Rebirth: Loved Too Late

"In her first life, he was a King who died for her. In this life, he’s a nobody—and she’s the one holding the crown." Li Meilin died in a crown-shattering explosion, holding the hand of the only man who stayed in the darkness with her: Xie Zihan. Betrayed by her father, drugged by her step-mother, and sold to the underworld by her sister, she spent a year in hell before fire consumed her. Now, she is back. Reborn on the day of her eighteenth birthday, Meilin doesn't just wake up; she wakes up with a vengeance. With the help of her loyal Mother Wu, she turns her engagement ceremony into a graveyard for her family’s reputation. But her mission isn't just revenge. She has a debt to pay. Tracking down the "Ghost" of the underworld, she finds Xie Zihan. But he isn't the cold Mafia King of her memories. He is a genius student living in a basement, working three jobs to pay for his mother’s surgery, and hiding his world-class coding talents from a father who wants to drag him into the abyss. The roles have flipped. Meilin founds Lin Capital and Shenghua Biotech, becoming the "Bigshot" the city fears. She "hires" Zihan, pulling him into her orbit to protect him from the Mafia hunt he doesn't know is coming. She provides the medicine. She provides the technology. She provides the shield. While the world mocks her for "keeping" a poor student, they don't see the silent war she’s fighting. Behind closed doors, she is raising the heir to two empires. To the public, he is her employee. To her, he is the man she will burn the world for. The step-sister sneers: "You’re a CEO, Meilin. Why waste your time on a delivery boy?" Meilin’s eyes turn ice-cold as she adjusts Zihan’s collar: "Because this 'delivery boy' is the only person who deserves to sit on the throne next to me." She survived the fire once. This time, she is the flame.

TRANSMIGRATED FROM A TOP CELEBRITY INTO THE BODY OF AN UNLOVED HEIRESS

Bethany Larson was revered as a living legend. At fifty, she stood at the peak of the entertainment world—a globally known singer and actress who built her success with her own hands. Her name was a brand, her talent undeniable, and her fortune self-made. Yet the person she loved unconditionally and trusted the most became her executioner. Murdered by her much younger actor husband, who mockingly admitted he married her only for her wealth, connections and fame, Bethany’s life ended in betrayal and regret. As she lay on her own pool of blood, dying and watching him walk away with his men, she cried and desperately prayed to any God that was willing to answer her for one thing she had never asked for before: a second chance. And her prayer was answered. Bethany woke up in a hospital, not as herself, but as "Rosita Dixon", a twenty-three-year-old D-list singer and actress—the eldest daughter of the Dixons, one of the most powerful aristocratic families in the Republic of Hosiria. At first, she believed she had been given a new and easy life then she realized she was wrong after being told by her manager that the original Rosita Dixon is despised by society, mocked by the media, and treated cruelly by her own family. Now carrying Bethany Larson’s soul, memories, and experience, Rosita must survive a family that loathes her, an elite society that looks down on her, and an entertainment industry that has already judged her. This time, she is determined to live for herself—and never die powerless again.

The CEO's PA Little Secrete

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."

I Don't Want This Kind of System!!

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.

