As part of the imperial family, every move by Chu Yuan in this game of chess is made with apprehension, fearing that with a moment of inattentiveness, the whole match will be lost in a single move.... more>>

Ascending to the throne at eighteen, not half a year passes before civil strife erupts in Yun Nan. Though the thoughts of the old guard at the imperial court are not exactly identical, they are all waiting to see how the new emperor will put an end to this.

Unexpectedly, before this side could make a move, a few thousand miles away, the King of Xi Nan, Duan Bai Yue, had already personally commanded troops to attack in all directions; not half a year had passed when peace was restored.

Sparse moonlight shines into the palace; Chu Yuan stamped the wax seal himself, and had a secret letter sent urgently to Yun Nan 800 miles away — this time, what must we(1) give in exchange?

Brush marks passed through the back of the paper; it almost can be seen, when writing this line, how angry the young emperor was.

Duan Bai Yue spread out a piece of paper unhurriedly, replying with only one word.

You.

Note (1): Chu Yuan is using the royal ‘we’ here.

For some reason, Shao Qian devoured half of the system that tried to devour his soul after tricking him into completing missions in worlds where he was horribly humiliated.... more>>

Since he didn't feel like returning to his original world anymore, he decided to return to the worlds of which he had the coordinates and retaliate against them!

But…….

Why is it that every world seems not quite right?

Could it be the method he used to cross through the worlds was wrong?

People who deal with demons generally don't have much of a conscience. They are ruthless, willing to sacrifice everything in the world for power and profit. But Li Ke feels that he should have some conscience.... more>>

Whether it's building skyscrapers for people in the medieval age, letting knights who raise sheep buy weaving machines, allowing elves to play in the entertainment industry and live stream sales, summoning succubi as hotel attendants, using the Burning Legion and fel energy to destroy garbage, or allowing orcs to earn fried chicken and watermelon through their labor, all these actions reflect his conscience.

Even though he sacrifices, makes deals with demons, summons the undead, conspires differently with royal members and nobles, and even has ill intentions towards the dragons that guard the world, he still feels that he has a conscience.

"At least I haven't been hung on a lamppost, right?"

Man Bao used her “system” and led her family to open up the wasteland, grow vegetables, plant medicinal materials, and open shops…

As the days got better, her sisters-in-law began to worry about Man Bao’s marriage.

“Man Bao, Mr Zhuang’s grandson looks good. He is gentle and educated. He is a good match for you.”

“Man Bao, it’s better to choose the Qian family’s son. He is handsome and obedient. He will definitely not talk back to you.”

Man Bao pursed her mouth and smiled, “I’ve already thought about it. I’ll choose Bai Shan Bao, whom I have beaten up since childhood!” <<less

[Just as your birth brought me no emotion, your death will also hold no meaning to me.]... more>>

Reincarnated as Jaina, a tragic supporting character born as a half-human, half-dragon hybrid who is neglected and meets a miserable end.

She is branded as an abomination and abandoned in a Magic Tower by the dragon tribe.

And there, she meets her father for the first time, Diamid, the Lord of the Magic Tower.

As described in the original work, he seems to feel not an ounce of intimacy towards his daughter, merely looking at her with a cold gaze.

“Is this the one who they claim to be my daughter?”

Jaina trembled at the measuring gaze that drew close.

“Blue eyes… But that’s not proof that you’re my daughter.

You could have brought me a child you had with another human.”

And so Diamid leaves her and departs.

Jaina, left to reside in a shabby storage room in the Magic Tower, rather than making futile efforts to gain the favor of her father, the Tower Lord, decides to indulge in small luxuries she never experienced in her past life until her death…

“You don’t have to think of me as your daughter. I also won’t call you father, Tower Lord.”

“…”

“Tower Lord?”

But, the father who should be indifferent slowly starts to show signs of obsession?

