The demon king was summoned from Japan to fight off the hero. After a long grueling fight he finally won against the hero. But something strange happened. After he had defeated but not killed the hero the holy sword floated up and stabbed the hero in the chest and then immediately disappeared. And this isn’t the only time it happened. Every hero after that that wielded the holy sword was killed by it immediately after the hero lost to the demon king.... more>>

The demon king was heartbroken upon witnessing this

He tried different ways to save the heroes from their fate.

He tried destroying the sword but that was impossible.

He tried stealing the sword but it always kept disappearing.

He tried telling the heroes the truth about the sword but most won’t believe him.

And those that did believe him were immediately killed by the sword.

The demon king watched this go on for nearly 500 years repeatedly. And with each hero he defeat he gets stronger and stronger to the point where no hero can beat him anymore. He had gotten so powerful that the holy sword can’t even harm him anymore.

He had given up on life and tried to kill himself. But he had already gotten so strong he had achieved pseudo-immortality and even he couldn’t kill himself.

So for 500 years he was continually tormented by that sword. The sword took everything from him.

It took his friends, his family,and his lovers.

And so the demon king sits in an empty castle in seclusion waiting for the next hero to come to their death.

Until one day a young hero girl came to his castle….. without the holy sword.

She was apparently a newly summoned hero that wasn’t deemed worthy by the sword.

This was the happiest moment of the demon King’s life <<less

Strict and cool/ gentle yet reserved Shizun!Shou... more>>

To raise a villain well and prevent their fall, you must start early on.

As an unlucky shizun that was killed by his student who turned into the corrupted villain, Gu Ruochen who had transmigrated into this world decided to—

Bring the villain back home while he was still in his harmless kitten form.

Having learned from past mistakes, he patiently guided the villain from a young age, spoiling and coaxing him, not allowing him to suffer any pain. (Well, maybe a little.)

The protagonist has the ultimate core, and the villain can't steal it? This shizun will give it to him! (He really did.)

The protagonist had some secret techniques, but the villain couldn’t have them? This shizun will give it to him! (Secretly, of course.)

The protagonist has an affectionate relationship with him, and the villain also wants some affection? Shizun:...

Gu Ruochen: "You can't be affectionate with me."

The young man blinked pitifully at him.

Gu Ruochen couldn't resist, closed his eyes, sighed, took a deep breath.

"…Just a little affection."

And so, he received a billion kisses.

Finally, as he watched the Demon Lord become a cute and affectionate little thing, cooing for attention and sending flowers every day, Gu Ruochen felt particularly satisfied.

But who knew that this unrepentant disciple had already regained the memories of their previous life?

He acted spoiled but his gaze was filled with love and hatred at the same time.

"Shizun can't get angry."

Suddenly, Yu Yang smiled, his voice sweet and sinister.

"No matter what I do, Shizun must always pamper me, obey me, and spoil me."

"You can never refuse me. Got it?"

Bonus scene: The irritable Demon Lord is a double-standard dog—

After fighting with Shizun, he hugged Gu Ruochen from behind.

"Shizun, don't ignore me. Your disciple is obedient now."

After fighting with others, Yu Yang stepped on Fenxi's face.

"Why didn’t you obey my orders, hmm?"

Everyone in society knew that Yu Yang was ruthless.

After he transmigrated, Ye Shuo became the Ninth Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty.... more>>

His mother was the most favoured Imperial Concubine, and his grandfather was the Duke Zhen who had massive troops under him; his birth immediately made him one of the three most popular candidates in fighting for the throne, even overshadowing the Crown Prince.
The most important thing was, even his mother shared the same desires in competing for the throne.

A favoured concubine + Military power + an Emperor in the prime of his life; at first glance, this kind of arrangement already meant its upcoming doom was near. Not only that, he still had eight more elder brothers above him filled with ambitions.
Eight older brothers, and each one of them outstanding on their own.

Ye Shuo thought about it for a while, then closed his eyes and kicked his feet; whoever wanted to ascend this throne should just do it.

So what if they became the Emperor? There wasn't any Internet, not even electricity, as well as any games; even if he became the Emperor, the toilets still couldn't flush on its own.
As he had no desires to fight for it, just like that, the royal Ninth Prince who was treasured like gold and jade grew up to be an infamous dandy.

They had to go to the study room before dawn? So that's why the probability of children dying young was high; he definitely won't go.
Being a subject first then only a person? Even if he is the Emperor, wasn't he still his father？

At first, the Crown Prince and everyone else thought that this brother of theirs was just keeping a low profile while biding his time, only till that time when he was eight years old and still continued being carried on his father's back to class did they finally realized, that child was done for.

In the past, the current Emperor was always threading over thin ice, carefully maintaining his position as a son for thirty years before he finally ascended the throne. After taking the throne, his sons now were just like the previous him during those years before; until the birth of the Ninth Prince, that was the first time the Emperor met a child like him.

But for some reason that even he didn't know of, the Emperor was instead very invested in his young son; even if there were more children born after, he was still less attentive towards them than him.

More than ten years went by, conflicts started to arouse in court, feuds amongst brothers appeared, times were changing; and yet only Ye Shuo continued to remain the same.

Nobody could expect that, the new Emperor would pass away three years after he took the throne, only leaving behind his one and only child as heir. With painstaking efforts and great difficulty, Ye Shuo finally supported his brother's only child to the throne; however, he only took away his attention for a moment and just like that, the child was gone.

The imperial clan didn't have anyone left; and could only let this Imperial Uncle of him to inherit the throne.
During his time as the Emperor's uncle, he was only twenty six years old.

Ye Shuo: "..."

The day of his enthronement, when they thought back of how the previous Ninth Prince and the current Ninth Imperial Uncle hadn't even graduated from primary school; the ministers couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with grief, and almost made the Hall of Supreme Harmony overflown with tears.

Their Great Zhou Dynasty, was going to end.

Seeing how the Ninth Prince after becoming the Emperor continued with his out of sorts behaviour, everyone including the Imperial Tutor had already made preparations to be annexed by the two countries around them.

What they didn't expect was after a year, the country was still stable.

Three years went by, the common people no longer suffered from any hunger.

After five years, natural disasters started to appear, Ye Shuo took the oppurtunity to send out troops, and then annihilated the two countries.

Looking at this unified territory before them, the courtiers couldn't believe their eyes.

Who would've thought that in Ye Shuo's previous life, he was actually a genius. <<less

The main character found himself on an unfamiliar bed.... more>>

There was a strangely noisy maid beside him, and he was sure it was a dream, but the moment he heard the name the maid called him, he awoke at once.

The reason was that the name the maid called the main character was the name of the former strongest character in the story, who was forcibly weakened for the sake of the author’s convenience for the future story of a certain novel.

"H’ow do I look?”

Moreover, that character’s weakening event was also a dark fall event.

That’s why the despairing main character asked the maid nearby what he looked like.

"that's the ‘Worse."
