Yan Xi was the eldest young lady of the Yan family, the head of Beiqiao City’s top four aristocratic families. Despite her astonishing talents, she was sick and destined to die young. She was an unattainable dream girl for many. She had a dream one day and dreamt that she was in a novel. In the novel, her father adopted a girl named Chen Xiangxiang who looked just like her to alleviate his pain of losing his wife, and soon his daughter. The girl was as docile as a deer and spending time with her was very therapeutic, which made her all the more lovable. This girl became her substitute, and after a series of heart-wrenching incidents, everyone —ranging from her father and her brother to her fiance and her friends— doted on this girl. Meanwhile, Yan Xi fought against the girl in every aspect, and she eventually became the evil second female lead. In the end, she was despised and hated by everyone. After having sulfuric acid splashed onto her face and ended up disfigured, she jumped from a building and fell to her death. After her death, she left a large inheritance which was inherited by the girl. Yan Xi, who used to not care about dying because she regretted not being able to save her mother, did not want to die anymore. She destroyed her dream girl script and decided to stay away from the lunatics around her. At the same time, she decided to live her life well with the intent of stopping anyone who lays their eyes on her assets while she reveals her hidden identities, one by one, and destroys the trash she encounters. During the process, she happened to protect a good-looking young man who was cold and upright. Turns out, he's a big boss with many hidden identities too?

Tang Li was speechless, thinking to herself that the Host must be crazy to want a gigolo instead of a CEO who has money, looks, and size! Eventually, everyone noticed in surprise that she gave up on the gigolo and started competing for the family inheritance. Not only had she accepted one impressive disciple after another, she kept hovering over her husband as well. "Darling, I think you're having indigestion, I made you warm soup." "Hold me, darling. I'm afraid of the thunder~" *** Unable to hold it any longer, the overbearing CEO undid his belt while saying dangerously, "Tang Li, you made me fall for you, and I'll have you know how deep is my love right now!" Tang Li (I just wanted a husband): "..." Listen here, darling...

She now became the villainess of the story! "I do not accept this!" Adeline yelled at the top of her lungs. "I will change the plot." The Crown Prince she rejected won't leave her alone. The cold Northern Duke clung to her and wouldn't let go. The Arch Mage wants to abandon his duties and serve as her personal knight, and the Head Priest is obsessed with her! The Male leads she wished to avoid won't leave her alone! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Obsessive male lead- check. Funny but strong female lead- check. Amazing family- check. Annoying Goddess- also check.

Ye Yun transmigrated into a fantasy world with no talent, no background, and no opportunities. After struggling for three years and facing expulsion from his sect, he finally activated the Life Script System. "So you claim to be the Chosen One, the Son of Destiny? Good, from now on all your opportunities belong to me!" "You say you're blessed with endless adventures and heaven-defying luck? Sorry, that's just an illusion—those fortunes now bear the surname Ye!" "You're the reincarnation of an Empress, a celestial maiden descended to earth? Cough, come to my room tonight... I need to verify your identity!" ... Years later, Ye Yun, now the Supreme Overlord, looked down upon all living beings while trampling gods across three realms, sighing emotionally: "What so-called 'fortune' did I ever have in this life? I merely had some... kind-hearted souls quietly supporting me all along!"

Synopsis: Axiom of the Ash-Bound Script ​"I do not follow destiny. I am the one who erases it." ​In a world governed by the Great Scroll, every human is born with their life story already written in divine ink. From the lowliest peasant to the highest emperor, no one can escape their scripted fate—except for Hao-Ran-Zhi. ​Born as the world's only Script-Burner, Hao-Ran-Zhi possesses the forbidden power to look upon the heavens and burn the words of destiny itself. With a single stroke of his Void-Bone Brush, he can erase a tragedy, delete a death, or vanish a kingdom. But the universe demands a heavy price: the "Black Ash" of every erased destiny must be absorbed into his own body, turning him into a "Monster" scarred by the sorrows of a thousand lives. ​ Follow the cold, devastatingly handsome Sovereign as he navigates the elegant courts and misty peaks of the Traditional Realms." His solitary path of ash is shattered when he encounters Yu-Xi-Amet, a woman whose golden script predicts a world-ending catastrophe. ​To save her, he must do the unthinkable: He will burn the Heavens' own book and rewrite the universe in his own image.

For eleven years, Ishaan Reed wrote a novel no one read— a world of labyrinths, monsters, and gods who toy with fate. Then the sky split open… and his forgotten story became reality. The “protagonist” he once created, Kael Arathis, now leads the charge—brilliant, powerful, and shining like a hero. Beside him, Ishaan should have been nothing more than a background character. Until a line appeared before his eyes: [Sentence: Ishaan Reed died here.] [Rewrite? Y/N] Now, reality itself is his manuscript. Every death, every defeat, every ending can be rewritten. To the gods, he is just another pawn. To Kael, he is a fraud stealing victories. But to Ishaan, this is the one story he refuses to abandon. Titles will be earned. Rules will be broken. And the script written by the gods… will be shattered. Can the Script Breaker survive until the final chapter—or will even his rewrites be erased?

The stone went out from under his foot. No sound, no dust, only a hollow where the step had been, and a cold behind his breastbone that never left. Wick Tanner is eleven and small for his age, and his hands are already going brown from the tan-pits. He was born in the Reek, the tannery slums at the bottom of the hill, and he was never meant to be anything more than his father. A tanner. Downwind of the city and downstream of it, beneath the notice of the grey academy tower that has stood over his whole life. Then he carries a load of hides up to Karthal. Four academy boys corner him on a stair in the dark, and the world stops being there under his foot. He falls. The boys look once at the hole that nothing could have made, and they run. It is not magic. Magic shapes the world. Whatever woke in Wick unmakes it. The scholars of Karthal spend their lives pulling the world apart to learn how it was built, and they would pull him apart the same way to learn how he is broken. They are not the only ones who would come looking. Older things have been waiting a long time for a power like his. So a tanner's boy who cannot control what he is and cannot hide it begins the one climb that keeps him alive. He goes up, out of the Reek, staying a step ahead of everyone who wants to cage him or cut him open. He does not know what woke in him on that stair. By the time he understands it, putting it back will no longer be a choice he has. A slow-burn progression fantasy. A weak-to-strong underdog in a grounded world where power is licensed, ranked, and rationed, and the lowborn get none of it. Magic that has to be earned, not handed over on a system screen. Close third person, and a mystery that widens with every arc.

Only chapter titles are available to read and to unlock. Editing chapters are under revision. Thank you! ^_^) ************ Not all villains are evil. Sometimes, their experiences and the way others treat them shape them into who they become. *********** In his first life, for reasons unknown, he was betrayed, framed, and stripped of his status as a noble. Branded a "traitor"—or worse, a "villain"—he was condemned by the very world he once belonged to. As he faced execution and prepared to meet his end, an unknown entity known only as the [System] suddenly appeared before him. It offered him a chance to become a Dimensional Traveler, a being capable of traversing different worldlines and carrying out various tasks across countless worlds. The [System] also promised to fulfill his greatest desire should he agree to bind himself to it. With no other choice, he accepted. After millennia of transmigration, however, the [System] unexpectedly gave him a new directive. To return. To return to the very life he had long since forsaken. And so, he was reincarnated once more into his first life— As the "Villainous" Third Young Master of the Marquis Chevalier Household of the Stellarus Empire. *********