Divorce? Fine! The Frail Wife is Actually a Yakuza Boss

ALL CHAPTERS HAS BEEN RERWRITTEN(1-15-2026) "Hanae, let’s be honest. You’re too plain. You’re boring. Emi is fragile and needs me, but you? You’re sturdy enough to survive on your own." On their wedding day, Kenji didn’t just break Hanae’s heart—he humiliated her in front of all of Neo-Tokyo, leaving her at the altar for her manipulative, "sickly" stepsister. Everyone expected the gentle, soft-spoken Hanae to cry. They expected her to beg. Instead, she sighed. "You’re right, Kenji. I am sturdy." RIIIP. With a single motion, Hanae tore the silk wedding dress from her body, revealing not the soft skin of a housewife, but rock-hard muscles, scars from a thousand battles, and the terrifying dragon tattoo of the "Asura"—the legendary, retired heir of the Kurosawa Yakuza Clan. For six years, Hanae starved herself, wore baggy clothes, and pretended to be weak just to fit Kenji’s ideal of a "delicate wife." Now, the act is over. The Dragon has woken up. Step 1: Beat up the ex-husband’s bodyguards in high heels. Step 2: Sign a contract marriage with Ryuuji, the dangerous "Demon King" of the rival syndicate. Step 3: Remind the entire underworld why they used to fear her name. When Kenji realizes that his "useless" wife was actually the mastermind behind his success—and the only woman capable of protecting him—he comes crawling back on his knees, weeping for forgiveness. Hanae looks down at him, cracking her knuckles with a smile that promises violence. "Forgive you? Sorry, my husband gets jealous when I play with trash."

Martial Arts to Immortality

Lu Lin had transmigrated to a cultivation world, yet the sad thing was that he had no spiritual root, unable to cultivate, and could only practice martial arts. But a martial arts practitioner was as lowly as an ant here, serving as no more than a cultivator’s tool and cannon fodder. Their Qi and Blood(vitality), tempered body, and combat skills seemed to cultivators’ spiritual energy, spells, and magical weapons a flimsy sheet of paper. Fortunately, he had awakened with the Martial Dao Furnace, which could transform spiritual energy into time spent training. Should a year’s time fail, then two years. Should two years fail, then a decade. Should a decade fail, then a century, or a millennium? Blazing Sun Technique---→Nine-Sun Divine Technique Grass Skimming---→ Sky Treading Footwork Steel Elephant Body---→Primordial Dragon-Elephant Art A crude martial arts technique to the scorn of immortals? Toss it into the Furnace, subject it to a millennium’s deduction. After tens of thousands of tweaks, it eventually became what rocked the cultivation world. Without a spiritual root? Then mold my blood, flesh, tendons, and bones into an undying golden body. Without magical weapons? Then smash magical weapons into pieces with my fists. Without spells? My self-created martial arts has developed a Behemoth Self-Projection, whose punch shatters mountains and rivers and whose stomp breaks space. In desperate, oppressed enslavement, as a mortal, Lu Lin forcibly hacked a path of martial arts longevity through an immortals-dominated world. With the wood fire ever burning, the Dao of martial arts would be everlasting; establish my Dao with martial arts, force a breakthrough into immorality!

