Xiao Qingya was reincarnated as a pitiful cannon fodder in an ancient drama novel. Well, again.  In her grandfather’s generation, her maternal family was exiled. Now they worked in the countryside as farmers. But… this family wasn't ordinary farmers! The family was full of main characters, but also cannon fodder. The author wrote a lot of stories featuring the same universe. Her mother, father, brothers, and sisters were the future major characters. The mother was a female protagonist who went through so much abuse just to be reunited with her husband and awaken her memories in the previous life as a modern woman! The twin elder sisters’ lives were full of misunderstandings, the kind that would make them fight to the death until only one of them remained alive. The second brother lost his life just to protect the female lead, but unfortunately, the male lead in his story wasn’t him. And the eldest brother…  He was a prodigy in both martial arts and medicine. However, after he failed to save the sickly Xiao Qingya, he fell into depression. He was caught up in his younger twin sisters’ feud and eventually lost his life, too. *** The System fell silent after it read yet another pitiful cannon fodder script. Why did it even get bound to such a small baby who had no power to do anything yet? Its host was truly pitiful. This time around, she would also die young, just like the other books she had been reincarnated into. Feeling useless, it could only tell its host the truth.  Xiao Qingya didn't mind at all. Bored, she spent her time gossiping with ghosts. Yes, she could also see ghosts! However, just as she waited for her time to log off from the book… Eh, why did her parents reunite early? Her sisters lived peacefully with each other, and even her brothers thrived more than ever. They are farming peacefully! They were saving themselves from famine and plague by hoarding! The family replied in their hearts: It’s because we heard your inner thoughts. You changed the family’s fate!

He was the King of Kings—until the Author rewrote him. Noah ruled worlds, shaped laws, and commanded reality itself… until a penstroke stripped him of everything. Banished to the Abyss—a realm where authority is borrowed and divinity is mocked—he’s forced to start again from zero. But Noah doesn’t kneel. He hunts. With a chaos-born princess at his side and rebellion in his blood, he’ll tear through puppet monarchs, unravel the threads of fate, and claw his way back to the top. The narrative may bind others— But he remembers being the one who wrote it. This time, the story obeys him. And when the final page turns, even the Author will bleed.

I’m your average girl—well, *was*—who spends most of her days buried in CEO romance novels. Yeah, I know, *so cliche*, right? But hey, we all have our guilty pleasures. So, what about work, you ask? Well, my job made it easy to read the day away as long as I got my tasks done by the end of the day. Sounds perfect, right? Simple, right? Well, that's because I was a librarian. *Past tense.* Why? Because some arrogant, narcissistic jerk gets me fired. Why? Apparently, I didn’t notice him walking up to the counter because I was too busy getting lost in my latest book. Now, you’d think any *normal* person would just tap me on the shoulder and say, “Excuse me.” But no, this guy *decides* to get me fired. Rude? Oh, you bet. But that’s not even the worst part. Oh, no. The real problem started when I decided to get my revenge. That’s when I got tangled up with him… in more ways than one. Now, not only am I working for this narcissistic jerk, but I’m doing it undercover. Why? Because apparently, he has an issue with women working for him... especially when things get *too close* in the sheets. (Yeah, you *get* where this is going.) So, I’m pretending to be a man. Why? Because I need the job. It’s high-paying, and it’s my ticket out of my miserable, *pathetic* life. I mean, revenge is great and all, but I’ve got bills to pay. Money’s my new love, and there’s no way I’m letting some petty rivalry get in the way of it. The tricky part? Balancing my need for cash with the fear of being exposed. I’ve got two huge secrets: one, I’m the woman who shared the sheets with him. And two? I’m a woman, disguised as a man, and praying every day that my cover doesn’t blow. One wrong move, and my entire life—my job, my reputation, my *revenge*—could come crashing down. So, yeah, no pressure. But hey, what’s life without a little drama, right? Right."

