"Chu Zhaoyang, what are you doing unbuttoning?" Gu Nian stepped back. Chu Zhaoyang unbuttoned the last button of his shirt, "Sleep." "But it's daytime now, hey... weren't you going to sleep? Let me go first..." To outsiders, everyone thought that Master Chu was cold and face-paralyzed as if he didn't have any expression, but they didn't know that he was kidnapped when he was young and had nightmares every night. It wasn't until he met Gu Nian, that he suddenly felt that sleeping was quite enjoyable... He knew that there was someone living in her heart, and even if that person would never come back, all he had to do was to drive that person away and change the tenant in her heart. However, the person who should have been dead came back..... He said pitifully, "Gu Nian, I seem to be homeless." But Gu Nian pointed at his heart: "When you moved in, I signed a lifetime residence agreement with you." He laughed. ....................................................

[Torture Tang San] + [Funny] + [Relax] + [All Collected] Ye Yin woke up and saw he transmigrated to Douluo. Just when he thought he has to suck up to that bastard, his system arrived. From that day the sarcastic god of Douluo rose. “Tang San, such dedication to your father! Oh, I almost forgot - I have some leftover food here that I was saving for the dogs, but you seem like you could use a meal.” “Xiao Wu, spicy rabbits are really tasty, want to try?” “Yu Xiaogang, you said there are no useless martial spirits, only useless spirit masters. What’s your situation?” Ye Yin traveled through the Douluo Continent to obtain the resentment value system. As long as he makes people feel resentful, he can become stronger. I thought Ye Yin was sinister enough, but I didn’t know that his spirit skills were even more sinister.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Lin Yue died exhausted in a modern kitchen, chasing a dream that would never come. She wakes up in ancient China—in the body of a "useless" farm wife despised by her husband's family. Weak. Slow. A disappointment. But Lin Yue isn't the same girl anymore. She's a trained chef with years of experience. And she knows exactly what she's capable of. When her cold husband tastes her cooking for the first time, everything changes. When she saves the magistrate's son in front of the entire market, the village takes notice. They thought she was worthless. They were wrong.

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.

The hardest thing about being a saint in a corrupt world… is knowing you must become a heretic to save it. Raziel’s faith wasn’t a weapon. It was a shield. As a devout priest, his power was in guiding lost souls, healing the broken, and serving as a beacon for the Church. He was the Goddess's most devout servant. Because of that, he was the first to fall when the "Player" arrived. For years he fought her game with prayers, a battle of faith against rules he couldn't understand. He fell alone just as his world burned around him. But death was not the end. His final breath sent him back in time. Now fifteen again, he has years to prepare before "Game Over" begins anew. He must find allies, unmask traitors, and forge a power the Church deems blasphemy. And this time, he is not just a priest. Armed with the Paragon System, he has the tools to reclaim what was lost. Because this time, he no longer bears the curse that bound him in his previous life: his blind faith. He was once only a devout priest, shackled by dogma. Now freed of his chains and armed with the power of fallen legends… what kind of monster must he become to save them all?

Let’s be frank: my stepmother is human trash. She has always been, and she’ll always be. That’s just how life is. But I’ve got to admit that she’s outdoing herself today. ‘Cause, darn, she’s just told me, first thing in the goddamn morning, that I’m to be wed in a few hours’ time for the prosperity of the clan. That has the merit to be crystal clear, at least. Alright, sure. Fine. I can live with an arranged marriage. It’s not the worst thing she’s done. What’s not fine, though, is my spouse’s gender, age, and species. I want to make three points clear: 1. I’m not into men. 2. I’m not into older people. 3. I’m not into other species. Guess what? It appears my future partner is everything listed above. Male, old enough to be my ancestor, and a demon! ...Is it too late to run away? Asking for a friend. ______________________________ Doesn’t-give-a-fuck-anymore human x pampering older demon [BL] ______________________________ Free of copyright picture used for the bookcover by Leonhard_Niederwimmer

With the Alpha groom ready to unleash war on her pack, and spurred on by her stepmother's pleas, Fia makes a desperate choice; she takes Hazel's place at the altar. But the marriage is nothing more than a cruel setup. Betrayed by her family and accused of stealing her sister's happiness, Fia becomes the perfect target for Alpha Cian's wrath. Humiliated and furious, he vows to keep her as his mate not out of love, but revenge. He swears he will break her, torment her, and make her pay until the end of time.

Between lies, betrayal, and a growing bond neither wants to acknowledge, Fia and Cian are bound to discover that the thin line between hate and love is meant to be crossed.

