I possessed the villain, who is torn limb from limb by the protagonist in a fit of inferiority complex.... more>>

This was a consequence of killing his brother, so I did my best to keep him alive.

It was a bonus to get out of the job safely.

But how did it happen?

“Kulk, kulk…!”

“Mr Han, I’ll take care of everything.”

The protagonist has completely turned around. He couldn’t let go of me, his lifelong benefactor.

“I shouldn’t have left you alone.”

No, I’m fine, so please let me leave. <<less

Kirona has Tetra fever, a disease that causes her to endure five fevers and cause her death after the fifth. After her second episode, she decides to hide her identity as the princess and heads towards the East, where it is infested with monsters, to find ‘Nadaline’s Flower’.... more>>

In the middle of Nabimi Forest, the most dangerous part of the monster zone, Kirona rescues a mercenary from Basilisk. She wakes up, tied…

“Is it an Eastern tradition to hold a knife at the neck of the benefactor who saved your life?”

“Ah, you know. In the East, if you aren’t the killer, you are the killed.”

Kirona had taken a liking to Jade Eclipse, the youngest son of the Eclipse family, who was ruined by love. Because he seemed to do anything for money.

“How much debt do I have left?”

“If I release you, will you repay your debt?” Kirona asked, smiling at Jade.

​Never in his dreams did he imagine the Princess of the Empire would appear before his eyes.

“You’re in luck, kidnapper. Where else in the Empire can you find an employer like me?” <<less

I am home alone, planning my escape.... more>>

My new husband has gone to work.

But I know he actually hasn’t.

He is outside the door, looking through the peephole at me. He has been standing there all day long.

At 5:25 in the afternoon, he will open the door and pretend to have just gotten off a long day at work, saying: “A-Zhen, I worked very hard today. I missed you so much.”

I have to run away, because not only is “he” pretending to be my husband, but “he”…..isn’t a human being!

Now, I have three plans….. <<less

After signing the share transfer of the Bai company, Bai Weiwei who had a cong**ital heart disease got betrayed by her adopted sister she always loved along with her trusted bodyguard.... more>>

Shocked, betrayed, and worried for her father made her unwilling to die, and her resentment actually let her bind with a quick transmigration system. Completing the task means that she will be able to increase the number of days she can live, and she will be able to get revenge on her white lotus sister and the unconscionable bastard bodyguard.

CEO, Emperor, General… Supreme Immortal? All of them will turn to a love-sick waste who bowed before her skirt.

Just… why is this unlucky star of a wooden fiancee trying so hard to chase her? Stop sucking my life force already! Our marriage is only for business! I want to break the engagement!

Ye Yuxuan: “I will never let go of you.”

Bai Weiwei: ".............." <<less

Finally, it was their first night. ... more>>

Leticia whispered, leaning her forehead against his chest.

"As expected, is it too far? Should I get closer?"

Dietrian barely swallowed a groan. His hand grasping Leticia's shoulder was shaking with a sweet faze, but she didn't notice.

"I know that you’re uncomfortable. But please bear with me until my mother comes."

Dietrian hated Leticia. It was natural as Leticia's mother killed his family. She had never doubted the fact.

So she didn't know, how badly his face was distorted by her words.

“You just have to put up with me for half a year. Then, I will divorce you as you wish.”

At the word ‘divorce’, he gritted his teeth. <<less

When Jiang Shiyu moved into the Shen family at the age of 16, he met Shen Li. It didn't take long for them to get together. From then on, everyone knew that the frail and beautiful Jiang Shiyu was the treasured apple of Shen Li’s eye. Shen Li protected Jiang Shiyu like a dragon guarding its treasure, slowly nurturing the broken and fragile Jiang Shiyu back to health.... more>>

A car accident caused Shen Li to suffer brain damage, leaving him with all his memories except those of Jiang Shiyu. After the accident, Shen Li believed himself to be a straight man and scorned Jiang Shiyu, even though everyone around him said that he was the one who first harbored impure thoughts and tirelessly took care of Jiang Shiyu. Shen Li didn’t believe a word of it, scoffing at the notion, and sternly told Jiang Shiyu, "I’m straight, stay away from me!"

