"Ding! You have awakened the most awesome system. Host, be ready to have the ride of your life!" Yan Xiao froze. "Beep, beep, beep, beep!" "Warning, warning!" "Detecting a Late Stage Qi Refining Demon Beast—Scarlet Flame Beast—active!" "Given the current strength of the weak host, please evacuate this area as soon as possible, or there will be life-threatening danger!" This sudden sound made Yan Xiao freeze. "System?" "A Late Stage Qi Refining Stage Demon Beast?!!!" Hearing this sound, he was completely bewildered. This is a legitimate Dharma Ending Era world. Where would a Qi Refining Stage Demon Beast come from? And what is this System? "Ding! Retreat quickly!" "Huh... Ding! Holy crap, detecting the host's ultimate counter-kill of a Late Stage Qi Refining Demon Beast—the Scarlet Flame Beast!" "Reward:  100 years of Qi Refining stage one energy One Cultivation Manual - Scarlet Flame World Destroyer!" "The host's Divine Might is unparalleled, but please do not engage in such dangerous behavior next time!" Hearing the voice in his mind and looking at the corpse of the "Late Stage Qi Refining Demon Beast" on the ground. Yan Xiao raised an eyebrow. What The Hell! There is something wrong with this System! The "Late Stage Qi Refining Demon Beast"  that he had just stomped to death. In reality, it was just a cockroach. Yes! It was the most common, ordinary kind of pest.

In the 170th year of Yong’an of the Great Wei Dynasty, a secret scandal broke out within a princely household, one that shook both the imperial court and the immortal sects alike. The only son of the Northern Garrison Prince, infamous throughout the realm as utterly worthless and rotten to the core, was in truth the lowly son of a stable slave, switched at birth years ago by the Demonic Sect. The real heir, meanwhile, turned out to be a true disciple of a Sage, newly appointed top Scholar, having already cultivated a breath of Righteous Qi of the Vast Heavens. For a time, all of Great Wei erupted in jubilation. People everywhere congratulated the princely household on rectifying the origin and returning to the source, on finally recovering their qilin-born prodigy. ....... “Yeah, it really is worth celebrating, if only this so-called fake heir weren’t me.” Gu Fangchen faced the Northern Garrison Prince and the true heir who had come to confront him, then glanced at the randomly assigned profession hovering above his head: [Emperor (1 day)] [Skill One: Mandate of Heaven (Passive)] [Skill Two: Power of Life and Death (Active)] That year, the Northern Garrison Princess Consort was still gentle as water, doting on her child to the point of indulgence. The Eldest Princess was cold as frost, proud and aloof, a single smile worth a fortune. The Younger Princess was sweet, foolishly adorable, obsessed with heroic young knights, and most of all despised shameless villains. The Grand Princess struck fear across battlefields as a peerless war god. The female State Preceptor could overturn clouds and rain with a mere turn of her hand. The moment Gu Fangchen opened his eyes, he knew it: He had transmigrated to become an emperor. Those who follow me shall prosper. Those who oppose me shall perish.

Mo Yuan was one step away from shattering the heavens. As the supreme Immortal Ascendant Emperor, he had sacrificed everything to reach the peak of the Outer Void Battlefield—only to be stabbed in the back by his wife and sworn brother during his final tribulation. ​His cultivation bone ripped out. His fortune stolen. His life extinguished. ​When he opens his eyes again, the blood-soaked Emperor finds himself in a familiar, sunlit room. He has regressed back to his youth as a frail mortal, the son of a poor village carpenter. His family, who died tragically in his past life, is alive and well. ​Exhausted by a millennium of slaughter, Mo Yuan makes a vow: no cultivation, no revenge, no fighting. He only wants to live a quiet life and pursue the dream he never had time for in his past life—becoming a painter. ​But the Universe refuses to let a supreme sovereign live as a mortal. ​Mo Yuan has no formal painting skills, but his soul carries the weight of a supreme Emperor. Without realizing it, his crude, clumsy brushstrokes leak terrifying "Supreme Dao Intent." A simple sparrow painted on a block of wood terrifies outer sect disciples into madness. A crumpled ball of ink thrown into the snow forcibly brings spring to a dead winter. A painting of the night sky accidentally eclipses the real moon, sending ancient sects into widespread panic. ​Mo Yuan thinks he is just bad at mixing ink. The cultivation world thinks a primordial god has descended. ​Yet, fate is cruel. Despite his terrifying hidden power, he cannot stop the tragic gears of the heavens. When his peaceful life is inevitably turned to ash, Mo Yuan does not pick up a sword. He picks up his brush. ​Using the ashes of his ruined home, he steps onto a new, forbidden path of cultivation. He is a wandering artist, a "Pain Carrier," whose masterpieces can heal severed realms, summon primordial beasts, or act as weapons that slice through reality itself. He doesn't cultivate for immortality, nor does he care for revenge against those who betrayed him. ​He cultivates through longing. And when the heavens try to take the one woman who truly loves the artist rather than the Emperor, Mo Yuan will paint a path straight through the Outer Void, defying the entire universe to get her back.

