I'll spoil myself in this life

Erica once believed she had married for love—until that love slowly revealed itself as something cruel and unrecognizable. Trapped in a violent and humiliating marriage, she endures years of abuse at the hands of a husband who strips away her dignity piece by piece, even turning her own home into a stage for her suffering. With no support from family and no escape in sight, the fragile hope she once held onto eventually dies, leaving behind only quiet resentment and a mind that begins to plan. When her husband brings home the one woman he truly loves—the one Erica could never replace—it becomes the final breaking point. Forced to watch the tenderness he never once showed her, Erica finally understands the truth of her existence: she was never more than a substitute. But instead of breaking, she chooses revenge. Seizing a rare moment alone with the woman, Erica sets a plan into motion—one designed to shatter her husband in the deepest way possible. Yet, in the midst of her calculated actions, she experiences something unexpected: a fleeting moment of genuine warmth and connection, something she had long believed was lost to her forever. That moment costs her everything. When her husband discovers them, his rage is absolute. The violence that follows ends Erica’s life—but not before she realizes that, even in her final moments, she had finally felt something real. As darkness consumes her, Erica expects the end. Instead, it is only the beginning. Awakening beyond death, with her memories intact and her regrets burning deeper than ever, Erica is given another chance—one where she will no longer be powerless, no longer be used, and no longer be denied the life she was robbed of. This time, she will take everything. She will spoil herself and not deny herself pleasure and anything she wanted.

Reverend Insanity: The Goody Two-Shoes System

Man is the spirit of all things, and gu are the refined fragments of the Great Dao. The ambition which blooms with the spring's morning breeze withers at the call of autumn's night. The accumulation of five hundred years - triumphs and failures - will be naught but ash with dawn's first light. The rising of the sun bathes the mountains in golden flame, but 'tis sunset upon the demon's time. The demonic overlord, Fang Yuan, is cornered by his enemies after word gets out that he refined the Spring Autumn Cicada - a gu worm rumored to be capable of having a chance at sending one back in time but demands a terrifying price in return - the user's entire existence! With no hope of escape, in desperation, Fang Yuan uses the Spring Autumn Cicada which miraculously lives up to its name and sends him back in time. And now, he's back in Gu Yue Village as a fifteen-year-old ready to use his knowledge of the future to conquer the world... but there's something wrong. Something is quite different this time around. What's with this new notification that keeps popping up in his view? It calls itself 'The Goody Two-Shoes System.' It also starts giving him quests to complete. "Help Fang Zheng gain his confidence back!" - get a Green Copper Relic Gu! "Help your friends refine their gu worms!" - have your aptitude raised by 2%! All of these rewards and quests before him, why are they trying to convert this demonic overlord to the path of righteousness? And aren't some of these quests kind of... sus? Why does marrying Bai Ning Bing give him an immortal gu? Whatever, anything for benefits! This is a fanfiction based on Gu Zhen Re's work 'Reverend Insanity' known in Chinese as 蛊真人 or 'Gu Taoist Master'. I don't own the rights to the original work. 'Gu' in the context of this story are mystical insects that have various powers and are the basis of the world's cultivation system.
