(Not a wish-fulfillment novel + ensemble cast + no female lead + slow burn + slightly dark + a lot of deaths + multiple storylines)
When Zhou Zean saw the world's first golden question mark, he thought he was the chosen one.
Until the torrential rain poured down, a second question mark appeared next to the trash can;
Until the dragon scale fragment was imprinted into his palm, a cold message informed him: Game activated, cannot be exited.
By Sunday, nearly half of the players had quietly died out in the "Endless Night".
He then realized that this was not a game of luck.
This is a survival trial where everything is at stake.
I, Yu Ziqing, accidentally transmigrated to the demon realm, and my soul is now inhabited by a silly, mysterious woman. I'm desperately searching for a way back! In this world overrun by demons, Yu Ziqing is forced to become the second-in-command of a group of lesser demons. And who's the leader? Of course, it's his snake demon wife. I initially wanted to live a peaceful, flirtatious life with my aloof wife, but I've discovered that my strength doesn't allow me to be so low-key… P.S.: Lighthearted, slice-of-life, and absurd.
Walking down the street and watching videos can lead to time travel?
Upon opening his eyes, Shinji Ikari discovered that he had been transported to another world.
He is the pilot of EVA Unit-01 and possesses an AT field that is so powerful it seems inhuman.
Am I withdrawn? I'm just an outsider in this world!
NERV executives viewed him as "the most perfect and most dangerous weapon" and repeatedly failed to control him.
Gendo Ikari is on the verge of collapse, and the SEELE elders are in a state of utter chaos.
Shinji Ikari just wanted to have a quiet breakfast.
"An Apostle? What kind of new figurine is that?"
"I'm going to create a new world? Turns out I'm Kamida!"
"Wait a minute, what do you mean by 'the new world is just a pile of orange juice'?"
"If there aren't any pretty girls, then forget it..."
A gentle older sister amidst the beer cans, a haughty young lady whose pride masks her flaws, a girl with no connections and no emotional attachments wrapped in blood-stained bandages, and a mother's best friend who suddenly appears...
Humans turned into a pool of life-giving water, like orange juice, spilled everywhere. How could I have such a dream?
Not wanting to live in such a world, Shinji Ikari decides to personally bring good news to humanity.
"Su Qi, early stage of Qi Refining!"
The boy in the audience had his head down and his face seemed expressionless, but if you looked down, you would see that his fists were clenched so tightly that his nails seemed to be digging into his flesh, causing a stinging pain...
no.
I can't laugh yet, I have to hold it in.
"Only at the early stage of Qi Refining? The Su family's genius young master is truly a waste!"
"Alas, with his foundation destroyed and his talent reduced to that of an ordinary person, how did a former genius fall to this state?"
Hearing the laughter and gossip around him, Su Qi lowered his head even further to prevent others from seeing his barely concealed expression.
He was neither a fallen genius nor the once prodigious young master of the Su family. He was a substitute for the Su family's genius young master, a substitute who chose to take the place of the Su family's young master to survive a life-threatening ordeal for his sick younger sister.
He had thought he would die in the calamity ten years later, but then the system bound itself to him. As long as he could seize the young master of the Su family's opportunities and even his feelings, he could successfully replace him! Replace him! Even—surpass him!
But Su Qi had absolutely no interest—damn it, the system didn't even give him a newbie gift pack, making him, a guy with mediocre talent, try to seize the opportunity of a genius? Did it think I'd lived too long?
It would be better to just be a stand-in, at least he could live the life of a young master for ten years, and his sister could also get rid of her illness and live on.
only……
Looking at the persistent Miss Su and her demanding fiancée, along with the system's overflowing rewards, Su Qi had a question mark appear above his head:
"Are the people in this world mentally unstable?"
