[mature content!] A perfectly 'normal' rom-com about an immortal time-travel tutor and his four broken students.

Who says a eunuch can’t fall in love? In the noble courts of Valemont, everyone seems to agree that he cannot. Theodore von Virchow is the duke’s second son. A decorated war hero. A man of quiet authority whose cold composure makes even seasoned nobles uneasy. And he is devastatingly handsome. Tall, broad-shouldered, and sinfully good-looking, Theodore looks like a man carved by the gods themselves. Many whisper that such beauty is a cruel waste on a eunuch. With a single declaration, Theodore placed himself beyond the expectations of marriage, heirs, and romantic pursuits. Society accepted it without question. The court pitied him. The women stopped pursuing him. And life quietly moved on. Everyone accepted the truth. Everyone… except Everetta Whitmore. For thirteen years, Everetta has loved exactly one man. While society calls her foolish and her parents attempt to marry her off to more suitable lords, she refuses every offer placed before her. Because Everetta Whitmore does not believe love should be so easily abandoned. And if Theodore von Virchow truly is a eunuch? Then she intends to find out exactly what a eunuch ‘can’ do. Everetta begins a relentless pursuit that shocks the entire court. From scandalous masquerade balls to suspiciously convenient accidents in gardens, libraries, and moonlit balconies, she repeatedly throws herself into Theodore’s path with reckless determination. She bumps into him. Provokes him. Tempts him. And every time he tries to escape her, she only chases harder. Until one evening, Theodore finally snaps. “You are chasing a man who cannot give you anything,” he says coldly. “Have you no dignity?” Everetta only smiles. “Dignity?” she says sweetly. “If I cared about dignity, I wouldn’t be in love with you.” But Theodore von Virchow is a man who keeps his distance from the world, guarding himself behind silence and restraint. Least of all does he want the stubborn woman who refuses to leave him alone anywhere near his carefully ordered life. Yet the more Everetta chases him, the more impossible it becomes for him to ignore her. Because chasing a man who insists he cannot love her might ruin her reputation… but Everetta has never been afraid of scandal. … A scandalous historical romance about obsession, forbidden desire, and the relentless woman determined to prove that even a eunuch cannot escape love forever.

Wrong world. Right power. A wand in hand, a universe in mind. A first-year at Hogwarts wakes a Mythic Primordial System that speaks in principles older than magic. Spells still work—just not like the textbooks say. The System unlocks Sevenfold Insight, hardens skin to ironbound flesh, and sets quests that pay out for clever choices: earn a beast’s trust, outwit goblins at the bank, turn a duel into an alliance. While professors grade charms and hexes, he builds a hidden Sanctum and learns to weave fate-threads through choice, promise, and name. Each step bends school rules—potions become elixirs, brooms become windcraft, shields become bodies that do not break. Dark wizards scheme in shadow. The System is already there, several moves ahead. Magic meets myth—and the syllabus will never survive it.

If I’m already the villain… I might as well rewrite the story. Waking up as Shigaraki Tomura years before canon should have meant one thing—eventually becoming All For One’s successor and the future enemy of hero society. He has no intention of letting that happen. With a newly awakened system and knowledge of what’s coming, he decides to take control of his own fate. Instead of blindly following the path laid out for Shigaraki, he begins building something different: influence in the underworld, a growing circle of villains… and a second identity meant to walk straight into U.A. His first step comes during the Sludge Villain incident, where he publicly intervenes, defeats the villain, and introduces himself to the world as someone who stands on the side of those labeled “evil.” Heroes see a dangerous new figure. All Might sees a threat to society’s ideals. But to the forgotten and rejected, he might be something else entirely. This is the story of a Shigaraki who refuses to be a pawn—and intends to change hero society from both sides.