In a cruel cultivation world where power is absolute and weakness is devoured, a degenerate otaku from modern Earth dies mid-fap to the most extreme non-con BDSM hentai. He transmigrates into the broken, crippled body of **Ye Chen**, a trash young master betrayed and left for dead by his arrogant fiancée and her powerful lover. But this time, the heavens grant him something truly demonic. **[Abyssal Domination Lust System]** activates, turning his entire path into pure sexual conquest and extreme pornography. No gentle dual cultivation. No mutual affection at first. Only raw, brutal domination. Ye Chen’s mission is simple yet endless: Hunt the continent’s most talented, beautiful, and prideful female cultivators — sect princesses, icy saintesses, demonic goddesses, ancient reincarnations, rival clan heiresses, and more — then rape, break, and claim them through relentless BDSM and forced pleasure. Using shadow-binding chains, potent aphrodisiacs that turn virgin bodies into dripping messes, pain-amplification Qi, and the **Eternal Slave Collar**, he violently deflowers them, stretches their tight holes, chokes them while pounding, whips their asses raw, and floods their wombs with thick cum. Every mind-shattering orgasm extracts massive Yin essence, fueling explosive cultivation breakthroughs. The more humiliating and painful the domination, the stronger he becomes.

"You completed the Consort Rite," the Demon Prince murmured, his gaze dark and terrifyingly devoted as he looked down at me. "I have waited twenty years for you." I stared at the stolen, two-tailed cat purring in my arms. Then I looked back at the most feared man in the empire...the exiled noble with cursed pink hair and a reputation for ruthless slaughter. Oh gods. He thinks I’m his fated wife. To save my dying sister, I did the unthinkable: I infiltrated the Northern Lord's estate to steal a handful of fur from his sacred spirit-cat. I just didn't expect the ancient, mischievous nekomata to adopt me on the spot, triggering a forgotten onmyodo magic that bound me to its terrifying master. Now, I'm trapped playing the role of the beloved Consort to the Demon Prince. He treats me with a fierce, absolute reverence that makes my heart pound, and I'm starting to realize the monsters in the Imperial Court are far more dangerous than the man I'm lying to. But what happens when the most powerful man in the empire discovers our marriage was built on a stolen cat?

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same.

Aiden was reborn into a cultivation realm, carrying the abilities of his former in-game avatar, a necromancer. All he ever wanted was to adapt, keep his head down, and survive in this ruthless, law-of-the-jungle world. But destiny had other intentions. A chain of misfortunes forced his hand, setting him on a path he never intended to walk, one that drove him to rise above all others, dominate the world with his undead army, and ascend as a supreme existence in the cosmos.

"I woke up inside a corpse that died in Chapter 7. Brain-dead by page 12—just disposable lore for the real hero. But the vessel opened its eyes, and I drew Death (XIII)." His [Cursed Mouth] speaks structural truths: "Your leg will bleed tomorrow." They called it a devil's curse when the mother screamed. He calls it pattern recognition. Now he wields the Rumoured Deck—22 Major Arcana, 22 ghost contracts. Each secret housed makes him harder to delete. He calculates death with a deck of ghosts. The only question is whether he collapses the panel borders first—or the plot swallows him whole.