In the third year of the Great Xin Dynasty, the old regime collapsed, and the nation's fate was shattered. Several southern provinces declared independence, uniting to form a new government, attempting to save the country with modern learning. Northern warlords amassed power, and remnants of the old dynasty died and became troublemakers. Along the coast, the ironclad warships of foreign powers roared day and night, bringing not only guns and cannons but also a new professional system filled with the scents of steel, gears, and alchemical potions. Professions are the bridge between humanity and the divine. From the three religions and nine schools of thought to the Hundred Schools of Thought, every profession can produce a master; any profession, if mastered to its highest level, can produce a professional. A cook's knife can unravel dragons and phoenixes, a tailor's needle and thread can mend heaven and earth, and even a beggar, at the extreme, can possess the extraordinary ability to devour the fortune of heaven and earth. Li Xiang transmigrated, inheriting a funeral shop, awakening the [Book of a Hundred Professions], and starting as an embalmer...
(Old house caught fire + 12-year age gap)
A celibate, older man gradually seduces a pure-hearted girl who is both short of money and love.
Mu Tiantian, desperate and with nowhere else to turn, saw an advertisement on a lamppost offering a large sum of money for a child. In her haste, she contacted the man, but in her nervousness, she mistook the last 6 for an 8 and dialed the wrong number, Fu Zhengting, the president of the Fu Group.
At first, Fu Zhengting thought the girl was trying to get his attention in an unconventional way, until he later learned that she was really short of money and had no choice but to do so.
The girl's naivety captivated him; he was hooked and couldn't stop.
The young girl was short of money, so he used money to seduce her step by step.
The little girl lacked love, so he loved her in every way.
-
Mu Tiantian never imagined that a wrong number would lead her to a beautiful love story.
The older man, dressed in a suit and tie, sat in a single sofa. Despite his ascetic demeanor, he frequently tempted her with money, saying things like, "Sweetie, come here and kiss me, and I'll give you 500,000."
"Uncle, do you think I'm such a shallow person?" Sweetie pretended to be arrogant, but the next moment, she still kissed him with a smack.
This money is so easy to make, why not take it?
The obsessive younger brother, a wolfhound, wanted to steal the older man's girlfriend. He showed off his muscular abs to seduce her, saying, "Sweetie, what's so good about an older man? He's too old and his body isn't what it used to be. I'm much younger than Fu Zhengting. Choose me, I'm super strong."
Fu Zhengting, consumed by jealousy, carried the little girl home, determined to prove himself through his actions.
Sweetie clutched her aching back, on the verge of tears. The old man was perfectly healthy; he was perfectly fine.

Ten years later, the scrap recycling system is activated. "Recycle ten batches of discarded pill residue, obtain ten Qi-Nourishing Pills." "Recycle a scrapped flying sword, obtain the low-grade magic weapon Flying Cloud Sword." "Recycle a dead Xuanlei Beast egg, obtain the spirit pet Xuanlei Beast." To others, he's just a money-giving boy, but who would have thought he's already the richest man in the cultivation world? Also known as (I Collect Scrap in Another World), (I'm a Scrap Tycoon in the Cultivation World), (Cultivation Begins with Collecting Scrap), (Becoming the Richest Man in the Cultivation World by Losing Money Collecting Scrap).
In the vast starry sea where cultivation civilizations intertwine with lost technologies, the old laws have crumbled. Zhou Changming returns from another realm, and with his advanced knowledge and unparalleled perseverance, he establishes an alliance of order from humble beginnings, vowing to carve out a sanctuary for his race in the chaotic universe.
However, maintaining the status quo is harder than starting a business. As the banners of the alliance spread across the south, a wider darkness followed. Cold, alien fleets sailed in from deep space, their cannons aimed at the sparks of order; ancient chaos whispered in the abyss of stars, attempting to devour all civilizations built by living organisms; while the aloof Tianyan Mountain coldly overlooked this nascent territory, its laws as inviolable as heavenly decrees.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yan, grandson of Zhou Changming, a young leader burdened with the path of "Order," gradually awakens amidst the baptism of blood and fire. He enlightens Gu Lei, wielding the power of judgment; he merges all laws, creating the light of "Order·Creation"; he delves into the forbidden "Abyss of Annihilation," exploring the secrets of the universe's origin.
On this ancient battlefield known as the "Wilderness of Ten Thousand Laws," the Alliance of Order is like a lone boat, facing raging waves from all directions. The clash between technology and supernatural powers, the duel between order and chaos, the choice between protection and destruction... an epic war concerning the survival of civilization has quietly begun.
