Lin Wan transmigrated into a book and became the stepmother of the male lead. Her husband was an undisputed big shot in commerce and was cold, decisive, and ruthless. Her stepsons were each more eccentric and difficult than the other... until they took part in a variety show as a family. Five families were competing, each of which was perfectly harmonious...

Netizens were flaming as they watched, but they soon noticed that the control group was changing... Even though the eldest son insisted that he disliked his stepmother, he sneaked off to buy her a scarf! The second son declared his favorite person was his father but voted for his stepmother instead! The third son was also caught putting his stepmother's favorite candy below her pillow! The netizens were shocked, but it's true: the tsundere stepsons were extraordinarily close with their stepmother!

Yet, as endless waves of trouble crash around him, Alcel remains utterly unbothered, continuing his daily routine. Ironically, it is precisely this chilling indifference that drags him deep into a vortex of social distortions he never sought out. This is not a tale of self-discovery. Rather, it is a story of what happens when the search for meaning has already come to an end. GENRES: Literary Fiction, Psychological Drama, Philosophical Fiction, Slice of Life, Coming of Age, Mystery, Thriller. AUTHOR'S NOTE: It is highly recommended to read Zero Romantic as a companion piece to this story. STORY WIKI: https://one-photograph.fandom.com/wiki/One_Photograph_Wiki

Once, I was told, “Trust in Destiny, believe in what she tells you.” What a joke that turned out to be. Destiny has only ever brought ruin. Six full moons have passed since I lost everything—six moons that have come and gone, indifferent to my suffering. They leave me behind, walk past me as if I no longer exist, as if I’m already forgotten. I’ve disappointed them, failed them, and I am powerless to ask them to stay. Who knew a voice could give up on you so easily? It’s pitiful. I am pitiful. Once, I was loved by all, and in turn, I loved so deeply it hurt. That love is a distant memory now, a phantom pain that refuses to fade. I still love, though it only brings more pain, more regret. I pray, even now, for someone—anyone—to love me again, to love me so fiercely that I can forget the pain I caused my people. “Lilac eyes,” he murmurs, his voice barely audible over the pounding of my heart. “Your name is..." "Elayne."

In the world of Solomir, magic is ordinary, everyone is absurdly strong, and danger lurks around every corner. Into this chaos bursts a manic knight armed with a dented helm, a battered sword, and a tattered diary. He storms a violent, rowdy gang’s parlour, declaring that he will tell the story of his life though surviving the first five minutes of his lecture already proves he’s far from ordinary. As he alternates between recounting impossible adventures and violently training his new audience, chaos and hilarity erupt at every turn. Explosions, flying furniture, and absurd magic collide with brutal lessons in obedience, leaving the gang awestruck, terrified, and completely unprepared for what comes next. Maniac Knight Tells a Story is a darkly comic, epic fantasy full of mayhem, over-the-top heroics, and a world so ridiculous even its strongest inhabitants struggle to keep a straight face.
