Has the tyrant's gorgeous beauty turned black?

Du Zhiruo didn't know until he died that he was just a character living in a sadistic book. It was because of Bai Yueguang's early tragic death that the paranoid tyrant couldn't forget. However, she was already dead. What was ridiculous was that someone told her that she had put it on wrongly and had to put it on again. The script that truly belonged to her should be that vile, vile, and vile supporting actress who was greedy for vanity and could not get what she wanted! What the hell was this? She had been arrogant all her life and was not even afraid of death. In the end, she was going to be beaten into dust after being reborn? How could this be! So what if she was a vicious supporting actress? Want her to follow the script? That was impossible, impossible in this lifetime! This time, not only did she want to rewrite her own life, but she also wanted to rewrite the ending of the entire story! * The sadistic female protagonist who hated her the most was her strongest support. The cold-hearted second male lead who despised her the most was her best ally. Even the tyrant who had never looked at her in the eye would become her tool, change his tyrant habits, and become a wise monarch. She was the one and only gorgeous beauty in the book. She could go to the battlefield, take the head of the general among the tens of thousands of troops, and intimidate the barbarians in all directions. She could dominate the world, turn the tide, and turn the rotten into the magical. * Seeing that everything was developing in the direction she had expected, she wanted to retire successfully, but she was once again pestered by the tyrant who had turned over a new leaf. She carried the small bag that was ready to run away and said,"If you come any closer, I'll kill you!" In the end, he straightened his neck and smiled even more sinisterly than she did, thinking,'I've washed myself clean. Kill me!' Don't worry, I won't let you off even if you become a ghost! Don't even think about escaping in this lifetime!

When such a person transmigrated to a modern civilized society, Zhao Miao felt the pressure of employment for the first time in his life. But it didn't matter. It wasn't a big problem. It was just a small scene. Why are there cameras everywhere? Then why not be a martial arts sparring partner? What, do you need all the documents? It would be best if it was a certificate issued by the state? Then I'll Baidu the Assassin's League and get back to my old job, right? It wasn't easy to find one, but it was all cosplay? Zhao Miao finally felt a headache. If she really couldn't do it, she could only use the trick that all women had since ancient times. That was to find an honest man to marry. Ye Zhizhen felt a chill on his back. He kept feeling that a big pot was coming from a very far place and was about to accurately hit his head. So, when could he let the woman who had escaped from the mental hospital travel back to his own era? Wait a minute, why is this psychopath getting cuter and cuter the more I look at him?

Loyal dog boyfriend, arrogant and wild

Lu Yiliang's biggest hobby was An Zhouwan. He only liked An Zhouwan and had liked her since university. "The world is big, but An Zhouwan is the most important." He once said to his best friend,"An Zhouwan is my life." He liked to say to others,"Food is the most important thing for the people, but I regard An Zhou's evening as the most important thing." Even though Lu Yiliang knew that he liked a thousand-year-old demon, even though he knew that An Zhouwan only treated him as her medicine, Lu Yiliang still loved him very much. The extent to which Lu Yiliang liked An Zhouwan could be summed up in three idioms-shameless, persistent, and devoted. In short, he had spent seven years chasing after his wife and spoiled her for a long time. After successfully wooing his wife, a certain man began to worry. " A human's lifespan is only a few decades, but you've ascended to become an immortal, so you can live forever." "Don't be afraid. I'll accompany you forever." The female immortal said gently. " But soon, I'll be old and yellow. You'll despise me." "Good-looking skins are the same, but interesting souls are one in a million. Don't worry, I like your soul." The female immortal smiled patiently. " But…" Lu Yiliang wanted to continue. " Shut up." An Zhouwan couldn't take it anymore." It's enough. I don't like trouble."