Later, at the school’s freshman opening ceremony, Jiang Shiyu was invited to play a piano piece, stunning the audience. The performance received thunderous applause, and a bold freshman even confessed to him on the spot, causing quite a sensation.

Backstage, in a narrow utility room, Jiang Shiyu was pressed against the wall with a hand over his mouth. The skin on his neck was rudely bitten, and he tilted his head back like an oxygen-deprived swan. Shen Li buried his head in Jiang Shiyu’s neck, speaking with dissatisfaction and grievance, "Baby, you’re too beautiful. Can I hide you away?" The difference in size and complexion was stark, with the frail and delicate Jiang Shiyu resembling nothing more than a sickly, pampered cat. <<less

If selected as a player in a horror game, it’s either clear the game or die.... more>>

Ruan Qing had it worse. He directly became a special player who played the role of an NPC in the horror game, essentially living in the opening credits.

What’s even more unfortunate for him is that his physique is extremely peculiar, attracting the attention of sadists and psychopaths no matter where he goes.

Game 1: [Horror Livestream Room] – A gloomy and delicate victim who can’t bear the slightest grievance – Completed.

Those who owe debts always have to repay them, and once you owe a debt, you will be selected by the horror livestream.

Ruan Qing was the first to be chosen: “…”

After Ruan Qing was chosen, various ways of his death flooded the invisible barrage in the livestream room.

However, when the camera focused on Ruan Qing’s face, the barrage froze, and the previously cruel and heartless comments instantly changed.

[I don’t think he deserves to die. Isn’t it just an insult? He didn’t lose any flesh. Why make a big deal out of it?]

[I agree, I don’t think he’s a bad person.]
Initially, everyone said, [Someone so malicious should just die!]

But later, everyone flocked to the Weibo accounts of the people Ruan Qing had insulted: [You can’t even afford grapes, but you dare to eat steak. Do you still have any humanity?]

People who were inexplicably insulted: “??? Are you crazy?”

If you discover a serial killer knocking on your door, about to break in within a few minutes, what would you do? If it were any other host, the audience would probably be excited and want to see various ways they would die.

But if it were Ruan Qing…

[Don’t open the door, Ruan Qing! Please don’t open the door! Run away quickly!!!]
Ruan Qing took out his phone and dialed the number of the neighbor across the hall (another serial killer), “Hello, your food delivery has arrived. Can you please open the door and pick it up?” <<less

The final villain is being deceived by his young time-limited daughter in law who was possessed.... more>>

If I die at the right time, I will marry his son.

The problem is, I already know the cure! And I don’t want to die, but if I don’t get killed now, then I won’t die quietly.

“Daddy, I love you so much. You are the most handsome man in the world. Cough, cough!”

“Evan, shall we read a fairy tale book together until we fall asleep?”

She will have to act a little better to let his guard down. Then, she would be able to do a great job.

I think I’ll have to leave secretly after I get better.

I have to make a lot of money and buy land under borrowed names—

“Call all the council members on the continent. My daughter-in-law has to live.”

Father? Shouldn’t I be thrown away?

“If you die, I’ll follow you unconditionally. I can’t live in a world without you.”

Husband? You’re also acting strange. You don’t love anyone, do you?

Even—

“Who is this, Kyle Ravonis? The man who seduced my daughter-in-law deserves to die.”

“Even if you cheated on me with another man, I will never break up with you.”

You must have misunderstood my other name!

“When did this start, huh? You said you wanted to live as a sweet couple, but you tried to run away by creating a new identity behind our back?”

I want to quietly disappear, not die!

I didn’t know my husband, who has been like a friend to me ever since we were young, would come to me with such sore eyes.

“You’re still my wife on paper. Live as my wife, and die as my wife.”

“Evan?”

“You’ve shown me both heaven and hell…”

His reddened eyes locked me up.

