The story of a girl who was not good at relying on others or being spoiled ✖️ a Dhampir prince who wants to pamper her... more>>

Eva, a fairy-like beauty with eyes and hair of different colors from those around her, grew up freely as the daughter of the Marquise Staal in the borderlands of the Tifris Kingdom. However, her life took a drastic turn after her parents died in a carriage accident on a stormy night when she was ten years old.

In the closed-off Tifris Kingdom, where everything was exclusive, Eva, with a mother from another country, was an "unusual" presence. In her uncle's family, who inherited the title of Marquise, she had been mistreated and oppressed due to her uniqueness.

Her deceased mother, who had the "green hand," was skilled at growing plants, and Eva also wished to become someone with the "green hand." Working in the garden of the Stahl Marchioness's estate with a gardener was her only joy, especially enjoying the rose garden her mother had created.

One day, at the age of 17, she accidentally encounters a young man from the great nation of the Dacian Empire.

The Dacian Empire is the opposite of the Tifris Kingdom. The Tifris Kingdom, ruled by humans, is a closed-minded country that does not accept anyone other than pure-blood humans. On the other hand, the Dacian Empire is a diverse country with citizens of various races, including beastmen, dragonkin, elves, and dwarves. The emperor is traditionally chosen from the vampire lineage.

The young man Eva meets carries a burdened heart due to his origins. Through their coincidental yet fateful encounter, they are drawn to each other while grappling with unfamiliar emotions.

According to popular legend, the war god of Da Liang Huo Wujiu was once captured by the enemy country. His meridians were severed and both his legs broken before he was thrown into prison. In order to humiliate him, that dissolute ruler even gifted him to his cutsleeve brother as a concubine.... more>>

General Huo suffered a great deal of humiliation and insult. He bided his time for three years before the cicada shed his skin and he escaped back to Da Jing. After treating his crippled legs, he led his army in three months to storm the enemy’s capital, slaughter its emperor, raze its capital, and finally beheaded that garbage cutsleeve, hanging his head on the city walls for three whole years.

Since then, the world has been united.

——

Jiang Suizhou, a history department graduate advisor at a certain university, received a dissertation which used these unofficial histories of Huo Wujiu as their basis, and criticized the student to no end.

When he opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated into that cutsleeve prince from the stories.

There were lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere. A servant came, sending word that the disabled general of the enemy state had already entered the prince's manor in his wedding sedan.

Facing down General Huo, who had been tortured to the verge of death, dressed in red wedding clothes, glaring balefully, Jiang Suizhou only then knew - these wild stories could also come true.

And cause him to be beheaded for public display, his head hung on the city walls for three years.

Jiang Suizhou’s only option was to provide for General Huo well.

The overt and covert attacks of the imperial court, the witless ruler's every possible humiliations -- he grit his teeth and absorbed it all, all in the hopes that in three years time, he could but keep this head of his.

Of course, he didn’t dare to even dream of asking this 9 ci* tall “concubine” to actually serve him.

However, before the three years was up, General Huo’s legs actually healed on their own.

Not only did he slaughter the useless ruler and unified the country, but he also forcefully blocked him in the room and insisted on fulfilling his duty as "concubine."

For an ordinary working woman to transmigrate into the body of an official wife of a nobleman, described by the emperor as ‘peerless talent', life should be good, right?... more>>

Too bad the official wife was an eyesore to this handsome 'peerless talent' husband. Hated as a political chess piece that prevented the dear husband from taking his true sweetheart as the official wife, she was universally despised by the entire family and was tossed into a corner of the inner court to fend for herself.

If that’s not enough, this scum man also tossed a pair of unloved children born of some lowbred woman he had accidentally xxx with into her miserably poor courtyard.

Thus, she was set on a course of self-destruction…

Or so everyone thought.

Instead of self-destruction, this is the time to hone one’s self-sustaining skills!

We are far away from the inner court battles and our face is an eyesore to everyone. So, let’s just spend our leisurely days shut away from the world! Our transmigrator is very satisfied with the lifestyle of an abandoned wife.

For some reason, I find myself trapped in a game. The problem is, it’s a horror game without a hint of romance. Along with the protagonist and his friends, who are trapped in a castle sealed by vampires, “I” am destined to be crushed and killed.... more>>

Escaping from this castle is impossible by ordinary means.

Leaving together peacefully is also impossible.

So, I made up my mind.

†††††

▶ Marianne and Lars have fled somewhere. Everyone is frightened. What should I do?

1. Escape alone.

2. Chase after Marianne and Lars.

3. Stay put.

†††††

I decide to sneak away alone.

But even then, the protagonist comes after me.

“I was worried. It’s dangerous to wander alone, so let’s go together.”

The hand that holds me captive is firm and cold.

Wherever the protagonist goes, vampires always chase after us.

Because this bastard, who pretended to be so good-hearted, was actually the true villain.

The true master of this castle, who lured people in to feed the sealed vampires.

“I’m right here beside you. Don’t worry.”

…Someone, please save me! <<less

In a time of uncertain transmigration within a novel read anytime, anywhere, parallel reading is perilous.... more>>

"Sect Leader, a newborn was left in front of our gate!"