Bitter Sweet Love with My Stepbrother CEO

Yvette Matthews had a great early childhood. She had loving parents that has given her a great life. Her father was a 5-star master chef while her mother was a well known patissier in the culinary world. Her life was great but all of that changed when her parents got into a car accident and died. Yvette was orphaned at a tender age of six years old. In her parent’s wake, a middle aged man with his ten year old son came. He told Yvette that he was her parents’ friend from college and was willing to adopt Yvette. Her having no next of kin and rather than her going into foster care, the adults in the foster agency agreed after checking the man’s background. It was known that the middle aged man was the CEO of a large 5-star hotel and restaurant group that not only operated in the country but around the world. Yvette lived a life as a princess being doted by her stepfather and stepbrother. Even though she lived a life full of luxury, she stayed humble and studied hard to be a good chef and patissier like her parents. She loved her new family, and she harbored romantic feelings with her stepbrother, Joseph Hamilton. Something she kept a secret since she knew her feelings cannot be reciprocated. But all of that changed when her stepfather died of old age. When the lawyer of his stepfather read his last will leaving seventy percent of his fortune to Yvette including the rights to the Hamilton hotels. This shocked many especially her stepbrother, Joseph, since he was only left with thirty percent. But there was a clause in the will, that Jospeh could be the CEO if he marries Yvette and they produce an heir. Her life started to turn gray since Joseph was forced to leave his current girlfriend whom Yvette knew he loved so much and marry her to get the CEO title. Joseph’s kindness and pampering turned into hate and disgust. He became cold and aloof, coming home late and going to work early in the morning. Yvette’s only solace was the son she bore with Joseph on their wedding night. She poured all of her love to her little son. But fate was cruel to her once again when she found out that Joseph was seeing his ex-girlfriend once again. Hearing from someone that they were meeting in a hotel room, she mustered the courage to confront them. Yvette saw the ex-girlfriend in the hotel room wearing sexy lingerie. They got in the heated argument. “Seph does bot love you.” The ex-girlfriend said. “He just married you to get the position that should be rightfully his!” She shouted. “Do you not think I know that?!” Shouted Yvette. “But he is still married to me!” The two were pulling each other’s hair in the hotel balcony which is located at the 43rd floor. They both went over the railed in the heat of the moment and they were holding for dear life. “Dianne!” Joseph voice was heard inside the hotel room. “S-Seph!” The ex-girlfriend shouted. “Help me!” “Dianne!” Joseph was alarmed to see her hanging on the balcony. “Yvette? Why are you here?!” He sounded surprised. “H-Help me.” Yvette cried. “Hold on! I am going to get you out.” Joseph said but he pulled his ex-girlfriend first and took off his coat to put on to her. Yvette’s heart was crushed. She knew in that time that who Joseph really loved was Dianne and not her. This erased all of her hope on being loved and had let go. She felt her body falling for a long time. Yvette’s body felt light and she thought that she had now thrown all of her guilt and the burden in the loveless relationship. She wished that in her next life, she would not have this kind of love once again. But then she opened her eyes once again, to the day when the lawyer would read her stepfather’s last will. “I will changed my fate.” Yvette thought. “In this life, I will not be drowned in a loveless marriage with my stepbrother.”

Sweet Love 2x: Miss Ruthless CEO for our Superstar Uncle

Arianne Summers is a legend in the boardroom—and a nightmare to her enemies. She dismantled her cheating father’s career, outmaneuvered every greedy relative, and rose to become the sole heiress of the Summers empire. Her one mistake? Falling in love. Being publicly discarded by her fiancé for another woman wasn’t just a personal humiliation—it triggered a calculated corporate takeover that stripped Arianne of everything she built and left her infamous overnight. Five years later, determined to live quietly and far from the battlefield she once ruled, her carefully rebuilt solitude is shattered by an unexpected knock at the door. On her doorstep stand two sharp-eyed, scheming four-year-old twins holding a handmade sign that reads: “Marry Our Uncle!” Their proposal is… unconventional. “Marry our Uncle Franz!” the girl declares. “We’ll help you destroy your evil ex!” the boy adds, proudly waving a crayon-drawn “business plan.” Their uncle, Franz Rochefort, is a world-famous actor forced into the role of CEO after his brother’s sudden death. Overwhelmed, underestimated, and struggling to keep both his company and the grieving children afloat, Franz is mastering every role except the one he never wanted—corporate leader. The twins, however, have reached a conclusion of their own. Only the infamous Ruthless Queen of the Business World is fierce enough to protect their uncle, stabilize their lives—and maybe even stay. For Arianne, the proposition is tempting. His name and influence could shield her return. Her experience could save his crumbling company. A clean, logical, temporary arrangement. How hard could it be to play the role of a wife and an aunt? Answer: hilariously, heartbreakingly, catastrophically hard. Between boardroom power plays and kindergarten meltdowns, Arianne finds her carefully armored heart softening under sticky fingers and bedtime questions. Franz turns out to be far less incompetent than he appears—and far more dangerous to her resolve. And the twins? They’re running an operation of their own: Operation Make Uncle and New Aunt Fall in Love. But when pretend arrangements begin to feel real and old enemies start closing in, Arianne must decide what matters more—revenge against the past, or protecting the fragile, unexpected family she never planned to have. A ruthless CEO. A reluctant superstar. Two scheming children. And a love story that was never part of the plan. #ceoromance #reversedroles #slowpaced special thanks to @schreient_rui
