# 1V1 Yun Ran, mercenary queen of the apocalyptic world unexpectedly transmigrated into the ugly, stupid second lady of the Prime Minister’s mansion with two little adorable three-year-old kids. Adorable baby 1 was a genius poison doctor who had a photographic memory and was “unremarkable”.Adorable baby 2 awakened the ultimate spiritual root that only appeared once every thousand years. When he pounds the ground with his small fist, the ground would shake. As for her, she had a spatial pocket with treasures in it. She contracted an ancient divine beast and refined peerless divine pills!***Just as Yun Ran was gearing up to experience the joy of beating up scumbags…Can someone tell her why these few bigshots suddenly appeared before her?! The top tyrant: “I have a throne that you should inherit when you have the time.” The cold-blooded war god: “I think you have the talent to be a great general. Look at the millions of soldiers I have…” The best royal merchant: “Come, I’ll let you taste the joy of being the richest woman in the world.” Sinister state preceptor: “I’ll stab and curse whoever bullies you.” A certain ghost king traps her in his arms and snorts coldly, “Close the door and release the demons. No one should even think of coveting my treasure.” Yun Ran: “???”***Rumor has it that the ghost king, Mo Beiyuan, has a pair of ghostly eyes. He was born under the destructive lone star, was bad towards women and was the most messed up character in all five countries. Yun Ran not only messed with him, but also wormed her way into his heart.#He was once a demon in the darkness, but he was willing to step out of the abyss of hell for her.#

Jiang Xi, the warden of a mental asylum, transmigrated one day and became a girl from a farming village who had three engagements annulled and hanged herself three times. Jiang Xi: That's ridiculous!Jiang Xi was a psychic who could make predictions come true just by talking. If she claimed that someone's house would collapse, it would collapse the next day, even if it was structurally sound. In her previous life, her predictions were a little too real for her family. They were spooked by her abilities and left her at that asylum. She was unconcerned and adapted to life there like a duck to water. Though she managed to get promoted to warden after much difficulty, she suddenly transmigrated, and everything was suddenly the way it was before. She studied her leaking house and sighed to herself. Whatever. She would live life one day at a time, then.When her mother clumsily ruined the family's crops, Jiang Xi assured her: They would be fine tomorrow.Her mother wiped her tears and woke up the following day to check on the crops... only to find that the ruined sprouts were budding! During the dry season, Jiang Xi's father stared dolefully at the crops that looked like they were going to wither and die. Jiang Xi simply pursed her lips and said: There will be a downpour soon.Jiang Xi's father doubted her words. But three days later, a downpour came, and he looked just like a happy child.Everyone in the village began to call Jiang Xi a lucky star, and the village head was willing to yield his position to her so that she would lead the village to riches. Bachelors proposed to her and came to her house with generous gifts even though they used to scorn her, but a tanned, muscular man with rough facial features stood in their way before they could reach the Jiangs' house.Zhao Xiping pointed at Jiang Xi and declared loudly: My wife! Mine!

After transmigrating, Su Ying, Major General of the End Times War Troops, became a b*tch who conspired with a jerk to murder her husband. As soon as she transmigrated, she found herself stuck with two children and a handicapped husband who could end her life at any moment. Su Ying waved her hand dismissively. This was a piece of cake compared to the injuries she had dealt with on the battlefield. She had even suffered from not having food or water whilst being hunted down. This was a walk in a park. Su Ying had her own space for resources. She had meat in one hand and alcohol in the other. She'd kill every assassin who came her way. Not only was she able to heal her handicapped husband, but she also managed to raise her children well. She built a house and farmland around it. She eventually established her own civilization and empire. She was the queen of her own nation. Once her husband fully recovered, she helped him by clearing his name and getting back everything that belonged to him in Shangjing. She then tossed divorce papers on the table so that they could part ways and enjoy their own lives away from each other. He clenched his jaw. "Try getting a divorce if you dare!" Her two children wrapped their arms around her legs. "Mommy, don't you want your babies anymore?" Su Ying placed one hand on her forehead. Fine, I'll take them all!

