The fat man widened his eyes. Jiang Cheng turned his head and said in a very serious tone, "Because I'm an orphan." --- You can support me and read ahead at my Pa treon at Pa treon.com/CinderTL

[Factory-Courtyard Life • Face-Slapping Matches • Hidden-Advantage Revenge • Rising Star at Work] Tian Xiang’s fiancé is stolen by her cousin—no big deal, plenty of fish in the sea. Then glowing words appear above the cousin’s head: “Reborn Heroine.” Tian Xiang blinks—she’s inside a 1970s harem-novel world where every character wears a flickering label: Big Villain • Tragic Second Male • White Lotus • Evil Mother-in-Law • Villain #1, #2, #3… and above her own head? “Silly-Sweet Cannon-Fodder.” Well, not anymore. Using her real-life job as a factory-union clerk, Tian Xiang rewrite her life script. She warns the other “harem extras,” sabotages the original male lead, and—oops—earns herself the new tag: “Ultimate Villainess.” The novel insists villains end in ruin. Tian Xiang’s reply: “If I’m going down, we’re all going down.” Meng Cheng’an—once a literal background prop, now upgrading in real time: Background NPC → Major Villain → Obsessed Lover → Yandere Husband → Shamelessly Devoted Spouse. The more chaos Tian Xiang stirs, the faster his labels evolve—until the final tag reads: “Her Partner-in-Crime—For Life.”

Dari seorang dokter militer yang terhormat, kini ia menjadi orang yang rakus dan pemalas. Lebih dari itu, ia sering menakuti orang-orang di desa bersama ayah dan saudaranya. Itulah sebabnya tidak ada orang dari sekitar yang bersedia menikahinya. Meskipun keluarganya berhasil mengatur pernikahan dengan keluarga terkemuka, pengantin pria kabur pada hari pernikahan. Ketika ayahnya mengatakan akan menangkap suami untuknya, ia sama sekali tidak mengharapkan bahwa ayahnya akan benar-benar melakukannya dengan menangkap Wei Ting dengan karung setelah ia kelelahan berkelahi dengan bandit. Su Cheng tersenyum penuh misteri pada putrinya. "Ayah punya kabar baik dan kabar buruk. Mana yang ingin kamu dengar dulu?" "Yang mana saja." "Ayah menangkap seorang suami untukmu. Ia seratus kali lebih tampan daripada He Tongsheng! Kamu pasti akan menyukainya!" "Lalu, apa kabar baiknya?" tanya dia dalam kebingungan. Su Cheng memutuskan untuk mengikuti arus dan mengubah katanya. "Kabar baiknya adalah kamu tidak perlu melahirkan lagi! Menantu lelaki saya sudah memberikan kita anak-anak!" Setelah menikah, Su Xiaoxiao menjalani kehidupan yang sibuk dengan merubah ayahnya yang preman dan adik lelakinya menjadi lebih baik, menyelamatkan nyawa suami tampannya, dan membesarkan ketiga buah hatinya yang nakal… Plus, ia secara tak terduga menjadi salah satu wanita paling kuat di Dinasti Yan!

Recordando el accidente de hace cinco años, su rostro se oscureció. "¿Cómo te atreves a robar mi ADN?" Ella rió. "No robar, solo pedir prestado!" El hombre la tomó en sus brazos y advirtió en un tono peligroso, "Mujer, ¿debería recuperar lo que es mío, con interés?" Ella se puso de puntillas. "Sí, ¿qué tal otro bebé?"

Por eso nadie en millas a la redonda estaba dispuesto a casarse con ella. Aunque su familia consiguió organizar un matrimonio con una familia ilustre, el novio huyó el día de la boda. Cuando su padre dijo que le iba a conseguir un marido, no esperaba que fuera literalmente, capturando a Wei Ting con un saco después de que él estuviera exhausto de luchar contra los bandidos. Su Cheng le sonrió misteriosamente a su hija. —Papá tiene buenas noticias y malas noticias. ¿Cuáles quieres oír primero? —Cualquiera. —He capturado un marido para ti. ¡Es cien veces más guapo que He Tongsheng! ¡Definitivamente te gustará! —Entonces, ¿cuál es la buena noticia? —preguntó ella en un aturdimiento.

