Everly, a connoisseur of orphan-to-riches tropes, always assumed her origin story began with a dramatic abandonment at the orphanage gates. Turns out, her life was even more cliché than her favorite novels! She wasn't merely dumped; she was swapped—a long-lost heiress to a vast fortune. Just when she thought her life couldn't get any more tropey, a mysterious System materialized, offering her a chance at a "good ending." The catch? Its "abilities" ranged from the utterly bizarre to the downright mortifying, making Everly question if a happy ending was truly worth the existential cringe. *** System 006: [Host, please choose 1 of these 3 system abilities!] Everly: "They're all weird! Let me just pick random!" System 006: [Hehe... host, I forgot to say that each system will have consequences, so something will happen to you when you use it...] Everly: "!!!" Days later, having been reunited with her biological family and experimenting with the System's... unique function, the consequence were already glaringly apparent. Her beloved brother: "My little sister is precious, but I need therapy to keep up with her alien-like thinking." Handsome man 1: "She's a pervert! I'm scared she'll take my innocence..." Handsome man 2: "Every time she talks, I feel like killing her. Is that normal?" NOTE: Please disconnect all logical circuits before proceeding with this novel, as it's an absolute chaotic comedy where the MC, Everly, has several screws loose in her brain. Don't expect much normalcy here—sanity checked out long ago and never came back.

Her seemingly pathetic life turns for the worse when her husband dies in a ghastly car accident. On the day of her husband's funeral, a man arrives at the memorial venue, flaunting naked pictures of himself and Carmelita entangled intimately, while claiming he is responsible for her mysterious pregnancy.

What would happen when Carmelita, now Hiraya, is confronted by Kendrick Silva - an enigmatic business tycoon and the third heir to the richest family in LampStone- for the damage to his car and for stealing his heart?

Malachi Archer: The Billionaire Tycoon returns. Rhys looked at the photo of the cold, handsome billionaire, then at his own reflection. The resemblance was terrifying.

Seung-ho's life took a drastic turn when his parents divorced. Born to an American father and a Korean mother, he was forced to navigate a new reality. At 14, his mother moved to South Korea, leaving him behind. Seung-ho, a carefree individual, chose to stay with his father. However, fate had other plans. Three years later, his father's business ventures required him to relocate to South Korea. Seung-ho, now 17, reluctantly agreed to move, leaving behind his friends and familiar surroundings. As he settled into his new life, Seung-ho's desire for a simple existence was disrupted by a mysterious force - the Criminal Gossip System. This entity bound him to a life of crime, forcing him to commit atrocities to earn life energy and gossip points. His refusal to comply would result in punishment, while success would bring rewards. Seung-ho's exceptional acting skills, honed through his experiences, earned him the title of "god tier actor." His performances were so realistic that they sparked re-investigations of cold cases, generating massive social impact. However, his internal conflict grew, acknowledging that his actions were driven by the system's requirements. Despite his success, Seung-ho's memories were shrouded in mystery. He possessed a dual personality, wiped away, and a protector who seemed to appear and disappear without a trace. This protector, Cheong Chengzhou, had connections in the underworld, politics, and military. Seung-ho's stepfamily was extraordinary, with a legendary film emperor as his eldest sister, a medical genius as his second sister, and a world-famous racing champion as his third brother. He also had other tycoon siblings. As Seung-ho navigated his complex life, he set up a fortune-telling stall, predicting marriages, revealing long-lost family secrets, and exposing powerful families' dark pasts. His unique way of "divination" through listening to animals and spirits gossip earned him a reputation as a mystic. Seung-ho's life was a web of intrigue, with his system requiring him to commit crimes to extend his lifespan. He struggled with this, but his acting skills and "micro expression control" allowed him to fulfill the system's demands. His performances were terrifyingly realistic, shocking those around him. With his "criminal profiling" and "perfect disguise" skills, Seung-ho continued to take on complex roles. His work generated massive social impact, establishing his "personal criminal brand effect." But Seung-ho's true identity remained a mystery, hidden behind his calm and handsome exterior. Unbeknownst to him, his protector, Cheong Chengzhou, had been watching over him, hiding in plain sight. Their lives were intertwined, yet they remained oblivious to each other's true identities. Fate had brought them together, but would they ever discover the truth about each other? Seung-ho's dual personality, known as Ace, was notorious in the underworld. His crime partner, Joker, was equally feared. Together, they were known as Ace and Joker, a duo that struck fear into the hearts of even the most hardened criminals. Their exploits were the stuff of legend, with some claiming they were two sides of the same coin, united in their brutality and cunning. As Seung-ho navigated his complex life, he became a famous figure in the entertainment world, helping solve cases and exposing dark secrets. But even with his newfound fame, he remained unaware that Cheong Chengzhou was his stepbrother, a fact that would change everything.

