(Traditional Historical Romance + Female Lead Redemption + Faked Death + Late-Stage Possessive Obsession)

Song Li was the legitimate daughter of the Loyal Marquis’s household. After her father and brother backed the wrong side in court, they were imprisoned and executed. She fell from a noble highborn lady to a lowly concubine used for revenge, and eventually died young from depression and despair.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to when she was thirteen. And kneeling in the courtyard at that moment was the lowly young boy who, in the future, would become a powerful minister—second only to the emperor.

So, she completely changed her former spoiled ways, flattering him in every possible manner, appearing pitiful and obedient. All she wanted was for Pei Jingheng, once he rose to power, to show mercy to the Song family.

To win a chance of survival for her father and brother, she died taking a sword for Pei Jingheng in front of everyone. She left cleanly, but drove the young minister mad with grief—his hair turned white overnight, and every night he suffered heart-wrenching pain and coughed up blood.

In countless midnight nightmares, Pei Jingheng woke up in cold sweat, tormented by regret. Why hadn’t he protected Song Li back then?

He only wanted to finish handling state affairs quickly so he could join her in death.

Until one day, during a secret investigation in Wangzhou, he unexpectedly saw the person he thought of day and night.

His so-called "good little sister" had faked her death—just to escape him.

Song Li, having changed her name and identity, thought she had escaped everything. But the next day, when she returned home, she was cornered in an alley by a white-haired man.

Their bodies pressed tightly together, the cold scent of pear blossoms surrounded them, unbearably intimate.

The girl’s breathing quickened slightly. When she saw clearly who it was, her voice carried a hint of anger:

“Are you insane?”

The veins in the man's hand tensed. His scorching breath fell beside her ear as he kissed her without hesitation:

“I went insane the day you left me.”

Song Luan transmigrated into a book called "The Regent's Power", becoming the wife of the male lead who dies a tragic death.

In the book, the original version of her character was a selfish and harsh woman who abandoned her husband and child, and ultimately died miserably in a fire.

Having read the book, Song Luan felt a little panicked.

So she decided to lie low and behave properly — and tightly cling to the male lead's thigh.

Type: A black-bellied, cold and paranoid male lead × A delicate, soft, and timid little wife

Key point: You can scold the male and female leads, but the author says: no scolding the author.

Scold anyone you want — just not me.

A melodramatic, cliché-ridden, indulgent, sweet and satisfying story

Highlight: Super melodramatic and old-school!!!! Full of clichés and drama!!! Contains emotional angst!!!

Main Character's POV: Song Luan

One-line Summary: A domineering young master falls in love with me

Su Meng transmigrated into a novel as the frail, sickly side character who constantly coughed up blood every few steps and tormented the villain in the early chapters. The system told her: if she nurtures the villain and helps him grow up well, she can be reborn.

So, she began diligently raising the villain.

At first, he was cold and gloomy, like a feral wolf cub, baring his claws:

"Don't come near me."

Later, he began craving more of her affection, restraining his dark and terrifying possessiveness and obsession. He pretended to be obedient, retracting his claws:

"You'll stay by my side, watching over me, being with me... right?"

Then, after Su Meng faked her death and was dragged back again, she looked at the man in front of her — filled with repressed madness. He let out a low, hoarse laugh:

"See? If you’re not watching me, I’ll do something terrible."

...

Ji Weichen never imagined the goddess in his heart would come to him, take his hand, and pull him out of hell.

And yet, all he could think of was how to drag that goddess down from her altar, make her his, and defile her.

"Mengmeng, don’t look at them. Don’t smile at them. Just look at me, okay?"

Synopsis:

18-year-old Yun Ran was the tragic white moonlight (unattainable first love) of a paranoid bigshot in a novel. To survive, she took on a mission to "redeem" the male lead and then fake her death.

But after successfully faking her death, the system suddenly informed her: she redeemed the wrong person.

Now, she has abruptly become 26 years old, with a new body and a new identity. Sitting across from her is a gloomy, aloof man consulting for psychological issues.

The man lounged carelessly on the sofa—handsome, calm in expression, but with eyes full of scrutiny, fixed straight on her.

Unlucky soul Yun Ran wiped cold sweat from her temple: “…”

That was Jiang Yue, her childhood friend—and the real target she was meant to redeem.

Yun Ran: This is absurd :)

What’s even more absurd is that the unscrupulous system started acting up again, forcing Yun Ran to shuttle back and forth between ages 18 and 26.

One second, she’s trapped in the arms of the adult, brooding version of Jiang Yue, unable to move. His eyes are deep and unreadable as he gently rubs her fingertips, his voice like a ghost’s whisper:

“Yun Ran, you lied to me again.”

The next second, Yun Ran is standing outside a high school. The teenage Jiang Yue strides toward her through the curtain of rain, awkwardly tilting his umbrella toward her as the tips of his ears turn red:

“What are you staring at? Let’s go home.”

System: “Host, thrilling enough for you?”

Yun Ran: “…”

Thanks, even a rollercoaster isn’t this thrilling.

In Jiang Yue’s bleak and lonely youth, Yun Ran was the only sliver of light that pierced his endless night.

But her gaze never fell on him. She disappeared like the wind at age eighteen, leaving only regret.

Eight years later, Jiang Yue had become a rising star in the business world, numbing himself with endless work and plagued by insomnia—until his assistant handed him a profile of a new psychological consultant.

The girl in the photo was smiling sweetly. It was her.

His grip tightened on the file. The idea of someone coming back from the dead was far too bizarre.

But whether she was human or ghost didn’t matter. If it really was her, then this time, he would cling to this light and never let go—even in death.

