She was a heiress of a financial conglomerate, an intelligence prodigy since her childhood. At 20, she inherited the family business and swiftly carved out an empire in the business world that was astonishing to all, earning the title of "Miraculous Lady" known for her ruthlessness and cold-blooded nature! Such a legend, yet she perished in a bizarre car accident. She was 28 years old. It is said that at the scene of the accident, the corpses of a family of three were torn apart, too gruesome to behold. Rumors from the outside suggested that such cruel imagery could only result from a vendetta! ...... She was the daughter-in-law of a prestigious family in high society, but also the butt of its jokes. It was rumored that her husband was paralyzed from the waist down, and she had a 5-year-old son. There were also whispers that she was busty but brainless, accidentally killed a servant, and served a 3-year prison sentence. Worse still, it was said that her mother-in-law didn't love her, her sisters-in-law bullied her, and she was even thrown out of the house several times...... ...... By the decree of fate! When she became her! Her stunning black eyes narrowed into a fierce gaze, reborn from the ashes! ...... ...... In short, this story is about a prodigal businesswoman who, after being framed and reborn in the body of a downtrodden daughter-in-law of a powerful family, steadily cements her status and takes revenge on the scum, all the while finding love. This brief introduction is just to give you an idea (for reference only). The content is certainly not simple. My pit of a story is solid; feel free to take the plunge.

Jeanne tinha apenas 18 anos quando sua madrasta e meia-irmã a incriminaram e fizeram com que ela perdesse tudo. Ela foi expulsa de casa pelo pai por tentar resistir. 7 anos depois, Jeanne voltou em busca de vingança com um filho misterioso ao seu lado - George. As pessoas zombavam dela por ser mãe solteira e chamavam o filho dela de criança sem pai. “Quem você está chamando de criança sem pai? Você não vai gostar de me ver bravo,” ameaçou George. “Abaixe o facho, George! Não estrague a diversão! Eu ainda não me diverti o suficiente,” disse Jeanne, querendo aproveitar sua vingança, deixando o menino sem palavras. Jeanne conheceu mais tarde o famoso Quarto Mestre Swan em um baile de caridade. O homem de boa aparência e temperamento frio a chamou para um canto e disse: “Eu gosto de você.” Todos ficaram chocados, inclusive Jeanne. “Eu sou mãe solteira e tenho um filho. Tem certeza de que gosta de mim?” ela disse. “Eu na verdade... gosto do seu filho!” Todos ficaram chocados quando o Quarto Mestre Swan casou-se com Jeanne, mas apenas ele, astuto, sabia que havia conseguido não apenas um, mas dois, importantes jogadores para esse jogo de xadrez que ele estava jogando.

Jeanne n'avait que 18 ans lorsque sa belle-mère et sa demi-sœur l'ont encadrée et lui ont fait tout perdre. Elle a été jetée hors de la maison par son père pour avoir essayé de résister. 7 ans plus tard, Jeanne est revenue pour se venger avec un fils mystérieux à ses côtés : George. Les gens se moquaient d'elle pour être une mère célibataire et appelaient son fils un enfant sans père. «Qui appelez-vous un enfant sans père? Tu ne m'aimerais pas quand je suis en colère,» George a menacé. «Garde le profil bas, George! Ne gâche pas le plaisir !