Viola Linden wasn’t your average girl, nor was she meek or weak. Cold-hearted. She had been the villain in countless stories, untouchable and adored by the Alpha heir, until the night her wolf was supposed to awaken, and fate played its cruelest joke. She fell to the lowest rank in her pack, rejected by her sworn mate. Stripped of status, strength, and even her wolf, she was forced to live a life worse than that of an omega. Imprisoned and alone, Viola’s only hope of escape lay in finding her wolf, or her fated mate. Only, a dark past kept her powers dormant… and her fated mate didn’t want her. He was an Alpha who had sworn off love, hardened by loss and a so called prophecy, certain he would never allow another woman into his life. But fate is a cruel trickster, and this fragile, broken girl carried a power he could neither ignore nor control. A wolfless Luna with fire in her veins, capable of shaking his empire to its core, and a desire that threatened to consume them both. When suppressed powers awaken and desire refuses to be denied, Viola will challenge everything he thought he knew, and show him that even the most untouchable Alpha can be undone by the woman he refuses to claim. ~~~ "You wear that mask as if it hides your intentions," she murmured, her gaze locked on his eyes through the fabric. He tilted his head, a slow smirk curling his lips. "It hides my weakness. And you… you’re the only one who can see through it." "You didn’t have to come tonight," she whispered, her voice trembling slightly. "And let someone else touch what’s already mine?" His words were low, almost dangerous. "I don’t belong to you. You never wanted me," she shot back, though her pulse betrayed her. "Then why did your hand find mine in that room full of strangers?" Before she could answer, he spun her, his arm sliding possessively around her waist, pulling her chest flush against him. The heat from his body pressed into her, igniting a fire she hadn’t expected. "Careful. People are watching us," she said, half command, half plea. "Let them," he whispered close to her ear. "Maybe honesty deserves an audience." "You’re dangerous in crowds," she breathed, shivering despite herself. "I'm worse alone with you, Mi amor." "Then step away," she challenged, though the words trembled. "Make me." The music slowed and faded, but the tension between them only grew, thick and consuming. Her heart pounded in her chest, her breath shallow, as she felt the pull he had on her, magnetic and undeniable. "If this ends badly…" she warned, fear threading her words. "It won’t," he said, his voice a low promise that sent heat straight through her veins. "It will end with you in my arms… whether you want it or not." ~~~ WARNING MATURE CONTENT!

"Ah, Young Master, Cassius?...I'm afraid you'll be dissapointed to hear that he's not available at the moment as he's 'attending' to his adopted mother in her room." Cassius's lovely maid, Isabelle said in a fluster while she heard lewd sounds escape from her Mistress's room. "No, I'm sorry to say that you can't meet Young Master today, since he's 'helping out' his sister-in-law with some 'favours' in her garden." The innocent Isabelle excused herself as she witnessed her lady's flower being picked, instead of the rest of the flowers in the garden. "I hate to say this sir but Young Master, Cassius is currently guiding Miss Knight in the 'ways of the sword', so you can probably only meet him tomorrow." Isabelle once again blocked the guests from entering, knowing that the sword her Young Master was handling could penetrate a body, but could never wound one. "I apologise once again as Young Master is at the Capital right now teaching a class to the female students in the Academy." Isabelle said with her cheeks flushed, already knowing that her master was taking a very 'practical' lesson about human reproduction with the girls in his class. "Oh my! The King wants to meet the Young Master?...Well I guess he'll have to wait since Young Master, Cassius has gone clothes shopping with the Queen." Isabelle lied to the King himself, knowing that her Young Master wasn't shopping for clothes and was actually removing the royal clothes off the Mother of the Country. Excuses...Excuses...The loyal maid, Isabelle had no choice but to make excuses for her Young Master, who was the most talked about and hated noble on the Continent because of his depraved escapades with all sorts of woman ranging from his own Family to Royalty itself and his Tyranical rule over his estate. And to think that not too long ago he was considered a wastrel noble, who was going to drink himself to death one day. ...When did it all begin she wondered as she excitedly walked into his room to get the reward she deserved for being such a loyal made, while someone else made excuses for her this time. •°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°• [No NTR - No sharing - No system that assists the protagonist - No mind control - No drugs or potions that influence the girls - No unnecessary Drama - Incest - Harem - Hardcore Netori - Slice of Life Romance - Demigirls - Elves - Vampires - Beast Girls - Slaves - Royalty - Finally a very competent protagonist] discord.gg/ujeKWchgeb