“Ethan, I challenge you!” “Are you sure?” Ethan asked calmly. “My father is the Gym Leader of Starlight City, my brother is the Gym Leader of Emberfall City. I started training Pokémon at the age of three, mastered the Art of Pokémon Warfare by five, defeated all rivals my age by seven, and retired from the battle scene at eleven. Are you certain you want to fight me? If you insist, then put up all your pocket money as the wager!” “W-wow… I won’t challenge you anymore.” Ding! “Congratulations, Host, for completing the novice mission ‘Winning Without Fighting.’” Winning Without Fighting: A powerful trainer can defeat opponents purely with presence. Achieve 10 victories without using Pokémon. Progress: 10/10. Mission complete. Congratulations, Host, you have received the Novice Gift Pack.” Hearing the system’s prompt, Ethan burst into tears. He had finally completed his beginner mission. --------------------------------------------------------- This novel is a Real World Pokémon Novel but I edited it very thoroughly that you can just think of it as just set on a fanmade region (a massive one).

Julien was a failed youth before the portals to otherworlds appeared on earth. When he awakened a rare skill, he believed his luck had finally turned, that it would open a path to an easy, happy life. Well… he was wrong. [Skill: The Infinite Warehouse] [Rank: SSS] [Description:] You have been granted administrative access to the Multiversal Supply Chain. You do not own the items within. You are merely the Distributor. Swords that splits the sea and Potions that could heal a fatal wound. Now everything lies in Julien’s hands, and the fate of the world depends on who he chooses to supply. Because Earth’s portals don’t just lead to dungeons. Some leads to other planets, ruined timelines, and parallel worlds where intelligent species watch Earth as their next conquest. As invasions escalate and gods, monsters, and entire civilizations turn their eyes toward humanity, Julien is forced to stand on the front line of defence, even if he never wanted to.

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.

Please note: The synopsis is inadequate, so please read the main text! Jiang Luoxue, a special agent from the 23rd century, was stunningly beautiful with impeccable marksmanship and outstanding medical and poison skills. While returning from a mission, she encountered a plane crash and transmigrated into the neglected legitimate daughter of a Minister's household in the Yunqi Dynasty. Upon arrival, she was drugged with a potent aphrodisiac and pursued by bandits. After a desperate fight to eliminate them, she fell off a cliff, believing she was going to die. Fortunately, she had a fortuitous encounter at the bottom of the cliff. Heh! Since she didn't die, it was time for others to face misfortune. She cursed her heartless father, beat her hypocritically kind and venomous stepmother, spanked the stepsister who stole her fiancé, emptied the family’s storerooms, and then ruined their reputations, ensuring they got a lifetime tour of prison. Ye Xuanchen, the Great General of the Yunqi Dynasty, was exceedingly handsome and skilled in martial arts. While fighting the enemy, he was ambushed and poisoned with the Fiery Charm Toxin. Every mid-month, his meridians would become turbulent, causing him intense pain. As someone who avoided women, he had to soak in the Ice Pool to alleviate his suffering. On this day, at the height of his internal struggle, facing a woman who fell from the sky, he mistook her for a spy sent by the enemy nation. The moment Jiang Luoxue saw the naked man in the water:

The universe hated me so much, it tossed me around, then dumped me straight into the arms of my father’s killer. — I thought I understood monsters. I grew up with them. I survived them. I swore I would kill the one who murdered my father and brothers. But when I finally found him, I failed. Dante Corsetti. Alpha. Mafia boss. The man who destroyed my family and dragged me into his house like a living trophy. He broke me apart until I didn’t know where my rage ended and his cruelty began. He said I was nothing. A prisoner. A reminder of everything he’d lost. A punishment for sins I never committed. Yet the longer I stayed, the more the world I thought I knew cracked open. The secrets about my bloodline, lies my father died with and a supernatural truth I should never have discovered. And in the middle of it all, a mate bond tied me to the monster I hated most. The goddess must be laughing because Dante is not the only one drawn to me. There were two others. Knox, who looked at me like I was the first good thing the goddess ever gave him. Reed, who claimed I was destined for him no matter who he had to fight. Three alphas. One impossible bond. And me, trapped between revenge, desire, and a fate dark enough to break every one of us. WARNING: 18+ Contains dark, and triggering themes some readers might find disturbing.

