All he wanted was to drive home and speedrun the game before the DLC dropped. Then came the crash, a warm light, and nothing—until he woke up as Wolfgang, a poor knight from a minor noble family in the Holy Roman Empire. He thought he knew this world. However, once a butterfly flaps its wings, no one can predict where the storm will go; this world doesn't follow the game's script. Nobles plot in the dark, and being the smartest person in the room means nothing when steel decides the argument. To survive the filth and chaos of medieval life, he has no choice but to lean on a mysterious system that hands him quests, money, and access to a shop packed with skills, manuals, and items he could never have gotten otherwise. He refuses to just stand by and watch history be written without him. With modern knowledge, he will use every resource, building a loyal army, amassing wealth, and carving out the strongest empire ever with his own hands.

Tudo o que ele queria era dirigir para casa e fazer um speedrun do jogo antes que a DLC fosse lançada. Então veio a batida, uma luz quente e nada—até ele acordar como Wolfgang, um cavaleiro pobre de uma família nobre menor no Sacro Império Romano. Ele achava que conhecia este mundo. No entanto, uma vez que uma borboleta bate as asas, ninguém pode prever para onde a tempestade irá; este mundo não segue o roteiro do jogo. Nobres conspiram nas sombras, e ser a pessoa mais inteligente da sala não significa nada quando o aço decide a discussão. Para sobreviver à imundície e ao caos da vida medieval, ele não tem escolha a não ser confiar em um Sistema misterioso que lhe entrega missões, dinheiro e acesso a uma loja repleta de habilidades, manuais e itens que ele nunca poderia ter conseguido de outra forma. Ele se recusa a apenas ficar parado e assistir à história ser escrita sem ele. Com conhecimento moderno, ele usará todos os recursos, construindo um exército leal, acumulando riqueza, e construindo o império mais forte de todos os tempos com suas próprias mãos.

Sin embargo, una vez que una mariposa bate sus alas, nadie puede predecir hacia dónde se dirigirá la tormenta; este mundo no sigue el guion del juego. Los nobles conspiran en la oscuridad, y ser la persona más inteligente de la sala no significa nada cuando el acero zanja la discusión. Para sobrevivir a la inmundicia y el caos de la vida medieval, no tiene más remedio que apoyarse en un misterioso sistema que le da misiones, dinero y acceso a una tienda repleta de habilidades, manuales y objetos que de otro modo nunca podría haber conseguido. Se niega a quedarse de brazos cruzados y ver cómo se escribe la historia sin él. Con sus conocimientos modernos, usará todos los recursos, construirá un ejército leal, acumulará riquezas y forjará el imperio más fuerte de la historia con sus propias manos.

Before marrying Silas, Joyce had only met him three times. A marriage of convenience, a secret agreement, for a term of three years. She's fresh off a heartbreak — the man she chased for years told her they "weren't a good match." Silas has his own baggage: rumor says he's still hung up on a white moonlight who happens to look just like Joyce. So that's all she is. A substitute. ** In the second year of their marriage, on Joyce's birthday, she drank too much and, in front of everyone, tugged on his tie, pinning him underneath her: "You look... a lot like my husband." The Thorne family's second master, known for being rational and unfeeling, was flustered by her that night. He leaned in close to her ear and coaxed in a low voice, "Be good." The next day Joyce woke up to find her lips were swollen. This… Who did this! When she went to question him, she discovered Silas's lip was bitten. He stared at her and said slowly, "You crossed the line first." ** The scandal leaked. At a party, her ex-boyfriend stepped in: "She's mine. Who dares talk?" Then Silas walked in. The room went silent. "Yours? Since when?" "Joyce, tell me. Whose are you?" So much for the secret marriage. So much for being a substitute. This was supposed to be fake… wasn't it?

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
