Callum Pierce thought his life was perfectly under control—wealth, power, and the CEO title of a gaming company most people only dream of working at. But then the dreams started: memories of being Prince Caelan, the golden heir to a kingdom betrayed and destroyed—and of Ashur, the stablehand he’d loved with his whole soul. Now, Callum’s sure of two things: reincarnation is real, and Micah Liu, the shy but ridiculously talented intern at his company, is Ashur reborn. But in this life, Micah is a stranger—and worse, he has a boyfriend; Damian Wells. Reincarnation was not on Callum’s bingo card, and neither was this absurd, awkward love triangle. Between balancing CEO responsibilities and unraveling the tangled mess of their past lives, Callum has to navigate the perils of modern romance while resisting the urge to blurt out, “Hi, I think you’re my soulmate from another life and, oh, by the way, your boyfriend’s dad stabbed my dad once.” Will Callum win back the love of his past life? Can he uncover the truth behind their tragic downfall before history repeats itself? And most importantly, can he survive the awkward lunch dates?

#Villainess #Showbiz #Unrequited_Love #System Maevie Oz has a long one-sided crush of ten plus years on the Super Idol, Jiang Yuan, who in return of her affection always showed her his indifference. She even joined the survival show, Tomorrow’s Idol, just be in the same frame as him. One night she came to know that she was never a part of what she thought was her family. She was an outsider who took advantage of the little kindness shown to her. Then she got into a road accident. Maevie was notified of being bounded by a system which strived to correct the paths of villains and villainess and lead a happy, successful, and evil free life. The system told her that she was a villainess character in a world where Yi Ran was the protagonist. Her karmic value was negative and would invite only hatred from others. To redeem herself, she was sent to ten different worlds as training and got a skill as a reward for each world she successfully completed. After what seemed like centuries, she was finally back to her own world. She woke up in a hospital. Her centuries of journey were merely 10 hours in her real world. As taught to her, in the future, she would not compete with Yi Ran for the affections she got. She would not go after Luther like a lost puppy and be a hinder to him. This time she would focus on herself. Be a better Maevie. . . . Luther has a tail he could never get rid of since the first time they met when he was 17. Now he was 28 and she still followed him to the survival show despite her lack of talent and interest of being an idol. But ever since she was caught in the multiple scandal, she was a changed person. She no longer appeared in every place he went. He heard she stopped bulling her little sister. She was no longer a snarly impolite girl who only knew how to whine and complain. Luther thought that it would not last long. But she remained consistent to this character. He deliberately appears in front of her to see her reaction. She still smiles at him when she gave him the lunch box. But he was not the only one she gives it to. It was clear that she still idolized him. But he was not special to her anymore. Luther had never thought that such a day would finally come. His tail of 12 years was finally leaving his side. But there was one thing he did not expect. He never expected that he would be the one to hate this change.

Oh, and also, He has a system like the one he had in his game, one that allowed him to use this gacha to roll for advantages. Will he survive in this new world? Or will he fall prey to the dog-eat-dog nature of this world?

Empire must be conquered and torched down. And hearts needs to be snatched. However, who would have thought that a man full of viciousness and arrogance that could pierce the sky would suddenly barge into Xiaofei's life?

In the church's prison, a man looked at his shackles. 'Little girl... is this the ending you wanted to see?' Thinking back to that resolute and pretty face in his memory and that golden hair like the blooming sunset, Lister sighed. 'If I had known that my end will be like this, I might as well have abandoned that little useless princess, opened a small tavern, and found a woman to spend my life with.' "Man, how unlucky am I..." Lister remembered that while he was playing with these little fluffy monster girls, he used to often tease a certain witch that she would accidentally end up on the stake, making her puzzled, but he didn't expect that he would be the one to go up first. "If all this could start over... I should have chosen the monster girls after all." "Oh? Really?" A cold yet teasing voice sounded beside him. As he turned his head to look, powerful magic energy gathered and swirled, and finally, a tall female figure walked out of it. She wore a tight black dress that showed off her curvy, mature figure. Lister knew her... or rather, should have known her. 'The Sinful Dragon Demon Lord, Priscilla' "Did you really mean it when you said you'd choose monster girls?" "...I wonder if the mighty Demon Lord has decided to grace me with a heart-to-heart in this cozy little prison." "As expected of the mastermind who single-handedly helped that incompetent woman to the throne. Even now you have the energy to crack jokes?" "You flatter me. I think it's quite humanistic for a Demon Lord who has children for breakfast, lunch, and dinner to chat with a dying man in prison." "Tsk, getting upset over a little teasing already?" "Sigh, alright, I don't have much time either. Let me get to the point with you. What are you still waiting for here, waiting to die?" "I don't know, maybe waiting for a female Demon Lord to come swoop in and save me?" "You know Aurola has abandoned you. What are you still hoping for?" "...So what does this have to do with the Demon Lord? We only have a very shallow cooperative relationship; I don't think it matters if I die or not." "Of course it does." Priscilla smiled and pressed the blunt end of her dragon horn against his forehead. "Because I want you, but I'm different from Aurola. What she gave you, I can give. What she couldn't give you, I can also give. Didn't you want to choose monster girls? In the Demon Capital, there are all kinds of monster girls. You can pick whichever you like." "Then, are there fluffy and warm ones?" "...I think the ones with hard scales and slender, elegant physiques are not bad either." "Ahem, I digress." "Anyway, I understand you better than you think. As long as you come with me to the Demon Capital, I will satisfy your everything within my power. As long as you promise me one thing..." "I know." Lister picked up where Priscilla left off, smiling back at her. "You want me, right?" "What a smarty~. So, you agree?" "Mm. I'll go with you." 'And come on, it's fluffy monster girls' 'I can't refuse.'

She went camping with her classmates and accidentally solved a serial murder case, earning the title of "Top Ten Good Citizens." She volunteered at a kindergarten and, by chance, saved the grandson of the richest man, who then recognized her as his goddaughter. She attended an international music festival as a background participant and unintentionally made headlines. Seeing the influential figures gathering around Su Xingchen, and her gaining both fame and fortune, Shen Yan fell into deep thought. * Before falling in love with Su Xingchen, Shen Yan took her to see his pet crocodile and, smiling, scared her: "Nike likes fresh meat. Miss Su, you are pampered and tender-skinned, its favorite." Su Xingchen trembled with fear and almost idolized Shen Yan. After falling in love with Su Xingchen, Shen Yan sent flowers and rings daily, invited her to dinner and musicals, but she avoided him like the plague. Shen Yan took her to see the crocodile again and gloomily threatened: "If you dare to avoid me again, you will be Nike's lunch." Su Xingchen's eyes reddened with grievance: "Shen Yan, don't scare me, that crocodile is so scary." Shen Yan pursed his lips and reached out to rub the corners of her eyes: "I'll stew Nike today." Su Xingchen looked puzzled, only to see Shen Yan smile, his phoenix eyes shimmering: "To celebrate my iron tree finally blooming."
