Renascimento nos Anos 80: A Esposa Intelectual é Fofa

Enganada para se casar, explorada por toda a vida como uma babá sem pagamento e, finalmente, espancada até a morte por sua mãe adotiva na frente do leito de doença de seu pai adotivo, a vida miserável de Shen Mianmian chegou ao fim. Quando ela abriu os olhos novamente, viu-se de volta aos quinze. Shen Mianmian jurou escapar do seu destino passado, punir sua prima maliciosa e mãe adotiva, mas acidentalmente brilhou demais no processo. A estudante que estava entre as últimas da escola de repente subiu ao topo, se tornando a candidata disputada por universidades prestigiosas, causando sensação entre todos os professores e alunos... Enquanto outros estavam ocupados estudando, Shen Mianmian estava ocupada iniciando pequenos negócios para ganhar dinheiro... Enquanto outros se preparavam para os exames de entrada na faculdade, Shen Mianmian comprou as duas casas mal-assombradas mais notórias de Pequim de uma só vez... tornando-se uma anomalia aos olhos de todos, zombaram dela dizendo que mesmo que tivesse a fortuna para comprá-las, poderia não ter a vida para morar nelas. Enquanto outros se formavam e estavam ocupados procurando emprego, as propriedades mal-assombradas compradas por Shen Mianmian foram requisitadas pelo governo, rendendo-lhe uma quantia considerável de compensação pela demolição. Aqueles que zombaram dela não puderam deixar de se bater duas vezes... procurando em todos os lugares onde poderia haver casas mal-assombradas à venda. Shen Mianmian, que originalmente precisava pegar dinheiro emprestado para as mensalidades da escola, usou os fundos da demolição e aproveitou a vantagem de seu renascimento para comprar um terreno adequado e construiu um prédio de aluguel, transformando-se na proprietária de terras mais rica e próspera de Pequim... Um dia, Shen Mianmian, carregando uma bolsa de chaves e tendo acabado de coletar o aluguel, foi arrastada para o Cartório de Registro Civil. "Shen Mianmian, é hora de você pagar o que me deve."

La Señorita Gu es demasiado débil para defenderse por sí misma

"Corría el rumor de que Qiao Xi tenía una constitución débil —una belleza enfermiza. Corría el rumor de que gastaba una fortuna todos los días en medicamentos, comiéndolos como si fueran caramelos. Corría el rumor de que diez sirvientes la asistían en su cama todos los días —una carga para todos. Todos esperaban que la familia Qiao devolviera a Qiao Xi al campo y la dejara valerse por sí misma. —Todos dicen que soy débil y no puedo cuidarme a mí misma. Al parecer, también gasto dinero de manera imprudente —dijo Qiao Xi. Miró su camisa desgarrada y estaba exasperada. —¿Estás diciendo que esta familia rica permite que su hija use ropa desgarrada todos los días? —preguntó Qiao Xi. ¿La hija rica de la familia Qiao? ¡Ya tenía suficiente! ¡No lo volvería a ser! Por lo tanto… —Sin la familia Qiao, no eres nada —dijo el chico canalla. —Si me echan de la familia Qiao, estaré acabada —asintió Qiao Xi. —Hermana, no te desanimes demasiado. Mientras trabajas duro, algún día serás alabada —lamentó la chica canalla. —Cállate, no conozco a una traidora como tú —replicó Qiao Xi. El chico y la chica canallas: —¿?¿? Se decía que el hijo más joven de la familia Gu, Gu Zheng, se casó precipitadamente con una mujer que no tenía nada más que su apariencia. —¿Alguien me está subestimando? —dijo Qiao Xi. Un día, Qiao Xi vio a uno de los empleados de Gu Zheng devanándose los sesos con una serie de números en la pantalla del ordenador. Como estaba libre, decidió echar una mano. ¿Acaba de romper el cortafuegos creado por los esfuerzos conjuntos de los hackers de élite más destacados?! Gu Zheng se acercaba cada vez más a ella —Qiao Xi, ¿qué más me estás ocultando? ¿Hmm? —¡Oh, no! ¡Me siento mareada otra vez! Soy tan débil. Este cuerpo mío es simplemente demasiado débil —se lamentó Qiao Xi."