On an ordinary day, he stood behind the counter with his eyes half-closed, quietly and diligently making ramen—just as he always did. Until one moment changed everything. A mysterious Golden List suddenly appeared across heaven and earth, reshaping the entire Shinobi World. One after another, new rankings lit up: Ninjutsu List, Kekkei Genkai List, Tailed Beast List, Beauty List, Handsome List, Five Kage Power List, Acting List, Overall Combat List… Anyone who placed on a list would receive unimaginable rewards. Then chaos truly began. When Kaguya Ōtsutsuki seized the top of the Beauty List… the world was stunned. When Naruto Uzumaki emerged as number one on the Five Kage Power List… the nations trembled. And when Hiruzen, Itachi, Obito, and Danzō dominated the Acting List— their “performances,” secrets, and hidden deeds were exposed before the entire world. The revelation left the Shinobi World speechless. So this is how dirty the ninja world really was? From shocking truths to rewritten destinies, the Golden List is about to tear open every hidden story— starting with Naruto himself.

An Uchiha in Konoha… with a pirate emperor’s power in his veins. In a village that fears the Uchiha, Uchiha Ren gains a mysterious System—and with it, the Whitebeard Template. No hand seals. No mercy. Just overwhelming power: Armament Haki, Conqueror’s Haki, and a will that crushes opponents before he even strikes. The elders want him controlled. The clan wants him claimed. But Ren only wants one thing—to rise to the top on his own terms.

a kid who hasn’t seen kindness in a World full of cruel people

# Cultivation Through Desires ## Synopsis Marcus was a billionaire who had everything except what mattered. Money. Success. An empire built on code and logic. But no connection. No passion. No life beyond the screen. Then a black sphere tore through reality itself. One moment he stood on a luxury cruise near Dubai. The next he crashed onto an alien world where humans flew on swords and shattered mountains with their fists. Planet Tianxu. A world ruled by cultivation sects where power determined everything and the weak were crushed without mercy. Marcus should have died in the first week. Instead something ancient awakened within him. The Heavenly Kama Scripture. A sacred text from the God of Love and Kindness who once ruled the heavens before the cultivation sects erased his name from history. The ancient deity believed that true power came not from rejecting desire but from embracing it. From understanding the deepest yearnings of the heart and transforming them into unstoppable strength. Now Marcus carries this forbidden system. A cultivation path that grows stronger through connection. Through understanding. Through the very desires the orthodox sects consider weakness. But the cultivation world has rules written in blood. The sects that dominate Tianxu built their power on suppressing emotion and severing mortal attachments. They view the God of Love and Kindness as a heretic. His scripture as corruption. If they discover what Marcus carries they will hunt him to the ends of the world. Marcus must learn to survive in a realm where a single mistake means death. Where flying swordsmen patrol the skies and demonic beasts lurk in ancient forests. Where cultivators treat mortals like livestock and power is the only language anyone respects. He has no cultivation base. No allies. No understanding of the world's ruthless hierarchy. But he has something the cultivation world forgot. He understands desire. Ambition. The driving forces that make humans human. And in a world that demands you abandon your humanity to gain power Marcus will prove that the greatest strength comes from embracing what you are. The sects of Tianxu built their thrones on suppressing desire. Marcus will tear those thrones down by wielding it. --- **Genre:** Eastern Fantasy, Cultivation, System, Harem **Tags:** Transmigration, Weak to Strong, Cunning Protagonist, Ruthless Protagonist, Beautiful Female Lead, Ancient Gods, Forbidden Technique, Sect Politics,dual cultivation. **Warning:** This novel contains mature themes including violence and some lemons.

In a world scarred by endless conflict, power decides everything... Cities rise and fall under the rule of the SI Army, an overwhelming force that claims order while leaving ruins ...in its wake. Beneath the surface of this broken world, rebellion stirs—quiet, desperate, and relentless. People are born unequal. Some wield strange forces, others rely only on steel, will, and resolve. Trust is fragile, history is buried, and truth is often rewritten by those who survive. Amid the chaos, a young soldier struggles to find his place in a system that values strength above all else. As alliances shift and hidden motives surface, one thing becomes clear: This world is heading toward something far worse than war.... And when it arrives, no one will be ready.
