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.

“Witch Hazel should be executed for kidnapping!”
“You’re going to be executed for kidnapping the younger siblings of the Archduke!”

‌“Ahhh- Hazel cannot go.”

Thanks to the children, it was good that I became the nanny of them, but my employer…
“The Duke doesn’t marry a witch. Of course, not even a nanny.”

It’s okay because I don’t want to marry either. Even more so with the Grand Duke! I’m just going to raise the kids and leave.

‌On the long-awaited retirement day.
“What kind of potion did you use for me? No, I’d rather you use it because it’s a potion”

What I brought out is a letter of resignation, but why is the duke giving me a ring?

Guys, calm down.
“Hazel and brother, when is the baby coming?”
“A nephew who resembles Hazel? Yes!”

Are you repaying the kindness from when I raised you with obsession? <<less

…the thing is, I am the princess who was fated to be killed by the hidden villain on the first night.

“It’s an arranged marriage anyway, and we don’t even want to see each other’s faces, so we’ll only meet on the day of the wedding.”

It is clear that the hidden villain is reluctant to marry me. So my choice is…

“I fell in love at first sight. So go out with me!”

Only six months left until the wedding. I decided to do an undercover investigation under the pretext of dating. People don’t believe me, so I’ll have to find the evidence myself.

While I was by his side trying to lay bare the fact that he is a serial killer…

***

“You said you fell in love with me at first sight, what were you doing with another man?” a cold voice flowed into my ears.

“What, what do you mean? It was just a dance to get the banquet going…”

The nape of my neck heated up from his hot breath that touched my earlobes. The cold voice and the contrasting sensation made me even dizzier.

“In his arms, you affectionately called him by his first name.”

“Eub.”

I held my breath because I couldn’t keep my mind from the intense musk scent that wrapped around my body. My whole body was tingling from the strange sensation that ran along the back of my neck.

He tilted his head and said, “If there is another bastard’s scent on your body… I will kill him.” <<less

The senior brother is handsome and tall, but it looks like… he’s not a 0.

Upon waking up one morning, Lin Qingyang found himself transformed into a scum cannon fodder in the world of a tyrant novel! In the original story, the cannon fodder, due to coveting the male lead’s beauty, used schemes to force him into becoming a male concubine when he was forced to hide his identity. In doing so, the cannon fodder crushed the last shred of humanity in the male lead. The ending for the cannon fodder was predictable.... more>>

Now, Lin Qingyang, watching the future tyrant already bound the upper body with arms tied behind the back and rope looped around the neck, felt as if he was witnessing his own impending torture.

Lin Qingyang: ... Perhaps I can still cling on to life.

From then on, amidst conspiracies, battles, and dangerous situations, Lin Qingyang became a constant presence by the future tyrant Chu Lishu's side. He became the only one willing to protect him with his life, never to betray him.
　　　
After reclaiming the throne, and seeing Lin Qingyang's 'wholehearted devotion,' Chu Lishu decided to endure personal discomfort to not disappoint his beloved. His ears turned crimson, and in a hoarse voice, he said, "Whatever you want... I'll agree to all of them."

Excited, Lin Qingyang thought to himself: Gold, fertile land, beauties, and the freedom to travel and enjoy life.

Not long after, Lin Qingyang, riding in a luxurious carriage laden with gold and beauties, found himself surrounded by a large army, unable to move even a step forward.

A figure in bright yellow leaped into the carriage, driving away other people and leaving only Lin Qingyang behind.

Watching Chu Lishu's increasingly fierce and ruthless gaze, gradually turning red, and seemingly covered with a layer of watery light, Lin Qingyang felt that something was amiss. The voice of the tyrant was hoarse, aggrieved, yet tinged with a stubborn madness.

"Traveling? You can only go with me, otherwise, don't even think about taking a step anywhere!"

On that day, surrounded by the army, they waited for a long time before the carriage slowly returned to the palace.

The next day, an imperial edict was issued, announcing the emperor's empress.

Having just been woken up, Lin Qingyang supported his almost broken waist, looking at the imperial edict. Can he still be saved if he runs away now?

On Qin Qingzhuo’s twenty-ninth birthday, his friends in the circle organized a small birthday party for him. Outside the window, the sound of rain was pattering. Someone raised a glass to offer their blessings, expressing the hope that Teacher Qin would encounter a passionate and lasting romance before turning thirty.

Someone nearby added, jokingly suggesting it would be best if he were liked by a handsome young man—eighteen would be too young, but nineteen would be just right. This playful remark elicited laughter from everyone present.

As glasses clinked and red wine flowed, Qin Qingzhuo, in a slightly intoxicated state, found himself thinking about a pair of eyes. He wondered if there really was such a young man.

Meanwhile, that young man was eagerly awaiting his response, hoping to meet him on this rainy night.

The background involves a variety show featuring a band, with a mix of a rebellious and sharp musician as the gong and a gentle and mature mentor as the shou.

Ellie was a girl who couldn’t talk or even write well.... more>>

By chance, she begins listening to three people’s secrets.

