The Xiao family, known as the poorest amongst the mountaineers had just spent all their savings as dowry for a daughter-in-law, who was disfigured, dark, skinny, and mute. Mocked as the ugliest bride within miles, she eventually had enough of a life in poverty and escaped, only to fall in the hands of rogues who murdered her. When she opened her eyes again, her soul was now that of a killer's, and her disfigurement was healed while her unhealthily tanned skin was now fair as day.... And she could also talk! As she became the most beautiful bride. Villagers kept their distance from the Xiao family, claiming that they were jinxes. But despite her poverty, the bride was fortunate to have a loyal mountaineer husband who spoiled her to bits. Hence, the bride guided her husband to riches, buying farms and tending to them diligently, while starting a family to gain riches through blood and sweat.

Kael was just a normal human at first, until a dungeon raid left him paralyzed with fear. After that, he resorted to hauling gear for various raid parties, clinging to survival in the only way he could. Soon, he became known across the guilds as a nobody—mocked for how slowly he leveled up. That reputation eventually led him into a high-risk dungeon raid that nearly annihilated the entire group. Kael died in that dungeon after making a reckless mistake. But amidst the chaos, he awakens a system—and is instantly brought back to life. Now, with hatred burning in his heart after witnessing the darkest depths of human cruelty, Kael returns with a new resolve. He enrolls in a prestigious academy and quietly levels up with the help of his system, all while staying in the background—letting others believe they’re the protagonists. In truth, he’s the puppet master behind every major event. Watch as a forgotten nobody rises above the so-called main characters, pulling the strings from the shadows—and rewriting their fate without them even knowing. ------------------ Hey everyone! This is my first time writing a “hidden boss / shadow ruler” type of story, so expect a slower-paced start. I want to build the world, the system, and the MC’s hidden moves properly before things spiral into chaos. It’s not an action-packed rush from chapter one—but trust me, the buildup will be worth it. This story is all about schemes, secrets, and that satisfying feeling when the “nobody” turns out to be the one pulling all the strings. Thanks for giving this a shot.

"This jinx! What a jinx!" Years ago, a terrible accident left her grandmother crippled. Since then, no one had heard from her parents. Naturally, the villagers blamed the girl—Ye Lianhua, the cursed child. So when she collapsed suddenly in the middle of the square, they gathered around, pointing fingers, cursing her, and watching with cold eyes. Only one person cried for her. Her grandmother, now an old woman in her early sixties, knelt beside her unconscious body, begging for help. Suddenly— “Host… Welcome to your new world. System transfer failed. Host… wake up.” A robotic voice echoed in Ye Lianhua's ears. “What the hell is that noise?” she muttered, shifting lazily in her sleep. Hearing her speak, the crowd went silent. Then chaos. “The jinx isn’t dead?” one woman shouted, cracking open her groundnuts. “Is it her ghost?!” another shrieked. The crowd screamed and stumbled back in panic. Lianhua yawned, rubbed her eyes, and sat up slowly. “Where the hell am I? Wasn’t I just fooling around with six guys in a hotel suite?!” Screams. Confusion. Then— “Host, welcome to your new world. Due to a bug in the system, you have been transferred into the Ping Dynasty… with a Farming System.” WHAT?! Ye Lianhua, a carefree city girl who spent her days traveling, flirting, and living the high life, suddenly finds herself dumped into the body of a village outcast in an ancient dynasty. No phone. No food. Just dirty peasants, a suspiciously hostile village, and… a Farming System? With zero farming skills and an attitude problem, she’ll have to dig, plant, and scheme her way to survival—because dying again? Not on her watch. Enemies? Check. Snarky system voice? Check. Cursed reputation, tragic grandma, spirit chickens, and mysterious seeds? Double check. Can Ye Lianhua go from village jinx to divine farmer… or will this bugged system sow the seeds of her downfall?

RISE OF THE PHOENIX She’s a diamond to him… but a jinx to others. “I want her,” said the aloof voice, slicing through the hushed murmurs of the grand hall. The Empress rose from her throne, fury flashing in her eyes. “Regent, isn’t that rude? This is my son’s coronation and wedding!” “That doesn’t stop me from getting what I want,” he replied, his voice cold, his gaze fixed like a predator who had already claimed his prize. A ripple of unease spread through the court. Who is he — this man feared even by kings? Who is she — the girl branded a jinx, yet desired by the kingdom’s most dangerous man? And why her? Some say fate favors the bold. Others say it toys with the cursed. In a world of crowns, betrayals, and buried secrets, one woman’s destiny could ignite a rebellion… or burn an empire to ash. Discover the truth in Rise of the Phoenix.

