Evil has a reputation problem. In a world overflowing with dark lords, liches, demon queens, and world-ending prophecies, most villains rule through fear, cruelty, and expendable henchmen. Burnout is high. Survival rates are low. Dental coverage is nonexistent. Lord Malachai the Dread is different. A terrifying presence wrapped in ritual armor and apocalyptic intent, Malachai is also an unusually considerate employer. He offers full medical and dental benefits, fair wages, hazard pay, and flexible scheduling. He remembers birthdays. He helps henchmen move apartments. He believes loyalty is earned—not forced. As heroes rise, rival villains scheme, and the world edges closer to conquest or collapse, Malachai’s organization grows not because it is feared, but because it works. Henchmen choose to stay. Morale improves. Productivity rises. And slowly, quietly, the most dangerous villain of all begins to take shape—not because he is the cruelest… but because he is the most competent. This is a comedic fantasy web novel about workplace culture, loyalty, and what happens when evil finally figures out how to run itself like a functional organization. It blends sharp humor with heartfelt moments, exploring villainy through the lens of management, ethics, and the simple power of treating people well—even while plotting the end of the world. After all, anyone can rule through terror. But only a truly great villain offers dental.

"I stayed..and left to save you. Because I was afraid."— My zhù fù. --- Since the day Lìngxiāo was born, he has carried a strange condition that never lets him show pain or anger. As an independent exorcist with no controlling clan above him, he roams the land with two burning aims: to save the common people from darkness, and to clear his own name—from his own father's murder. But was he even killed? Or was it just another betrayal of the eyes? One day, his hometown Yún Xi calls him back. A town haunted by a Red Robe Ghost—where no exorcist has survived. Or were they simply removed? Carefully. Silently. Without a trace. When Lìngxiāo arrives, a silent surprise awaits him. The veil was one, but the souls were nineteen. The history held the deaths of twenty legendary family members. But wasn't it supposed to be only one ghost—the one hunting the very heir of the clan in nightmares? Chóng Fēi. Within his discovery, he realizes: the ghosts weren't just villains. They were victims of another villain too. Now, roaming with no tongues to speak, they use every way they can to communicate with him. During his investigation—through a ballad of needles and fear, all for the sake of keeping the heir alive—the one-sided puppy love of Chóng Fēi grows into deep longing and love. It becomes his reason to walk slower. To share belongings. To share feelings. A mystery not older than the town itself. Yet no one knows it—except the ones who plotted it, sitting among them all along. There was more than one mastermind. The unknown one seems above the main other too. Can someone who roots for power and legacy move for the song bird whose nature is flying around, singing quietly from a corner of a tree, searching for his origin? --- Fall Of The Royal Blue: [BONE SIDE NOVEL: Coming after the whole series of Shades Of The Exorcist's Smile] Trying to make someone permanent against the rules was always one of the biggest mistakes anyone could ever make. At the time of 5AD, there were five gods who ruled the universe: Earth, Emotion, Death, Life, and Fate. The Lord of Earth was the highest of them all. Fate was the fifth-ranked god—known as Xiǎo Jiǎng. At his peak, his followers outnumbered the other three classes combined. His kindness was so overflowing that the afterlife became unbalanced: Heaven was full, and Hell was nearly empty. But during his era of greatest glory, while visiting a distant land in disguise, he met a young boy named Kagetsu—a boy who did not belong to that world. As time passed, Xiǎo Jiǎng fell for him. The boy melted his icy yet gentle heart. The Lord of Earth saw everything. Knew everything. But nothing showed in his gaze more than the vibrant leaf-green dimmed with something heavier. Until— Xiǎo Jiǎng broke the ultimate rule: he made a human immortal so they could stay together forever. And that was when he fell. The Lord of Earth ensured they would stay together and die together—until Xiǎo Jiǎng himself let go. A curse followed him into every timeline, every universe, every new skin he was born into. This is the tale of a man who kept falling, kept running—but never stopped loving. --- Welcome to the most polished and complete world of System Tearstone!

After finishing a tragic novel where the villain is betrayed and killed by his own beast husbands, Li Wei does what any reasonable reader would do. He rants about the ending. Then he gets hit by a car. When he opens his eyes again, Li Wei finds himself inside that very novel, reborn as Su Ningyan, the future villain destined to walk a path of madness, war, and blood. Ten years before his fall. Ten years before his death. In the original story, Su Ningyan’s unstable phoenix beast core drives him toward forbidden power, turning him into a feared villain who ultimately dies at the hands of the men he loved most. This time, Li Wei refuses that fate. He will avoid the villian arc. He will heal his beast core. And he will stay far away from the four terrifying beast princes who will one day become his husbands. Unfortunately, fate has other plans. The academy meant to heal him becomes a battlefield of tension, rivalry, and instinctual bonds. The beast princes notice him far too early, and the more Su Ningyan tries to escape the plot, the tighter destiny coils around him. Because in a world ruled by beast bloodlines and ancient bonds, some connections cannot be severed only delayed. And the husbands who once killed him… may not be willing to let him go again. **** Excerpt Su Ningyan didn’t know where he was. At first, he thought he was dreaming. His body felt warm... too warm... and the scent in the air was unfamiliar, sharp and clean, like lightning after rain. He turned onto his side. And froze. A pair of golden dragon eyes stared back at him from inches away. The man was breathtaking. Long black hair spread across silk pillows, sharp features sculpted as if carved from jade. His presence alone pressed down on Su Ningyan’s chest, heavy and suffocating. His face went pale. “What the—” “You’re awake.” The man smiled faintly. Jun Haoxuan. Azure Dragon Clan. Future Beast King. And, according to the book, one of the men who would eventually become his husband. “Did you sleep well?” Jun Haoxuan asked calmly. Su Ningyan’s eye twitched. He was supposed to be avoiding them. So why was he waking up in the dragon prince’s bed?

