Once upon a time-travel leap, Mu Caiwei, the gold-medal bodyguard, turned into a poor peasant girl, Mu Caiwei, who starved to death. With nothing to their name, and an empty rice vat, facing a skinny, malnourished mother and a bunch of hungry younger siblings, Mu Caiwei rolled up her sleeves and shouted, "Sister's going to get rich!" Although she had followed a proud and aloof path in her past life, times were now different. At the small stall, Mu Caiwei donned an apron, zealously crying out, "Fried skewers, fried skewers, all kinds of fried skewers…” In the fabric store, Mu Caiwei expertly worked the abacus, "This Q version of damask should be sold for fifty taels of silver a piece…” …… Soon, the people of the Great Jin Nation knew that the richest person in the Great Jin was not only a stunning, young girl, but also a generous and philanthropic individual! Mu Caiwei couldn't dream that she received a miracle — a magical space, by simply carrying out a few random acts of charity! She also received an extremely “embarrassing” — predestined marriage! In a nutshell: The stunning transition from poverty-stricken peasant girl to Empress! I'm not good with summaries, so please move on to the main text.

Traversing the Nine Provinces in the Immortal Cultivation World, Lu Yuan possessed the Dao Fruit of longevity, an eternal lifespan. If he were careful, he could anticipate the Immortal Method. This was indeed a beautiful thing. However, he was born during the Age of Dharma Decline, with spiritual energy depleted and the Immortal Method difficult. The great path was elusive. Even worse, the Immortal Cultivation World of the Nine Provinces was on the verge of collapse, and the four poles were about to fall, marking the end of an era. If that was the case, why shouldn't a man take up his sword and conquer fifty states across the mountains?

He brought order to the Nine Provinces and peace to the four seas. Gathering strength from across the world, he ascended to immortality step by step.

       Izime finally grew to appreciate Psyis' ability to not ask stupid questions for five minutes, wondering if she'd manage a sixth. The probability of it dropping rapidly as yet another cup of the very drinkable and thus very dangerous liquor was thrown back all at once.        Purple face turning towards him as circling shades of blue worked across Psyis cheeks she opened her mouth and fell short at five minutes and twenty-three seconds, "I-um..did you ever go to the movies?"        Izime stood moving to snatch the cup away, or he would have. His hand flickered as it passed through the metal, his eyes glared moving between the thermos and the obviously inebriated Psyis. "That is enough drinking for you." With a frustrated huff, Izime stood walking straight through the pilot's seat and door to the cabin of the ship. Leaving Psyis blinking eyes not working, unable to see the drone that voiced the AI as it bumped against the door just as confused as she was.        Psyis too drunk to think about just what she'd been asking and about who. The thessian's personal question still hung in the air as she considered how often Izime seemed to not answer when it came to her.        "What'd I say?" Psyis looked around the now empty room, a bit past tipsy in her rush to find the courage to discover Izime's past. Blinking a bit wondering what had been wrong with talking about Bell or going to the movies.        The number of cups and direction she'd yanked the conversation quickly burying Psyis under their combined effects. The thessian was left sitting alone and a bit confused, only knowing that something beyond the liquor in her hands was the cause.  Hadn't Izime been the one who'd asked for the mulligan?        Glancing down at the thermos in her hands, Psyis chewed over the thought and all that came with it. The liquor not having any answers, she looked back out the window. ((Posted on www.webnovel.com , www.booksie.com and royal road where I update sooner with larger chapters.

Between the howls and wails, the screams and cries of women being raped, and the villagers being eaten and butchered like cattle, there was a middle-aged man who was desperately running away while yelling his lungs out. ''Why.... WHY!!! YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKERS!!!'' His clothes were in tatters and marred in blood, with his body being barely able to function. His state was simply beyond recognition. As for where he was running to... It didn't matter... He just wanted to flee the hellish scene that was unfolding behind him. His remote village, the one he had lived in his entire life, was now a fiery beacon illuminating the night. ''Whyyyyy areeeeeee youuuuuuuuuu runninnnnnnnnnnng awwaaayyyy froooooom usssssssss?'' Terrifying low growls and voices could be perceived behind him, and every time he heard them, his body released adrenaline to try to override its limits, but to no avail as his injuries were just too severe. The humanoid creatures pursuing him were like shadows, barely distinguishable through the cover of the night. Their eyes, akin to black holes, were fixed on their prey as it struggled for its pathetic life. Their faint and sinister giggles kept reverberating through the darkness... *** As blood rushed up his throat and leaked at the corners of his mouth, his sinister appearance aggravated to where he resembled a devil. During his maniacal laugh, his punctured lungs had finally given out, causing his whole body to collapse on the ground and dyeing it a scarlet shade. His mind went blank, while his consciousness left his battered body. *** After what appeared to be a few minutes, he suddenly woke up. He was startled at first, but he soon realized that he had indeed died. Everything around him was black, without an ounce of life in sight. He was basically a spirit floating in the absolute void. ''So this is what happens when you die... You just drift in darkness... That's actually underwhelming. I wonder if I'll just fade away'' When Derrick's thoughts started to drift, a prompt appeared in front of him. [Welcome to System Nemesis, Derrick Tarlin] [Would you like to seek revenge? Yes/No]

Betrayed. Executed. Forgotten. Emilia Sylvester, the once-feared vampire queen, was dethroned by her husband, King Darius Lysander, for his sweet and seemingly innocent half-blood mistress after the victorious war. Locked in a dungeon for fifty years with her legs cut off, Emilia thought death would be her only release. But when she opens her eyes after the brutal execution, she’s back at that grand ball, the very night her husband demanded a divorce to marry the woman who ruined her. “Because of your callous attitude, our marriage is over. I intend to take Rosalia as my bride.” Divorce was rare in vampire society, especially among the royal bloodlines. For a prince to divorce his wife and take a hybrid vampire, a half-blood, as his queen? It was scandal of the highest order. But Emilia was no longer his obedient pawn. “If that is your will, my prince,” she said, her voice calm and composed, “then who am I to stand in your way?” This time, Emilia has no intention of fighting for a war that only brought her pain. Let the half-blood Rosalia and Darius deal with the backstabbing court and the weight of the vampire kind on the brink of chaos. Emilia has better plans. She’s done playing by anyone else’s rules. Walking away from the vampires and into the territory of the werewolves, Emilia discovers she’s far from powerless. As a former peace negotiator, she knows how to handle wolves, especially the dangerous alphas, but she never expected them to be so eager to handle her. This time, she won’t choose love anymore. Once is enough.
