Rean crossed into another world. Without relying on cheats or systems, he spent over thirty years conquering an entire continent and establishing the first unified dynasty—the Holy Eldaria Empire.

Just as he was about to achieve ultimate glory and ascend to godhood, he suddenly fell, his body withering overnight, leaving him less than a month to live.

In order to cure himself, he entered the sacred artifact Source Cocoon, to purify the curse and rebuild his body. Ten years later, he was supposed to return in peak condition!

But when he opened his eyes again, six hundred years had already passed.

His empire had fractured, and the splintered nations were locked in endless wars.

The age of magic was crumbling, and spellcasters once dismissed as mediocre had now become revered as masters.

He himself had become a mere historical figure—and there were even rumors slandering him as a traitor.

The good news: the curse was gone, and his body had indeed been remade.

The bad news: it had been remade into that of a newborn.

Worse still, the Source Cocoon carrying him had ended up in the hands of an elven girl—who now looked at him with sparkling eyes, insisting he call her “Mama”...

After countless trials, he finally found his only surviving descendant—the empire’s last princess.

“Hello, I am Emperor Shengyuan. I did not die. Now I need your help to rebuild the Holy Eldaria Empire. Once I reclaim my throne, I will name you the next queen!”

#Palace intrigue is impossible, just watching the drama unfold and having kids#

Cui Xuejian transmigrated and became a little Baolin.

Several towering mountains stand overhead, while a few kittens stretch out their paws at your feet.

Given this situation, what's the point of palace intrigue? Let's just give up and do nothing!

Cui Xuejian believed that as long as she hid quickly, no demons or monsters could find her!

Ha, he might not be good at palace intrigue, but he's a master at health preservation!

As long as you live long enough, you'll have everything!

Um, but what's wrong with this emperor? Don't come looking for me! I'm never having children again!!!

[Transmigrated into a minor palace concubine, the system lets me watch dramas while I gossip]

Let's expose the true nature of Emperor Qin Mouchen, who loved to eavesdrop.

P.S.: My new book, "I'm in Palace Intrigue, You're Just Watching the Show?", has been released. Welcome to support it! ◝(⁰▿⁰)◜

The person

standing in front of you now is:

The absolute top star of the LALALAI Theater Company, the winner of the Imperial Drama Award for Best Actor, the admired senior and ideal dating partner of Kurokawa Akane.

The inspiration source personally certified by the author of "Tokyo BLADE", the spiritual mentor and only light of Hoshino Ai, the king of variety shows and stage plays that directors in the circle most want to cooperate with.

A perfect idol who debuted as a child star, he ranked first on the list of "child stars who most want to be their mothers" for three consecutive years after his debut, and ranked first on the list of "men who most want to hug" for five consecutive years after he grew up. The evaluation of "making everyone in front of the TV laugh in ten seconds" made Arima Kana call him an expert.

However, what is giving Kitagawa Ryo the most headache now is his sister who is not related by blood but is suspected to be reincarnated.

I, Gui Ye, the King of Beautiful Girl Conquests who walks through a sea of flowers without a single leaf clinging to me!

Upholding the principle of giving beautiful girls a place to call home, I have warmed the hearts of countless beauties, and given them... sighs.

But even so, I still couldn't feel satisfied.

Until one night, as I looked at a doujin, I sighed: If only I could receive the kind of treatment those male leads get...

And then, the next morning, through the virtue I’d accumulated by warming the hearts of all those beautiful girls. I finally...

"So, you're the first 'Contract Spirit' I summoned?"

Surveying the research lab around him, Lin Xuan had no choice but to accept the fact—he had transmigrated into *Contract Spirit Chronicles*, the mobile game he had nearly beaten.

It was a gacha-style RPG with anime aesthetics.

In the game, players took on the role of a "Contract Master," commanding summoned spirits in battle.

He had been playing a beta version sent by a small studio—unreleased, with no official launch yet.

Sure, he *had* complained about the game's absurd difficulty, how it felt like fighting through bugs just to progress, and even joked about demanding a pay-to-win option...

But he *never* asked to be *transmigrated* into it!

Well, no use crying over spilled milk.

Eyeing the white-haired girl holding a rifle in front of him, Lin Xuan—now a legendary Contract Master—began strategizing which battle tactics would suit her best.

Until—

"Sorry..." The girl tilted her head, hesitating. "But... *you're* the Contract Spirit I summoned. Did the ritual go wrong?"

Lin Xuan: "?"

Wait a minute—*this game’s gacha pool doesn’t even have male characters!?*

———

**Bad news:** He transmigrated—over a century *after* the game’s storyline, so no meta-guiding.

**Good news:** All the characters he pulled back then are still here, and their affection for him remains *maxed out*.

**Worse news:** There are *way too many of them*.

The old man pointed to the flower-like woman and said, “Call her mother from now on.” He then pointed to a flower-bud-like girl and said, “This is your sister.”

My younger sister was not cute.

She was arrogant, taciturn and weird, but she knew how to please our parents.

She was two-faced and deceitful, but it seemed like she only treated me that way.

I cared for her, tried to please her as much as I can, but she still disliked me.

Until one day, I found out her secret, our relationship began to get a little bit weird…

WARNING: The MC is NOT a demon! For an explanation of the title, please see the post we made specifically addressing this matter.

Ling Xiao was an orphan fighting for survival in a dog eat dog world. There were some who had the power to enjoy a life of comfort, unconcerned with worldly matters, while most struggled to survive. He was of the second kind.

When he celebrated his sixth birthday, his father left him to the wolves with only a token to defend himself. He struggled to earn a living, scrambling together whatever scraps he could gather; fighting with the dogs for food and fighting with the homeless for shelter.

But that all changed on a fortuitous day, when a demon invaded his home. In a world of deception and plotting, one tasked with seeking revenge for the man who gave him a second lease on life, how would Ling Xiao fare?
