When she finally understood, she was already too late. The protagonists had already fallen in love with each other and planned for a marriage. Maybe she was still lucky though, for she narrowly avoided a situation of certain death. A long, painful and agonizing death. However, she couldn’t let this be. There was inside her a growing anger that had yet to disappear. She had yet to vent. It was a need. One that may lead her to death’s door too, but if she died by this person’s hands, certainly, it would be in a quicker way.... more>>

She just never thought that his revenge would come in the form he chose to give it. He was quite a… bewildering man. <<less

Ming Yu, a 25 year old who survives through his daily life by doing part time jobs once dreamed of becoming an Author. But due to his lack of self-esteem and motivation he easily gave up and hid his manuscripts away on a drawer.... more>>

On his way home when he turned into a corner everything before him suddenly changed.

Through a game like interface popping out infront of him, he recieved a letter saying that he is currently in one of his novels and that the Admin pitied him for his lack of confidence and decided that it would be good for Ming Yu to experience his novels himself.

[Ming Yu: . . . So I cant just stay as a bystander?]

[Admin: Thats the opposite of why I forced you here dont you think?]

[Ming Yu: Admin I quit.]

[Admin: No. you can't!]

[Ming Yu: I'll starve myself and die.]

[Admin: I gave you money so go travel dammit! I wanted for you to experience this world thoroughly and enjoy it so i purposely left you away from the Capital.]

[Ming Yu: You should've just sent me there. I don't want to walk. nor talk. nor travel. why did you make this so complicated.]

The usually slow Ming Yu's typing speed and word length increased a bit from being slightly annoyed.

[Admin: For f***s sake cooperate with me and gather experience.]

After finishing all of them -------

-----Admin changed its username to 'Little-brother'

[Little Brother: SAVE ME!!!]

________________________
Returning with accolades after securing victory for his empire, Great General Ning Wei is faced with the arduous task of dealing with the imperial court and its petty schemes. As frustration over his situation mounts, the prestigious Yan household offers an unexpectedly favorable alliance.... more>>

Ning Wei finds himself intrigued by the young head of his newly-allied household, Yan Yixuan. But Yan Yixuan’s words seem to have hidden meanings and his behavior with Ning Wei too indulgent for an ally. After schemes are concocted and hurdles passed, will the great general finally find the answers he seeks from the one who waylaid him?
____________

While establishing the pact between their households—

Yan Yixuan: I will protect and support your household for you. Any injustice done unto you will be as if done unto me, and any favors you owe will now be mine to repay. Do you agree that you will show me the same regard?

Ning Wei: ……

Why does it sound like a marriage vow?! No, he's thinking too much.

Ning Wei: Yes, I agree.

Yan Yixuan smiles brilliantly as if having obtained something priceless.

Ning Wei, inwardly: Why do I feel like I just signed over my soul? I must be imagining things again…

Yan Yixuan, inwardly: I can finally be close to my Ah-Ning! Let’s see who will dare to bully him now.

The other court officials: We don’t dare, we don’t dare!

Soon, the entire capital is flooded with the news of their flamboyant courting (the oblivious Ning Wei: Our flamboyant what?!) and then blinded with their shameless displays of affection (the smitten Ning Wei: I’ve been corrupted by a certain irresistible little fox).

The bullied officials: If that demon of a duke told us his intentions earlier, would we have offended the general?! Great General, forgive our insolence!

Ning Wei, looks at his lover: Did you do something for me behind my back again?

Yan Yixuan: *smiles innocently*

Ning Wei, chuckles and rubs his head affectionately: Cheeky little fox. <<less

Liang Fei is an avid reader, hardworking man and a loyal brother.... more>>

So why is he forced to play the role of a villain in a novel he never even read!? After being killed and transmigrated into his younger sisters favorite novel, Liang Fei finds himself in the tough situation of surviving in a novel he's never read and a genre he's unfamiliar with. Even the protagonist is unknown to him.

But if he's the villain, the best way to save his life is to be the best master and why not start with his adorable student, Liu Xieren.

Xieren: I don't want to share Shizun with anyone else. Be only my Shizun, okay?
Liang: That might be hard... But I think I can do it.
Xieren: [Takes his hand] So you'll be only mine?
Liang: [Blinks innocently] I suppose that's one way to put it.

