Villain After Being Eavesdropped

# RELAXED Liu Qing is reborn and goes back two years in time. He starts his reborn life at the point of getting a breakup text message from his girlfriend. Previously, in that life, he dated his girlfriend for a few years, and used all the money he earned from being a security guard to support her and pay for her lifestyle and living expenses when she quit her own security guard job to go back to school. However, in the end, she looked down on him after she found an office job, then cheated on him and eventually left him for another man. To add insult to injury, in his desire to have a simple life with his girlfriend, he rejected the chance to reunite with his wealthy estranged mother and missed out on the opportunity to become a rich second generation. He was overwhelmed by immense grief after all that and fell into a deep depression that eventually destroyed him. In this life, Liu Qing is determined not to become a simp again, especially since he is being given another chance to change the path of his life. He says to her, “Let's come clean. Isn't it good to break up? I don't have to be your spare tire anymore. You can also live with your one true love. We would each get what we want.” Then he resigns from his security guard job to reunite with his mother. When everyone asks him why, he says, "Because I am going to inherit assets worth billions of dollars!"

In her past life, Lu Zhaozhao placed her trust in the wrong people, inadvertently causing the death of the man who deeply loved her. Reborn on the first day she met him, Lu Zhaozhao decisively dragged Song Si Nian to register their marriage. As she busied herself with dealing retribution and slapping faces, she had only one principle regarding her husband, who suffered from emotional expression disorder: to love him. What Lu Zhaozhao did not know was that she was Song Si Nian's only light. His illness made him paranoid and obsessive, yet he dared not reveal his true self to her. But the truth cannot remain hidden forever. When everything about him was laid bare before her, Song Si Nian held her tightly, tears reddening his eyes, and with a timid voice asked while buried in her neck, "Zhaozhao, do you not want me anymore?"

In her previous life, Jiang Yan's mother was murdered by her stepfather under the guise of celebrating their wedding anniversary with a trip abroad, and Jiang Yan herself, holding a huge inheritance, was locked by him in the basement of a villa and had one of her hands mangled. As natural disasters became more frequent and the apocalypse descended, the stepfather's family, hiding in the villa waiting for the apocalypse to pass, ultimately set their sights on Jiang Yan... With the opening of her eyes, Jiang Yan was reborn three months before the apocalypse. After activating her portable Space and successfully taking her revenge, she, now in possession of a massive amount of funds, started a global shopping spree: yachts, helicopters, off-road RVs, weapons, amphibious boats, necessities for clothing, food, shelter, and transport; everything from five-star delicacies to tasty street food hidden in remote corners... she bought and hoarded them all, bringing everything into her Space! Seeing that there was only one month left, Jiang Yan began a cramming-style learning binge: shooting! Flying planes! Driving boats! Hand-to-hand combat! Agricultural Planting! She even learned how to operate an excavator from the Red Xiang Technical School! In July, a double typhoon that caused seawater backflow starting from Japan marked the beginning of the apocalypse. A super high temperature wave followed right after, sweeping across the globe, along with torrential rains, earthquakes, pest infestations, extreme cold, nuclear contamination, mutation of animals and plants... one natural calamity after another ensued! While others fought over a packet of instant noodles or half a bottle of water, Jiang Yan was leisurely planting vegetables, raising fish, sitting comfortably in her safe house with air conditioning on, and enjoying her hot pot meal~ PS. This entire story is fictitious.

