The Girl I Used To Be

Haruki Tenma is the kind of boy no one ever notices twice. Calm, quiet, and a little too good at staying invisible. His only real passion? Capturing fleeting moments through the lens of his camera. Miyako Hanabira is the girl everyone notices. Loud, stylish, unpredictable and way out of Haruki’s league. She’s the type who goes viral without trying and laughs in the face of rules. To her, Haruki was just a "safe friend" the background guy with a good heart and no game. Until one accidental photo submission... turns into a national contest win. And that photo? A cosplay shot of Miyako so perfect, so romantic, it gets them entered into a government-sponsored symbolic youth marriage program. Now they’re **secretly married**. Legally? Yes. Emotionally? Absolutely not. Romantically? …Well, that’s complicated. To avoid a scandal, the two agree to fake nothing, feel nothing, and just wait it out until graduation. But as they share mornings, dinners, house chores, festivals, and after-practice walks under cherry blossoms—something fragile and real starts to bloom between them. They’re not dating. They’re just married. So why does it feel like love?

"In order to survive the future great war, we must take drastic measures. We need to summon warriors and train them before time runs out." By favorable vote of an exceptional world summit composed of kings, emperors, and ancient mages, millions of earthlings reincarnated into an alien, medieval world governed by swords and magic to save its prophesied doom. Chained to their rules, slaves of their whims, they forgot about their civilised lives. Was it a curse or the last blessing from their original world? However, one reincarnation failed to follow the summoning—an anomaly born in error… or by design. Thrust into a rotting house in a ghostly body, Adam found himself bound to a wailing baby: the body he should have reincarnated into. Confused and worried by the remarks of his snarky system about his heavily damaged soul, he began his years-long quest to recover his body. Armed with his mind, he'll educate the baby, watch him turn into a good youth, and weave relationships with this world's magical natives, learning their crafts and skills. However, the moment to choose loomed: Would he suffer as a ghost until he found an alternative that might not exist, or reclaim his life at the cost of the boy’s? He was far from imagining how dangerous this world full of possibilities could be, prompting him to question everything he knew... Including himself, his sanity, and the hands that intentionally blurred this world's history. ********************************************** Discord server: https://discord.gg/ubzzKM5wfp Note: The MC is not a supporting character or hidden master.

This awnsers one simple question: What if the protagonist didn't want to go to a new world for. change?

Tang Jiaxin was just a pampered bunny—literally. After being adopted by the cold yet secretly soft-hearted CEO Xu Jinyu as a child, she spent her days munching on carrots, rolling in flower beds, and unknowingly becoming the inspiration behind the world’s first anti-aging serum for animals. Her presence became the emotional core of YSHT (养生华堂), the newest expansion of the centuries-old luxury house Xuhuang (许凰), once perfumers to emperors. But when she suddenly wakes up as a human girl in his arms, everything changes—and so does she. What Jiaxin doesn’t remember is that this wasn’t an accident. It was intentional. In their past life, she died protecting him. This time, Xu Jinyu refused to lose her again. Using years of secret research, he engineered her transformation—extending her lifespan and creating the perfect formula to bring her back, even if she doesn't remember who he is. Now, with no memory of their past and a chaotic personality to boot, Jiaxin is working as his assistant in YSHT’s luxurious skincare empire—blissfully unaware of the emotional storm she’s stirring in her boss’s heart. As Jiaxin’s bubbly empathy wins over the public, she initiates reforms and generous donations, sparking an unexpected rise in YSHT’s influence in the stock market. But their growing success soon attracts enemies. The Western beauty houses, long-dominant in the global market, begin to feel threatened. Backed by government ties, they hit Xuhuang and YSHT with sanctions. Leading their counterattack is Eternal Spring (延春 / Yánchūn)—an ancient rival obsessed with unlocking eternal youth. And at the helm of it all? Wu Zhaoyuan, their charming CEO, who—despite no history with Jiaxin—feels fate has pulled him into her orbit. Two empires. One reincarnated girl engineered by love. And a silent war that threatens to rewrite the future of beauty, memory, and fate.

Behind the warm smile of a popular girl and the sharp gaze of a quiet transfer student, lies a piece of the past—long buried in silence. Aksa, a mysterious new student, just wants to get through his days at Hibiki High without standing out. He’s not the type to trust easily, nor is he looking for friends. But everything changes when he ends up sitting next to Artha—the brightest, most cheerful girl in school… who’s also hiding the deepest loneliness. Artha, the school’s shining star, keeps a secret she can’t even tell herself. As their accidental meeting slowly turns into something unexplainable, threads of the past begin to unravel—a dusty old book, a hidden basement, and an old photograph showing a truth that was never meant to be found. When family secrets begin to surface—that their parents were once secret agents involved in a brutal massacre under the orders of a cruel dictator—Aksa and Artha are forced to make a choice: follow the dark path laid out for them… or fight against the fate trying to tear them apart. But someone has been watching from the shadows. Zen Miyuki, a boy who lost everything because of their parents, now lives for one purpose only: revenge. Will the love between Aksa and Artha be strong enough to face the truth… or will it fall apart under the weight of a past they never asked for?

I didn’t grow up with chances. Just hard pavement, missed meals, sirens at night, and a cracked ceiling that leaked when it rained. My voice? Just noise to most people. Another kid talking big in a world that don’t listen. But then something changed. A screen popped up. A voice came through. Not from a phone, not from a speaker, from somewhere deeper. A system. A mission. A path I never asked for, but maybe always needed. Now every line I spit hits harder. Every verse sharpens me. Every crowd I face feels like another boss battle. My pain? It’s fuel. My trauma? It’s data. My voice? Finally, it’s got weight. I’m hungry. I want this. But this world don’t give without taking. People who used to ride with me are falling back. Love’s starting to feel like a trap. Labels flash checks with strings I can’t see. Enemies? They’re not just on the outside. This system might make me a legend. But if I’m not careful, it’ll make me lose everything else. So the question is… how far am I willing to go to become the greatest rapper alive?
