shoko ieiri and geto

Shoko Kaoji follows a nineteen-year-old young man who rejects the very idea of human connection, viewing love, empathy, and grief as parasitic illusions imposed by society. Bitter, detached, and openly hostile, Shoko exists in emotional isolation, convinced that bonds only weaken those who cling to them. When his parents die in a sudden car accident, his lack of grief draws the attention of authorities—and something far less rational. Amid rain-soaked streets, interrogations, and an unsettling moment where death itself seems to linger, Shoko is forced into confrontation not with loss, but with the uncomfortable question of whether his emptiness is genuine indifference or a defense against something deeper. Blending psychological introspection with subtle supernatural tension, Shoko Kaoji explores isolation, denial, and the fragile boundary between emotional numbness and buried humanity.

[Irresistible MC + Farming & Entrepreneurship + Strong Female Lead + Cute Baby + Love Rivalry + Farming System + Male Competition] Deng Yuyuan wakes up to find she has transmigrated into a period novel about a "pampered group darling" — as the biological mother of the vicious female villain. The female villain has a biased grandmother, a mooching uncle and his family, a blindly filial father, and a spineless mother. She was a small-time thief as a child. As an adult, she committed every kind of evil — constantly framing the female lead — and ultimately met a miserable end. The female lead is the only daughter in another family, doted on by her older brothers. The villain targeted her out of pure jealousy. And now, Deng Yuyuan has become that villain's cowardly mother — and the villain herself is currently just an ugly, wrinkly-faced infant. The blindly filial father loves his wife, but gives all the good things to his own mother. He says to his starving wife and daughter: "Xiao Yuan, come drink some water. I specially heated it for you." Deng Yuyuan looks at her own bony frame and her tiny child — and decides to get a divorce. Goodbye, useless husband. She's going to raise this little cub with an abundance of money and love. No way she'll go astray this time. Lost one husband, gained a crowd of suitors. A beautiful sent-down youth coveted by many — she knows some self-defense and burns the midnight oil studying. With the reinstatement of the college entrance exams, she takes her child toward a much wider world. Riding the wave of the times, Deng Yuyuan works her way up to become a gaming tycoon and a cutting-edge scientist... Except — why are so many men fighting to be her cub's stepfather?
