Standing atop the battlefield of Asuras, the demoness was none other than his former wife. —— Introduction Two: Above the temple halls, beneath the rivers and lakes, where the world of humans and demons divide, along the righteous and evil paths, countless charismatic individuals weave lives full of fireworks, unable to exhaust the tales of snow, moon, wind, and flowers.

And the book of Jiang Shouzhong's life is undoubtedly the most captivating of all. ——

Hunting the Traitor

In her pursuit of saving enough money to return home, Hannah found herself playing the role of the "first-love" character in a beloved novel. Originally, this character was a typical stand-in supporting actress, taking on various substitutes for the female lead as dictated by the male protagonists, such as donating kidneys or sparing road for the female lead, which she all agreed. Eventually, the original character succumbed to the pressure, turning dark and meeting a tragic demise with a disfigured face on the streets after being killed by the male protagonists. Hannah's task was to follow this grim plotline and achieve the tragic story's intended outcome. However, in the eyes of George River, she was merely a substitute he had enlisted—an entity dependent on him. When his true love returned, he callously abandoned the woman who deeply loved him. Later, he regretted his decision, only to discover that the once-begging woman was now surrounded by various exceptional men. The individuals who had previously used her as a shield—the movie king, the ambitious young actor who climbed over her for his ideal goddess, and the president who regretted his actions upon regaining his memory—all found themselves humbly pleading for her affection: "Hannah, the one I love is you." Confused by the sudden turn of events, Hannah observed her bank account steadily growing and stumbled upon a newfound skill for crafting tragic stories. As the main antagonist who successfully survived until the end of the story, Arnold Simmons was ruthless, dark, and violent. In his eyes, Hannah appeared to be the most naive woman he had ever encountered, her thoughts consumed solely by love. Witnessing her continuous deception by those around her, Arnold eventually reached a breaking point and seized her, declaring, "Stay by my side; let me handle your tasks." [A seemingly fragile flower with an inner strength, Daughter of the Sea, crosses paths with an obsessed, dark, and sinister antagonist who contemplates disrupting the pond of bred fish every day.]

All she wanted was to save her brother. And all he wanted was a child. He bought her, bound to a contract to give him a child and disappear from his life afterwards, but what hit her like a storm was love... falling for the masked monster who bought her body. Andrew Sterling hated greedy women, and every woman he'd contracted to bear his child, heir to the Sterling Enterprises, had been just that. When Anne, his third contracted surrogate, showed up, he saw her as the very same type of woman until she peeled open his stone-cold heart. What ties them next isn't just a baby contract, but an unexpected marriage formulated by Andrew's grandfather. But a man who has always despised marriage will never be tied down, not even by his contracted surrogate, because the minute she gave him the child he needed, he would send her out of his life. But when the tables turn on him... He says to her, "With a husband as rich as me, right now you're the wealthiest woman alive." "We're only married till I give birth," she retorted. He frowns at that, feeling internally displeased. "It doesn't matter how long we're married for. From now on, everything I own is yours. If you want heaven and earth, I'll buy it for you. My wife will never be found lacking a single fucking thing." She stared at him in disbelief. When did he start feeling something for her? He couldn't remember.

Spes is an ordinary apprentice who happened to be lucky enough to partake in a strange ritual — a secret ceremony that had previously summoned powerful otherworldly heroes to aid the Kingdom in its fight against demons. Unfortunately for Spes, the ritual failed. The magic circle powering it exploded, tainting the poor young man with strange, otherworldly powers. With no time for reincarnations, Spes is placed in a party tasked with recovering artefacts of past reincarnated heroes, hoping to initiate a new ritual before demons break through the Kingdom’s borders.

> I created the most brutal fantasy game ever made. Betrayal, blood, and a villainess fated to die by Chapter Five. Guess what? I woke up as her. Elysia Vora. Former duchess. Infamous traitor. And now… me. She was never meant to survive the prologue. Just a disposable villainess designed to make the real story shine. But something went wrong. The game isn’t cursed. The game is broken. A glitched memory protocol inside the engine gave the characters something they were never meant to have: memory. Now, they remember every loop. Every betrayal. Every death I coded. Worse? They know who I am. And they want revenge. The prince I killed a hundred times? He’s back—with magic he was never programmed to wield. The inquisitor? He talks now. And he’s looking at me like I’m his favorite execution. Even side characters have evolved, unlocking powers beyond anything I built into the system. Fire that doesn’t burn. Shadows that speak. Blood spells from the void. My only chance? Use my developer knowledge to survive long enough to rewrite the game from the inside. But every decision rewrites the world. And someone—or something—is rewriting the rules faster than I can. This isn’t a second chance. This is war. And this time… the game remembers me.

