You Shu transmigrated into a book and became one of the male protagonist’s shadow guards. He thought he was following a political intrigue script and as long as he hugged the male protagonist’s thigh well, he would reach the pinnacle of life sooner or later. He could also personally observe the male protagonist’s domineering side, expanding the harem and taking back the country. But the plot ended up going astray somewhere, and the good brotherhood in feudal society changed suddenly. He was inexplicably promoted to the position of Empress. Amidst the cheers of the shadow guards, he accepted the phoenix seal* with a dazed expression.... more>>

Xiao Weixin pretended to be sick and kept a low profile for more than 20 years. He worked hard to seize the throne and avenge his mother. But one day, he suddenly discovered that the little shadow guard beside him looked very good when he smiled. The fox’s tail moved quietly.

You Shu hated iron for not becoming steel*: Don’t you think there’s something wrong with your female lead smiling shyly at the second female lead?

Xiao Weixin: Oh.

You Shu: Can you succeed without the help of the female lead and the second female lead?

Xiao Weixin: En.

You Shu: I, this lackey*, am worrying about you…

Xiao Weixin: You are going to become Empress. Don’t talk nonsense and be careful with your words.

You Shu: …

The male protagonist was probably really crazy.

All the shadow guards: I have never seen such a dazzling moment in my life. Even shadow guards can have spring!

A shadow guard’s path to promotion that went astray.

Early Talent: [God of Thieves] (S-Level)

Midgame Evolution: [One-Person Party] (SS-Level)

"A free soul is never bound by the thorns of nobility. There’s no need to ascend to the divine altar or sugarcoat our deeds. We are thieves lurking in the shadows—know yourself, and then revel in unbridled joy."

As the world turns into a game, every player awakens a divinely bestowed talent:

[Holy Light] , [Immortal] , [Breath of Winter] , [Frozen Throne] , [Elegance Never Goes Out of Style] , [Clock Out, Then Become a Chef God] , [Best Supporting Role] , [Marshmallow] , [Butter Beer] , and so on...

After being reborn, the first thing Yu Xunge does is rush home to force-feed her brother—soon to marry into the Su family—a bottle of liquor, ensuring he misses the first beta test of the game.

In her past life, this s*umbag had manipulated her endlessly. It wasn’t until her dying moments that she discovered he had been scheming against her from the shadows all along.

On her deathbed, she learned she was nothing more than the villain in a male-oriented novel about a live-in son-in-law’s rise to power. All the malice and suffering she endured? It was him shifting blame onto her from behind the scenes.

This time, it’s her turn to operate in the shadows.

Male and female leads? All your fortunes? They’re mine now.

Crown Prince Pei Ji is handsome, exceptionally talented, and aspires to conquer the Nine Continents. One day, he suddenly dreams that he will be stabbed through the heart by a breathtakingly beautiful and formidable young martial artist. Upon waking, he decides to eliminate this person to prevent future trouble.... more>>

It just so happens that the neighboring kingdom is offering a royal marriage, sending a member of their royal family to marry into the Crown Prince's residence. Beneath the red wedding robes, the young man possesses a jade-like countenance, an ethereal beauty, and a refined air. He turns out to be the very person who killed him in his dream!

"Someone, come—" Pei Ji's eyes, sharp as a wolf's, fixated on the young man.

Just as he spoke, the young man began to cough violently.

"Take him—"

The young man suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Arrest him—"

The young man collapsed onto him.

Pei Ji: ?

Before dying of illness, Song Beiyao transmigrated into a "Crown Prince Overpowered Protagonist" novel. The male protagonist is incredibly powerful, with stacked buffs, solely focused on conquering the world and with no interest in romance. The only person he marries is a spy from a neighboring kingdom. After a failed assassination attempt on the protagonist, the spy is tortured to death.

Song Beiyao, carrying his illness, transmigrated into the body of the recently married spy. Without any martial arts skills, his fate seems equally bleak. The system tells him that by collecting more luck points (qi yun zhi), he can cure his illness, gain good fortune, and defy his destined fate!

Song Beiyao: How do I acquire them?

System: Increase contact with the person possessing the strongest luck in the entire book. In short, stick close to the overpowered protagonist.

Song Beiyao: ...With this level of difficulty, could I have half a life back instead?