“You’ll never get away from me no matter where you go.” <<less

Dugu Zhuo’s life was exhausted by fate. His skills were destroyed, his kinship was severed, his friends were lost, his father was killed, and even his only beloved Ye Zhou was gone. Wearing a spirit jade that protected Ye Zhou’s remnant soul, he scoured around every corner of the world, trying to find Ye Zhou’s remaining soul to stay with him in the afterlife.... more>>

Until one day, when his lifespan was approaching an end, he entered an illusion and saw Ye Zhou being chased by several monsters. After dealing with the monsters, a strange voice rang in his ears:

[Ding, you killed the monsters and get 3 low-grade spirit stones.]
[Ding, you killed the monsters, and get the secret book .]
[Ding, you killed the monsters, and get a precious healing spirit grass.]
[Ding, you have levelled up, and your skills are restored by 1%.]
And the Ye Zhou he just “rescued” raised his sword angrily and yelled: “How dare you steal my monster!”

Dugu Zhuo: “?”

——

Ye Zhou encountered a strange player named Dugu Zhuo in the holographic online game “Nine Heavens”. He doesn’t understand common sense, doesn’t know how to play, doesn’t go offline to rest, and often looks at him with deep eyes. Ye Zhou only accepted him as a very handsome apprentice, and taught him how to upgrade and play.

Just when Ye Zhou was thinking about whether to meet with his apprentice, an announcement was shared across the whole server: [Player Ye Zhou triggers the final plot “Sword Tomb” and unlocked the final boss of the game, Dugu Zhuo.]

Ye Zhou: “…”

By coincidence, he has the same name as his apprentice! <<less

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.

In his previous life, when Ye Chaoran was 16 years old, he was suddenly visited by a rich man who told him he was the young master of the Fang family who lived in a different city.... more>>

Little did he know that the purpose of his biological parents was just to find a heart for his brother who had a heart disease.

The parents who he tried to please: “When the operation is successful, we’ll directly announce that he suddenly died.”

The older brother he wanted to be close to: “Don’t appear in front of me. Disgusting.”

Even the man Ye Chaoran cared about most only regarded him as a substitute.

As for his beloved younger brother Fang Yan, Ye Chaoran thought he was the only one who was good to him. Until the last moment, when he showed his true face.

It turns out that all along, he’s only been ridiculed, rejected, and hated.

Then he was reborn.

Now, Ye Chaoran just wants to repay his adoptive parents, get revenge while he’s at it, and live his life well.

–

Ye Chaoran, who’d just been found, refused to leave with his biological parents. The Fang family tried everything, giving him houses and cars, then persuading, then coercing. Finally, they prepared to kidnap him by force.

But bodyguards in black descended from the sky and threw the garbage aside.

An old man showed up, looking calm and proud: “Who dares to touch anyone from my Ye family?”

Ye Chaoran was confused: “Who is this?”

The adoptive father looked sad: “My father.”

Only then did Ye Chaoran realize that his adoptive father turned out to be the richest man’s runaway son!

His family is countless times richer than the Fang family! <<less

As demons wreak havoc across the continent of Divine Land, humanity retreats to sprawling metropolises, barely clinging to survival amidst rising discord.

From north to south, divisions deepen; noble houses and imperial factions clash incessantly; the common folk suffer under oppression; and roving bands of rebels bide their time, ready to upheave the fragile order at a moment's notice.

When she faced death in the final battle against Cheongung, the enemy who led her family to ruin, and opened her eyes, Seol Woonyeong was back as a ten-year-old child.... more>>

The reasons for their connections before her return and the process changed completely.
Is that why?

"I think I like a woman stronger than me," the handsome guy from the Namgoong family said these ridiculous things.

"How about making the entire Central Plain under your feet?" the smart guy from the Jegal family, sat down and made a wish that was completely impossible.

Hey, guys?

I'm busy making our Seol Family the best family in the world and protecting the martial arts world from the Cheongung brats, you know? So, can we put off romance for a bit? <<less
