When this eldest princess opens her eyes, she finds herself in a world a thousand years into the future. While she is still called "Princess", it's only a nasty jeer imparted on her as a mockery for her arrogant connections within the entertainment industry. So what if you were rich? In the end you've fallen to a status far lower than any beast! In response, Xia Wanyuan promises that a day would come when they will sincerely call her Princess. Everyone laughs at her, waiting to see the day when she'll be abandoned by the wealthy and affluent.

As an all-knowing professor in both literature and poetry, she is also a professor in two departments at the most renowned institute of higher learning. The Olympics?

Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life

Lin Wanwan slips a jade bracelet onto her wrist—and steps between two worlds. Side A: neon lights, 5G, instant ramen, MRI machines—an age of abundance where food is fast and friendships sometimes slow. Side B: Tang-dynasty sunshine, cracked earth, locust clouds, emperors who ask villagers to skip meals so soldiers can march. A “golden age” that growls with hunger. Lin has no grand plan—only a wish: let the little bean who waits for her at the gate eat his fill, let the gray-haired elders who calls her “treasure” sleep without fear of famine. Lin Wanwan wants to bring small changes to the world she loves, so the family she cherishes can live a little better, then a little better still—because "I has finally found the place that calls my home."

This is a rebirth novel with a fresh take, horror and magical elements. The way the story is written makes the horror situation easy going. Those who aren't not too scared by horror, and don't try to visualize the horror descriptions, can enjoy it. Yes, it's actually enjoyable coz the horror doesn't take too much time like in movies when it appears. There's also comedy for good laugh throughout. It can be compared to special abilities of the FL in transmigration novels but in modern day setting.

The angel who seeks justice

[The main character is single. The female lead is used because the story needs it.] What was justice? Was justice only about judging demons? Was justice supposed to be as high as a god, ignoring the death of mortals? Was justice supposed to eliminate all evil and pass judgment without any emotion? Or was justice the principle of fairness, the moral code that governed people? No, the justice in my heart is noble. It's a light that everyone follows. It's hope. It's a light that can illuminate the path of all those who are in darkness. "Anyway, don't ask me, because my heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just."