Father, can’t you just leave me be? <<less

The little prince of the Empire suddenly became a mermaid. Since the fish’s tail appeared, he had been hiding it carefully.... more>>

Until he was hit in the head by a book, he foresaw an unknown (fake) plot—

In the book, he was gloomy and vicious. In order to obtain the throne, he didn’t hesitate to hook up with the youngest and most promising major general of the Empire and ruthlessly abandoned him after his success. Later, he was driven off the throne and locked up by the vengeful major general. He not only exposed his fishtail but also conceived the major general’s cub?!

Little prince: ??? He wouldn’t be with him even if he was cut into fish fillets!

Later, he really became pregnant with the major general’s cub…

-----------

Yue Zhan was the youngest and most promising major general of the Empire. One day, he could suddenly hear the voice of the little prince and found that the other party seemed to have been ‘reborn’.

Little Prince: tr*sh Yue Zhan, even went as far as treason, bah.

Yue Zhan: ?

Little Prince: That Dog Yue even dared to lock me up and also grabbed my fishtail!

“I ask with all my heart. Please marry me.”... more>>

After his tragic death, the sidekick Prince Renato regressed to the past. He approached the Khan Kingdom’s diplomatic ambassador, grand prince Khalid, who helped him in his life before regression, to change the future.

Renato offered a contractual marriage with good conditions, and Khalid finally agreed to the marriage after much deliberation, but……

“I hate complicated things like a contract or a deal. So please let me ask you just one question.”

Renato’s answer at this moment would change everything. Khalid fixed his gaze on Renato and opened his mouth with a more serious expression than usual.

“Do you need my help?” <<less

I was reincarnated into a wretched harem story with no dreams or hopes, when the heroine died for some reason.... more>>

The shock of the original story being destroyed disappeared after a while.

My older sisters then started to get involved with the male leads.

The playful and obsessive emperor found my eldest sister, who was mature and affectionate.

The blunt and strongest swordsman in the Empire matched with my cheerful second sister.

Meanwhile, my cynical youngest sister was paired with the playboy Head of the Magic Tower.

And me? I’m only six years old, so I’m not allowed to have a love interest.

Anyway, my sisters got along well with the male leads and held their weddings. But…

“Liliana. Call me ‘Oppa’.”

My youngest brother-in-law tried to win me over with splendid illusion magic and asked me.

“Am I your favorite brother?”

My second brother-in-law, the swordmaster, carried me on his shoulders and coaxed in a whisper.

“Liliana. As my youngest sister-in-law, you will live in the Imperial Palace and be treated like a princess.”

My eldest sister nodded nonchalantly upon hearing the Emperor’s declaration.

But I only want to go back to the time when I lived with my sisters and there were just the four of us? <<less

I had possessed the body of the pretty bottom in a 19+ BL novel.... more>>

“I like you.”

Where the male lead turned villainous, threatening to bring about the end of the world. A hopeless place.

“I’m serious.”

To prevent him from going mad, I tried to differ from the original story.

In the original story, his craziness stemmed from the pretty bottom’s complete disregard for him.

So, I confessed first.

Expecting to be rejected.

“I have someone else I like.”

“Yeah, I know.”

In the original story, his confession was brutally trampled upon by me, leading to him turning into a villain.

“I’m a guy too. And so are you.”

“I know that. I just wanted to say it.”

I was relieved knowing he would reject me.

“Can we still be friends?”

He frowned and then sighed before answering.

“Huh.”

I smiled wistfully in relief.

Because I was turned down.

“This is my fiance.”

“What do you mean engagement between men?”

When he questioned me in confusion, I cheerfully responded.

“Actually, I’m a woman.”

I assumed it would be okay since he had rejected me countless times before.

“What?”

The moment I saw the surprise in his eyes, I realized something was terribly wrong.

The vivid madness flickering in his gaze was something I had never seen before. <<less

I’m the villainess who ruined the country?!... more>>

I became a saintess, the protagonist of a devastating R19 novel.
There are already rumours that her personality is garbage, and there are many things that she did, but I think I will be able to live somehow if I fix it from now on.

"I'm sorry for what I've done all this time. Pink, no, Iros."
"But I still like it. When the saintess calls me pink."
“Huh?”
“I’m a crawling dog that will strip anytime as long as the saintess tells me to.”
“…Huh?”