As a reward for reading both childcare romance novels and martial arts novels brimming with blood, calling for justice and alliances, one may transmigrate into a unique hybrid of martial arts and childcare.

Moreover, it's not the clichéd daughter of a prestigious family, but an abandoned baby left in front of the treacherous Mount Hua Sect!

"Yes, youngest one! Leaving a legend that wields a sword before taking the first step is what we're aiming for!"
"Maehwa! If you're part of the Mount Hua Sect, you must surely bloom Plum Blossoms!"

Don't create legends of wielding a sword for a baby who can't even walk.

"We must defeat the Wudang Sect, we must! How long do we have to live hearing that the world's greatest swordsmanship is associated with the Wudangs!"

Do adults burdening children with excessive responsibilities make any sense?

Even worse, the troublemaker Nangong Family who used to coax me to come to his house when I was young doesn't recognize me now...

"Is this all the Mount Hua's Sword has to offer? I had some expectations for the Mount Hua Sect, but it's nothing special."

Just don't speak, okay?

In the future, could you please send only one proper childcare romance novel at a time?

***

Nangong Family's Heon suddenly grabbed my shoulders.

"Hey, you... don't spar with someone else."
"Do you think that's possible when my head is spinning from the shock of defeat? Come on."

Nodding absentmindedly in agreement, Nangong Heon changed the topic.

"Then don't smile like that after sparring with someone else is over."

Slowly blinking, he looked down at me with pitch-black pupils.

"Only smile like that when I win." <<less

I ended up possessing the body of Hailey, a villainess who was destined to die soon.... more>>

What’s relatively fortunate, if you can call it that, is that she has one more year to live. However, there’s no time to relax as she’s unceremoniously dumped into a contaminated region below a canyon.

“I’m a possessor!

But wasn’t she supposed to die?

“Do you understand? If you cling to the past, you’ll twist your future into something you can’t recognize. That’s the wisdom left behind by the ancient sages.”

A year later, I’m still alive and farming.

Hailey, who I thought was just an ordinary (?) witch, was actually a genius.

She could control magic and she could purify zombies.

With talents too precious to waste, I decided to work a little harder:

“How much would it cost to buy everything you have?”

“Ah, uhmm, please let me live.”

During this time, I gained the nickname “Devil Marquess”. and started to attract beggars who regarded me like a child they could use:

“I’m not leaving!”

“Why not? Why on earth not?”

“We want to live by your grace, milady!”

#Learn more about the Little Devil Lord’s villain development system#

The miserable Ding Yi carried the heavy burden of raising the little villain.

During the day, she earned money to support the family. At night, she gave spiritual counselling, trying hard to fill the little villain’s heart with love.

The fine young man had just grown up. Ding Yi revealed an old mother’s kind of smile, leaving quietly and hiding her merits and reputation.

She never expected that fate still laid a dirty trick on her.

Ding Yi: “……??!”

Don’t give the role of the female lead to me! I! Am!! Afraid!!!

The gloomy young man hugged the trembling girl. He had a wan smile and the tone of his whisper was horrifyingly tender: “Why are you running? Forming an agreement with the devil, you should know that you can’t run away no matter however many lifetimes.”

Ding Yi cried out.

The villain– he, he, he’s still a human-eating devil! <<less

Lu Shijin transmigrated into a strange world and was bound to a ‘Devoted Side Male Lead’ system. The system required him to wholeheartedly play the role of a side male lead, to selflessly dedicate himself to the main character and to advance the plot development. He would only be able to return to the real world when the audience’s enjoyment exceeds 100%.... more>>

Lu Shijin, who had accumulated enough pent-up frustration in real life, sneered.

What real world? Isn’t it better to be a flirtatious bit*h who only lives for himself?

– Was coveted as a furnace by the elder of the emotionless path in a cruel xianxia story.

– Became a bride to give luck to a vegetative person in a modern business story.

– Relied on papapa to save the world in a suspenseful adventure story.

……

Lu Shijin threw away his holy saint halo and went straight to being OOC. He hadn’t expected that the audience would like his persona breaking that much.

The audience watched as the plot broke free like a wild horse and became all over the place, their smiles gradually becoming twisted: This plot is great! I love it! Our Jinjin is still young, so you have to discipline him properly! <<less

On her wedding day, she was humiliated; her status as the legitimate wife was instantly changed into that of a concubine.... more>>

“Who*e! Marrying you is my life’s shame!” These were the hurtful words that came from her childhood sweetheart, now husband.

….

Jiejie, jiejie, thank you for your sacrifice. Jiejie, if you’re kind then go. Meimei will replace you and take good care of your husband, to help you enjoy the blessings that you are unable to enjoy!” these words spat out by her smiling cousin made her whole body feel cold.

….

“You are shameless! There is no need to say anything! From now on, our Shen family will not have you as our daughter! Someone! Throw out this shameless woman!” These were her relatives?

…

Becoming the target of criticisms, and being submerged in a small lake, she realized that all of this was the result of another person’s scheme – but it was already too late!