Rita Oreira, a fun-loving radio host known for her girly gossip, met a tragic end during a home burglary while trying to save her pet parrot. Surprisingly, she transmigrated into a fantasy novel as Lirian Nightwind, a quirky villainess from an evil family, destined to marry the wicked northern duke, Gabriel Sylcrest, who planned to take over the crown. In the original story, Lirian was set to betray Gabriel, leading to her own death by his hands. Fortunately and unfortunately for her, the new Lirian was protected by her two mischievous brothers, who were supposed to die alongside the duke. Their loyalty complicated her plans to escape the dark fate that awaited them all. In this new world, she had to scheme and do unspeakable things with the lunatic duke to protect her true identity and prevent anyone from discovering that she was not the real Lirian. Not only were the tasks out of line, but they were all for pure entertainment rather than any real purpose. As she accepted her life as his wife, she learned that her parrot, which could only say modern phrases, had special powers that made others believe it could see the future. If the parrot said, “Slay, b*tch!” Gabriel would kill a person on the spot. If the parrot said, “Let it cook!” the male lead would banish or imprison the chef, thinking the food was poisoned. If the parrot said, “Sus, very sus!” Gabriel would tear his advisors apart. As Lirian tried to change her destiny and save them all, she discovered surprising truths about those around her, especially Gabriel Sylcrest. Motivated to survive, Rita had to find a way to save them all. “The crown prince—!!!” “Say one more word about another man, and I’ll let my beasts tear him apart.” “You know, my Lord, for a duke who seeks power, you certainly have a way of making a girl feel… vulnerable.” “Vulnerable? No, my dear. You’re mine, and I’ll make sure everyone knows it. If another man even dares to look at you, I’ll unleash my wrath. I’ll have him begging for mercy, and then I’ll enjoy every moment of his despair.” “You can’t just claim me like that.” “Watch me. I’ll mark you as mine in blood and shadow. You’ll be a warning to anyone who thinks they can touch what belongs to me. The moment you’re within my reach, I’ll ensure no one else can ever have you.” “Is that a threat or a promise?” “Both, Lirian. And trust me, the line between love and possession is razor-thin. Cross me, and you’ll find out just how deep my darkness runs for you.”

Author: Lone Raut Synopsis: When I was alive, I was just another name on a serial killer's twisted list—who targeted mens of culture. Death should have been the end. But instead, I woke up in the dark, chaotic world of Saint's Odyssey, a fantasy novel I'd once read with disdain. This isn't just any story. It's a world where the so-called "hero," a two-faced hypocrite, uses his charm and manipulation to set off a chain of events that will destroy half the world. As fate would have it, I’ve been reborn into this world—not as some mighty warrior or divine savior, but as a nobody. No golden destiny. No god-given blessings. Just my wits, my will, and a grudge big enough to tear this narrative apart. The gods, the villains, the heroes—they think they hold the pen to fate. They think they control this story. Well, they’re wrong. This is my story now. And I won’t stop until I’ve rewritten every line. Watch as I shatter the hero’s image, unravel the gods' schemes, and conquer this world they thought was untouchable. Let them call me a villain—I’ll wear it like a crown. In a tale where every battle is a step toward conquest, and every betrayal is just another play in the game, one thing is clear: I didn’t choose this war, but I’m going to win it. Where the rules don’t matter, and the script is mine to flip.

It pays to look like the undead, when the paranoid emperor holds all first born nobles hostage in the Royal Academy. Particularly when the promiscuous crown prince treats the place as his own personal harem. That's why the infamous royal recluse, Lord Patric Siccus, doesn't mind that he looks like a dehydrated goblin, or that his eyes bulge out when he's too excited, and how his mouth fills up the rest of his face when he tries to smile. He went there for the library, after all. !!! DISCLAIMER !!! This novel is a work of fiction.

The moment Jiang Chen woke up in a cultivation world, he realized he wasn’t the hero—but the villain destined to fall under the protagonist’s blade. The so-called "Heaven's Chosen" was already set on a path of revenge against him, blessed with endless fortuitous encounters, loyal allies, and the protection of fate itself. Labeled an arrogant young master and despised by all, Jiang Chen seemed doomed to play his role as a mere stepping stone. But everything changed when the "Villain System" bound itself to him. A system that thrives on disrupting destiny, harvesting the protagonist's luck, and granting Jiang Chen terrifying power with every step he takes to destroy the narrative. Jiang Chen chuckled, "A protagonist protected by the heavens? Let's see how far you get when I strip you of everything you hold dear." The heavens may seek to crush him, but he’ll turn their chosen hero into nothing more than a pawn in his own story of ascension.