Even if something goes wrong, it seems that it had gone wrong for a long time.
Iros, the last remaining guardian of the saint, didn't you hate me?

“Sierra, what do you think? Wouldn't I be better than the temple sword that couldn't get married even if he was placed next to you?”
“Your chest muscles are excellent and your face is commendable, but your highness, the crown prince, I don't want to date.”

Was it not enough to ruin the country, but how can I date a man who said he will kill me?
I'm not that conscientious.

"Saintess, rather than being the Crown Prince, I—“
"Sierra, I'll be more gentle at night as a guardian rather than a wooden stone—".
"Both of you aren't safe, so stop following me!"

Weird.
She tries to live a nice life away from the female lead, a villainess who destroyed the country, but the two men continue to untie their jackets so that they cannot be modest.
Will I be able to live safely here? <<less

Gu Yuanbai transmigrated into a BL novel as a weak, sickly emperor who barely had any sense of presence in the plot. The novel was a story of the struggle to gain the political power and love between the future regent and the first beauty in the capital, and he was supposed to serve just as a backdrop board.... more>>

Gu-wildly ambitious-Yuanbai: Don’t make me laugh.

He was the emperor—why would he let go of his power instead of expanding the national borders and leaving his name in the annals of history?

*

Xue Yuan, the son of the current supreme general and the future regent, hiding a burning ambition, accompanied his father into the palace for the first time. That day, he looked up, hidden among the crowd of courtiers, and caught a glimpse of the young emperor’s face.

Naturally rebellious, he sneered, thinking contemptuously that the little emperor looked prettier than the palace ladies. With this too-beautiful appearance and weak body, how was he planning to rule the country?

By making people take pity on his frailty? <<less

It all happened so abruptly. After finally grasping my situation, I found myself in an entirely different world. Looking around, I noticed others in the same predicament… Could this possibly be one of those Hero developments?... more>>

Was there a tyrannical Demon Lord needing extermination, or would I be tossed into the maelstrom of war? Whatever it was, I was afraid. I never wanted to be a Hero. I don’t want to harm another…… Ignore the nonsense I was spouting; there was nothing to fret over.

The Demon Lord was slain a thousand years ago, and 800 years had passed since the last war. The nobles didn’t treat us summoned like tr*sh; instead, we were kindly cared for. The Demons have been on good terms with Humans for some time now. Dangers, such as monsters, were being taken care of by the Guild and the Order of Knights. What’s more surprising is the fact that I wasn’t even a hero! Instead, I was unintentionally summoned!

It also turns out that this world was a world in which the three races, the Spirit World’s Magical Races, the Celestial World’s Divine Races, and the Mortal World’s Human Races, are kind neighbors. Here, everyone lives a peaceful and fulfilling life.

In summary, this other world was――at peace.

What’s my plan for the future? For my limited stay here, I will live this world to its fullest; going on a cultural exchange, sightseeing, then, after experiencing the festival that is only held once every ten years, …… I shall safely return home.

However, despite my lust for a peaceful last year before returning, this planet’s heavyweights have begun amassing around me, and…… <<less

When Lera regained her memories as a reincarnated individual at the age of three, her magical power also surged abnormally, causing her hair and eye color to change from their original hues.... more>>

Disturbed by this transformation, her parents sent her to a distant relative's territory, which happened to be a land belonging to a combat-focused ethnic group living near a forest infested with magical creatures – it was a village of brawny folks.

She spent ten years there, becoming a respectable member of this warrior society. Around that time, she was told to return to the capital city. 

While she wished to continue her peaceful life in the village, she couldn't because it would inconvenience the grateful Count's family. Life can indeed be quite unpredictable. <<less

"Huh? I've been reincarnated."

The impact of a blow brought back memories of his past life. While excited about being reincarnated into another world, the current situation was far from favorable.

"Do I follow the conventional path and aim for success as an adventurer, or..."

For some reason, the boy decided to rise to power in the other world from the shadows of the underworld.

