A genius schemer, creating an emperor!... more>>

“Only when your brother is happy can you be happy.”

She committed all kinds of evil deeds to make him Emperor. However, Artezia’s devotion was repaid with betrayal. It was the Grand Duke Cedric, a righteous enemy, that gave her a hand of salvation at the threshold of death.

“Devise a plan.”
“…”
“I can’t think of anyone but you who can reverse this situation. Marquess Rosan.”
“…”
“Lend me your strength.”

There is no plan that can reverse the already declining power and save the fallen empire. However, there is a method. To turn back time before everything went wrong.

With tears of blood she sacrificed her body to an ancient magic. This time, she will not fall.

Artezia, who returned to the age of 18 before death, resolved to become a villainess for the Grand Duke Cedric.

“Please give me your hand in marriage. I’ll make you emperor.”

In exchange for kneeling to the devil, the devil shall dirty her hands for you. <<less

As the sole heir of the wealthy and noble Zhan family,

Zhan Wuyou could have lived a peaceful and prosperous life. But his father made the same mistake every s*umbag makes—he hooked up with a deadly mistress.

This mistress came from the "special zone." To be with Zhan’s father, she kidnapped Zhan Wuyou and had her own child with Zhan’s father surgically altered to look like him, replacing him as the young master of the Zhan family.

His mother was thrown into a mental asylum by the pair, while young Zhan Wuyou was abandoned in a special department, becoming a declawed dog for the Zhan family.

Zhan Wuyou: "..."

Just you wait, don’t beg me to come back later! <<less

[Yandere + Love Triangle + Second Playthrough + Battle of Wits + Eerie + Lovecraftian + Death Rewind] ... more>>

This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game.

The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions.

However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game.

Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw!

To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards.

For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure.

Worried about characters losing affection points? No need.

With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back.

It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers.

However...

Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game.

His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes.

Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls."

Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes...

The type who will kill you if they can't have you...

Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left.

"I really just want to survive..."

In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes. <<less

To enter a photography competition, Liu Ying traveled north, where he accidentally captured Yu Huan’s image.... more>>

This single photograph drew all sorts of people who had once been connected to Yu Huan to this remote border town.

There was He Chen, claiming to be Yu Huan’s younger brother; Zhou Hua, claiming to be his classmate; and Yu Qing, claiming to be his older brother.

Through these individuals, Liu Ying gradually pieced together Yu Huan’s past, understanding why his eyes were always filled with sorrow.

“He craved challenges. Once everything went his way, he found life dull. Yet whenever Yu Huan built a life of his own, he would become consumed by jealous rage, repeating the cycle endlessly.”

“He knew he was mad, so he felt justified in his actions.”

“Driven by a destructive urge, a need for control, and a possessive desire, he was a born madman. Even if he no longer wanted something, he wouldn’t allow anyone else to touch it.” <<less

To love someone deeply is to wish to imprison them with a golden lock.... more>>

When Duan Yelin first saw Xu Hang, he wanted to lock him up and hide his beauty in the golden house—in fact, he did so.

If he seized him by force, he is a robber; if he is being patient and indifferent, he will be meat in someone else's chopsticks.

Xu Hang was unwilling, but he wanted to live. There were still many things he had not done, so he finally entered Xiaotong Guan.

It's a long-standing battle.

Even after four years of entanglement, Xu Hang always seemed like a bowl of freshly brewed medicine, with a faint aroma, but only after drinking it could one know whether it was poison or antidote.

It was a long time later that Duan Yelin realized that what he had locked up was not a cold and arrogant golden sparrow but a cold and sharp golden hairpin. <<less

“Must have been hard pretending to love the enemy’s daughter.”

Annette, of royal blood and the only daughter of a military general.

After two years of passionate love, she married her father's loyal subordinate, Heiner.

The happiness she thought would last forever with her wonderful and loving husband.

Everything was perfect.
Everything seemed perfect.
Until her husband's treachery caused the downfall of her family.

"I'm divorcing you, Heiner.”

"It is not granted."

“Do you still have any use left for me? My parents are dead, the monarchy has fallen. I have nothing. Your revenge is over."

“Madam, where do you intend to go to be happy?"

“...... there is nowhere I can be happy.”

Heiner stretched the corners of his mouth and smiled.

“If that's the case anyway, you'll be unhappy by my side for the rest of your life.”

Annette suddenly realized that his revenge was not over.

And that she had to break off this sickening toxic relationship with her own hands. <<less

My name is Lin Yuetian, 23 years old.... more>>

I come from a somewhat chaotic cyberpunk future world and am currently single. I work at a security company and return home punctually at 8 PM every day. I don’t smoke, I only drink lightly, and I go to bed at 11 PM, ensuring I get a full 8 hours of sleep each night. Before sleeping, I always drink a glass of warm milk and do 20 minutes of seated forward bends. Once I’m in bed, I fall asleep immediately and sleep soundly until morning, never letting fatigue or stress carry over to the next day. The 30 or so psychologists I’ve consulted all say I’m perfectly normal.

System: That’s enough, really.

I have a gentle personality, am friendly and reasonable, work diligently, and have excellent interpersonal relationships.

Also, though it may sound a bit arrogant, I know I’m very good-looking. Every morning when I leave the house, I attract at least four groups of cyberpunk-style villains. Naturally, I handle them all.

System: Shouldn’t you start introducing some objective details, my friend?

Ah, yes, I forgot to mention—I am a shark hand, a Gold Medal shark hand. For ten consecutive quarters, I’ve ranked first on the company’s zero-negative-review leaderboard. My goal in life is to earn more money, achieve financial freedom, and happily enjoy life. While I admit I’m incredibly outstanding, I only wish to live a peaceful life.