…

Instead of dying, she went back to the past, back to where both feelings were still alive and were loving towards each other; back to when she was not yet an orphan but the doted on Di daughter of the Shen family.

No matter what, in this life, she would never allow anyone to hurt the people she loved. And those people who harmed her in the previous life, she would make them pay the price! <<less

Chlone, if only she could break that woman's delicate neck...

"It means the destined lovers in the prophecy are the Duke and Lady Chlone."

Even the fate that barely tied them together wasn't on her side.

"I wish I were the woman you loved."

"Are you still talking about that?"

Kazel cut her off, finding it tiresome.

The man's face, stripped even of obligatory kindness, turned as cold as a grim reaper.

"Okay. I guess I should stop dreaming in vain now.”

"What...?"

"I lost, Kazel."

Aveline forced a smile.

"I'll send you to her."

The stage, where God had been mocking the foolishness of humans, was completely drawn to a close.

It was when I was 10 years old in my second life. I found the young duke that the female protagonist should have saved.... more>>

In these villains and extras’ novels, it is the standard to help, whether it is the female lead, male lead, or villain.

I know the original, too; since it’s like this, should I try to seduce the duke to avoid the death flag?

But in the original story, the female lead said something to him:

‘I like the Duke as he is.’

Hearing this, this guy came to her in the middle of the night while covered in blood.

‘You said you like me the way I am. I love you too, you will never… You won’t leave me, right?’

Just die.

“Where else are you going to disappear and hide?”

Pretty Widow x Pure-Hearted Man... more>>

In the early eighties, a new pair of orphaned and widowed came to a certain downtown in a small seaside town.

The widow was beautiful, but it was not easy to raise a child. She was eager to find support, so her neighbor Sister Liu enthusiastically introduced her to a partner. After finally matching with a twice married man, she unexpectedly fell into the water. When she woke up, Qiao Lu from modern times replaced her body.

The older leftover girl, Qiao Lu, time travels to a young widow with the same name. Not only does she have a small milk doll next to her, but she has not escaped the fate of having a blind date.

A blind date is okay, but she is very demanding. He must have a good temper, be diligent, and have a flexible mind. He must not be chauvinistic, must not curse, must not dislike her second marriage status, and must love her children. To sum up, this person does not exist! 　　

Sister Liu said, I have never seen such a picky second-married girl! 　　“These days, the iron rice bowl is king! Old Li from the steel factory is so good, he is an 8th grade worker!”　　

Qiao Lu: “No, he is already forty, an old cow eats young grass.”

Qiao Lu: “No, he has four children, my Xiaobao family is afraid.” 　　

“… Then Xiao Luo from the radio factory! Thirty years old, one child, honest and hard-working!” 　　

Qiao Lu: “No, he… looks too ugly.” 　　

“…” 　　

Sister Liu finally couldn’t stand it anymore, threw a photo on the table, and said angrily: “Qiao Lu, this is the last one I’d like to introduce to you! He has never been married, he doesn’t have children, his financial situation is tight, and he has nothing but a handsome face and a dilapidated house! You’re on your own!”　　

She picked up the photo and looked. Oh, he’s so handsome, like a picture star. Qiao Lu was eager to try.

“What does he do?” 　　

“A street vendor!” 　　

What? Isn’t this the first generation of entrepreneurs? ! 　　

Roll up your sleeves and get to work!

“Okay! I want to go on a blind date with him!” 　　

However, after getting along with him, I realized that the dilapidated house = small courtyard in the city center = a major demolition house in the future!

Just the face? But he clearly has an excellent business acumen! You won’t lose money on this bet!

Xu Haizhou left his hometown and came to the south to start a business. With no money and no background, and a life without touching the ground, he never had the luxury of having a wife and children.

　Unexpectedly, one day his neighbor Sister Liu introduced him to a woman. Although she was a widow, he fell in love at first sight. As long as her character was passable, he didn’t mind whether she was married for the first time or for the second time.

And you have a baby? Just in time, pick up a ready-made son. So the two hit it off immediately, and against all odds, they got married! 　　

After marriage, with the concerted efforts of the couple, small street stalls gradually opened into large shopping malls, becoming the first batch of the self-reliant rich generation in the 1980s! <<less

He got a beautiful toy to play with during the boring summer.... more>>

That summer was the hottest since the young Emperor Iskandar ascended the throne.

The servants of the summer palace were frightened to serve him as he had his first summer vacation as an emperor.

An arrogant monarch, a ruthless oppressor, a cruel and beautiful disaster.

This is because the words of the new emperor are as brilliant as and as sharp as iron.

A new toy came into his eyes.

It was around the time when he got tired of hunting in the summer forest and even luxurious entertainment.

Senita.

It's like a sordid maid with charcoal black on her apron.

She was a bold woman who dared not avoid the emperor's gaze.

She talks about old memories with distant eyes and was also a dreamer who gave great meaning to trivial things.

So it was good. She looked interesting.

He thought it would be okay to play with that poor woman throughout this hot and boring summer.

Because he wanted to, Iskandar did so.

Everything was so easy. Because he was a man of great ability to screw up. <<less