They killed her. She came back. Now it's her turn. Jiang Yue had everything—beauty, wealth, a loving husband, and a best friend she trusted with her life. Then her husband chained a concrete block to her ankles and pushed her off a bridge. Her best friend of fifteen years waved goodbye as she sank. She died in the cold water of Heshan River, her lungs burning, her heart full of hatred— And woke up five years in the past. Now 22 again, Jiang Yue has returned to the day before she first met her future murderer. She knows every lie he'll tell, every trap he'll set, every smile that hides his rotten soul. But rebirth came with a price. She can see the dead now. Ghosts walk among the living, invisible to everyone but her. Shadows whisper secrets. The supernatural world has opened its doors—and something hungry followed her back from the other side. The Boundary Keeper demands payment: 100 guilty souls, or innocents die in her place. Recruited by the mysterious Special Investigations Bureau, Jiang Yue becomes a hunter of human monsters—killers, traffickers, and predators who escaped justice. Each soul she delivers pays down her debt. Each kill brings her closer to freedom. And all the while, she plays the perfect game with her future murderers. Smiling at the man who will drown her. Laughing with the friend who will betray her. Gathering evidence. Building her case. Waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Lin Haoran thinks he's found his next victim. Xu Meilin thinks her schemes are invisible. They don't know that she remembers everything. They don't know she's already killed. They don't know about the ghost who wants them dead as much as she does. The woman they murdered is standing right in front of them—and she's smiling. QUESTION HOOK VERSION: What would you do if you woke up five years before your own murder? Would you run? Would you hide? Would you change your fate? Jiang Yue chose none of those options. She chose revenge. Reborn with the ability to see the dead and bound by a debt of blood, she walks between worlds—hunting guilty souls by night, playing the perfect victim by day. Her husband is a murderer. Her best friend is a snake. And the entity that brought her back is always hungry. But Jiang Yue isn't afraid anymore. She's already died once. What else is there to fear?

"I died fighting for humanity. Then I woke up seven days before the apocalypse." Ethan Cross spent ten years in hell. When the Nexus System descended and turned Earth into a death game, he lost everything—his friends, his family, and the woman he loved. He survived when billions died.

Haunted by PTSD, struggling to trust again, Ethan must walk the razor's edge between cold pragmatism and burning hope. He can't save everyone alone. But opening his heart means risking the pain of loss all over again. "The apocalypse is coming." "The Void Reaver is ready." "And this time, he's playing to win."

Eilika Wolanski is the eldest daughter of one of Varos’ most respected merchants, but respect has never brought her kindness. A childhood accident left a scar across her cheek, and with it, a cruel label she can never escape. The “Unwanted Woman” of Varos. Mocked in public, pitied in private, and treated like a blemish to be hidden, Eilika grows up learning one painful truth, beauty matters more than character in high society. So when an unexpected marriage proposal arrives from the powerful House of Kingsley, no one believes it is real. The groom is Damian Van Kingsley, the widowed duke of Varos, feared for his cold temperament and admired for his unmatched looks and wealth. Rumors follow him like shadows. He has a secret mistress, a broken heart drowned in alcohol, and worst of all… A son he barely acknowledges. For Eilika, marrying Damian isn’t a dream. It’s the only option left for survival. Damian, once the kingdom’s most desirable nobleman, has been nothing but a hollow man since the death of his first wife. He has abandoned his responsibilities, pushed away his child, and lived with one vow burning in his chest. He will never replace his first wife. To force him back into duty, his mother arranges a second marriage, one he never asked for, and one he refuses to accept. Damian swears he will never touch her , will never look at her and will never treat her as his wife. But Eilika isn’t the greedy noblewoman he expected. She doesn’t ask for his affection. She doesn’t crave his title. She doesn’t even want his love. What Eilika wants… is something far more dangerous. A family. And perhaps that is the very thing Damian has been starving for all along. ~~~~ “This bed will remain cold until your last breath.” Damian’s voice boomed through the dark chamber. Eilika didn’t flinch at his words. Instead she replied gracefully, “I don’t seek love, Duke. You can visit your secret mistress every night… Just don’t come near me.” This marriage was never meant to become real, until the Duke's heart begins to betray its own rules.