The Jade Veterinarian follows a young man and writer of unoriginal harem adventure novels Chen Jiajian, who most parents would call ‘a disappointment’. He throws his life away on a kitten in the road, but his selfless act earns him the good will of the Cat Emperor. Awarded one of the Emperor’s Nine Lives, he wakes up in a world that seems very familiar. It should be: he wrote it!... more>>

Supreme Warlord of the Beast World wasn’t a breakout hit, but it was just different enough that readers took notice of him. The plot: Yue Fengjian, a strong, heroic cultivator from the mountains, must seek help from other parts of the human world to save his ancestral home from the encroaching threat of demons from the west. Each sect he meets has its own strengths and weaknesses, but the hero’s strength and compassion win him friends and respect, even among enemies. The Beauties in each sect fall head-over-heels for him. In the end, each sect sends their strongest, wisest members to help repel the demonic hordes. After their stunning victory, Yue Fengjian is made the Red Emperor, ruling over all human lands with a benevolent hand.

But instead of transmigrating into the main character, he’s just Lian Zhidiao, a ‘cannon fodder’ character, mentioned once and then forgotten like thousands of others he made up and discarded when necessary. A disappointment in the real world, and a nobody in this one: can’t he even get transmigration right?

To make matters worse, all the things that he expects—a System, a Protagonist’s Halo—are nowhere to be found. Try as he might, he can’t bring up any kind of interface. His own shoddy world-building bites his back too, as things he doesn’t remember writing or even imagining start to pile up and threaten his understanding of the world. Does he need to preserve the events of the story, or just the outcomes? With no warning system, how does he know if he’s made a mistake?

Can cannon fodder really stand out in this world that blends together with all the others? <<less

In the depths of Chroch Gom Prison, held down by chains and immobile by a turtle shell, a broken warrior had been imprisoned for two decades.... more>>

He opened his eyes as deep yellow pierced through the dark. Once filled with hatred and rage, his eyes now held the wisdom and depth of two souls, two lives.

One was Tai Lung, the son of Master Shifu, born in ancient China where Kung Fu ruled supreme. The other was also Tai Lung, the son of man, born in a modern world where his current world was nothing but fiction.

Two lives. Two souls.

Now one entity.

He was armed with knowledge he should not possess and the wisdom of two lifetimes.

So when he breaks out from the chain of his imprisonment, he not only breaks the physical chains but also the chains of Fate and Destiny.

Destined to be a villain, a stepping stone for the Dragon Warrior, he became something more.

He should not have happened, he was an anomaly, a variable beyond the calculation of the universe.

His existence had changed everything in the universe.

He smiled, knowing that the old turtle was not so wise, because he was wrong.

.
.

There are accidents.

He was surprised to find out there was something after death and shocked to be told that he, of all people, had achieved great karmic virtue in their past life. Did they have him confused with some other Ash Veisi?

Lei Yirui is a hardcore fan of the TV drama, “Limitless” which tells the story of Jia Zhenzhen, a young woman disguising herself as a man in order to assassinate the prince… only to fall into an intricate web of deception and romance! It has an incredible cast of diamond in the rough unknowns, an intriguing story, and compelling writing!... more>>

Lei Yirui is also a big fan of the fanfiction that the fandom produces… She doesn’t care much about who Jia Zhenzhen is paired with, and even likes the nonsense ship of Jia Zhenzhen and the main villain. Enemies to lovers can be really cool!

Though it sucks a little that the fans aren't really into femslash... no matter! She can resign herself to reading about the popular pairings...

But that becomes the least of her worries, because after getting drunk off of her ass at a party, Lei Yirui transmigrates into the world of Limitless!

Except… she’s become the annoying younger sister of the second lead! A character with barely two minutes of screentime before getting tragically killed offscreen to propel the plot! She doesn’t even have a proper name, only ever being called Meimei!

Thanks, but no thanks. Surely things can’t deviate too much if Lei Yirui conveniently sticks by Jia Zhenzhen’s side so she doesn’t end up a victim of the plot… <<less

As he sought blood and revenge, heaven secured him and locked him up before he caused irreparable destruction to his world and caused it to collapse.

But just as he thought that his master could live a carefree life, heaven didn't let him rest.
