When I Transmigrated, I Became Genarel’s Omen Bride

In a 1970s village where love is a literal death sentence, an "Omen Bride" must fake a life with a cold-blooded soldier—praying his lack of heart will keep them both alive. Lin Yue wakes up nauseous, her lungs burning with the dry, dusty air of a stranger’s 1970s body. By sunset, the man who just confessed his love to her is dead. It wasn’t heartbreak. It wasn’t a coincidence. It was an "accident" everyone saw coming—except for the victim. In this village, affection is a poison. Any man who falls for Lin Yue dies within thirty days. The deeper the feeling, the faster the blood stops pumping. The villagers call her the Omen Bride. Mothers lock their sons away when she passes, and the gossip in the dirt alleys has a sharper edge than any butcher’s knife. Lin Yue doesn't have time to cry over graves. She only has time to survive. Her only shield? Gu Chen. A cold, disciplined soldier with a soul made of iron and zero interest in romance. He doesn't linger. He doesn't stare. He doesn't look at her with that soft, doomed glow in his eyes. To Lin Yue, his emotional distance isn't a flaw—it’s her armor. She clings to him, not out of desire, but out of desperation. She starts a fake marriage rumor, weaponizing his coldness to keep the "accidents" at bay. Until the shield starts to crack. Gu Chen begins doing things that look dangerously like care. Standing too close in the rain. Blocking the village's venom with his own body. Saying her name like it actually matters. And then, the accidents start circling him. Lin Yue knows the pattern. She’s seen the countdown before. To save him, she has to be the villain. She must lie harder, act crueler, and push him into the frost. But Gu Chen isn’t stupid. He sees the pattern. He knows the lethal rule. And he stays anyway. Because this time, love isn’t a misunderstanding. It’s a tactical decision. A countdown they both can hear. And if loving her means dying? Gu Chen is a soldier—he’s already chosen his hill to die on.

Gu reborn

Synopsis for "Gu Reborn In a world where immortality is carved from the corpses of the weak and the cunning, gu insects—mystical creatures born of heaven and earth—grant power to those ruthless enough to tame them. Once, he was the Demon Sovereign, master of countless forbidden gu paths, wielder of the legendary Spring Autumn Cicada that allowed him to turn back the wheel of time itself. He stood at the threshold of eternal life, only to be betrayed by every ally, ambushed by every sect, and torn apart in a cataclysmic war that scattered his soul across the ages. Now, five hundred years later, a fragment of that indomitable will awakens inside the broken body of Lin Xuan—a nameless orphan, low-grade aptitude, destined to die forgotten in the Whispering Bamboo Forest. He opens his eyes once more. This time, there will be no misplaced trust. No unnecessary mercy. No grand declarations of destiny. Only cold calculation, endless schemes, and the unyielding pursuit of absolute power. With each refined gu, each broken enemy, each stolen opportunity, he rebuilds what was lost—stronger, darker, more terrifying than before. The righteous path fears him. The demonic path envies him. The heavens themselves will learn to dread the return of the one who refuses to die. In this cruel cultivation world where talent means nothing and survival means everything… He was born again not to redeem the world, but to devour it. Gu Reborn. The path to immortality begins with betrayal—and ends with supremacy.

Picking Up Attributes In Martial World

A top assassin dies after killing his own boss, and instead of staying dead like he should, he wakes up in a cultivation world that feels like it came straight out of every cliché he’s ever heard about. Broken meridians, bullied by clan members who look down on him, a father who gave up on him for a younger brother with better talent, and an engagement annulled with a beauty… or maybe not that trope. Nothing special. Just unlucky. When he finally decides to leave the clan and find his own path, he discovers something strange about himself. People drop attributes while doing things, and for some reason, only he can see and interact with them. A cultivator repeatedly tempering his body leaves behind things like— [Strength +6] [Stamina Recovery +8] [Body Tempering Progress +5%] An alchemist wasting herbs and ruining pills over and over drops— [Alchemy Talent (Low)] [Herb Identification +15] [Pill Stability +7] A swordsman practicing the same technique until his hands go numb drops— [Sword Muscle Memory +9] [Blade Intent Fragment] [Combat Awareness +4] And when someone dies, the drops become even more ridiculous— [Strength +321] [Death ×3] [Physique Fragment: Jade Bone] [Incomplete Cultivation Insight] All of it can be picked up by him. He doesn’t need cultivation talent, bloodlines, or a master’s guidance, because while others spend years training, comprehending, and risking their lives for small improvements, he collects everything they leave behind, whether it’s stats, techniques, talents, physiques, or even professions. In a martial world where effort, talent, and luck decide how far you can go, his path is simple. Let others work. He’ll take the results.

Frieren: I Can't Use Magic, So I'll Change the World With Technology

After being laid off and reduced to an aimless shut-in, Yuhran, an ordinary modern man, discovers an impossible object at his front door—a gate connecting his apartment to another world. At first, everything seems perfect. The other side is an undeveloped fantasy land with gold mines, primitive civilizations, and absurdly low trade standards. Glass marbles become gemstones, and modern chemistry turns raw ore into real wealth. Yuhran begins quietly accumulating fortune across two worlds, planning to live the rest of his life as a rich layabout. Then reality hits. This isn’t a peaceful fantasy sandbox—it’s a world of monsters, demons, magic, and ancient races. One wrong step nearly gets him killed by a Demon-Horned Tiger King, and he survives only thanks to an elven mage named Miliarde. Lacking magic aptitude entirely, Yuhran is forced onto a different path: using modern technology (crossbows, armor, drones, seasoning packets, flashlights), exploiting cross-world logistics, and preparing to manipulate disasters by redirecting monsters into another country if necessary. As he learns the truth about the world he’s entered—its history, gods, and future—Yuhran realizes something terrifying: He has arrived far earlier than the main storyline. The heroes aren’t born yet. The legends haven’t begun. And immortality may be the only way for him to survive long enough to matter. With a leveling two-world gate, a plan to obtain divine magic, and the audacity to treat apocalyptic threats as logistical problems, Yuhran sets out on a bizarre journey of technology vs. magic, modern pragmatism vs. ancient fantasy, and a slow burn toward godhood. This is not a hero’s tale. It’s the story of a man who refuses to die poor—or quietly.