# two-faced # followers After transmigrating, medical expert Gu Qingxue became a widow with three small babies waiting to be fed. Armed with a Miracle Doctor System, she used the needles in her hands to snatch people from the god of hell, raised the craziest children possible, and abused the scum of all scums! But, no one could have expected her to accidentally provoke a famous war god from the frontier region! The man had looks, money, and status. He pulled her back to his place to become his regent consort. Gu Qingxue told him frankly that she was already married and had children, so it was a no! But then… Who can tell her why all her children looked like him?! Her second baby, Xiao Daimao, faced his father and said to everyone, “My mommy is very knowledgeable, so why would we need a father?!” Her third baby, Xiao Mian’ao, would boast whenever he saw people, “My mommy has a beautiful, sweet voice. It’s enough that I have my mommy!” Only her eldest child was mature, remaining calm and unaffected. Then, her fourth child shouted, “Brother! Dad is climbing the walls again!” Her eldest child, who had been unruffled a moment ago, picked up a big stick and rushed out immediately. He would guard his mother till the end!

In her previous lifetime, Jiang Peihuan was set up by a jerk and died a terrible death. Not only that but even her entire family was annihilated. After becoming eighteen again, she was still the same proud woman who felt no lesser than any other man. Her fiance didn't want to marry her because he thought she was an embarrassment. He came over to call off the engagement and decided to marry her cousin instead. Everyone laughed at her, but she was pleased with the outcome. "Give me 100,000 taels of gold, and I will agree to it." After the wedding was called off, rumors that she was abandoned by her husband were spread in the capital city. Since she couldn't become a consort in Huainan, it'd be difficult for her to get married to anyone else. To everyone's surprise, a noble lord stepped forward. "What's wrong with marrying her?" The dreams of many young women were shattered, but Jiang Peihuan decisively turned the offer down. He was the jerk's uncle, a member of the royal family. He might seem like a noble person, but he had a cruel disposition in reality. She swore to exact revenge on her enemies from her past life and to protect her family. She wanted nothing to do with the royal family. However, one day, she still ended up becoming the lord's consort who was envied by all. By the time Jiang Peihuan realized what had happened, she fumed at the man who lay next to her. ""Xiao Nanye, did you trick me?"" Lord Xiao Nanye, who had always been decisive in his actions, couldn't help but laugh at the sight of his consort throwing a tantrum. He spoke to her in a soft voice, "Please forgive me. You're the only woman I want in this lifetime."

She took her family and escaped from the famine and started farming, practicing medicine, and doing business…She worked hard for a better tomorrow just to get a place to live in this strange era, so that she would have a stable life and be able to stand with dignity instead of kneeling and begging for her life. Unexpectedly, her crossdressing was so successful that her good name was spread everywhere in the new dynasty. Young Master in the Hou Manor: “Young Master Cheng is very talented. What he says casually are words that can rule the world. I must recommend him to the prince!” A senior official in the academy: “Little Cheng has a beautiful mind. He will make a name for himself once the examination reopens. If he can’t take first place, I’ll hit my head against the pillar and die.” The eldest daughter from the Prime Minister's Manor: “Doctor Sheng is a genius, but he’s a noble character and not interested in fame and fortune. I respect and love him. Even if we’re not fated to be together, I should still ask my cousin, the prince, to give him status.”Shili Pavilion’s Flower Queen: “If someone like you doesn’t wear white anymore, who else is worthy of wearing it? Do they treat you well in court?” An aggrieved sigh was her answer.***As for the prince, who was always only mentioned in the passing, had already stroked his chin in thought early on. Prince: “He’s my brother and confidant. Do I even need you guys to tell me about how great he is?” Cheng Ling: “...”