System: Ha!

I never imagined that after falling asleep, I would inexplicably wake up in various s*um Gong novels, with an extra system in my head—yes, the one who’s been chiming in during my self-introduction. He’s my colleague. Well then, System, why don’t you tell the readers what I need to do?

System: You need to make the s*um Gong fall for you and sincerely regret their actions—wait, what are you doing?

Sharpening my sword—oh, it’s just one of the tools I’ll need to complete my tasks. Don’t worry about me; I’ll make sure the s*um Gongs are both genuinely regretful and thoroughly dealt with.

This story solemnly promises: No s*um Gong will survive, and no innocent systems will be harmed in the process.

System: Ridiculous!!! Absolutely ridiculous!!!!

As a high-risk individual, Ye Sangsang received an invitation to the beta test of the holographic game “Criminal Files.”... more>>

As a game known for its high degree of freedom, high adaptability, and extremely realistic simulations based on real criminal cases, its beta release garnered significant attention.

As a condition of the beta test, she was required to livestream her gameplay.

Delicate, beautiful, and silent—these were the words often associated with Ye Sangsang.

As a game that had captured the nation’s high expectations, many were baffled when they saw Ye Sangsang.

This was quickly followed by ridicule.

“Someone like her playing from the criminal’s perspective? The victim would probably turn the tables on her.”

“Is she going in as an investigator? A beautiful but useless burden?”

“The victim escaping alive? Don’t make me laugh.”

But as the cases progressed, Ye Sangsang gradually left the audience in awe.

“The criminal!!! Oh no, lock her up, I’m terrified of how she kills!”

“Investigation? Come on, can you guys keep up with Sangsang’s pace?”

“The victim! Ahhh, what a bloody battlefield!”

The livestream chat, once filled with skepticism, eventually overflowed with admiration.

Some even began to suspect that she might actually be a high-intelligence criminal herself.

It wasn’t until later that Ye Sangsang’s holographic crime scene simulations helped solve one real-life case after another.

Audience: ???!!!

Ye Sangsang, facing the camera: Please note, I only perform once.

As a despised assault-type guide, Lin Yuan has a fiancé matched to her by the state. Her fiancé is from a prestigious family, handsome, wealthy, and impeccably mannered, making her the envy of many.... more>>

Why would such an excellent partner be assigned to her? She doesn’t even meet the standards for tea ceremony, and her cooking skills only earned a “B” grade.

“He’ll get tired of her eventually.”

“That’s right, they’re doomed to fail.”

After hearing these kinds of remarks so often, Lin Yuan also came to believe that she and Jiang Yangshuo were destined to break up. So, when her fiancé appeared before her with a gentle and lovely young woman, she didn’t hesitate to take off her engagement ring and toss it down the drain in front of them both.

From then on, Lin Yuan enjoyed a life of freedom, where the sky was the limit, and the sea was vast enough for her to roam as she pleased.

Who knew that after a few years of living unrestrained, her ex-fiancé would corner her at a royal banquet, his eyes red-rimmed, and declare that he had been regretting his decision all these years, that he was consumed with longing for her.

No, no, no, thank you, please don’t. Lin Yuan, who had become accustomed to her wild ways, had not a single desire to return to her previous life.

Her ex-fiancé’s face turned livid as he gritted his teeth, “I don’t mind your type, and I can try my best to tolerate your shortcomings. You won’t find a sentinel who indulges you more than I do.”

“Well, you see, I already have a new sentinel.” To completely shake off his entanglement, Lin Yuan casually threw out a name as a shield. She quickly reviewed the images of the sentinels she had met on the battlefield, choosing the name of a brother with whom she had shared life-and-death experiences. She figured the man wouldn’t mind.

“He just happens to be a receptive type, a perfect match for me, and he likes me a lot. He doesn’t care about any of my flaws.”

Just after sending off her devastated ex-fiancé, Lin Yuan turned around and bumped into the very man she had just name-dropped.

That man, who had killed countless enemies on the battlefield and had achieved remarkable merit, had a slightly flushed, handsome face. He turned his head and said softly, “You…when did you know I liked you?”

Lin Yuan: “…” <<less

The washed-up magician Zong Jiu transmigrated into a horror, infinite flow novel about a survival show, taking the place of the cannon fodder who died tragically in the first evaluation round. This show was very interesting. Out of the tens of thousands of people, only a hundred people could survive, and the c-position (strongest contender) could even get a universal wish ticket.... more>>

If it were someone else, they’d probably be scared to death.

No one expected that Zong Jiu was not only unafraid, but also caused a sensational stir, shamelessly showing off his tricks the whole way.

Once his tricks stopped, and his life could be considered safe and sound, he ended up in a rivalry with the novel’s big villain.

Today you try to get at me, tomorrow I’ll get you back, back and forth, it’s pretty fun, heh.

As a result, though it was just playing around, one time they got carried away and really did end up sleeping together. Watching the nemesis who was pressing him to the ground, Zong Jiu lazily lifted his gaze. “If you want to kill me then kill me, don’t speak nonsense.” Even when at a disadvantage, he showed no trace of fear, and actually continued to provoke him.

That person used his ice-cold finger to trace his ear, and the action heading toward the aorta suddenly stopped.

“What a pity. I’ve changed my mind.”

—

He was once very willing to personally give Zong Jiu death. Every day, he used to regret not gouging out his flesh, personally snapping his neck. But after this person fell into his hands, another, more urgent desire grew like weeds.

Compared to winning or losing, he would rather see him crying and panting, with eyes red, begging for mercy. <<less
