"Asshole, you're hurting me, be gentler…" "Heh, don't you like it rough?" ... Most fatally, she was wearing only a thin spaghetti-strap nightgown, revealing large swathes of lovely scenery with her damp hair draped to one side, holding a feather duster in her hand… On the bed was a man with a hood on his head, his hands and feet bound, much like a slave.

Joshua Palmer had been a live-in son-in-law for three years. His wife called him a loser, his mother-in-law looked down on him, and his relatives didn't care about him.

Back then, others didn't treat me seriously. Today, I will make you regret it!

Lu Wu, an aimless video game developer, had been feeling perturbed ever since he found out he was the direct descendant of a king from the underworld. Other than the title, His Excellency, his ancestor hadn't passed down anything else to him. On top of that, all of his ancestor’s subordinates had rebelled against him and completely usurped his inherited territory. Under the circumstances, Lu Wu built a battle game server with the help of his new mysterious friend and transported gamers from the real world straight to the underworld using virtual reality. They then created the main quest, the character classes, the Instance Dungeon, the storyline, and the non-player characters for the game. Relying solely on these video gamers’ strengths, Lu Wu began his expedition to reclaim his rightful inheritance. What could possibly go wrong?

[Farming + Beast Taming + Uplifting Story] In an instant of transmigration, Qian Qi finds herself transformed into a despised scoundrel and a waste, attending Awakener University with a major in Magic Plant Study—a field so obscure it's almost laughable. Known as Magic·Obscure·Futile·Plant Study, it's a major that seems doomed to fail. But Qian Qi has other plans. Obscurity is fine, but poverty is not! Even in the most obscure major, she aims to embody the most thrilling persona, create the most potent magic potions, and make the most money! Qian Qi: "Ladies and gentlemen, take a look! A one-second Blood Stopping Magic Potion, only 998! Even King Yan would turn a blind eye when he sees you!" Crowd: "Stopping blood in one second? Are you boasting? Can a study laggard like you develop such a potion?" Qian Qi: "Of course! I personally slashed the principal, and even he said it works well!" Principal: "Is this the reason you slashed me?" Crowd: "????" Initially, Qian Qi only wanted to make some money with magic potions by farming. Unexpectedly, she accidentally turned the obscure and discriminated Magic Plant Department into the hottest major in the university. The teachers and students of the Magic Plant Department were tearfully grateful and hoped she would lead Magic Plant Study to greater heights. But then they discovered... We agreed to farm together, so why did you secretly go to tame beasts?! Qian Qi: "Oh, it's because the faculty and students of the Beast Taming Department were too enthusiastic." Beast Taming Department Dean: "Qian Qi is the only genius Beast Master who can lead Beast Masters into a new era!" Magic Plant Department Dean: "Nonsense! Qian Qi is clearly the first Magic Potion Master, and her magic potions will make history!" Qian Qi: "Stop arguing! Adults don't do multiple-choice questions. You can all have me~" All students of Awakener University know not to mess with Qian Qi without reason. This person is both poor and miserly, thick-skinned and shameless. If you're not careful, she will swindle all the money off you. Qian Qi: "That's a rumor! I'm a good person! They're all willing!"

I thought the masked stranger who fathered my son was a ghost of one reckless night. Then I walked into my new boss's office—and those ice-blue eyes found mine across the boardroom. Ivy Brooks only saw him once. One night. One mask. One underground auction that cost her everything—and gave her a son she'd die to protect. She never knew his name. Never saw his face. All she had were those piercing eyes behind black silk, a voice like gravel and velvet, and a secret she buried so deep she almost forgot it was there. For five years, she rebuilt her life from nothing—betrayed by her ex, abandoned by her family, raising her boy on stolen hours and stubborn hope. When she finally lands a legitimate job as Executive Assistant at Thorne Group, she thinks she's finally safe. Then she meets her new boss. Caleb Thorne. Billionaire CEO in a tailored suit. Don of the Thorne Syndicate in the shadows. A man who wears a different mask for every room he walks into—and the one who's been hunting her for five years. He doesn't recognize her face. But her eyes? Her scent? The way she flinches when he steps too close? He knows. And now that she's standing in his office—exposed, cornered, and carrying his secret—Caleb won't let her hide behind any mask. Not her professional armor. Not her single-mother walls. Not the lies that have kept them apart. He'll strip every layer until there's nothing left between them but skin, truth, and a fire neither of them ever put out.

[A Scheming Beauty Good at Flirting x a Domineering CEO, a Gentle Doctor, the Stoic Bigshot, and Twins; Male Leads Rivalry] Mia Grant stayed up all night reading a novel full of chaotic romance. Seeing an imprisonment scene in the book, she excitedly blurted out, "Please, protagonist! Let me in there to act for a couple of episodes!" After suddenly dying, she really did transmigrate into the novel, but not as the protagonist—rather, as the villainous side character. The original book didn't describe this character in detail, only mentioning that she was locked in a basement and starved to death for framing the protagonist. To survive, Mia Grant targeted the novel's several male leads and began her conquest. To the domineering CEO, she said with red-rimmed eyes, "Big Brother, the basement is so dark. Mia is so scared~" To the doctor, she cooed, "Second Brother, Mia’s chest hurts so much. Quick, have a listen." To the Stoic Bigshot, she looked innocent, "Mr. Keller, we’re in the same bed... My sister won’t be angry, will she?" To the aloof top student, she sobbed, "Am I just too stupid? I can’t compare to my sister at all!" To the puppy-dog-like boy, she blushed, "I didn’t come to watch you play! I-I was just passing by!" Having saved enough money, Mia Grant faked her death and escaped. Two months later, while she was on a tropical island flirting with eight male models, the System suddenly contacted her, "Host, I’ve finally established a connection with you! But can you tell me why all the male leads have gone mad? They even scattered your ashes into the sea!" "Forget it, you must go back and reduce their corruption levels! This world can still be saved!" "Not going." System: "A one-billion-dollar bonus!" Mia Grant whipped out her phone to contact a helicopter: "Yes, I need to leave the island. Immediately! Right now!"