Betrayed. Starved. Left to die alone in a world that chewed up the weak and spat them out. Gu Qingran trusted the wrong people, loved the wrong man, and paid the ultimate price. But fate? Fate gave her a second chance. Reborn 30 days before the apocalypse, she refuses to be the naive fool she once was. This time, there are no attachments, no kindness—only power. With the Omni-Alchemist System, she can create weapons deadlier than an arsenal, fortresses stronger than steel, and medicines that could cure or kill with a single drop. While the world slept, she stockpiled. While they wasted time..she built an empire. When the world burned, she rose from the ashes—untouchable, unstoppable and unchallenged. Let the apocalypse come. Let them beg for mercy. Because in this life, Gu Qingran is no one’s prey. She is the storm. Character Art done by Punzygracy>Daily updates 3 chapters, 4 chapters during weekends ( ˶°ㅁ°) !!

I’ve been reincarnated into a tragic novel—into the body of a villainess who’s hated no matter what she does. But that despair didn’t last long. "We’ll immediately alter the dress to suit the Lady’s taste!" "Of course, there’s no such thing as homework." "You’re the one and only jewel of the empire, just as you wished." Even just frowning and staying silent makes everyone around me obediently follow my words. Why should I live like a pushover again? Honestly, living as a villainess like this is way more comfortable. If I’m going to be a villainess anyway, I might as well be a filthy rich one. So I used all the knowledge I had—and as a result: "May I have the honor of escorting the Lady tonight?" Not only did my father fall in line— but even a hidden mastermind villain, who wasn’t in the original storyline, suddenly rolled right into my life?!

"When she read, Lisa had always hated villains. In her defense, she never expected to become one." Lisa was an avid reader, and among all the books she loved, she had a new obsession: Beauty and Power, a book in which the main villain shared her name. The book began with two characters, Lisa and Eleanor, who, during a vacation trip, ended up getting lost in a cave and found themselves in the world of beasts. They were best friends and did everything together, so it was no surprise when both transmigrated to the same world. In the world of beasts, they were the most beautiful and caught the attention of the most powerful males. Over time, however, Lisa's envy and ambition grew stronger and stronger. The friends soon became rivals and then enemies. Lisa, the villain, led the fox clan against the tiger clan in the book’s final battle, where she was ultimately defeated by the protagonist, Eleanor. As a consequence of her sins, she was blamed for the war and sold into slavery. To ensure she could never manipulate anyone again, her tongue was cut out. That was the price she paid for her greed. "Now that was a great ending!" Lisa exclaimed, delighted by the story. However, she was far less thrilled when she woke up in the villain’s body. Sold as a slave and unable to speak, Lisa could only rely on her intelligence to survive in that body. But after all, what could she do with the body of a notorious criminal?

QUICK PEAK: "Don't move," Antic said, voice low. Pecola froze mid-step. "Why?" "Because," he whispered, eyes locked on her, "if you take one more step in that dress, I might combust." She tilted her head, blank as always. "Combust?" He nodded, nose already bleeding. "Tragically. Violently. With a little sparkle." A beat. Her lip twitched. "You're disgusting." "I'm aware," he said, wiping his face with the back of his hand, "but I'm also charming. And very, very emotionally unstable. So please, keep talking." A ghost screamed in the distance. Neither of them looked.

Lady Evelyne Everhart died of a broken heart. Or at least, she thought she did. But the universe had other plans.

They all want her back. Men who once broke her heart now kneel for her love. Beg for her attention. Fight for her forgiveness. Too bad. She’s not here to relive the past.

Like some prize?” He laughed darkly, maniacally and threateningly. “No. I’m going to make you want me. Make you need me. Until you can’t remember why you ever tried to leave.” Her hands trembled, but she didn’t pull away. “And if I fight?” His eyes blazed. “Then I’ll break you. Piece by piece. Because you belong to me.” She swallowed the fire threatening to spill out. “I’m not yours.” “Not yet.” His lips brushed her ear. “But soon enough, you will be.” ****** Rose: "I ran from death. And he gave me a new name–his." Damien: "She was never mine to take. So I claimed her by force."