Initially, Pei Ji was very wary of his new wife. Song Beiyao, let alone touching him, found it difficult to even get close to him.

Until one day, the two went out together. Song Beiyao was severely ill and unable to ride a horse, so Pei Ji carried him into the carriage.

In his arms, a slender waist, a sweet fragrance filling his nose. Looking down, he saw a pale face as white as snow, cheeks flushed with a delicate, sickly red, a beauty so captivating it was impossible to look away.

That night, Pei Ji couldn't sleep a wink.

Song Beiyao gradually realized things were developing in an uncontrollable direction.

Later, pinned against the bed by the strong and vigorous man, he was no longer thinking about acquiring luck points, but rather—

Oh no, is Pei Ji going to do me in...?

The holographic game “Crimson Earth,” blending cyberpunk with Cthulhu elements, was about to be released.... more>>

Kui Xin’s luck seemed to have taken a turn for the better when she was selected as a closed beta tester for “Crimson Earth.”

However, events spiraled rapidly into the bizarre. She realized that instead of playing a mere holographic game, she had actually been transported to a parallel world that truly exists.

People struggled to survive amidst forests of steel and iron, while authorities raised their glasses in shared revelry under the glow of neon lights.

Consortiums controlled the economic lifelines, while super-intelligent AI monitored every individual’s actions closely.

Extraordinary beings, cyborgs, secret cults, and distortions in humans took center stage in this era…

Upon logging into the game, Kui Xin had an ominous feeling that something significant was about to unfold.

Question: What should you do if you discover your character in the game is a top-priority fugitive from the Federation, currently working undercover within the official Investigation Department?

Answer: The most dangerous place can also be the safest. Act out a scenario where you’re chasing yourself, then seize an opportunity to fake your death and escape.

---------------

Name: Kui Xin

Identity: An undercover agent sent by a rebel organization to infiltrate the Federation's Investigation Department.

Objective: Survive and strive to level up.

After reading the objective, Kui Xin felt it was insufficient.

Being a double-crosser seemed like a dead-end role; merely surviving and focusing on leveling up wasn't thrilling enough for her. She wanted to pull off something grand.

For instance, taking out the boss and usurping their position sounded quite satisfying.

My name is Charles.... more>>

I am a spy for the Empire.

Lord, please let me be a righteous spy today as well.

For the mission, I agreed to a fake marriage with an agent from the Holy Kingdom.

My goal is to sabotage his mission without revealing that I am a spy for the Empire!

“Oh my, I accidentally drank the Countess’ wine?”

“This is so boring. I might as well just go home.”

I deliberately did things that would make everyone dislike me.

That way, I could make my fake husband’s mission fail!

But then—

“My goodness! The sommelier was an assassin!”

“If it weren’t for Miss Charles, my nephew would have become alligator food!”

“Thanks to you, we were able to catch the intruder!”

Huh? Why is everyone reacting like this?

[The Hero of the Empire, Charles Courtney!]

No! I was only acting this way to make the mission fail!

And on top of that…

“I’ve been pretending not to know all this time.”

“But now, you think you can just run away from me?”

Even my fake husband, who had always suspected me, was acting strangely.

“If you made me fall for you, you have to take responsibility.”

Wait, you weren’t like this before! <<less

Ruin, a demon who spent his whole life working toward retirement.

And at long last, he thought he could finally rest.

"Your house has been turned into a Hero Academy."

…Excuse me?

"In other words, your entire fortune is buried in that place."

"………."

A lifetime of savings, sunk into an enemy nation's academy.

"Damn it, I'm going to get my money back."

Cursing under his breath, he infiltrated the academy.

All to recover his fortune.

But then—

"Become my son-in-law."

"Be the consort—no, the hidden power behind the imperial throne."

"As a hero, I ask you: take command."

…He ended up being way too good at the undercover professor job.

"…This is insane!"

I entered a very popular male-dominated series set at the end of the century.... more>>

My family happened to be a famous master swordsman family, which will also be shattered and destroyed by the main character in the early days.

There are three sons in this house. The first one is called a genius, the second one is called a mad dog, and the third one is hard to see even if they live in the same house.

Of all things, I’m the youngest in this family.

According to the original, she grew up immature and is destined to die by her older brother and is an extra, who claims to be the ninth wife of the novel’s protagonist.

