Thou Must Live Die And Know

Qiao Nian lebte 18 Jahre lang im Haus der Familie Qiao, bevor ihre leiblichen Eltern sie fanden. Plötzlich wussten alle wohlhabenden Familien der Stadt, dass die Familie Qiao eine falsche Tochter hatte! Eine echte Tochter einer wohlhabenden Familie wäre begabt, sanft und freundlich. Eine falsche Tochter wäre nicht in der Lage, irgendwelche Fähigkeiten zu erlernen und nichts zu erreichen. Jeder wollte sehen, wie unglücklich sie werden würde, wenn sie in ihre Schlucht zurückkehrte, nachdem sie aus einer reichen Familie hinausgeworfen worden war! Qiao Nian dachte auch, dass ihre leiblichen Eltern arme Lehrer aus dem Kreis Luohe waren. Wer wusste schon, dass ihr Bruder einen Phaeton fuhr, der dreihunderttausend Yuan wert war! Ihr leiblicher Vater war auch ein Professor, der an der Tsinghua-Universität lehrte! Der Big Boss der Familie von Abschaum wurde zum Schleimer und verbeugte sich vor ihrem Großvater... Qiao Nian war verblüfft. Ähm... das war nicht dasselbe wie ein Ja zu sagen! Nachdem sie sich von der Familie des Abschaums befreit hatte, konnte Qiao Nian sie selbst sein. Sie war die beste Schülerin in der College-Aufnahmeprüfung, ein Live-Sendestar und die Erbin eines unschätzbaren Kulturerbes... Ihre Identität wurde aufgedeckt, und als sie in den Suchanzeigen der Stadt auftauchte, wurde die Familie des Abschaums grün. Die Anti-Fans spotteten: Was soll der Versuch, ein Bild zu fälschen? Hältst du dich nicht einfach jeden Tag an meinen Bruder? Qiao Nian antwortete: Es tut mir leid, aber ich habe bereits ein Spiel. Oberster Bruder: @Qiao Nian. Ich möchte sie allen vorstellen. Das ist meine Schwester. Wohlhabender Großvater: Meine liebe Enkelin, warum arbeitest du so hart? Wenn du ein Fahrrad willst, wird Großvater es dir kaufen! Die Reichen und Mächtigen in Peking verbreiteten das Gerücht, dass Meister Wang in seinem luxuriösen Haus eine Frau versteckte. Egal, wie sehr die Leute versuchten, ihn zu überreden, er ging nie mit ihr aus, um jemanden zu treffen. Wenn man ihn fragte, sagte er immer denselben Satz. "Meine Frau kommt vom Land und ist schüchtern." Bis eines Tages jemand sah, wie der edle und kalte Meister Wang die schlanke Taille eines Mädchens umklammerte, sich in einer Mauerecke versteckte und mit roten Augen murmelte. "Baby, wann wirst du mir einen Titel geben?" [Falsche Tochter, die aus einer wirklich reichen Familie stammt] + [Zwei große Bosse]

The Earth was torn apart, reshaped into an endless dungeon—a brutal labyrinth of blood-soaked corridors, twisted monsters, and stages that grow more terrifying with every level. The rules of survival have changed: gather coins, and use them to buy anything you desire. Power, safety, even happiness—everything has a price. For Lex, there’s only one thing he craves: death. But in this world, where coins can buy anything, even that is out of reach. Cursed with the power "Die to Begin," every time Lex dies, he's resurrected at the start, trapped in an endless loop of survival and torment. All he wants is enough coins to finally purchase the one thing that he had been seeking for countless lifetimes—an end. In this nightmare, where money can truly buy anything, Lex will sacrifice everything, even his humanity, just to escape the endless suffering. -------------------------------- If you'd like to support me, here's my patreon :) https://www.patreon.com/c/HYLP