Rayyan was no ordinary boy—he possessed a power unlike any other. Mysterious and quiet, he lived a life shrouded in secrets. One day, in a twist of fate, he kidnapped a girl named Daphne Catherine, unaware of the truth behind her identity. She wasn’t just any girl—she was Dee, the infamous master of the underground racing world. Dee had abandoned her past, hiding from the law as the police closed in on her illegal racing bureau. Determined to clear her name, she returned to the city to resolve the chaos she'd left behind. After the case was settled, she enrolled in university, eager to start over. There, she met Duke—a charming, attentive guy who helped her during a bout of fever. Slowly, she began to fall for him. They spent time together, often meeting at the cozy café where he worked part-time. But just when she thought she could trust again, Duke betrayed her. He took her to a place, unaware that she secretly owned it. The lies shattered her. Devastated, Dee returned to the racetrack, her old escape. But the race turned tragic—an accident left her in a coma for a month. When she finally opened her eyes, Rayyan was there. He confessed his feelings, the emotions he’d kept buried now pouring out. They argued often—Rayyan, normally quiet and distant, only ever opened up to her. Despite the tension, something sparked between them. Love, hesitant and tender, began to grow. Together, they began crossing off items from Dee’s bucket list, sharing laughs and stolen moments. But happiness was never meant to last. Tragedy struck again. In the chaos, Rayyan saved her, risking everything. He introduced her to his sister, letting her deeper into his guarded world, and then left the country for a series of high-stakes business deals. But when he returned, everything had changed. Dee was distant, cold. Without warning, she walked away, claiming she no longer wanted him in her life. The rejection broke Rayyan. Her absence consumed him, turning his quiet obsession into a dark spiral of despair. He was no longer the same. Now, with their love shattered and hearts in pieces—what happens next?

A slow-burn slice-of-life LitRPG with alchemy, reluctant heroism, and one overly enthusiastic pugilist. Aiden Hallowcreek wanted a quiet life—tucked away on a mountainside with nothing but bubbling potions, rare herbs, and his tiny water spirit Misty for company. Sure, his alchemy class isn’t flashy, and leveling up takes forever, but it’s peaceful. Predictable.  Dull. Then Jax, a fullblood wolf beastman martial artist with a love of booze and the subtlety of a landslide, crashes into his life looking for a guide—and maybe a friend. Now Aiden’s quiet routine is upended by fire ghosts, forgotten shrines, cryptic magic circles, and a creeping sense that maybe, just maybe, he was meant for more than backroom brewing. With a reluctant heart, a bag full of potions that may not even be enough, and a party forming whether he likes it or not, Aiden is about to learn that adventure doesn’t always come with a warning label—and neither does friendship. Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy, quirky party dynamics, and underdogs who'd rather nap than fight—until they don’t.

Riku Arata was your average overworked high school student—until he died in a tragic convenience store accident involving a truck and limited-edition Pocky. He wakes up in a new world as Richter von Eldegrast, a demon prince fated to be the final boss in an epic fantasy tale. The problem? He has zero interest in world domination, magical duels, or evil plots. His dream now? To open a cozy café and serve the perfect cappuccino. But escaping fate isn’t so easy. The elite magic academy thinks he’s plotting something dark. The Hero is his classmate and wants answers. His demon butler keeps handing him assassination plans. And the princess he’s destined to betray? She’s… oddly supportive? Armed with coffee beans, charm, and a refusal to be evil, Richter sets out to brew peace one cup at a time. But when fate keeps trying to drag him back into the villain role, can he still protect the café life he’s brewing?

My name is Shay. Just Shay. Every morning at five, I kick off my day like anyone else—cereal, eggs, or toast. Then comes the routine brushing session where I make it a point to avoid eye contact with the damn bogey in the mirror. Typical, right? I’ve got a roommate—a werewolf. We’re best friends and classmates, tackling school like it’s any normal day. After classes, I head to my job as a bartender at a nearby pub. It’s a cozy spot, where apart from your regular humans, other creatures also get together for a drink. Yep, vampires and shapeshifters have their pint nights too. Aside from these quirks, my life was relatively normal — until everything turned upside down. The peacefulness of the night seems to be over, the Fifth King is preparing for war — perhaps for world domination —, and common sense has evaporated somewhere along the way. Life was pretty standard, aside from the supernatural quirks, until it wasn’t. The peace of the night shattered, the Fifth King is gearing up for war—or maybe world domination—and somewhere along the way, logic took a vacation. Now, here I am, smack in the middle of this glorious mess, trying to figure out how I went from a normal guy to being tangled in what feels like the prelude to a world-ending saga.