Fifty years ago, rifts appeared in the world. These rifts spewed spirit beasts, ancient artifacts, and fragments of lost civilizations. The human race brought forth Talent Sigils and built guilds and families for survival. These families include one of the oldest awakened bloodlines, known as "The Long Clan," said to trace its lineage from the dragons of antiquity. However, rivalries also exist within great clans. His name is Long Hao, the son of a dwindling lineage family who is ridiculed for being the embarrassment of the clan. It is not impossible for people to believe that he has only mediocre talent because the clan already labels him as the failure who does not deserve the name dragon. But on the night before the awakening ceremony, there is a prohibited awakening within him. > [Eclipse System… Activating [Forbidden Talent Detected. Origin: Dragon-Eclipse Bloodline It seems that *Heaven’s Law* itself has made Long Hao wields forbidden talent, a skill feared not only by humans but also by the heavens. The day that follows, the Awakening Stone has no talent, and the world laughs at him. But Long Hao just smiled. When the first dungeon appears out of nowhere in his high school, chaos breaks out. "The trash of the Long Clan" emerges and displays power that shocks the city. He will overcome his destiny. Above the guilds. Above ancient clans. Beyond God's own command. A dragon ought to fly across the nine heavens, and he, named Long Hao, shall smash those who come to get in his way. A dragon should soar across the nine heavens— and Long Hao will shatter anyone who dares stand in his path.

Divine influence poured into the world like rain and the world was forever changed. Aren Cross stood at the very top of that new world, one of the strongest Hunters to ever live.

Valoria was the omega who couldn't shift — the pack freak no one wanted. Her fated mate chose her sister on the altar. Her father's solution? Hand her over as a spare bride to Lycan King Azrael — the most feared, most ruthless lycan alive. A beast who doesn't love, doesn't feel, and doesn't show mercy. He didn't want her either. But he kept her — not as a wife, not as a mate. As a toy. Something pretty to break when he's bored. "You're mine until I decide you're not, little mouse. And I haven't decided yet." He tortures her, taunts her, watches her break and smiles like it's art. But somewhere between the cruelty and the madness, his hands learned her body before his heart learned her name. He doesn't want to love her — he wants to own her, tame her, ruin her so completely that no one else will ever want what's left. And the damning part? She's starting to crave it. But there is a little secret that Azrael doesn't know. This is not Valoria's first rodeo in life. He doesn't know the Moon Goddess ripped her from death with one mission; to seduce him, tame him, and end his reign. One hundred days. That's all she has before he kills her or she kills him. The only thing the goddess didn't warn her about was the thin chance of falling for the monster she's supposed to destroy WARNINGS: This is a DARK romance. Azrael is not your soft misunderstood hero. He is brutal, possessive, morally corrupt, addictive, and utterly unhinged. Expect 18+ smutty content, dubcon, PLOT TWISTS, and a monster who might either steal or crush your heart. Proceed at your own risk (of addiction, lmao).

In this fan fiction, a normal guy from earth is reincarnated in the body of Li Feiyu. At first, this new Li Feiyu was aggrieved that he had transmigrated in the world of mortal cultivation without spirit roots, but soon he rejoices as he obtained a system that lets him cultivate. It's an interesting story that shows us the perspective of a different character, in this case, that character is Li Feiyu. It answers the question, what if? What if Li Feiyu could cultivate? What if he had spiritual root? Hence it takes the readers on an exciting journey through this fantastical world in which Li Feiyu, unlike Han Li who has no idea what is doing and only depends on Luck, Dominates the Mortal realm, spirit realm and even perhaps the Immortal world. What staying Low-key? None of that here. In this world rather than becoming Han Li's cover name, Li Feiyu actually turns the tables. " The Dao gives birth to one. One gives birth to two. Two gives birth to three. Three gives birth to all things. All things blend together before Heaven and Earth. The source of all creation, as Dao is eternal. "- Li Feiyu.