After an accidental rebirth, Qin Yi turned from the king of mercenaries into a wealthy, wasteful young man who everyone spurned. Qin Yi: “I was reborn as a man?!” Just when Qin Yi was so excited as she thought she could finally be a true man, she felt her chest a little tight. She looked down and realized… Oh, those were chest bindings. Qin Yi’s wish to be a real man was dashed, but the person she was reborn as pretended to be a man for special reasons. Qin Yi: “Great! This is something I’m familiar with!” Her classmates mocked her for being a sissy and unmanly, and Qin Yi easily turned it against them and said, “Come on, say it again!” When the teacher was being dodgy and said that Qin Yi couldn’t study well and that it would be difficult to be a capable person, Qin Yi slapped a test paper with full marks on the table and said, “Isn’t it just studying? What’s so hard about it?” “There is nothing in this world that can defeat the king of mercenaries!” Qin Yi built her career up slowly, from being a bullied kid, to a scholarly tyrant, to a Prince Charming highly sought after by thousands of people in the entertainment industry for both her looks and acting skills. She was flamboyant and reckless in public, taking both men and women into her arms and accidentally provoked Lan Baiyuan, the most powerful man in the country! When Lan Baiyuan confessed to Qin Yi one day, Qin Yi, who rarely lost her temper, shouted, “I’m a man! A man!” Lan Baiyuan smirked arrogantly, “So what?” Qin Yi: “...” Oh, so it turns out that the most powerful man in the country liked men. To get rid of getting involved with Lan Baiyuan, Qin Yi didn’t hesitate to expose herself, “I forgot to tell you. I’m actually a woman.” Lan Baiyuan smirked viciously. “I don’t care if you’re a man or a woman, as long as I’m on top.” He liked Qin Yi as a person. He didn’t care about her gender, he liked her anyway! But his position in bed will never change!

# 1V1 # PRETENDTOBEAFOOL Yun Ran, the Pavilion Master, was proficient in medicine, poison, and martial arts.

She married a man who was rumored to suffer from various conditions from head to toe. On their wedding night, Nangong Mo told her, “I’m blind, and I’ll have a short life. I don’t want a beautiful woman like you to make a mistake. You may divorce me and find someone else.”Yun Ran affectionately replied, “People often say that when a couple marries, there would be no doubt about their love. Since we’re married, we should stay together. I’ll accompany you till the last moment of your life.” However, Nangong Mo could hear her inner thoughts. Divorce? Why would I do that? I’ll stay at your house and spend your money. When you kick the bucket, I’ll dig a hole and bury you, then I’ll inherit the rest of your wealth and land. Isn’t that wonderful? Nangong Mo gritted his teeth and slowly said, “Heh… Very wonderful!”

# SCUM-TORTURING Zhao Jinxing was the only daughter of her family, but her father brought home a new sister for her after her maternal grandfather passed—only then did she find out that her seemingly soft-spoken father had an illegitimate child just a few months older than she was! And the instant she came to the Zhao family, she wanted everything Zhao Jinxing had, and their father told Zhao Jinxing to concede a little since half of what he had was her sister's, that she had suffered a lot. Zhao Jinxing agreed for appearance's sake, but as the same thing happened thrice, she shoved her sister lightly in refusal, only for her sister to fall down the stairs on her own movement and break her hand! Furious, their father threw Zhao Jinxing out to her maternal grandfather's grave so that she would reflect on her mistake, and told her that her sister was supposed to marry an ugly man, but now she couldn't with a broken hand, and Zhao Jinxing must take her place! "Dream on!" Zhao Jinxing resisted, but was left in the eerily silent graveyard. Just as she thought that she was homeless and had to marry some grotesque rich kid, a sinister man arrived at the graveyard—handsome and noble in appearance. It was obvious he was special. Zhao Jinxing immediately got an idea—so, she's supposed to marry? She will marry right now, and a handsome older man would still be better than some ugly! After getting their marriage certificates, Miss Zhao was now Mrs. Qin and moved to his luxurious mansion immediately! Her father, believing that Zhao Jinxing would behave after sufficient disciplining, came to the graveyard at midnight to get her, only to find thick snow and cold tombstones, and promptly panicked. He had no idea that she was now in her rich husband's arms and scheming on how to get back at them!

“I knew when I saw you the other night,” Jasper said, his voice tender, “that you were the one.” I blinked and my heart went crazy. “The one, what?” “I knew that you were my mate.” — Adele was told that she can’t bear a child. However, when her lab results come back ‘pregnant’, she’s torn between two potential fathers— her best friend who brought her to her room, or the hunky man she woke up next to. To top it off, her parents just made a deal to marry her to Red Moon Pack’s Alpha without her consent. She scrambles to handle everything while fighting hard to keep her baby. — I don’t know what compelled me to say it, maybe the heat running through me, maybe desire.