A Carismática Fortuna da Garota da Fazenda

Às margens do Rio Xishui, vivia uma família de sobrenome Ruo, cuja sorte era tão desastrosamente ruim que parecia que a má sorte possuía suas próprias almas. Quando outras famílias tinham colheitas abundantes, a Família Ruo não colhia um único grão. Seus vegetais plantados eram devorados por insetos, suas galinhas pegavam peste aviária, seus porcos pegavam febre suína... Apesar de a casa estar cheia de homens fortes, eles eram ou loucos, aleijados ou cegos... O que teria sido uma família de grandes perspectivas tornou-se a mais pobre em dez milhas. A única coisa que os outros invejavam na Família Ruo eram seus membros masculinos prósperos! A velha senhora da Família Ruo deu à luz seis filhos, que depois lhe deram quatro netos. Ela sonhava dia e noite em ter uma neta. Quando ela finalmente teve uma neta, para seu desânimo, a criança era mentalmente desabilitada: com mais de três anos, ela ainda não conseguia falar ou andar, sequer conseguia comer ou se aliviar sem ajuda. Todo mundo achava que a Família Ruo nunca mudaria sua sorte nesta vida! Isso foi até a criança mentalmente desabilitada de três anos e meio de repente chamar, “Mamãe...” Os céus começaram a mudar. O mundo começou a se tornar misterioso. No quintal da Família Ruo, os caquis amadureceram da noite para o dia. Os vegetais nos campos, quase devorados por insetos, ficaram verdes e exuberantes. A velha galinha que nunca botava ovos de repente começou a botar... Enquanto outros enfrentavam fome, o celeiro da Família Ruo estava cheio. O filho mais velho não era mais louco, o segundo filho não era mais aleijado, o terceiro filho não era mais cego... A velha senhora da Família Ruo, com as mãos nos quadris, ria alegremente para o céu, "Quem diz que minha Xuanbao é uma simplória? Ela é claramente um tesouro de bênçãos!" (Este é um romance de fazenda com um toque de encanto de fada, onde a protagonista feminina em uma vida anterior era um lírio do dia recém-despertado que reencarnou como humana.)

La carismática fortuna de la chica de la granja

En el Río Xishui, vivía una familia con el apellido Ruo, cuya suerte era tan desastrosamente mala que parecía que la desgracia poseía sus propias almas. Cuando otras familias tenían cosechas abundantes, la Familia Ruo no cosechaba un solo grano. Las verduras que plantaban eran devoradas por insectos, sus gallinas contraían la peste aviar, sus cerdos la fiebre porcina... A pesar de que el hogar estaba lleno de hombres fuertes, estaban locos, lisiados o ciegos... Lo que podría haber sido una familia de grandes perspectivas se convirtió en la más pobre en un radio de diez millas. Lo único que otros envidiaban de la Familia Ruo era ¡sus florecientes miembros masculinos! La anciana de la Familia Ruo había dado a luz a seis hijos, quienes luego le dieron cuatro nietos. Soñaba día y noche con tener una nieta. Cuando finalmente tuvo un nieto, para su consternación, el niño era mentalmente discapacitado: con más de tres años, todavía no podía hablar ni caminar, ni siquiera podía comer o aliviarse sin ayuda. ¡Todos pensaban que la Familia Ruo nunca cambiaría su fortuna en esta vida! Eso fue hasta que el niño de tres años, mentalmente discapacitado, de repente dijo —Mamá... Los cielos comenzaron a cambiar. El mundo empezó a volverse misterioso. En el patio de la Familia Ruo, los caquis maduraron de la noche a la mañana. Las verduras en los campos, casi devoradas por los insectos, se volvieron frondosas y verdes. La gallina vieja que nunca había puesto huevos de repente comenzó a poner... Mientras otros enfrentaban hambrunas, el granero de la Familia Ruo estaba lleno. El hijo mayor ya no estaba loco, el segundo hijo ya no estaba lisiado, el tercer hijo ya no estaba ciego... La anciana de la Familia Ruo, con las manos en las caderas, se reía a carcajadas hacia el cielo —¿Quién dice que mi Xuanbao es un simpleton? ¡Claramente es un tesoro de bendiciones! (Esta es una novela de agricultura con un toque de encanto de hadas, donde la protagonista femenina en una vida anterior era un lirio del día recién despertado que se ha reencarnado como humana.)