She is there wherever there are melons. So on a thunderstorm night with lightning and rain, she traveled through time and became a poor little girl with the same name in the 1970s. 　　The poor little girl lost her mother at an early age, and her scumbag father remarried. Not only did she not have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, but she also had to do endless housework and endure endless beatings and scolding. 　　The time when Jiang Youtao traveled through time was the moment when the poor scumbag father forced the original owner to go to the countryside to take over his stepbrother's place in order to have someone to take care of him in his old age and to smash a pot after his death. 　　Thinking about the environment of hunger and cold in this era, Jiang Youtao's eyes went dark. In the last second before she lost consciousness, a voice appeared in her mind: 　　[ Ding ~ The melon-eating system is at your service. As long as you complete the melon-eating task, you can exchange it for supplies~~] 　　In order to have enough food and clothes, Jiang Youtao tried hard, so she ran around in the bloody world that was a fusion of many contemporary literatures, either eating melons or on the way to eat melons. 　　A certain educated youth from the same educated youth point traveled through time with space supplies, but ended up being a poverty alleviation stepmother; 　　"The mission is here ~ Watch and mess up the first meeting between the male and female protagonists, and the rewards are: 3 meat buns, 500g beef jerky, 1kg butter melon seeds." 　　A young wife in the village who had just been married for one day woke up and wanted to divorce her husband and marry her ex-husband's uncle; 　　"Ding ~ Watch the famous scene of the heroine getting divorced and applaud in public to receive 5kg of rice, 250g of pork, 5 feet of cloth, and 1kg of salt and pepper melon seeds." 　　The accountant's eldest granddaughter is a well-known lucky bag, while the second granddaughter is a jinx who is plagued by bad luck; 　　"Ding ~ Watch the jinx star commit suicide and help her, and you will get 5kg of white flour, a chicken drumstick, and 1kg of green tea flavored melon seeds." 　　Jiang Youtao enjoyed eating melons, and the melon seeds in her hand kept increasing. She had to go out to sell them. Before she knew it, she had made a fortune by selling melon seeds and became a famous roasted food king after the reform and opening up. The courtyard houses in Beijing and the small houses in Haishi were no longer a dream for her. She could go wherever she wanted. 　　But while she was eating the melon, a figure suddenly appeared beside her.

Jinx had always been a walking disaster. A conman without charm, a thief who couldn’t even pick a pocket without getting caught. His plans fell apart the moment he hatched them, and in the end, so did he—losing his money, his reputation, and, ultimately, his life. But death wasn’t the final chapter. When he opened his eyes again, everything felt different. His body—no longer his—was someone else’s, a stranger’s. Somehow, though, it felt right. He was inside the body of a man from a mysterious group called The Hidden Circle, and to his surprise, he didn’t feel out of place. It was as if he’d always been one of them, like he’d never been Jinx at all.

In the year 2039, the divided Handong Peninsula is in a state of darkness. The violent death of Kim Jung-hoon, the leader of North Khantung, has opened a gaping hole in the power vacuum. His daughter, Kim Min-joo, hastily succeeded to the throne with the support of her aunt, Kim Jung-sook, but became a puppet in the game of power.

The protagonist of the novel faced a great deal of misfortune right from birth. The mother once wanted to strangle the protagonist, and the grandmother also insulted the protagonist, calling him/her a freak and a jinx. Fortunately, the maternal grandmother adopted the protagonist, and the protagonist spent an innocent childhood by her side. The protagonist discovered that he/she was different from ordinary people. He/she was an intersex person, whose gender was difficult to distinguish, with one half being feminine and the other half masculine. The protagonist could see ghosts and inherited the mantle of his/her semi-immortal maternal grandmother. The protagonist realized that he/she was a girl but was different from ordinary girls. In terms of emotions, the protagonist has liked the male lead since childhood. However, if he/she undergoes surgery to become a real woman, his/her special abilities will be destroyed, which puts the protagonist in a dilemma. In addition to the supernatural elements, the story also includes the development of the emotional storyline. The plot is full of ups and downs and is novel. The foreshadowing is well-placed and the plot points are interlinked. Some readers commented that they felt a strong sense of immersion, and some were even moved to tears.