Immortality. It feels like a word drawn from the edge of a dying man’s imagination. Does it even exist, or is it something people speak of in passing, half believed and half dismissed? Many say it is nothing more than a myth. Others claim chasing it is the obsession of fools. Longevity? A few extra centuries, if one is lucky. But true immortality? That belongs to stories, not reality. Jiang Chen has heard it all. But his answer is simple. What is a man’s insanity? It is to walk a road knowing it may lead nowhere, and still refuse to turn back. To make an enemy of the world, to be hailed as a genius and feared as a demon. To become heartless and cruel, unmoved by the fleeting pleasures of life. To stand apart from the mundane, untouched and unbound by the shackles of regret. To dare. To believe. To struggle. Tell me, does it make sense? Do you understand his heart? Truth be told, Jiang Chen cares not for your understanding. From an unnoticed outer sect disciple to a demonic figure who shakes four continents, this is the story of a man who gave his heart to immortality. ------ Tags: #Selfish Protagonist #No Romance #Pursuit of immortality #Evil Protagonist

Now, I'm letting you two be a loving couple ten years earlier. What are you hesitating for!" Chen Wanqing: "!" * The difference in Zhao Jing's life, from being a commoner to enjoying a prosperous official career and leaving his name in history, was just one Chen Wanqing. * Younger cousin: "What about Zhao Jing's bad luck? What about his life full of hardships? How is it that after marrying my older cousin, he has risen rapidly and enjoys a prosperous official career?" I'm totally freaking out! Could it be that I was reborn just to bring them together sooner!

Yun Wanqing transmigrated into a book and became the pitiful and short-lived cannon fodder sister of the vicious female supporting character in the story. Thinking about the tragic fate awaiting her family, Yun Wanqing cried out in her heart. "Mother, you kindly took in the cousin, yet she covets my father and wants to become his concubine. Soon, she will harm you to death~" "Father, you were set up by the female protagonist, and after your death, your head was displayed on the enemy’s city wall to be scorched by the sun, becoming Da Wu Country’s shame~" "Elder sister is the female protagonist, but her fortune is taken away, turning her into a vicious female supporting character. Later, she is abandoned by her fiancé and tortured to death by the female protagonist’s suitors~" "Elder brother, a virtuous and noble gentleman, is betrayed by friends, ending up blind, deaf, and fighting with dogs for food in the streets~" "Second brother, a demonic prodigy, loses his memory overnight, is picked up by the female protagonist, and becomes her lapdog, helping her kill Seventh Uncle and his beloved. Ultimately, his beloved dies in his arms, and he draws his sword to kill himself." "As for me, well, I was shot through the heart by ten thousand arrows along with Seventh Uncle!!!" Later, Yun Wanqing astonishingly discovers that the family’s character settings have collapsed. Mother dealt with the cousin in advance, father wasn’t killed, elder sister married the Emperor and became his only beloved in the harem. Elder brother was the first to betray his friend, second brother married his beloved, and even Seventh Uncle wasn’t a major antagonist, but instead became the most sought-after eligible bachelor among the noble women in the capital. As for her, she was cherished and pampered by the entire family. Yun Wanqing was baffled, how did the whole villainous family change their fate against the heavens? The plot has collapsed way too absurdly, hasn’t it? Did she transmigrate into a fake book?

Many years after the era of immortal cultivation, one day someone carelessly asked the Demon Queen, “I heard that the First Lady of the Demon Realm is your dear sister-friend?” Upon hearing this, the Demon Queen's eyebrows shot up and her almond-shaped eyes widened, “Dear sister-friend my ass, she stole my man!” No sooner had she spoken these words than the exceptionally handsome man beside her slowly shifted his gaze from the book in his hands and cast her a fleeting glance, making the inquirer feel as if the temperature in the hall had suddenly dropped, and their body had plunged into an icy cavern... The Demon Queen glared at the man nonchalantly, “Did I say something wrong?” It later became known that the Demon King's wife and the Demon Queen were once close friends who became enemies over a man, a scandal that spread across all realms. Then someone with a death wish approached the First Lady of the Demon Realm, who always looked gentle and kind, and asked, “Madam, I heard that it was the Wolf Clan's Demon Queen who brought you to this realm back in the day, and that afterwards you both ventured through various realms together, facing life and death side by side as sworn sisters. But later... I heard that you and her... had a falling out over a man?” With a slight smile, the Demon King's wife gently sipped from her white porcelain teacup and said, “Did she say I stole her man?” After nodding in acknowledgment, “That is indeed the case!” The listener was taken aback, internally exclaiming, “So the rumors are true, did our Madam Wang actually have an affair with that Demon Queen?” While lost in thought, the listener heard the tea-drinker add another sentence, “But... she also stole my man after all!” The questioner's eyes widened, and their mouth gaped open. Before they could even take a breath of cool air in shock, So you two were swapping partners? At that moment, a sudden loud bang came from outside, and a voice bellowed like a mighty bell, “Boom...” “You said... who is your man?”