"Now you see?" she shouted in a tone that was somewhere between annoyance and disappointment. "You can’t outsmart Scrients! They’re the most intelligent beings across the two realms!" "You’re right," I muttered, averting my gaze with a solemn sigh. "I made a mistake. I was arrogant to think a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "...Wh-What was that?" "Hmm? I’m not sure. Maybe you should go and ask the most intelligent beings across the two realms. Oh wait! You can’t. I killed them all." --- My name is Samael Kaizer Theosbane. On the last day of high school, I got into a fight with a kid I used to bully. It was a stupid and pointless scuffle. And in the middle of it, I tripped and smacked my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in… Memories of a different life. Memories of another world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First: I was inside a game I used to play in my past life. Second: I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool, mysterious, tragic kind either! No, I was the worst kind of cliché — a spoiled, insufferable, and arrogant young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. You know the type! The one everyone hates. The one the hero would beat into the ground to show everyone just how strong and righteous he is. Yeah. I was that guy! My fate was to be a stepping stone for the main characters, be manipulated by a Demon Prince, and die a dog's death. And the hero? The hero was the same kid I’d been bullying all this time. The one I just got into a fight with. He was supposed to be the savior of this damned world. A world teetering on the edge of destruction, beset by wars, calamities, and a grim future that only I knew. And waiting at the end of it all was the final antagonist. The unbeatable nightmare. …The Spirit King. But could I even make it to the end? Could I really survive in a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that had now become my reality? “Ah, fuck it.” I had no idea if I could. But I sure as hell was going to try. Extorting extras, manipulating main characters, altering the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains long before they could become threats — nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected by my actions? Excellent! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me. My survival. My life. My choices. “I’ll live this life with no regrets.” ...But as I soon discovered, fate wasn't so easily changed. And the price of rewriting your destiny was steep. ========== Discord Server: https://discord.gg/VjFQtDUaTR

My engagement ended in humiliation. One moment, I was the bride-to-be. Next, my fiancé was slipping a ring onto another woman’s finger—nope, not just anyone, my half-sister! And the whole city watched. So I did the unthinkable. I kissed the one man I was never supposed to touch—his aloof, very hot, useless uncle. Dominic Fletcher. It was supposed to be revenge. A scandal to wipe away my shame. Until he stole my bra and with it, my senses… and my already fragile heart. “Give it back!” I demanded, reaching for my bra, but he only lifted it higher. “I’ll keep this as a memento, Kitten,” he murmured, eyes dark, voice dangerously seductive. But Dominic Fletcher was far from useless. Behind the nonchalant façade was a ruthless power only I had glimpsed. And now, he wants to help me take my revenge— “Marry me, sweetness,” Dominic rasped, gaze sharp as steel. “I’ll make everyone who offended you a foot mat. What do you say?” How could I say no? I’d do anything to make that worthless, piece-of-shit scumbag ex lose sleep for the rest of his life and become his worst nightmare. So I said yes—to his uncle. I became his aunt-in-law. Then I returned, victorious and unbroken. My family pleaded for me to forgive them. My ex-fiancé fell to his knees, clutching my hand. “Let’s start again, Harper,” he begged. “You’re the only one I cherish...”

"Husband, I think I offended your entire board of directors today." Gu Jianlin replied calmly, "Then they deserved it." "Husband, I slapped someone again." "Which hand? Does it hurt?"

In his past life, Huo Yuhao was the obedient son-in-law, Tang San's perfect pawn. He endured manipulation, lost his loved ones, and was forced to serve the Tang Clan. But before the Divine Realm collapsed, Yuhao took his revenge: a dagger in his "father-in-law's" back and a leap into the temporal void. Fate granted him a second chance, but with a cruelly amusing twist: he has awakened 10,000 years before Tang San is even born. When little Tang San finally opens his eyes on the Douluo Continent, thinking he is a unique genius with his "Tang Sect Hidden Weapons," he has no idea that the Supreme God ruling the world from the shadows knows him better than he knows himself.

“Sign the contract, Elena. Your mother lives, but your life belongs to me.” Elena Lin was at the bottom of the abyss. Her father was framed for medical malpractice, her family estate was seized by the Blackwood conglomerate, and now, her mother lay dying on a hospital bed she couldn't afford. In a moment of desperation, she uses a forbidden technique from her family’s ancient scrolls—the Phoenix Needle—to save a dying elderly man in a parking lot. She expected a thank-you; she didn't expect to be cornered by the man’s grandson, the terrifying Alexander Blackwood. Alexander is a man of ice—literally. Stricken by a mysterious affliction that Western doctors call a "nerve disorder" but Elena recognizes as a lethal Yin Curse, he needs a miracle. He offers Elena a deal: Marry him for one year, act as his personal "stabilizer" through her mysterious touch, and he will pay for her mother’s surgery and help her clear her father’s name. But there is a catch: Alexander is the man who signed the order that ruined her father. Inside the cold, gilded halls of the Blackwood Mansion, Elena must play the role of a submissive "trophy bride" by day, while secretly using her oriental arts to dismantle her enemies by night. As she navigates high-society galas and corporate assassinations, she discovers that Alexander’s "curse" isn't a disease at all—it’s a spiritual attack from a hidden world she thought only existed in her father’s legends. As the needles fly and the Qi flows, the ice around Alexander’s heart begins to melt. But when the truth of the past is revealed, will Elena’s healing touch be enough to save the man she was supposed to hate? A story of ancient pulses, modern hearts, and the secret medicine that can heal anything—except a broken heart. To save her mother’s life, Elena Lin sold her soul to the man who destroyed her family—never imagining that her "forbidden" oriental arts were the only thing keeping the cold-blooded CEO from a supernatural death.
