Lin Xi spent 14 years at this family and never did figure out why she had always been mistreated.

She finally learned that she was living in a cliché novel with radical moral standards.

Her mother was the female lead and her “father” was the male lead. Before the male lead fell in love with the female lead, he had belittled and was abusive to her in all sorts of ways. He even offered her up to others and, finally, the female lead had intimate relationship with a strange man.

The male lead fell head over heel in love with the female lead after that and expressed that he did not mind the child. Nevertheless, the existence of said child was a like a thorn in male and female leads’s hearts and it reminded them of their past constantly.

Unfortunately, Lin Xi was this child that should never had been born.

In the extra, Lin Xi tried to set up her sister out of envy but it backfired on herself and she ended up strangled. The male lead was able to locate the man who had intimacy with the female lead and ruined both his reputation and family fortune.

After 10 seconds of hesitation, Lin Xi decided to leave the family where she was not loved and go live with her own father.

The weak rely on the strong to survive, and the strong control the fate of the weak. This is how the world has always been. Murphy, who has traveled through time and space, faces this cruel world. Will he choose to sink into it or go against the current?

[Quickly travel through time, a yandere hero, love at first sight, a two-way journey, sweet love, a stunning heroine, and the original heroine's regrets] In some worlds, the heroines are insane, yandere, and possessive. The heroines call them demons! These heroines often face critically ill parents, bankrupt companies, and son-biased parents. They need the hero's help, yet fear his possessiveness. They want to escape, but are constantly "forced" to return to him for various reasons. In some rebirth stories, the heroine only discovers who truly loved her best until her death, leading to the collapse of her small world and the weakening of the laws of nature. Before their death, these heroines vow, "If there's a next life, I will love the hero well." The heroines of these small worlds, swayed by the plot, become entangled with the heroines. The heroines resent their maniacal, morbid love and the perverse possessiveness of these yandere heroes, leading to a love-hate relationship. Yun Qiyue has a special fondness for these yandere heroes, sympathizing with their unrequited love. Since the heroines suffered so much from being loved in their previous lives, she decided to let them love them.

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!

[Quick wear + not love at first sight + immersive strategy flow + sweet pet + a little wife chasing crematorium + non-sliced ​​male protagonist]

Yuhu (hu): Just standing Male protagonist: Love more and more

The supporting female character tries her best to get the male lead, but always ends up in failure. In this case, why not try to be a simple and weak beauty?

Don't like scheming beauties? That's because she's not scheming enough. I have everything you want.

The heroine is scheming and strategy-oriented. The original heroine has both good and bad sides.

She is a weak and scheming beauty, and may not be a strong woman.

Because it is an immersive experience, I will not write out many psychological descriptions of the heroine. Most of the coincidences are intentional by the heroine.

A dedicated female supporting role x a cool school idol

A talentless actress x a picky actor

[Magical World, Group Pet, Lolita, Stickers, Battle without a Male Lead]

Yuan Xiaoling was reincarnated into the magical world, but became a congenital level zero magician.

Fortunately, she met Angela, a wealthy and inhumane lolita mentor, and also met Luo Xiaoli, a domineering dragon lolita princess. It was also discovered that she was actually the long-lost sister of the Demon King. Thus, Yuan Xiaoling's journey to become the group's favorite began.

"Hot Pot, use Fire Blast!"

"You're cheating! This isn't a magic competition!"

"Who said you can't bring spirit beasts to participate in the competition?"

Then, behind Yuan Xiaoling, ten "spiritual beasts" a whole realm higher than the other party stood out. Not strong enough? The spirit beasts will fill in!

(Because this is a reincarnation story, the early stages may be a bit slow. Also, the protagonist has his own strengths and does not rely entirely on others.)

[Era + Military Marriage + Stepmother + Raising a Child + Beloved by the Family + Real and Fake Heiress]

Xin Yue transmigrated into a period novel as cannon fodder, serving as the female lead's stepping stone and a means for the reborn female lead to rise to power.

In the original book, the reborn female protagonist steals the true identity of the original owner's daughter and goes to recognize her relatives in her place. However, the original owner is framed by the reborn female protagonist and kidnapped by human traffickers to a remote mountain village, where she is eventually tortured to death.

Xin Yue's arrival at the perfect time was right after she was abducted. Fortunately, she was rescued in time by a kind-hearted retired soldier.

Xin Yue took a liking to the heroic veteran who saved people at first sight, and after hearing his name, she immediately decided to cling to him and never let go.

Zhou Yuemin never imagined he could spend his life with a woman, but when that woman appeared, he seemed to become a completely different person.

He used to think of himself as a very capable person, but his wife was even more capable. She built a fishpond, sold shoes, built a shoe factory, opened a cosmetics store, and raised four children to be outstanding and independent. He ended up living a life of relying on her for support.

When the country was in trouble, Zhou Yuemin had to separate from his wife, but his longing and love for her only grew stronger with distance and time.

Especially at night.

Who would have thought that this great military genius, feared by the enemy, would be holding his wife's photo at night, sobbing and unable to sleep, so he went to wipe out a few more enemies.

The enemy raised his hand: Zhou Yuemin, you son of a bitch, don't make it so we can't sleep with our wives in our arms.

Zhou Yuemin's eyes were bloodshot. So he was showing off to me here. Bang bang bang, all wiped out.

Moving into the military compound, she made steady progress, shining brightly every step of the way.

Making movies, catching spies, going to university, becoming a diplomat—one by one, he realized his dreams.

What happened to our agreement to treat each other with utmost respect? What happened to my pre-marital warning not to fall in love with you, Army Officer? You've crossed the line.