In 2018, the Earth's spiritual energy revived, humans awakened superpowers on a large scale. In 2022, alien civilizations discovered Earth and conducted observations. In 2025, Earth applied for civilization verification and joined the Interstellar Alliance. · Su Yu had been weak and sick since childhood. Even when Earth entered the spiritual energy recovery, it could not heal his body to some extent. However, he awakened a strange superpower. This superpower was a system that encouraged him to ascend the throne as king every day, saying that he only needed to raise his arm and there would be millions of handsome men and beautiful women standing up to welcome the queen back to the throne. Su Yu felt that his superpower was very outrageous. It was fine to ascend the throne as king, the millions of handsome men and beautiful women were not mentioned. The most outrageous thing was welcome the queen back to the throne, he was a man! ... However, Su Yu finally ascended the throne. In the interstellar competition, contestants from different planetary civilizations worked hard just to win the final grand prize. And Su Yu only needs to sit on the throne built by his insect generals, watching the evil and handsome guard holding his hand, and kissing his fingertips devoutly and humbly. "This star field will be my first coronation gift to you, please wait for our triumph. ——My most respected king." ============= #This article follows the Su Shuang (Marie Su and cool) plot! The protagonist will not be abused!# #The attacker may appear later, but there is really a CP!# T/N: The title should have been 'After being forced to ascend the throne, I became popular in the interstellar world' but there was a caracters limit so I went for this one.

My new family was different from all the expectations I had imagined; they loved me and treated me with kindness. Memories of my previous life began to return to me in flashes. In my past life, I was not an ordinary person; I was a man with vast ambitions, someone deeply immersed in knowledge and power. A world I knew through reading a fantasy novel. I am a villain; I was a villain in my past life, and here I am, reborn as a rich villain in a novel I read in my previous life.

This is a story about a Villain and a Witch. Please note that this work will also be made available on Scribblehub and Royal Road, in addition to its initial publication here. Three years ago, the sky over the magical world of Nethermere cracked, spewing spaceships from a so-called "superior" civilization. Their invasion? A spectacular flop. King Burn of Soulnaught—the most powerful man alive, a tyrant, and a genius—crushed them. Or so the legend goes. But the invaders stayed, hawking shiny tech and worming their way into Nethermere’s future. Colonization loomed. Burn wasn’t having it. If anyone was going to conquer the world, it’d be him. And he succeede—nope. She happened. A maddeningly beautiful witch reset time itself—seven loops—undoing everything Burn worked for. Her curse turned him into a pawn in her twisted game. "Why? You're wondering if I've trapped you in a time loop?" she taunted, all smiles. "It’s not just a spell but a curse! Dear Villain, you are now Witchbound!" Burn, furious and cursing her name, didn’t know what infuriated him more: her power, her schemes, or the fact that her presence tempted him in ways he didn’t dare admit. Usually, the devil did the tempting. But when the angel was this seductiv—COUGH—manipulative, even the devil felt the chill. What to expect from this story: A time-loop-checkpoint conquest story where the end goal is conquering the universe. The MCs? A genuine, unapologetic villain rocking the Lawful Evil vibe and a devastatingly beautiful Chaotic Good witch. Dripping with sarcasm, paired with slow-burning worldbuilding so you'll figure things out as you go. It’s medium-paced, tackling heavy topics like politics, war, and tight plotting—but don’t worry, it's squeezed in romance-comedy breaks to keep you breathing. Speaking of romance, it’s one of the major centerpieces of the story. One female lead, no romantic drama. But beware: this story might have too much romance for you to handle. If you’re afraid of that, well... only cowards skip out on romance! Expect a cocktail of classic high fantasy tropes blended with science fiction. Think modern isekai/gate/space vibes, featuring magic, mecha, strong-to-stronger characters, manipulative masterminds, and deliciously insane moments. Add to that: character growth, intricate connections, a Seinen demographic focus, kingdom building, military campaigns, world invasions, an apocalyptic tone, and sprinkles of legends, myths, world lore, and fairy tales. You’re welcome.