''You didn't divorce a baker, Julian. You divorced the only person who holds the structural integrity of your empire in her hands." For three years, Nora Quinn was the "Perfect Ghost." She gave up her dreams of being an architect to serve the cold, ruthless Julian Sterling, believing their marriage was built on more than just a contract. But when Julian tosses a divorce settlement across the desk to make room for his childhood sweetheart, Nora realizes her love was a one-sided delusion. The Sterlings think she’s leaving with nothing but her dignity. They don't know that Nora is the long-lost heiress to Quinn International—a global empire that makes the Sterlings look like street vendors. Now, the apron is off. The genius architect has returned. As Nora begins a cold-blooded takeover of Julian's business world, he starts to realize that the submissive wife he discarded was actually the genius behind his greatest successes. He wants her back. He begs for her forgiveness. But Nora Quinn doesn't build bridges anymore. She burns them. Witness the rise of the Outcast Heiress. The revenge is sweet, but the regret? That will be eternal.

In a werewolf pack that despised weakness, Aphrodite learned to survive by staying quiet, keeping her head down, and enduring cruelty in silence. The Alpha heirs hated her. The future Beta and Gamma made her life unbearable. When she finally breaks and seeks freedom at the Moon Goddess temple, she does not find release. She finds truth. Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate. The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all. As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path. Love does not come in one form. Neither does power. In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected. Not a queen. But the axis upon which the world turns.

After studying for five hours, Darwin went to sleep—and woke up in a cultivation world as the Azure Clan’s greatest failure. Born with damaged meridians and a broken spirit root, he’s spent sixteen years as “trash,” beaten by his siblings and mocked by servants. But everything changes when the Upgrading System activates, giving him the power to transform anything with upgrade points. Damaged meridians? Upgraded to Elite. Broken spirit root? Now an Earth-Linked Storm Root. Trash cultivation manual? Now a Grade 5 legendary technique. While others cultivate for months to advance a single stage, Darwin breaks through overnight.

But in a world where strength determines everything, rising too fast draws deadly attention. His genius sister watches him with suspicious eyes. His twin brother burns with hatred. And in ten days, the Crimson Vale Trial will force him into a death ground alongside Foundation Establishment monsters. Darwin has the system. He has the talent. Now he just needs to survive long enough to use them. The cultivation world is about to learn what happens when trash becomes treasure.

Viola was once the pride of her pack, destined to rise above everyone on the day she received her wolf. Instead, that day marked her fall. 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. Sebastian Kade is powerful, ruthless, and chained to a past he refuses to release. Viola Linden does not belong in his world, and he wants her gone. Fate, however, disagrees. This fragile, stubborn girl refuses to leave his orbit. He does not believe in love. He does not want her. He has already lost too much. An Alpha who swore off weakness, hardened by loss and haunted by a prophecy that feels more like a curse, Sebastian is certain he will never allow another woman into his life. But the Moon Goddess is rarely kind. Viola carries something ancient within her, something dangerous, something powerful enough to defy him. Hate twists into desire. Desire ignites into fierce passion. And passion threatens to become love. But when Sebastian discovers what Viola truly carries within her, will it save him… or destroy everything he’s built? ~~~ WARNING: MATURE CONTENT! #Slow burn #Spicy #Dark romance #Adventure #Angst

A miserable life, filled with misfortune. No family, no money, and never having had a girlfriend in my life. My only passion? RPG games. My favorite class? Blacksmith. “Hmmm, that’s surprising. I managed to forge a legendary-rank sword on my very first attempt,” I murmured while trying out a newly released game based on DanMachi. An extremely fun game, and very faithful to the original work. Of course, you could be a blacksmith and join the Hephaestus Familia. But then it happened. A strange message came from the game administrators. A light. “Hephaestus?” My eyes widened.

(A/N: Their relationship dynamic progresses and doesn't stay exactly like it is at the start (The one-sided love doesn't last long). Pacing is also relatively fast at the start, but slows down in the future in romance arcs.) In his old life, he was an assassin, invisible, efficient, and utterly alone. His only escape came from the pages of a fantasy novel, Crown of Thorns, and the character no one else seemed to understand: Lady Evelina D’Arclight, the proud and brilliant villainess fated to lose everything. After his death, he wakes up inside that very story, not as a hero, but as Cael Arden, a student at Eryndor Royal Academy. The world is just as he remembers it, right down to the woman destined to fall. But this time, he’s not a bystander. With a lifetime of deadly skills and the knowledge of what’s to come, Cael sets out to rewrite the story itself, to protect Evelina, rise through the academy’s ruthless hierarchy, and change a fate written in stone. As alliances form and secrets surface, the line between fiction and reality starts to blur. And in a world built on power and prophecy, he’ll prove that even a villainess deserves her happy ending.

