before she died, she realized that she was actually just a vicious cannon fodder in a book. The only function of her life was to frame the heroine to go to the countryside and create opportunities for the hero and heroine to meet each other.

Waking up again, she found herself reborn two years ago.

Looking back on the miserable days of not having a full meal for five consecutive years in her previous life, Ye Mi immediately packed herself up and found an honest man to marry, forgetting what her mother told her not to marry before she went to the countryside.

As long as she can have enough to eat, she will obediently be someone’s wife.

But life after marriage seems to be different from what she imagined?

The big chicken leg was dangling in front of his eyes, exuding a tempting aroma, Ye Mi salivated and s**ked his saliva.

“Want to eat?”

“Want to!”

“Memorize five texts before dinner.”

The scumbag Ye Mi reluctantly closed her eyes: “…deal!”

He intends to take responsibility for the girl’s reputation, so he will raise another younger sister. Unexpectedly, this little wife has a bad temper, is incapable of learning, and loves to study. This makes Jing Ziheng, who is a teacher in the village primary school, especially look down on her. There is no way, my wife teaches by herself, and the wife is still young, so she can always get it back after a break. <<less

The kingdom boasted a hero and formidable leader of the demon extermination force, Valen Rudwick. Amidst the chaos of battle, he tried to rescue a woman from a demon attack, only to be struck on the back of his head…... more>>

Unbeknownst to him, the woman he saved was not just any civilian but a succubus.

When Valen regained consciousness, he found himself not on the bloody battlefield but in a wedding hall within the demon realm.

“I am Argentine. And you are?”

“Do you think I’ll tell my name to a filthy demon like you?”

Weary from the prolonged wars, the demons proposed a political marriage to him. The absurd condition? It would last until Argentine, whom Valen saved, became pregnant with his child.

The idea of a child with demon blood repulsed him to the core. But pushed to his limits, Valen reluctantly agreed to their proposal.

“Let’s cease these charades and focus on what needs to be done. It’ll be better for both of us,” he growled.

“I want to give you time to accept…”

“Should I give not only my body but also my mind? Will that strengthen my ‘essence’?”

Valen was disgusted by the demons’ hypocrisy. He had intended to leave the demon realm as soon as the succubus bore a child.

“Whether you call for me or come to me, it’s up to you,” he said.

“…”

“I’ll do my da!mned best to give you my seed.”

Valen, the human warrior who despises demons, and Argentine, the demon king who sought peace through a child.

Can the demon realm truly find peace? <<less

Mo Fan was originally an online novel writer, staying up late every day to write and update his stories in order to receive rewards.... more>>

One day, inexplicably, he transmigrated into the world he had created in his own novel…

He had thought that he would become the protagonist, with a system and a ring protecting him, leveling up, fighting monsters, making friends with beautiful girls, and achieving great fame.

But the reality was far from his expectations. He didn’t become the protagonist or even the villain. And of course, he didn’t become an unparalleled powerhouse. To his disbelief, he had become the ancestor of a lowly side character in his own book who only lived for less than ten chapters. He became that character’s great-great-grandfather in his ring.

As the creator god of the entire Everfrozen Continent, Mo Fan knew very well that it wouldn’t be long before this inconspicuous early-stage minor villain would meet his end. And when that time came, Lin Yang would once again trample him underfoot, and the Mo family would become the laughingstock of Celesouth City. The Mo family would be completely wiped out!

Looking at his ethereal soul, thinking about the one and only resurrection material he had set up for himself, Mo Fan couldn’t help but say, “Sorry, Lin Yang, but I’m going to come back to life. Let my great-great-grandson take your destiny. As for the great-great-grandfather in the ring, you don’t need to live anymore. Let me live instead!” <<less

She was forced to marry the Emperor who killed her fiancé.

She could not refuse. The fate of her homeland was at stake.

“Do you still not understand your place? You are nothing more than a spoil of war. My trophy.”

A bed shared with an enemy. Unnatural obsession and distrust. Arrogant and oppressive demeanor. Blatant disregard and cold treatment.

Enduring all of this, she lived on with difficulty…

“Rather than seeing an heir from that woman, it might be better to kill her right now.”

Ysaris overheard these terrible words from her husband.

Now, there was only one choice left for her.

‘I have to run away.’

Even if just for the sake of her unborn child. <<less

“Just pretend to love me for a year. We’ll divorce once the year’s up.”

A year had passed after she’d promised to divorce him, who loves another woman. After making all the preparations, Ovlia sent her husband the divorce papers……

“It’s not an illness, Ma’am, you’re pregnant.”

Ovlia, who’d visited the hospital after weeks of continued nausea and discomfort, placed her hands on her still flat stomach.
It was her ex-husband’s child.

[Here’s the alimony. Since I don’t need this anymore, I’ll hand it over to you.]

That was what he thought, until he ceded the baronial estate that she so coveted and disappeared.

Hilia was sure she would be indifferent. About leaving the child, and about abandoning the man who brought her excitement.

“Mother, you don’t, hab to, lub, Riche. Riche gonna, only come, sometime. Riche will, lub you more……”

She was actually indifferent.

She would have been in the future, as well.

If only the dirt-covered child didn’t just appear out of nowhere after four years and told her such a thing.

“So……!”

Tears dripped down the child’s cheeks.

Hilia backed away from the child, who was running towards her with arms wide open.

She could not be a good parent, nor could she love anyone.

“My baby, there are things in the world you just can’t love.”

So, after leaving that single comment, she turned away.

Pretending not to notice the unfaltering gaze in front of her. <<less

Yet, remembering the harsh island life, he firmly declined.

But before he could send the rejection letter, the girl arranged for by his family had already arrived on the island with his subordinates, who jokingly called her "sister-in-law."

His mother was right; the girl was indeed beautiful — with skin like jade and eyes that sparkled.

"Hello, Comrade Jiang Shaoyu."

...

Dressed sharply in military uniform with cold and resolute features, he looked at her with polite rejection.

"Comrade Meng Yan, you still have a chance to change your mind. If you can't bear the island's conditions, I'll have my subordinates send you home."

Meng Yan looked at the vast blue sea behind him and the desolate land, clenched her fists, and declared firmly:

"No regrets. Comrade Jiang Shaoyu, I've made up my mind to be with you!"