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

Power built the Murad empire. Blood secured it. Betrayal nearly destroyed it. Across India, New York, and beyond, Sohan Kadeon Murad reigns as one of the most feared men in the underworld. CEO of eight global empires and supreme leader of the Obsidian Triad, he rules with calculated brutality. His enemies vanish. His name commands silence. Yet even the darkest king had a weakness. His wife, Riyana. And their only daughter— Lilith Mahira Baneva. Born as the final heir. The true owner of everything. When greed consumes Sohan’s own cousins, a carefully orchestrated attack shatters the Murad family. A truck collision meant to eliminate Riyana and six-year-old Lilith leaves Riyana missing and presumed dead. Lilith survives—but her mind does not. Sohan unleashes hell on those responsible, wiping out bloodlines in a storm of vengeance before being imprisoned for ten years. His final command to his eight sons: No war among yourselves. Protect your sister. Keep her away from the darkness. While the brothers rise into powerful men—ruthless, disciplined, and loyal—Lilith grows up in a mental asylum, her brilliant mind trapped in the innocence of a child. Unknown to her brothers, someone close ensures she never heals, poisoning her recovery with damaging medication to keep her fragile… and unfit to rule. At sixteen, she returns home. Beautiful. Quiet. Mischievous. Broken. The empire legally belongs to her—but the world sees only a shattered girl holding pieces of herself together. Then comes the man powerful enough to rival the Murads. The feared leader of The Dominion Apex—half Russian, half American, Indian by blood. A king among kings. Cold. Strategic. Merciless. During a high-stakes alliance meeting, a single moment changes everything. He sees Lilith Mahira Baneva. And instead of weakness, he sees something no one else dares to look for. He takes her. What begins as possession slowly shifts into something far more dangerous—an obsession neither of them expected. In her silence, he finds calm. In his darkness, she finds protection. But beneath the fragile surface of the shattered heiress lies something waiting. Healing. Memory. Power. Will Lilith Mahira Baneva rise to reclaim the empire written in her blood? Will the ruthless king fall for the girl the world underestimated? Or will secrets, betrayal, and war tear apart what remains of the Murad legacy? In a world ruled by monsters, the most dangerous throne belongs to a broken queen.

Bred to be humanity’s Messiah. Betrayed into becoming its greatest Demon. Kai Stormborn died after exacting revenge. But death could not claim him. Reborn in the Primordial Tower. A battleground where Chaos and Order wage war. And Kai? He is neither. He is something far worse, carrying a Glitch — a forbidden anomaly that lets him devour magical creatures, assimilate their abilities, and evolve. To ascend beyond mortality, Kai must consume worlds, crush their champions, and rewrite their fates. He bends the Harry Potter timeline to his will. He manipulates the Great Houses of Game of Thrones like pawns. He fuses the very realities of Demon Slayer, Bleach, and more into his domain. His Breathing Style warps the laws of Reality Marbles. His mind becomes an Artificial Intelligence. His spirit wields the Will of D. Dumbledore fears him. The Akatsuki hunt him. The Gotei 13, the Warlords, the Jedi—all have stood in his way. All have fallen. Kai no longer walks as a mere Contestant—he is ascending into something Eldritch. Corpses stack like monuments in his wake and Timelines fracture as he upends the lores of the worlds. He does not follow Chaos. He does not obey Order. He bends Reality to his will. This is not a story of redemption. It is the legend of a demonic being who rewrote the rules of existence itself. But can you stomach what comes next? *************** No Harem.

Alternative Title: Villain's Saviour, Game Over Again Lin Ji’an, a modern master chef, never expected to wake up inside a dog-blood BL cultivation novel. Worse, she transmigrated into the role of the "vicious cannon fodder", the crossdressing Third Young Master destined to humiliate the future Villain and die a miserable death by his hand. Her mission? Simple. Feed the starving slave boy and the future villain, Xie Wangchen, fix his broken body, and make sure his "Blackening Value" doesn't hit 100% and destroy the world. She beats up the arrogant Heir, face-slaps the evil Stepmother, and cooks her way into the Villain’s heart, purely to survive, of course! But as they head to the Celestial Sword Sect, Lin Ji’an realises something is wrong. She thought she was raising a cute, obedient little brother. She thought she was just a "straight bro" helping him out. She thought the main plot’s protagonists would chase the original MC. So why is the Villain looking at her with eyes darker than the abyss? Why is he threatening to cripple anyone who smiles at her? And why are the original male leads suddenly lining up to taste her cooking? Lin Ji’an: "I’m just here to cook and survive! I’m straight! And I’m a girl!" Xie Wangchen, who was sharpening his sword, looked up with a smirk tugging in the corner of his lips, "Luggage? No. You are my world. And I never let go of what is mine."