Am reborn as an SSS ranked monster!!! All humans are after me

"Yawn…" At the mouth of a massive cave high above the world, a giant beast stood, its sharp eyes scanning the land below. The white fur covering its massive frame shimmered, turning orange in the glow of the setting sun. "System, you owe me," the beast muttered lazily, letting out another deep yawn. (Host should be grateful for the system. This system will make you the strongest being in this world—and beyond.) "Yeah, yeah, I've heard it all before. But why couldn't I reincarnate as a human or, I don't know, a god? No, I get stuck as a beast. And not just any beast—the most wanted beast in the entire world," the creature grumbled, his tone dripping with annoyance. (But host, you are an SSS-ranked beast.) "Yeah, and what's that supposed to mean? System, I've been attacked forty times today. Forty! And I was just born this morning," he snapped, his tail lashing as his dark blue eyes glared out into the horizon. (…) "Oh, now you're quiet. Fine. Then answer me this—where are my parents? You know, the ones who should be raising me or at least teaching me how not to die?" (Erm… yes, host. Your parents… left you to fend for yourself.) "Great. Just great. That does it—I'd really appreciate it if I could go back to Earth," he growled, turning around and trudging back into the cave, his heavy footsteps echoing through the stone walls. This beast wasn't just rare; it was legendary. A creature straight out of myths and stories. Anyone who could capture it would instantly become the strongest tamer alive. But it wasn't just the fame or power that made this beast special. Its massive, wolf-like body was covered in sleek white fur . Its eyes—dark blue with black edging—gave it a fierce, almost otherworldly presence. The beauty and charm that came with owning this beast were part of its allure. The cave itself was no ordinary hiding place. Perched thousands of meters in the sky, it was practically unreachable. Yet, humans would still risk life and limb to climb the cliff, all for a shot at taming the beast. Inside, the walls were lined with glowing red insects, casting an eerie light, while smooth, white stones radiated a calm, almost soothing energy. "I was living the dream," the beast muttered, lying down on the cool floor. "Just a lazy dude heading out to buy the newest game when—bam—Truck-kun hit me. And now, here I am, stuck in this godforsaken cave, being hunted every hour of the day." The memory made him growl softly, the sound rumbling through the cave. He stretched his massive body and glanced around, taking in the strange glow of the insects and the calm of the stones. "Guess there's no use complaining. Might as well figure out what to do next," he thought, settling into the only comfortable spot he could find. Outside, the first stars began to dot the darkening sky. The beast's eyes gleamed as he watched them. He didn't ask to be here, but if this world wanted to make him the most hunted creature alive, then fine. They'd regret ever coming after him. Not only them but even beyond—the gods and the demons alike—for he would be the reincarnation of doom. But first… "A proper good night's sleep," the beast muttered as his eyes closed, and he drifted to sleep.

I spent forty years of my life doing nothing but reading books and stories written by others. I worked hard to manifest this rebirth, and yet you did not bless me with anything. Why?" A voice echoed in his mind, "Host, you have the Omnipotent Husband System." Hao Ren scoffed and scolded the system, "What is the use of having you when you are not even active? Are you shitting with me, you bastard?!" The system replied, "Host the condition for activating the system is to get married."

Years later, Hao Ren became an entity many people wished to meet. However, Hao Ren never stayed outside, to everything he had one reply, "I have to go home and cook for my wife."

"Oops, I'm the Heiress?!"

Seventeen-year-old Myraa Hana Lee is nothing special—or so she thinks. In Montreal, she’s the invisible girl who blends into the background like an old piece of wallpaper. No popularity, no drama, and no problem—because Myraa likes her quiet life just the way it is. But when her mom suddenly ships her off to Japan for a “vacation,” Myraa’s ordinary world is turned upside down. First, there’s the sprawling Reizei estate, which looks more like a movie set than a home. Then, there’s Camellia Academy, an elite school full of rich, glamorous students who are convinced Myraa is someone important. To her shock, they’re not entirely wrong—because Myraa isn’t just another student. She’s the heiress to one of Japan’s most powerful families. Now thrust into a world of luxury, intrigue, and over-the-top attention, Myraa has to navigate her new life as “everyone’s darling.” But surviving posh parties, dramatic classmates, and relentless rumors is no easy task—especially when the Reizei family is full of secrets. At her side is Kyra Shion Reizei, her cool, protective (and infuriatingly charming) cousin who insists on acting like her personal knight. Myraa’s clumsy chaos contrasts hilariously with Kyra’s effortless grace, but as the two grow closer, their bond deepens into something Myraa doesn’t quite understand. With scheming rivals, glitter-bomb disasters, and a mysterious past threatening to unravel her newfound world, Myraa must decide: Will she rise to the challenge of being a Reizei heiress? Or will her clumsiness take down the entire legacy? “Oops, I’m the Heiress?!” is a heartwarming and hilarious tale of self-discovery, found family, and a dash of unexpected romance. Perfect for fans of lighthearted drama, witty banter, and swoon-worthy knight-and-princess dynamics!