"Mafia bosses and gang leaders are so cool!"

This is the story of a boy reincarnated into another world, bestowed with a unique ability, as he, along with his companions, dominates the other world from the underworld. <<less

Ethel, possessed into her favorite novel, has married the female lead’s brother Liena.... more>>

She thought they would be a natural family, but she was mistaken.

Tired of a husband who cared only for his sister, who was cold to her, and whose attention was always centered on Liena, she filed for divorce.

“Divorce? No way. Things were good when we were together.”

“Sister-in-law, think again!”

Unlike in the past, I am determined now. There’s no need to reconsider.

“Then, can I get back the mine that is my dowry?”

“Wait a minute, sister-in-law.”

I needed an assistant, so I turned to the villain of the original story.

“Who on earth dared to give you a hard time?”

Isn’t this man too precious to be hurt by Liena……?

“The only person I want to keep by my side is you, Ethel.”

……By your side? <<less

Elise, the illegitimate child of a marquis, lived her life in silence.
She desired nothing and wished for nothing.... more>>

The only thing she desperately wished for was one.
The simple happiness with the man she loved.

But the price of love was betrayal.

Even her mother coldly turned away from her, and everyone wanted her dead.

Just then, a man approached and asked.

She decided.
To take revenge on everyone who wanted her dead and erase her existence.

The woman who returned decided to seduce the man who abandoned her.

I possessed the role of a female protagonist.... more>>

But there’s a problem... 

“When women gather, dishes get broken, so be careful on your own.”

“Oh, really?”

This world was from a spicy adult novel. And the male lead is strangely individualistic? But he’s a crown prince, so is there no alternative?

Well... I was born with a diamond spoon. I was planning for a comfortable life.

But suddenly, I heard two unbelievable words.

“...Chicken and beer.”

...Chi— what?

As it turns out, I wasn’t the only one who got possessed in this place.

There’s—

A noble lady, who is the hidden power of the empire’s guild,

A fake lady of ducal collecting slush funds,

A priestess who sought refuge in the temple to avoid the regretful womanizer and,

A maid escaping from a reverse harem.

But why isn’t there a handsome, high-ranking man who can get along with me and twist the original story?

Unfortunately, my friends are either enjoying twisting their stories or waiting for my original story to begin...

To find the last member of the ‘Transmigrators Club,’ a masquerade ball was held.

And then a man appeared, having the perfect blend of my preferences!

A black-haired, cold, handsome man, and to top it off, he’s even my ultimate fan.

“Excuse me, would you like to have a chat with me?”

“Well, I came here because I was curious about Miss Lea in the first place.”

I thought I would have a lively conversation while enjoying his satisfying face, even if I didn’t get to eat him.

I was sure that was the case...

F*ck.

I’m doomed.

I, the female lead, had messed up.

Shouldn’t I have refrained from spending the night with another man...? <<less

A handsome blond-haired, blue-eyed guy corners a beautiful girl with white hair and deep purple eyes against the wall. It's what they call a "wall slam" in those so-called romantic games.... more>>

"You're an interesting girl, aren't you?"

Their faces are so close that it's hard to breathe. The surrounding girls are squealing with excitement... No, they're seriously annoying.

This is the stage of the otome game "Love Academy Koigaku" at the Royal Magic Academy in the Kingdom of Ronaudia.

The handsome guy is one of the capture targets in "Love Academy," Prince Sieg Stallion, the second prince of the kingdom. The girl is the heroine of "Love Academy," Millia Londo.

The students at the academy are neglecting their classes, completely absorbed in romance. Well, it can't be helped in the world of otome games, but I'm not interested in romance at all.

After school, I sneak out of the academy and head towards...

"You guys are so slow."

Deep within the labyrinth, I dash through a swarm of giant dragons, taking them down one by one with two swords. With each defeat, the dragons vanish, leaving behind only magic stones.

I may have been reincarnated into the world of an otome game, but it doesn't concern me.

Ignoring all the romance events, I delve into dungeons—this is the kind of story it is. <<less
