Zhang Shutong once had two female classmates:

one was the proud daughter of a wealthy family;

the other was a cold young woman working as a temple priest in the mountains.

One of them was killed eight years ago, and the other died eight years later.

Zhang Shutong also had a secret he couldn't tell anyone:

he could travel back in time.

...

But after finally rescuing them, why did they start fighting?

...

Deep mountains, vast lakes, temples, underwater shadows, a serial murder case from eight years ago, and a girl's gradually freezing body;

this is a youth story set on a small winter island among a group of young boys and girls, a story that is sometimes heartwarming, sometimes thrilling, and sometimes romantic.

...

(Romance + Time Travel + Campus + Suspense)

This book was formerly known as "Rewind: Starting from Saving the Missing Girl"

I was an NPC Passerby, and the system told me that my mission was very simple—

1. Become friends with the male protagonist.

2. Block a fatal blow for the male protagonist at critical juncture.

3. Die in the male protagonist’s arms, beautifully reciting pre-written lines, allowing him to gain power-ups amidst his grief and anger, thus enabling him to defeat stronger foes than himself.

The system said that my death would present a tear-jerking scene, after which I could retire.

I nodded, indicating that I fully understood everything.

Then I discovered that the greatest challenge of this quest wasn’t “becoming friends with the male lead” but rather “dying.”

Who could tell me why the speed at which the male protagonist unlocked his abilities was faster than the speed at which I recited my dying words?!

I hadn’t even fallen to the ground yet, and the earth-shattering boss had already been beaten to death by the rampaging male lead!

All I could do was hunker down and wait for my next opportunity to sacrifice myself, but…

Ahh, how did it come to this?! The male protagonist’s power-ups were far quicker than my own dying pace—there really weren’t any chances left for me!

“I absolutely will not allow anyone else to have the chance to harm you… absolutely.”

…Thank you, but seriously, there really isn’t any need to go so far for a mere “friend!” Why does saying this make the male protagonist look even more displeased?!

[Why don’t you check the tags?]

I looked—

And found that after the original “Youngster’s Passion,” another tag appeared: “Feast on Dog Food.”

I stared at it blankly.

What did that mean? How was I supposed to understand this?!

Speaking of, the latest round of “Character Popularity Voting” had unexpectedly landed on the same name as mine…

Wait, does that sound like me?!

Ah?

I really am just a passerby!

Aloof and Naive Female Lead X Outgoing Hidden Schemer Male Lead

[Reading Notes:]

1. Urban Monster Setting, Transmigrating into a Comic. There will be some forum content, but not the main focus.

2. The system’s role is quite significant, and its comedic function is somewhat like that of a roast master.

3. Ability Possession, with a hint of supernatural elements, but should not be considered horror.

4. Pay little attention to the comments section; if you need to contact me about something important, please look at the column.

5. Not quick-transmigration, not quick-transmigration, really not quick-transmigration! I tagged it as transmigration, so don’t get mixed up, T_T

6. All city names used within this work are fictional, including Fuhai City and Qionghai City derived from the manga. Do not associate them with reality.

Rong Zheng heard that she had transmigrated into a book — an old-fashioned tragic romance novel where the Crown Princess pursues her white moonlight Crown Prince. The male lead abuses the female lead, her family, and her friends. Despite all this, the Crown Princess, covered in wounds, ends up winning over the Crown Prince, and they end up together.

But Rong Zheng’s arrival seems to have changed things. She firmly believes that by playing the opposite role, her life will take a different path.

In Taohua County, when the old eunuch asks her to act as a fake Crown Prince, she chooses instead to become the real Crown Prince.

When the Empress Dowager forces her to break off the engagement upon returning to the palace, she proposes to the female lead.

The Emperor at the main hall and the Empress Dowager of Ciming Palace want to make her a mere pawn? She chooses to turn the tables.

Even the princes covet her woman? Want to snatch the Crown Prince’s position? Not worthy!

Various traitors and rebels want to harm her father-in-law, but she’s already set traps waiting for them.

