After the death of the legendary emperor Huo ji, he transmigrated into a dog-blooded novel about a wealthy family's grievances, becoming the same-named protagonist Huo ji.... more>>

Huo ji was weak and sickly from a young age, and after a master fortune teller's prediction, he was destined to have a "contracted engagement" for good luck. Unexpectedly, his fiancée fell in love with his half-brother, the male lead of the novel.

To break off the engagement, the fiancée set up Huoji to have a one-night stand with a stranger and planned to catch him in the act. With his heart and soul shattered by this betrayal, Huoji began to act recklessly and became one of the antagonists who opposed the male lead everywhere, ultimately meeting a tragic end.

When the emperor woke up from a medicine-induced sleep after the incident, he was determined to seek revenge against the person who had set him up.

Later, the company was in crisis and on the verge of bankruptcy, and Huoji gave his remaining savings to Li Qinghong, saying that it was enough for him to live on for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, Li Qinghong took out a global limited-edition black card, saying, "Wife... , we're rich!" <<less

Evangeline, who was reincarnated as the male lead’s younger sister, only had one year left to live. ... more>>

While her love-struck brother pathetically followed the heroine to the ends of the earth, she decides to follow the novel's plot and find her fated lover.

The only clue Evangeline was given was that he was blonde. With a plan in mind, she snuck out of the mansion in anticipation of finding him. But somehow, things began to move strangely. Instead of her fated one, she kept running into a suspicious brown-haired man who was devilishly handsome.

“If it is my first time, will you take responsibility?” he said.

He was too handsome to be a supporting character. Was he the emperor? Or a crook? There’s no way the author would give such beauty of a face to a supporting character of a novel. He’s definitely the other male lead… the emperor.

“Are you the emperor?” Evangeline asked confidently.

“No?”

Ah, then never mind… but why was he so dazzling? Agonizing in such thought, she was swept away by him.

“Wait, I don’t think I can. This feels weird.”

“Does it feel weird in a good way or a bad way?”

“In a good way! But still, stop. It’s weird.”

“Why do you keep denying it when you feel good? Can’t you just continue to feel good?”

Not only is this man getting in the way of my plans, but troublesome problems, in general, are holding me back...

She wasn’t interested in magic, nor men, and nor did she want to recover her lost memories. All she wants is to just… die comfortably! <<less