--- **AFTER BOOK** *Karya Luciel Veronica* "Kata-kata adalah arwah, dan buku ini adalah pusara bagi yang tak bisa melarikan diri." Di balik jendela kaca yang retak, matahari senja terjerat debu, merayapi rak-rak buku yang berdiri seperti makam bisu. Perpustakaan itu, sunyi dan terlupakan, menyerupai rongga dada tua yang hanya berisi bisikan-bisikan waktu. Di lorong terkelamnya, tersembunyi sebuah buku—tak bernama, tak bernyawa, namun tetap berbisik. Alea tak pernah mencari buku itu. Ia bahkan tak seharusnya ada di sana—di tengah udara dingin yang menggigit kulit seperti gigi hantu, di bawah cahaya lampu yang berkedip seakan ketakutan. Tapi ketika tangannya menyentuh sampulnya yang dingin, seolah-olah buku itu bernafas di genggamannya, halaman-halamannya mulai bergerak. Namanya terukir di tinta hitam yang berdenyut seperti nadi: “Alea S., nafasnya berhenti di bawah cahaya yang pecah.” Teks itu menulis kematiannya—pelan, penuh kenikmatan, seolah mencari makan untuk kepuasan

Title: Crimson Oath Synopsis: When 23-year-old game developer Adrian Cross dies in a freak accident, he wakes up as Vincent Astor, the notorious villain’s son from -Crimson Oath- , the fantasy RPG he helped create. Born into the infamous Astor family, Vincent is destined to follow his mother, the feared "Witch of Evernight," down a path of darkness that ultimately leads to his demise at the hands of the game's hero. But now that Adrian inhabits Vincent’s body, he has no intention of letting the story play out as written. Armed with insider knowledge of the game’s mechanics and plot, Vincent resolves to avoid becoming the villain and instead forge a brighter future. His first challenge? Surviving the prestigious yet cutthroat -Grand Arcanum Academy-, the central hub for training the next generation of nobles, heroes, and mages. The Academy is both an opportunity and a minefield for Vincent. Here, he must prove his worth among the children of dukes, kings, and other powerful figures while avoiding the hero and their companions. Yet, his attempts to stay under the radar backfire spectacularly when his unconventional actions begin to draw attention—both admiration and suspicion. Complicating matters further, Vincent’s mother, Lady Seraphina, has arranged for him to succeed her dark legacy. Her enigmatic letters and cryptic warnings cast a shadow over his attempts to forge a new path. Meanwhile, the Academy is rife with rivalries, dangerous alliances, and secrets, including an underground network tied to a brewing conflict that Vincent thought he had scripted merely as background lore. Despite his intentions to remain neutral, Vincent begins to make unexpected connections: a cold and aloof princess ranked at the top of their class, a sharp-tongued commoner with a chip on his shoulder, and even the hero themself, who seem different from what he remembers. As he navigates the high-stakes environment of the Academy, Vincent realizes that his actions are causing ripple effects far beyond his control. Now caught between his desire to rewrite his fate and the growing pressure to fulfill his destined role as the villain’s heir, Vincent must decide what kind of person he wants to become—and what sacrifices he’s willing to make to achieve it. -Themes: - Redemption in the shadow of a villainous legacy - Friendship and rivalry in a competitive academy setting - Political intrigue and alliances among noble families - The blurred line between hero and villain Will Vincent rise above his destiny, or will his choices lead him back to the darkness he so desperately wants to avoid?