Tempting my mate was never a good thing. Before I knew it, he moved towards me faster than anything I had ever seen. His hand gripped the back of my neck as he brought my lips only inches from his.  “You’re playing with fire, Clara,” he whispered. I couldn’t help but smile, licking my bottom lip. “So burn me.” When Clara was young, war broke out over the moonstones—artifacts of incredible power. That war killed her family and scattered her pack, forcing them to live as rogues. Now, at long last, she will destroy the people behind it. But as her plan falls into place, she encounters a problem. Her worst enemy… is also her mate. Which will burn stronger—their passion, or the fires of revenge? “Clara, please…” He called out again.

# scumtorturing # rebirth She was a daughter of the general’s family and a gentle woman. She fell for Prince Ding and offered to be his wife. After supporting him for six years, she became his empress. After risking being a hostage in a foreign country, she returned five years later to find that she no longer had a place in his imperial harem. Lying in his arms, the new consort said with a sneer, “Sis, now that the country is stable, it’s time for you to die.” Her daughter died a tragic death and her son was removed as crown prince. The Shen family had been loyal, but they ended up being slaughtered. Shen Miao never thought that their marriage and mutual support all this while would end up being just an act Prince Ding put on! Prince Ding said, “On account that you’ve been with me for twenty years, I’ll allow you to die with your entire body intact. Now you may thank me and hang yourself to death.” Before she hung herself, Shen Miao made a resentful oath, “When I perish, I will haunt you day and night!” She was reborn as her fourteen year old self when the tragedies had yet to occur and her family was still intact. She was still the delicate and elegant daughter of a general’s family. Her relatives were evil, her cousin sisters were vicious and ruthless, and her aunties were eyeing her possessions. She had to protect her family, take revenge, and get back what belonged to her. In this life, she would be the last one standing! However, the Xie family’s young marquis, an unruly youth, pushed her up against the wall and said arrogantly, “Remember, the world belongs to you, and you belong to me!” The thirteen cities of You State… belong to you. The city of Dingyuan in Mobei… belongs to you. Yuzhou by the Yangtze River, the East Sea of Dingxi, the Green Lake of Lin’an, and Luoyang City… they all belong to you. If they all belong to me, what will you take, Xie Jingxing? Hmm… you. At first, he said impassively, “There has always been a clear distinction between the Shen and Xie family. For the Shen family’s daughter to suddenly show us goodwill, she must have ill intentions!” Then, he said calmly, “We're all on the same boat. Shen Miao, behave yourself. Who would have the audacity to force you into a marriage while I’m around?” After that, he said proudly, “Overthrowing an empire isn’t that hard. My dear, how shall we divide this great piece of land?” Finally, he waved his hand domineeringly. “Sweetheart, dividing them is too much work. Forget it! They’re all yours, and you are mine!” Shen Miao yelled, “Get out!” A domineering empress who was reborn and a young delinquent marquis. Both leads are righteous and they dote on each other.

Or will their kingdoms fall into war and ruin, dragging their budding love down with it? — [Excerpt] When the guards declared the groom's entrance, everyone's attention turned to the door. I felt a hammer on my chest. Here comes the barbarian, I thought. I was looking away, lowering my gaze. The man entered the wedding hall. I felt like my intestine would come out of my mouth. The sudden gulps of the guests were not going unnoticed in my ears. What caused the guests to respond like that? Was the man that hideous? I lost my zeal to look at him. With a heavy heart, I kept looking away until he stood in front of me. Slowly, I glanced at the man standing in front of me. My heart was pounding so hard that I felt like it would burst. I gasped. There was no way he was the alpha lord and the groom of tonight's wedding. The phenomenally handsome man from earlier was standing right in front of me. Up close, he was multiple times more attractive. Barbaric man? Who? He was radiating such royal energy that even the noblest vampires were intimidated when he entered. My husband-to-be.