Sweet Waters Throne

Aurora is a seer and a powerful witch who has yet to aknowledge her powers, only Artemis knows of it. Lucian Mithandir is in exile recruiting an army to fight Prince Castellan of house Taelin for the throne of Prophis. Artemis wants no parts of this war, but he is very aware whoever wins the war will later turn to Maldonia. Artemis has no clue that a bigger war is coming which will set out kingdoms on fire, Aurora has seen it in her dreams and it's for the Sweet Waters Throne in Maldonia. The end is uncertain but the ways are clearer, who will sit on the throne after the war to end all wars. The Bastard who's been denied his true claim to the Sweet Waters throne with the mighties fleet in the world and King Artemis of Maldonia who has Aurora and dragons breathing fire. ~ Excerpt Scene ~ "Are you ready? A dragon is not a horse my love" Aurora expressed her concerns. "The dragons are ready to be claimed, Your Grace. I think it’s the perfect time for Artodo to take the skies and be claimed. He and the King have great relationship. He just needs to understand the words that’s all. "Torgo explained while looking at both Aurora and Artemis. "I understand the words." Said Artemis. "Incendio for fire and Valar for him to fly. I know some Low Moor too." It seemed Aurora wasn’t easily convinced, "Knowing the language of our ancestors doesn’t mean you can hang on to the dragon and take to the skies, especially since you are not just practicing. You are taking the dragon to the Mines, in clear daylight." "Exactly, that is the only way we can silence Lord Leoric. I cannot let him take advantage of my sister, I have to try…" Visera interrupted. "He’s ready, I can see it in his eyes." She said with a smirk. Aurora ordered Torgo. "Bring him outside," in Low Moor. Torgo nodded and walked inside the darkened cave with a fire torch. All five dragons were inside the cave perfectly chained. He went after Artodo, the biggest of them all. The black beast, standing at forty feet from head to tail with a wingspan of twenty feet. A terrifying beast to even stare at. Artemis took two deep breaths. "According to my ancestors history, the youngest dragon rider to ever took the skies was ten years old. You’ll be fine." Aurora teased Artemis after she noticed how nervous he was. The dragon keepers placed a saddle on Artodo’s back and two strong handles made of iron and wood for Artemis to hang on to. Then, finally Aurora walked to Artodo — the black beast. She pulled in Artemis and they both touched the dragon’s right eye, soothing him before the take off. "This is your rider now Artodo, you are to obey him from this day forward to the last, as your mother commands." Aurora said this is Low Moor while the dragon hissed slowly. The dragon hissed and Aurora took it a sign that Artodo understood him. She took a step back and let Artemis take over. These two weren’t strangers to one another. Artemis’s touch wasn’t strange to Artodo and he silently lowered his left wingspan for Artemis to climb up. Carefully and slowly, Artemis mounted the black beast. It was no secret that he was scared. When he was on top of the dragon, Artemis smiled looking down and he suddenly exclaimed. "You all look like tiny bees from up here!" Aurora, Visera, Torgo and the dragon keepers laughed. Aurora walked to him and they looked at each other. Their dream finally came true; "Promise me, you’ll come back alive." Said Aurora. "I promise." "And that you will not burn the Mines to the ground. If she disagrees with you, perhaps it’s time to let her go." This was what Artemis truly needed to hear so he may stop his obsession with saving his sister. When he was ready, he shouted to Artodo. "Valar Artodo," and right there the dragon’s feet pounded the ground heavy as it prepared for takeoff.

