Hunted for the Alchemical Book in her hand - Mu Ruyue wakes up in the body of a wastrel in Shenwu Continent - a martial arts dominated world. Her fiancé has jilted her in favor of her foster sister. Her father condones her abuse. Her younger sister wishes she was never born. And the whole country ridicules and insults her for being a first-rate wastrel. Wastrel? Not at all. With the Alchemical Book in her hand, what pills and elixirs can't she refine? Jilted? She'd rather marry the pure and innocent Ghost King, Ye Wuchen. ---- Mu Ruyue: Stop calling me Sister! Ye Wuchen: Can I call you Wife then? Mu Ruyue: Not that either! Ye Wuchen: (about to cry) Mu Ruyue: (sighs) Suit yourself. Ye Wuchen then leans forward and kisses the corners of her lips. Mu Ruyue: …Did a child just steal her first kiss? ---- Brother 1: Let her go! Brother 2: She is my mother, why should I let go of her! Brother 1: Don't ever think of robbing my mother! Mu Ruyue: Let me introduce you, Jing'er, this is your younger brother. Huang'er, this is your elder brother. Huang'er: Mother, this stupid boy bullied me. He's not my brother. Jing'er: Little guy, from now on, you must listen to me. Ye Wuchen: (How exactly do these two regard him? They dare fight over his wife in front of him...)

'Kill monsters, eat meat' 'I mean, Kill monsters, save lives. Got it.' 'Tut, I could've sworn that the first one sounded better.' She wasn't a girl looking for freedom or self-righteous liberation by a hero, or whatever shit a girl who suffered for almost all her life would crave. -the shit of a life she was living was horrible, but it was bearable, and so she got used to it. Rather, instead of freedom, what this little missy wanted was money. Lots and lots of them so she never has to worry about the next day. Money - bountiful enough that when she has to spend, she doesn't need to look back or calculate her assets to see how much she has left. Money - bountiful enough to get all the fried chicken she could ever dream of. Yeah, you heard it, fried chicken. For those who did not have money to spare leisurely, getting fried chicken was like a pipe dream to them and she had been one of those unfortunate souls. A comfortable roof above her head and no worries as to when she would get ordered around to steal. No worries about when she would get her next meal-- That was her liberation. And she got it. Just that, she got it most absurdly. Awakened! Those were the people ruling the world, alongside beastly and deadly monsters who threatened the safety of average human beings. And those awakened call the shots. Alice never dreamed she would one day be awakened, and compared to others with their game-like system displaying their attributes and strength; she had a full-grown man whom only she could hear, watching her back at every turn and telling her what to do. He was kinda a pain in the ass but she couldn't complain. It was this gift he had bestowed on her that made her the most powerful Awakened there was with stats that even S-class awakeneds couldn't compare to. She was the boss, now. Mwa-hahahahaha. But life didn't go as easy and leisurely as she planned. With great power comes great responsibility, right? Well, in her case with great power comes great hunger. She couldn't go a moment without getting hungry and her stomach had become a bottomless pit. And to get food, she needed money, and to get money, she had to hunt monsters. The monsters plagued humanity, causing catastrophes and taking lives mercilessly. Those monsters, as scary as they may be, were her target and she had to face them head-on. The bigger the monsters the more money she would gain. Yeah, that was the plan, but... This guy acting as her system seemed to have other plans, putting her at the forefront of 'justice' and having her clean the mess he somewhat created. 'Ugh, I can already sense a shadow of foreboding. Someone, please tell me I'm not acting the main character role. I just want to eat, okay?'

Reina Suzuki was an overworked office worker—until she died and woke up as Lavinia Devereux, the infamous villainess princess of the Elarion Empire. She knows how this story ends: she’ll drink poison and die. A painless, easy death. So why bother changing fate? Villainy, revenge, redemption—sounds like way too much work. She decides to do absolutely nothing and let the story play out. But her terrifying father, Emperor Cassius Devereux, won’t ignore her like he’s supposed to. He watches her, questions her, and—worst of all—starts acting like he actually cares. Lavinia just wanted a quiet villainess retirement… So why does everything keep changing?

Prologue: The Boy Who Refused to Stop Thinking In a world where power meant everything, Cian Archdemon had nothing. No family. No friends. No protection. Only his mind — sharp, cold, relentless — was his weapon. The polished marble floors of Blackthorn International Academy glistened beneath the morning light, but no one noticed the beauty. Not when the stench of privilege, cruelty, and blood stained the halls. They hated him. A boy with no parents — dead in a car crash. A boy with no lineage — an outsider among the elite. A boy with sharp features, ghost-like skin, and eyes too cold, too calculating for a child. A boy… too curious. They cornered him. They bit him. They broke him. And as their fists crashed into his frail body… as blood pooled beneath him… Cian didn’t cry. Didn’t scream. Didn’t feel. He only thought. “Pain receptors… neural override… interesting… I wonder how long the body can survive on thought alone…” Even as his body collapsed onto the floor — his vision darkening, his chest refusing to rise — Cian's mind refused to die. And when the world around him finally faded… something else pulled him in. --- Elsewhere… across realms… In a grand palace filled with ancient magic and roaring beasts, a desperate kingdom cried out to the heavens. Their prince — their future — his soul shattered. His body empty. They summoned salvation. But fate… delivered something far more dangerous. --- Cian's fragmented soul… still whispering scientific theories… answered the call. His blood-stained consciousness was torn from death… Fused into a foreign body… Bound by ancient magic… And resurrected… Not as the boy they expected… but as the anomaly they could never control. Beast blood pumping through unfamiliar veins. A Curiosity System mutating within his soul. A mind… still overthinking. Still dissecting. Still unkillable. And as his eyes slowly opened in this new world… The only thing Cian felt was quiet, maddening excitement. “New environment detected… Variables unknown… Hypothesis: This world… will be my greatest experiment.” --- The boy who died thinking… was not gone. He had only just begun. --- Cian Archdemon: Beast of Curiosity The experiment begins now…