Those who try to force her will be left nowhere to hide. When enemies try to assassinate her, the legendary Qianqiu Yan sword sweeps across thousands of troops — one man guards the pass, ten thousand cannot break through.

She fiercely protects her: "I’m here. Who dares to touch her!"

Until the day the plot concludes, Rong Zheng recalls the unbeatable achievements she once reached.

“I am ultimately above all.”

“No one dares command me.”

Qianqiu Yan turns over on the dragon throne, weak and delicate: “My back aches.”

Rong Zheng immediately rushes to massage her wife: “I’m here.”

As soon as he crossed over, he was bound to the [God Rewards Hard Work (Magic Revised Edition)] system. Fang Zheng thought that his life script was a loser's counterattack and God rewards hard work.

But he soon discovered that this system... had a serious problem!

[Ding! Detected that the host intends to practice the righteous technique "Pure Heart and Universal Kindness Mantra", and is currently undergoing a hundredfold optimization...] [Optimization successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Ghost Transmigration (Physical) Method"!]

[Ding! Detected that the host intends to deploy the "Qingfeng Guardian Formation" to protect the villagers. This ambitious aspiration is earth-shaking...] [Activating the optimal protection solution! Congratulations to the host for mastering the ultimate protective formation—the "Blood Sacrifice Pagoda Prison-Suppressing Formation"!]

Fang Zheng: "I beg you not to optimize anymore!!" System: [The purer the host's Dao heart, the stronger the optimization effect! Detecting that the host's desire to 'protect the people' has reached its peak, the power of the formation has increased by 1000%!]

So, Fang Zheng tried to convert the demon, but ended up planting a soul mark on him and making him his loyal servant. He tried to protect a village, but the entire village offered a blood sacrifice and ascended to heaven, becoming part of his divine power and thanking him with a smile. He tried to spar with a righteous genius, but a single finger shot shattered the other's heart, causing him to cry out "demon."

The Righteous One: "This boy is the greatest devil of all time, and everyone must kill him!" The Devil: "The Holy Son has arrived! The Demon Lord has reincarnated! Welcome our Lord and wipe out the hypocrisy of the Righteous One!"

Fang Zheng knelt on the ground, looking at his growing strength and increasingly dark reputation, and shed tears of regret.

"I...I really just want to be a good person!"

The down-and-out young man Chen Tianyu was scolded by his boss at work. Dragging his exhausted body back to his small rented apartment, he thought about the dinner his girlfriend He Xiaoli had prepared for him, and it was as if all the day's unpleasantness hadn't happened. But what he didn't expect was that when he got home, not only was there no dinner, but his girlfriend greeted him with a cold, indifferent expression. Watching her lift her suitcase, he looked at her helplessly. Even though he had a bad feeling in his heart, he still didn't want to accept the outcome.

“Tianyu, let's break up. From now on, you go your way, and I’ll go mine. Let's part ways here.”

Chen Tianyu watched as his girlfriend left him, moving farther and farther away…

In the ancient and mysterious land of the Fertile Crescent, two world wars, like two devastating earthquakes, completely reshaped the trajectory of Middle Eastern history. A Century of Middle East Events takes readers on a journey through time and space, witnessing this region's arduous journey through turmoil and transformation.

After World War I, the Ottoman Empire collapsed, and the Middle East was brutally divided among the great powers in the Sykes-Picot Agreement. British and French colonial rule and the rise of Zionism sowed the seeds of conflict in Palestine. The Arab Revolt, while igniting hopes for independence, was ultimately shattered by power struggles. Kemal Ataturk established a secular republic in Turkey, and the House of Saud unified the Arabian Peninsula. A new political landscape was painstakingly constructed from the ruins.

The smoke of World War II spread to the Middle East, where it became a crucial battlefield between the Allies and the Axis powers. The pro-German coup in Iraq, the Allied occupation of Iran, and the life-or-death struggle at El Alamein—each event profoundly influenced the course of the war. Simultaneously, the oil economy began to rise. Saudi Arabia's oil fields and Iraq's pipelines further strengthened the Middle East's strategic importance.