I’m a proud NEET who’s devoured every romance novel, manga, webtoon, and otome game out there. Just when I thought I’d conquered it all, a black bunny appeared in my dream. “Congrats! You’ve been chosen to help villains win across multiple worlds!” “Like a game?” “Uh . . . sure.” “Great, I’m in!” And just like that, I became an agent of the Villain System. Time to rewrite some happily-ever-afters—villain style. **[NOTE!]** This novel features multiple short arcs, each exploring different tropes such as ancient China, the modern world, beasts, werewolves, vampires, fantasy, school romance, idol groups—you name it! The twist? Each arc focuses on our MC making the villain (male) triumph over the male and female leads. The story is written primarily in 2nd and 3rd person POV for a dynamic and immersive experience. || Excerpt || [WARNING! MATURE Content Ahead!] “Then serve me . . . properly.” The command was both sensual and authoritative, and Xue Li’s pulse quickened under his intense gaze. The air between them grew heavy, her trembling hands faltering as she began to run the sponge across his chest, her touch featherlight against his scars. “Y-yes your majesty.” Xue Li’s hand trembled slightly as she dipped the towel into the warm, fragrant water, her breath catching as she squeezed it out over Han Feng’s shoulders. The water cascaded down his chiseled frame, tracing every ridge and contour of his muscles. She swallowed hard, focusing intently on her task, though her heart raced like a drum in her chest. She began at his shoulders, her touch gentle as the towel glided over his skin. His scars, a mix of old battles and untold stories, caught her attention, and she hesitated for a brief moment before continuing. The warmth of the water mixed with the heat radiating from his body, and the intimacy of the moment sent a shiver up her spine. Han Feng leaned back slightly, watching her through half-lidded eyes, his expression unreadable. “Slower,” he murmured, his voice a low rumble that made her pulse skip. Xue Li obeyed, her movements becoming more deliberate as she ran the sponge across his chest, down the defined lines of his abdomen. Each stroke felt unbearably sensual, her fingers brushing his skin as she worked. She tried to maintain her composure, but the proximity to him, the sheer physicality of his presence, made her feel as though the air had thickened. When she reached his arms, he extended one lazily, letting her clean him as though it were his divine right. Her hand moved carefully, trailing down his forearm to his wrist, her touch so soft it almost tickled. Han Feng’s silence was oppressive yet charged, the pressure of his gaze pinning her in place. As she lowered the sponge to his torso again, her hand faltered briefly near the sharp line of his hipbone. The water ran over his skin like liquid fire, and her breath hitched when she noticed the slight curve of his lips, a hint of satisfaction playing there. “You’re trembling,” he said, his voice velvet smooth, making her flinch. “I-It’s the steam, Your Majesty,” she stammered, though she knew it was a poor excuse. Han Feng chuckled softly, the sound deep and rich. “Hmm . . . Is that so? Then you have no problem cleaning my cock right?” Xue Li's eyes trembled, on the verge of tears, which seemed to please Han Feng. His smile grew wider as he urged her on. "Go on. You're going to serve me properly, aren't you?"

The game assistant certainly thought the latter. "Do as you wish, young adventurer. I only wish to add this. Do not come back with complaints when you realize you have made the wrong choice," the elf said, looking at him with clear hatred. "We will see about that," Alexander flatly replied. "I love challenges," he added. "Very well!" the elf harrumphed. "Have the adventure of your lifetime, as short as it will last," he sarcastically added. Ahead of him lies an uncertain path, filled with trials and hardships. But one thing is clear in his eyes.

Life of Kelt where he s

In the gleaming city of Tevnim, where futuristic technology meets the echoes of lost kingdoms, four friends make a discovery that will alter their lives forever. Buried beneath centuries of rubble lies an ancient artifact, its dormant power humming with the secrets of a bygone era. When the friends awaken its slumbering magic, they are catapulted 150 years into the past—landing just ten years before the Great War, the conflict that will redefine the fate of magic itself. Awakening in the bodies of the Four Knights of the Elements, the friends are thrust into the troubled Kingdom of Crniu, standing on the brink of conflict. They must navigate this world as: Gigi, a brilliant artifact researcher, now inhabits the body of the enigmatic Knight, Lady Morgana Valtoris. Borton, a master sharpshooter, becomes the stoic Knight of Ice, Sir Caelan Frostfall. Devena, an innovative chemist, awakens as the fiery Knight of Flames, Lady Seraphina Ignis. Spike, a battle-hardened soldier, assumes the role of the ferocious Knight of Earth, Sir Fenir Wilborne. But all is not as it seems. The knights they’ve become are seen as cursed failures—outcasts believed to be the downfall of Crniu’s noble order. Branded with the mark of “Thou Shall Kill,” the friends are trapped in a prophecy that foretells betrayal and bloodshed, knowing they have just ten years before the war erupts. With each day that passes, they struggle to wield powers they barely comprehend and decide how far they’re willing to go to prevent the tragedy they know is coming. In a world where every choice can alter history, one question haunts them: Will they rewrite the fate of magic and become the heroes history never knew, or will they seal their new hosts' legacies as the failures that doomed an entire era?