From now on, her gaze would belong to him alone.

---

Not long after, some employees accidentally witnessed a horrifying scene after work:

Their cold-faced, world-weary boss briskly walked up to a car. The window rolled down, revealing a lively, pretty girl who said something to him.

Soon, the boss got into the passenger seat and left with her.

In just five minutes, the employees were utterly shaken.

“???”

Was that man—the one practically wagging his tail with joy—really their gloomy, foul-tempered boss?

They must be going insane! Sob!

Main Characters: Yun Ran & Jiang Yue

One-Sentence Summary:

Her childhood sweetheart blackened, but he’s a hopeless romantic.

Theme:

Mutual love, running toward each other.

Author's Note:

Every time I hear the theme song from Naruto Shippuden the Movie 7: The Lost Tower, I can’t help but imagine—

What if that fateful night sixteen years ago never happened?

What kind of joyful childhood might Naruto have had?

And how differently would the story of Naruto have unfolded?

What if, after the Reaper Death Seal was cast, the soul of the Fourth Hokage crossed through space and time, returning to the past... and once again met that red-haired girl?

How would everything change from there?

This is a story of the Fourth Hokage’s reincarnation!

——

Minato Namikaze, Fourth Hokage:

“In the name of Hokage, I will protect the village—my family and my comrades. That is my mission now!”

In the name of the Yellow Flash, he shakes the Five Great Nations and slices through all darkness!

Note: This is a dream-fulfillment story for die-hard Fourth Hokage fans. Minato does not regain his memories right away in the early chapters. If you share this vision with the author, give it a try—you won’t be disappointed!

Traveling through the Douluo World, Qing Huan constantly felt that no matter the protagonist's character, achievements, or opportunities...even the original characters themselves, none of this had anything to do with him.

Coming to this new world, having been given a life for nothing, yet fixating on the protagonist was too narrow-minded.

There were so many fascinating things in this new world. Find something you're fascinated by and pursue it relentlessly, even if it means death.

Qing Huan didn't particularly want to be associated with the original characters, but the reality seemed to indicate otherwise...

so he'd just face it!

CEO world.

Popular young actress cries: Director Ji complains my action scenes are poor, eyes lack killing intent, today scolded me seven times.

Assistant Zhu Yin (takes out dungeon‑card): Boss, interested in zombie invasion? Here's a free trial card, no need to thank me.

…

Later, because of zero negative reviews, Zhu Yin became the legend of the quick‑transmigration department.

In the Tianxuan world, there are many strong people and geniuses!

Zhang Ze traveled to the Tianxuan world, but he was just a rubbish bone with very poor talent, but he accidentally obtained a life simulation system and started his life simulation journey.

In the first life simulation, he glimpsed the opportunity of the empress, but unfortunately he was reluctant to practice with the empress, and was slapped to death. He died two days after traveling.

Zhang Ze didn't want to give up the opportunity of the empress, so he went there resolutely, and never lingered afterwards!

The empress: "Go, you helped me heal my wounds and got benefits. Forget about what happened last night, and don't even think about coming to me!"

Zhang Ze: "Okay!"

When he left, he looked like a scumbag who had eaten everything and left with his pants!

He also saved his life.

A month later, the empress found him, and Zhang Ze was packing his luggage to escape.

Empress: "Haha, you don't want to see me so much? You want to move?"

Zhang Ze: "I know I'm weak, so I want to practice secretly. When I catch up with you, I can come to propose marriage!"

Empress: "Okay, I'm pregnant with your child. Come back to the sect with me and be my husband!"

Zhang Ze: "What?! I'm going to be a father?!"

After being taken back by the Empress, Zhang Ze was out of control.

One month.

Huanyue Palace: "All undercover agents are dispatched to kill Zhang Ze!"

Zhang Ze: "The bones are too poor, and the improvement is too slow!"

“I suddenly discovered that this world is dangerous today.” Bai Zhi looked grave as he typed out a line of text on his computer.

“When I went out today, I came across some poor guy getting bitten by another person. Luckily, a few brave guys rushed out to bring the criminal to justice, but when the person who was bitten struggled to stand up, he was immediately beaten to the ground by one of those who had supposedly saved him—and then, they called the police! I’ve watched more than enough modern movies to know what happened. The zombie was taken out before the virus could spread.”

“Last time, you told us about a few guys saving humanity from an alien invasion… This time, it’s a zombie outbreak?”

There was an exasperated response from the chat box.

“So how was that dangerous?”

“There are also several girls who are fighting tooth and nail for a piece of me! It’s totally Hell in here, don’t you think it’s dangerous!?”

“???”

Due to a series of major events, Huo Yuhao, who was about to give up his godhood and travel to the lower realms, was ambushed and killed by Tang San from behind, and was reborn back to the time of his birth.

After his rebirth, Huo Yuhao originally planned to survive until he became a god, reversing his past tragedies along the way.

In the God Realm, he exposed Tang San's actions on Douluo Continent and stripped him of his godhood.

But unexpected events disrupted his plans.

Ma Xiaotao had actually become a loli?

Why were Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao inseparable, like best friends?

Tianmeng Bingdi was acting strangely towards him, always leaning on him...

Snow Diva even called him "Dad" the moment they met!

Most outrageous was Teacher Tang Ya, who had joined the Chuanling Pavilion, aiming to relegate the Tang Sect to the dustbin.

And then there was the Silver Dragon King, who, upon meeting him, demanded that he fall in love with her within three years or else she would kill him.

It seemed as if everything had been shattered by the storm stirred up by this butterfly.