Pappus & Sonder

R18. The consequences of sex ripple through a lifetime for four college-aged friends, Ruby, Coral, Josh and Luke. Steamy, juicy, racy, yet sensually romantic. Let’s start with wistful Luke, your reflective narrator—the shy watcher. Next, the lovey-dove Coral, the group's collective adhesive. A modern girl with a regency heart, whom Ruby has the hots for. God, she is gorgeous. Coral’s action boyfriend, over-eager Josh, is a hunk who only has sex on his mind and is hopeful Coral will be his first! And risqué Ruby. The little minx is sassy, sharp, conniving, and considering getting inked as the story commences. There is plenty of wayward troupe fun and raucous laughs through high school and college in 1970s Melbourne. Whoops, an overdose of selfishness by everyone at eighteen, and relationships mess because pleasure ignited by pleasure’s ignition is always a pleasure for two or more until someone muddies it with words or actions. So, adult theme warning, erotic impulses are indulged. However, they generate contemplative introspection on friendship, passion, self-centeredness, cheating, brooding, contrition, resilience and love over the next forty years. The story unfolds like recall, intentional or spontaneous, rolling in and out of our minds, non-chronologically. Our yearnings are tattooed under our skin. From there, they will swell back. Ready, set, go, read the ripples! Author Note: The novel is complete, and all 133 chapters will be uploaded and remain unlocked. Dedication For anyone who gifts a second chance Epigraph “all those kids” It is attributed to H.S.Truman, by Henry A. Wallace, diary entry of 10 August 1945. Acknowledgement To the women who shaped my contemplative life and the women, I owe contrition. To my wife, who frames the frame of my life and my daughters, who asked me the perennially unanswerable questions about love and relationships, which triggered me to write the story. To my editors; Nikki, who sparked the novel’s ripples through time and Jennifer, who drew out of me a more engaging and cohesive narrative. To Sonder, coined in 2012 by John Koenig, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows. To dandelion pappus; blown free of yearnings. I include the following here because its prudent as a writer: This novel is entirely a work of fiction. The names, characters and incidents portrayed in it are the work of the author’s imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events or localities is entirely coincidental. Except where real place names and actual tragic events are used with sensitivity.

Villain's way to live

Prologue I always hated my life. Bland, uninspired, a loop of mediocrity. My mornings started with the sound of a cheap alarm clock and ended with sleepless nights haunted by dreams of a better life—dreams that never came true. Life was cruel, unfair, and unrelenting. But even in my wildest nightmares, I never imagined that dying would be my gateway to something worse. When I opened my eyes again, I wasn’t in the comfort of my dingy apartment. No peeling wallpaper. No stack of ramen cups piled up on the table. Just a cold, cavernous room dripping with opulence, the kind only an aristocrat could afford. At first, I thought it was a lucid dream or some twisted afterlife. Then, I caught my reflection in a massive gilded mirror. Long, dark hair. Sharp features with an almost cruel beauty. Eyes that radiated arrogance and menace. I knew that face. Anyone who played "The Princess is in love with me" knew that face. Killian Nux, the Major Antagonist of the story, destined to be defeated by the plucky protagonist and his harem of magical misfits. He wasn’t just a villain—he was the villain. The one everyone loved to hate. And now... I was him. Great. Just great. If reincarnation was supposed to give me a second chance, someone really screwed up. I didn’t just end up in a fantasy world; I landed right in the middle of a sadistic dating sim known for its brutal difficulty and relentless drama. In the game, Killian Nux wasn’t just a spoiled noble. He was a monster. An overpowered, sadistic tyrant feared and hated by everyone. His fall was as inevitable as the sunrise. By the end of the story, his power, his pride, his very existence was crushed under the protagonist’s boot. If I didn’t want to meet the same fate, I needed to change everything. But fate had other plans. To survive in this world, I had to attend the Olympus Academy, the melting pot of heroes, heroines, villains, and victims. The place where the story began. The place where Killian's path to ruin was set in stone. And it gets better—or worse. Because walking into that academy means meeting him. The Protagonist. That righteous, golden-haired beacon of hope destined to unite everyone against me. Along with him come the Main Heroines—the princess, the knight, the healer, the mage—and even the Villainess, the one character I might have been able to rely on if Edward hadn’t been such a bastard to her in the original game. So what am I supposed to do? Watch the Protagonist steal the spotlight, woo every girl in sight, and forge his path to glory? No. I’m not playing by the game’s script. If I’m destined to be the villain, then so be it. But I won’t go down quietly. If Killian Nux is supposed to fall, he’ll do so as the strongest, most feared villain this world has ever seen. After all, if I’m going to live in this hellhole of a game, I might as well make it my story.