‘Brother! I will help you!’

First of all, in order to avoid the death flag, I repaired the third older brother, who became a villain due to a sense of inferiority.

As I got closer to my brother like that, it seemed like I was gradually creating a future that was different from the original, but-

“Hello, Lady.”

The first brother, who lacks character, brought her in.

That’s so sweet! It’s sad to know what kind of hardship you are going through!

Let’s stop this marriage! Third brother is on my beloved list. Let’s add one more person.

The S-Class guilds, High Tower and Ghost Eye, are notorious archrivals, having battled for years in the Alliance’s dungeon crystal ore market.... more>>

High Tower’s little young master, Lance, is a black lotus—calculating and ruthless beneath a harmless, sickly exterior.

Ghost Eye’s eldest young master, Zhan Pingchuan, is a classic “white cut black”—outwardly lazy and nonchalant, inwardly sharp and unfathomable.

Both conceal their identities to enroll in Star University, only to be assigned as roommates. Their pheromone compatibility? 100%. They share a kiss on day one.

Lance’s father: “Use your break to go undercover next door. Know your enemy, know yourself, and you’ll never lose.”

Zhan’s father: “Hide your identity, head across the hall, and get the lay of the land.”

After a night of tasting the marrow and knowing the flavor, Zhan Pingchuan strokes Lance’s delicate back and messages HR: “My wife, Lance, comes from a humble background and is frail. Take care of him, don’t let him suffer.”

The next morning, Lance tucks Zhan Pingchuan in and calls his sister: “My boyfriend, Zhan Pingchuan, is strong but sloppy. Give him a top salary so he has money to date me.”

Soon, the two great guilds are set to negotiate. Rumor has it, the heirs will attend.

Hundreds of media outlets wait with bated breath.

On the fateful day, the two heirs meet at the negotiation table. Tension crackles, war is about to erupt.

After a long silence, Lance moves.

Face icy, about to sit, when Zhan Pingchuan suddenly commands, “Don’t move!”

Zhan’s father: My son has a powerful aura!

Zhan Pingchuan strides over, unbuttons his bespoke suit worth over 100,000 credits, and tosses it—under Lance’s chair.

Zhan Pingchuan: “You’re just going to sit on such a hard chair without checking?”

Lance: “……”

Both fathers: “?”

“A clean body for someone in the mafia.”

She, the agent—

“I don't like drawing on my body, so I haven’t.”

—and he, the mafia boss, met.

“But if you want it.”

His steps were elegant and dignified. Why was someone in the mafia even graceful?

“I could at least engrave your name.”

He picked up a pen with the unusually long space between his middle and index fingers. He pulled off the pen cap with his lips and spat it on the floor, then rolled up one sleeve.

A black line from the pen drew across his pale skin.

{Hye-young}

Hye-young. A name her Italian adoptive parents insisted she keep, saying the Korean name was beautiful.

“How is it? Do you think it’ll look pretty?”

Looking at his elegantly drawn handwriting, Hye-young replied.

“… What if I say it will?”

“If you say it’s pretty,”

A sinister light shimmered in his eyes.

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 that I—

“You like me.”

Transmigrated.

At the Qionglin Banquet, the newly crowned top scholar was drugged and, in a dazed state, stumbled into the emperor’s embrace.

His jade-like features, slender waist, and elegant demeanor made him stunningly attractive.

Xiao Yun remained unfazed, received an unexpected kiss with a calm smile, and then… mercilessly pushed him away.

As soon as the top scholar saw him leaving, his expression instantly turned cold and indifferent.

*

When the scholar sobered up, he deeply appreciated the emperor’s “noble” restraint and showed his gratitude in every possible way—taking meticulous care of him while refusing to even let him touch a finger.

The poised and elegant top scholar constantly hovered before Xiao Yun’s eyes, testing his patience until it finally ran out.

*

Then, the top scholar, a spy from the enemy nation—vanished.

Furious and unable to locate him, Xiao Yun led his army to the enemy’s gates, demanding his person.

The two armies stood in tense opposition, banners fluttering, war cries shaking the skies.

The famed young Wangye of the enemy nation was carefully helped up onto the city walls. He stood tall against the wind… his belly slightly rounded.

Xiao Yun looked up and froze.

He looked again.