Foi por isso que ninguém em quilômetros à volta estava disposto a casar-se com ela. Embora sua família tenha conseguido arranjar um casamento com uma família ilustre, o noivo fugiu no dia do casamento. Quando seu pai disse que lhe arranjaria um marido, ela não esperava que ele fizesse isso literalmente, capturando Wei Ting com um saco depois que ele estava exausto de lutar contra bandidos. Su Cheng sorriu misteriosamente para sua filha. "Dad tem boas e más notícias. Qual você quer ouvir primeiro?" "Qualquer uma." "Eu capturei um marido para você. Ele é cem vezes mais bonito do que He Tongsheng! Com certeza você vai gostar dele!" "Então, qual é a boa notícia?", ela perguntou atordoada. Su Cheng decidiu seguir a correnteza e mudou suas palavras. "A boa notícia é que você não precisa ter filhos! Meu genro já nos deu crianças!" Depois de se casar, Su Xiaoxiao levou uma vida ocupada mudando seu pai gângster e irmão mais novo para melhor, salvando a vida de seu lindo marido e criando seus três pestinhas... Além disso, ela inesperadamente se tornou uma das mulheres mais poderosas da Dinastia Yan! ```

He had been in love with Satomi since high school, and after years of struggling together, they finally built a stable life. But stability came with a price. Satomi was always busy. Work became her priority, and Haruki… was left behind. The warmth of their relationship faded, and intimacy became a distant memory. Nights felt colder, the bed emptier—even when she was right beside him. Loneliness gnawed at him. Then everything changed when Satomi’s family invited him to stay at their luxurious home. That was the first time he truly saw her mother. Kyouko. Beautiful. Elegant. Younger-looking than her own daughter. And for the first time in years, Haruki felt something awaken inside him—something dangerous, something forbidden. Living under the same roof, two lonely souls cross paths. And as Haruki struggles with his emotions, one question lingers in his mind: What happens when the one who understands you most… is the one you should never desire?

I’m going to speedrun the dungeon and write a guide for the others to farm it!” “The world boss has appeared, everyone, let’s grind it together!” Watching the players grind until their eyes turn red, Cheng Shaofeng shrugs: “You can see for yourself, it’s not that I want to rule the apocalypse—it’s just that they can’t stop grinding!”

The ninth uncle of Cheng family was truly a hidden dragon, his real power frightening everyone. *** Cheng Yujin, this coquettish little wife, lightly lifted her eyebrows and casually said, “A mere Marquis Jingyong, is he worthy?

Can she break the curse and help save a doomed empire, or will her thirst for vengeance lead to destruction? ——— Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. My body stiffened as a palace guard called for me from the other side, but I ignored it. Mei, on the other hand, began pushing me away in a panic. "Cheng, let go," she said, struggling in my arms. "Can't you hear him? What if he comes in and sees us like this?" "I don't care," I replied, my lips brushing her ear. "Tell me you forgive me, that's all I need. I won't let go until you do." I knew I was taking a risk, a huge one, if we were seen like this, there would be consequences. But losing Mei would be the bigger risk, the one I couldn't take. I couldn't let her slip away. "I just need to hear you forgive me, mei. That's all I need right now." The guard knocked again, calling my name, and Mei struggled harder. "Cheng, please," she said, her voice cracking under the strain. But I didn't budge. Finally she muttered, "Fine. I forgive you." "I forgive you, you crazy jerk." "You really mean that?" I asked, my voice barely audible. She nodded, exasperated, and only then did I release her. Just as I did, the door swung open, and I barely had time to step back before the palace guard entered, the guard rushed in, his face pale with worry. It was a close call. too close, but I didn't care. Mei flinched at the intrusion, but quickly composed herself, stepping away from me to a more respectable distance. The guard, wide-eyed and clearly flustered, fell to his knees in a bow. "My deepest apologies, Your Highness. I called for you several times but received no reply. I entered out of concern, fearing the worst." I glanced at Mei, but she wouldn't meet my eyes. She simply gave the guard one last look and walked out, leaving the room without a word. I let out a long, exhausted sigh, running a hand through my hair, still reeling from everything that had just happened. Turning back to the guard, I motioned for him to stand. "Get up" "And next time, don't enter my room without permission." ———— Author’s Note (Rong King) This story is a work of fiction, entirely created from my imagination.