[18+ | Mature Content | Dark Romance] After slaving away for years as Ares King's sole overworked secretary, Catherine has finally had enough of his domineering and heartless attitude. She wants to quit and use the severance pay to settle her family's debts, and spend more time with her long-term boyfriend. But soon after she hands her resignation letter, she finds out that her boyfriend cheated on her. He claims she's a wreck with no future, and he's better off without her. Heartbroken and devastated, Catherine is grasping at the last straw when her boss, Ares King, proposes a contract out of the blue. "Become my wife for one year." "Why me, Mr. King?" "Because we work, Ms. Lane.” The last thing she wanted was to make a deal with the devil. But this offer is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Sell your soul to the devil for one year. How hard can that be? ********** Excerpt: "How many?" I froze. Did he expect me to count? "How. Many?" "I-I don't—Ah!" Ares spanked me again, continuously. My eyes stung, and sweet pain overtook me. I should feel sick from deriving pleasure from this, but strangely, I wasn't. "Two?" I teased, purposely getting the numbers wrong. "You shouldn't have done that." Just as I thought, he started again, but this time he drove each hit with more force until my ass was burning. "Fifteen!" I yelled, shaking. "Wrong." My heart momentarily stopped. "I got it right!" "You missed one." He pressed his hand on my searing bottom, and I moaned. I tried to squirm away, but he trapped my hands behind my back, his voice dark with warning. "Move again, and you'll regret it." ~ A/N: This is a work of fiction. All names, characters, places, and incidents are either the product of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously.

Shen Ningning died of exhaustion after being dared to run a marathon. She transmigrated into a savage, unfamiliar world where humans struggle to survive among beasts. Before she could despair, she discovered she was bound to the Peak Body Survival System. The system believes survival is nothing more than physical training. Hunting, fleeing, gathering food, and even fear are all treated as endurance tasks, with failure punished mercilessly. Trapped in a dangerous world and forced to follow the system’s rules, Shen Ningning can only struggle to survive one day at a time. Her situation worsens when a powerful snake beastman claims her as his mate and refuses to leave her side. As danger closes in from both the wildlands and the system itself, Shen Ningning must find a way to live in a world that demands strength—whether she is ready or not.

Lee Min lived an extraordinarily unimpressive life… and died in an even more unimpressive way. Crushed by a vending machine while trying to get a snack, he became a cosmic meme so embarrassing that even God couldn’t leave him like that. Out of pure pity (and maybe secondhand embarrassment), God reincarnates him into a fantasy world with: SSS-Rank stats A dual-layer System Ridiculously OP abilities A brand-new life And absolutely ZERO control over his infant body Now reborn as a baby with the power to level mountains but the motor skills of a wet noodle, Lee Min unintentionally terrorizes his father, delights his mother, and sends the local priest into weekly therapy. His random emotional outbursts cause shockwaves, mini earthquakes, wind blasts, and occasional teleportation. Meanwhile, the System treats every baby milestone as a quest: “Hold head up!” “Crawl!” “Speak!” “Socialize!” “Don’t panic!” (he always fails this one) Every achievement earns him tiny stat boosts… which still stack onto his already absurd SSS base power. Unfortunately, one thing followed him into this new life: A traumatizing fear of tall, box-shaped objects. Every once in a while, something remotely resembling a vending machine tips over — in moments of comedy, tension, or dramatic battles — and Lee reacts like he’s reliving his death… even though nothing can hurt him anymore. As he grows from baby to child to teen, his powers stabilize, his skills evolve, and the world begins to notice the “miracle child.” Villagers believe he’s a chosen one. Mages think he’s a reincarnated archmage. Father thinks he’s a walking apocalypse. Mother thinks he’s adorable. But Lee? He’s just trying not to accidentally flatten a building every time he sneezes. Eventually, he’ll enter the wider world — academies, dungeons, kingdoms — all while dealing with: Misinterpreted reflexes Accidental feats of strength Over-the-top monster annihilations Gods who regret giving him too much power Political factions terrified of a boy who doesn’t know his own strength And through it all? He’s still haunted by the memory of that vending machine.