In the alternation of war and peace, the wave of nationalism surged, with Egypt's Nasser Revolution, the rise of Syria's Baath Party, and Iran's oil nationalization movement. The countries in the Middle East continued to explore the path of independence and development. However, the outbreak of the Arab-Israeli conflict and the intensification of sectarian conflicts plunged this land into new turmoil.

Chang Pan had known since childhood that she was an adopted daughter, yet her personality remained spoiled and willful.

At fifteen, her adoptive parents’ biological daughter was brought back home, and she had no choice but to return to her birth mother.

From a rich second generation to a poor second generation, Chang Pan disliked everything about her new environment equally.

But she found she couldn’t bring herself to dislike Fang You.

An elder sister with no blood relation to her, the pillar holding up a broken household,

who, with a quiet and restrained charm, captured all of Chang Pan’s attention.

She realized that what she wanted most as an adult wasn’t the life of a wealthy second generation—

but Fang You.

Fang You’s life was one of endurance.

Enduring through elementary school, enduring through middle school, enduring until she could work.

Then, everything would be over.

She never expected that in the abyss of a life where there was nowhere further to fall, a flower would drop into it.

Chang Pan was her nominal younger sister, a responsibility that fate had bound to her and would not let go.

In the end, she would become that bouquet of flowers taking root in the abyss.

Enduring until the end brought no release—only a reunion after separation, where they relied on each other for life.

One-sentence summary: The little sister who fell from the sky isn’t very cute.

Time stops, and people all over the world enter the second world. Only by surviving the test time can they return to the first world and enjoy life in two worlds.

Chen Le missed the explanation of the gods and was reincarnated as the only elf-like Goblin King in the world, ruling over all goblins.

The goblins have only one goal: to survive and reproduce.

The female goblin was weak and did not meet Chen Le's criteria for a mate.

The childhood sweetheart among the human magicians who came to hunt it

The female knight who came alone and looked down on the goblins

A new female adventurer who dreams of becoming a hero

The princess of the kingdom who treats goblins as trash and lets them gain experience without worry

A team of female heroes who accepted the order to destroy the Goblin's nest

They seem to be the right choice for Chen Le.

It was not until Chen Le became the true Goblin Emperor and returned to reality after the time test ended that Chen Le discovered that he had stood above two worlds and had countless harems to himself.

Astrologers, those who use the movements of celestial bodies to understand the past and present, predict the future, and reveal destiny, are a variant of the prophetic wizard.

Astrologer Pal Last initially believed this, until he rediscovered an ancient tome passed down from his ancestors—the "Guide to the Starry Passenger."

What does it mean to "use the paths of the stars as a circuit to construct formulas, and to draw on the magic of the astral realm to perform plane-level magic"? What does

it mean to "distort time and space with immense magical power and mass—this is the essence of astrology"?

What does it mean to "see what you get, and to foresee the future and pre-empt power"?

What does it mean to "give the sky stars, give the earth light, and give man the future"?

At first glance, it seems like mere fiction, but upon closer inspection, there's a deeper meaning. If only they could launch something into the sky and maintain contact with it...

this was the very first step taken by the legendary astrologer who revolutionized the school of prophecy. It was also the beginning of the career of the prophet known as the "Great Conman."

"What do you mean by conning people? We prophets are so weak in combat and so easily targeted. How can we survive if we don't learn some magic to protect ourselves?"

While the spires of the Starry City still condensed star tracks, and the lava in the volcanic zone chanted the Tome of the Elements, this world, drenched in the torrent of magic, clung to a millennium of unchanging magical supremacy—until Chloe, with Newton's Three Laws, shattered the otherworldly ceiling.

Despite being the only "Muggle" on the continent with zero magical affinity, she could deduce the trajectory of a dragon's flight in the library, dismantle a wand to reconstruct an unknown device, and even recite the wondrous principles of chemistry over boiling potions.

While traditional magicians still worshipped the elemental gods for favor, Chloe had already forged a steam-powered magical engine in the abandoned workshop of the Church of Truth, ushering in the Industrial Revolution.

Truth should be held in our own hands!

Gears and wands dance together, steam and heavy swords go hand in hand.

Times have changed, my lord!