The three start to develop an interest in Ellie who hearken to their words.

However, a couple of days later, Ellie disappears without leaving any traces.

With Ellie’s disappearance,

Hayden, who confessed that he has a crush on a man.

Lennon, who enjoys games involving riddles.

Lebrado, who has a secret fetish.

The three men start searching for her, yet no one comes to figure out where she had left.

Since they would only talk about their own stories and had no clue about hers.

Voiceless Ellie.

That was my name.

***(After the tables have turned)***

I began to speak again and by the favor of someone truly dear to me, I became an “Count”.

The commoner Ellie who once couldn’t talk, can now let out a voice as “Count Phever”.

“……Ellie?”

The Ellie you know from the past is now gone.

Everyone in our family has their own secrets.... more>>

My mom is the only daughter of a former interstellar pirate, my father is a secret agent of the Old Century Allied Political Army. My adopted older brother has a special bloodline of beastmen, and the sister we picked up from the roadside is actually a master of witchcraft with mystical lineage.

And I, an ordinary eighteen-year-old male high school student, the only biological son of my parents, has no special bloodline, and has been a “normal person” since birth

The reason why I can know everyone’s secrets is because-

I transmigrated.

I was originally an ordinary person on the edge of the class, classmates couldn’t even remember my name occasionally. I refused all social activities that might attract attention, and kept to myself at school.

For some reason, I offended the tough guys in school, and they began to target me openly and secretly, but I never fought back.

Everyone thought I was timid and cowardly, and I never explained.

Because I just wanted to be an ordinary person.

Until one day, I intervened to save a classmate who was being bullied. I accidentally exerted too much force, causing multiple serious injuries. As they lay on the ground unable to get up, I personally took them to the hospital.

Since then, whenever the tough guys who call themselves the school bullies see me, they can’t help but feel weak in the knees—

Yes, as one of the members of this special family, I also have a little secret:

Before transmigrating, I cultivated for a hundred years, with profound cultivation, just a half step away from ascension.

In short, invincible.

The classmate I saved recently has been looking at me strangely.

One day, he found me, his beautiful almond-shaped eyes turning, and he stared at me and said:

“I know your secret.”

I immediately covered his mouth, pushed him into the corner, avoiding the sight of others, and calmly questioned him: “What do you know?”

He’s the antagonist of this book. Although it will be another ten years before he turns dark, if he finds out that this world is a book, many things will go awry

I don’t want to get involved in any trouble, so I must not let him discover me—

“You like me.”

Transmigrated.

In the dark and filthy underground city, Huo Xianfeng discovered a special omega.... more>>

He is gorgeous, cold, and sharp, like a rose emerging from thorns.

There were more than a dozen wailing alphas lying on the ground, and the beautiful omega was blushing from his turbulent estrus, panting hoarsely.

His silver hair was stained with blood. Disgust and mu*derous intent surged in his beautiful crimson pupils.

"Do you also want to… mark me?"

Huo Xianfeng, who suffered from Pheromone Recognition Disorder, was surprised——

"Why would you think so? I'm just passing by."

".….."

The beautiful omega was shocked for a moment.

Later, Huo Xianfeng still failed to pass by safely. He was brutally pinned against the wall by the beautiful omega and was forced by the other to mark him.

Huo Xianfeng: "…???"

I've never seen such a brazen omega!

---

Jiang Ci's dream is to become the most powerful omega in the world, and trample all the alphas who looked down on him and coveted him.

Later, this dream was shattered.

"Why can't you kiss me and coax me?!"

The beautiful omega got into Huo Xianfeng's arms, angrily biting his Adam's apple, sobbing and crying non-stop,

"Damn Huo Xianfeng, are you incapable?!"

The handsome alpha sighed deeply and stretched out his hand to hold the coquettish wife in his arms,

A: Choose the genuine slag Gong in the original book, and start a sadistic and abusive romance with Fang Yaoxuan filled with domestic abuse, a dead mom, and leaving the entertainment circle.

B: Choose the cannon fodder Villain, Chu Cheng, and be free of the slag Gong forever.

Ji Qingzhou wordlessly chose B without a second thought.

Chu Cheng was of distinguished birth and became the head of a popular company at a comparatively young age. He had seen many beauties in the entertainment circle but just happened to be fond of Ji Qingzhou.

A friend asked him, “Do you like this little star?”

Chu Cheng shook his head. “No, just playing with him.”

Outside the door, Ji Qingzhou nodded. Yes, that was what the book said.

A few months later, Ji Qingzhou was walking away while answering the phone, when he overheard someone saying, “Ji Qingzhou? Oh, Chu Cheng is just playing with him. Once he’s played enough, they’ll split.”

Ji Qingzhou was just about to nod, but then he heard Chu Cheng’s furious reply: “Nonsense! Which bastard told you that! Doesn’t he know that those who disturb a marriage will be kicked by a horse!”

Ji Qingzhou: ??? Wait, no, this is not what the book said! <<less
