No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!

In her pursuit of saving enough money to return home, Hannah found herself playing the role of the "first-love" character in a beloved novel. Originally, this character was a typical stand-in supporting actress, taking on various substitutes for the female lead as dictated by the male protagonists, such as donating kidneys or sparing road for the female lead, which she all agreed. Eventually, the original character succumbed to the pressure, turning dark and meeting a tragic demise with a disfigured face on the streets after being killed by the male protagonists. Hannah's task was to follow this grim plotline and achieve the tragic story's intended outcome. However, in the eyes of George River, she was merely a substitute he had enlisted—an entity dependent on him. When his true love returned, he callously abandoned the woman who deeply loved him. Later, he regretted his decision, only to discover that the once-begging woman was now surrounded by various exceptional men. The individuals who had previously used her as a shield—the movie king, the ambitious young actor who climbed over her for his ideal goddess, and the president who regretted his actions upon regaining his memory—all found themselves humbly pleading for her affection: "Hannah, the one I love is you." Confused by the sudden turn of events, Hannah observed her bank account steadily growing and stumbled upon a newfound skill for crafting tragic stories. As the main antagonist who successfully survived until the end of the story, Arnold Simmons was ruthless, dark, and violent. In his eyes, Hannah appeared to be the most naive woman he had ever encountered, her thoughts consumed solely by love. Witnessing her continuous deception by those around her, Arnold eventually reached a breaking point and seized her, declaring, "Stay by my side; let me handle your tasks." [A seemingly fragile flower with an inner strength, Daughter of the Sea, crosses paths with an obsessed, dark, and sinister antagonist who contemplates disrupting the pond of bred fish every day.]

Defy The Alpha(s)

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

Shen Yu watched as the little wolfhound became a violent regent and planned to run away, but was tied up. It turned out that Ye Qinghan already knew that she was a woman and had been pretending in front of her every day! * Shen Yu was forced to transmigrate into the book, and she was also a little cannon fodder who was tortured to death by the main character? She sneered. It was either you die or I die. Just as she wanted to kill the main character first, she sadly realized that their lives were tied together. If she couldn't kill him, she could only coax him. She still had to raise him. However, as she raised him, she realized that the way the little wolfhound looked at her was getting more and more strange… (Sweet pet, the female lead looks soft on the surface but is actually very fierce, the beautiful and strong male lead is black-bellied and strong.)

I'm a villain, I'm evil

Pure Evil Villain Female Lead *"True, Good, and Beautiful" Green Tea Male Supporting Actor (cannon fodder) [New Year's Eve/Not Pure Ancient Words/Sweet Pet/Scum Abuser/1v1SC/Black Plains Male and Female Lead/Female Lead's Vicious Villain] Mo Lian, who was heavily injured and unconscious, had a dream. In the dream, the world was a huge and thick book of words. All the order revolved around the male and female protagonists, and she was the strongest villain here. In the end…she died an unnatural death. Since he was a villain and knew his ending, how could he be a qualified vicious villain if he did not change it? She would definitely crush anyone who tried to stop her from living in the future. * Zi Sangyue and Mo Lian were two extremes. If Mo Lian was said to be a poisonous snake born under the Buddha, dark, vicious, and cunning, then Zi Sangyue was a god who was born to give hope and warmth to all living beings. Viper wanted to make the gods remember her kindness for the rest of their lives, but the gods fell. Zi Sangyue had once sworn not to kill anyone, but he had broken his vows and killed many people for Mo Lian. "Didn't you say you'd rather die than hurt people?" I thought you would come up and block the knife for me. However…the current situation is very interesting." Zi Sangyue stared at the poisonous snake that had trapped him. She smiled gently."My wife doesn't want me to get hurt. They want to hurt my beloved wife, so this is the only way." Mo Lian thought,…Alright, but since when did he become so familiar with calling her "Madam"? [It's not purely an ancient saying. In the later stages, it will involve the Reincarnation Demon God. This male protagonist is still a god, in charge of reincarnation!] [Male Lead: Zi Sangyue (Ghavan)]
