[A world of misery, villains all around / double lunatics + double heroines + no moral restraints + power over the court + tragic ending. Don’t be fooled by the title or the opening.]

In this world, there is no right or wrong—only people doing what must be done from their own position.

She once felt her heart stir, but it was only that—a fleeting feeling.

One plotted for a lifetime, yet died with hatred, her great vengeance unfulfilled.

The other lived unloved, forever stripped of freedom, trapped within the imperial city.

A deeply scheming, deranged Grand Tutor vs a black-bellied, peerless, deranged princess.

Qi Zhao Qian was a princess who could not see the light of day, raised in the cold palace since childhood, with no one caring whether she lived or died.

Within the imperial city, the bricks and tiles were cold—and so were human hearts.

Being bullied, cursed, and beaten was routine.

Often, her elder sister would step on her, grinding her into the dirt like worthless mud.

Until one day, a slender, elegant hand gripped her chin and leaned close to whisper by her ear:

“You are more suited to that throne than she is.”

In that moment, Qi Zhao Qian’s gaze fell upon the imperial throne—and upon the world itself.

A single imperial edict pulled her into the vortex. She understood what Yun Yu Bo’s words meant: that she was more obedient than the eldest princess, more suitable to be called a puppet, and far easier to control.

But she forgot—she was no caged bird. How could she resign herself to being a puppet for life, a powerless chess piece forever?

(Everyone said the eldest princess was destined to ascend the throne. But on that day, in wind and driving rain, all the court officials knelt in submission as Qi Zhao Qian walked into the great hall, step by step, carrying her elder sister’s head in her hand, and sat upon the dragon throne…)

“If my dear sister can sit on this throne, why can’t I?”

Xi Zhaoyue, a little white flower, was the illegitimate daughter of the Xi family. She grew up in an orphanage and awakened her talent as a guide at the age of sixteen. However, she was a useless person with only D-level mental power.

However, the good-for-nothing was lucky enough to have a high degree of compatibility with the youngest major general in the empire, and was able to marry the major general, who was the dream lover of the entire galaxy.

But on the day of the wedding, Xiao Baihua died, and Qin Zhaoyue, a soul cultivator from the cultivation world, was reborn into Xi Zhaoyue's body.

A virgin who had lived for hundreds of years suddenly became a married woman. She thought she could bear the title of a major general's wife in name only and devote herself to cultivation and refining, but why did her body suddenly become hot?

What? A guide can be passionate?!

Must be marked by a sentinel to survive the estrus period?!

Xi Zhaoyue stared at a certain major general with her eyes fixed on him. "Well, Major General, could you lie down and get some sleep?"

Major General: “..........”

What about the sentinel's mental riot?

Is it only she, a guide who has a high degree of compatibility with the major general, who can guide his disordered mental power?

But she is just a useless person with a mental strength of D!

Major General: "You are already asleep. Madam, do you only intend to enjoy your rights and not fulfill your obligations?"

Xi Zhaoyue: “..........”

This is a story about a soul cultivator and weapon refining master who is reborn into the interstellar space, improves his mental strength, builds mechas, heals his Sentinel partner, and together they conquer the sea of stars.

[Double Female Lead HE] [Entertainment Industry Setting – Do Not Enter If You Dislike This Genre]

At first, Qin Wan thought that the feelings she had were just a means to an end.

But when she heard the sound of her own heartbeat, she realized she was wrong.

She wanted to get close to her, to work hard to be near her—

But the other woman said she didn’t care about such feelings at all.

The conversation ended. She ran away.

She thought her first love would end just like that,

Yet she couldn’t tear her gaze away from her.

He Qing had been alone for so many years.

She thought her life would remain that way—until she met Qin Wan.

She knew Qin Wan’s intentions weren’t pure,

But still, she couldn’t suppress the racing of her heart.

She saw Qin Wan as a beam of light—

A light that was initially mixed with impurities and dimness,

But grew ever purer and more radiant.

The moon shines in the night only because of the sun.

She was the one ray of light in He Qing’s long, dark night,

Like the moon, guiding her toward her one true direction.

“I don’t want just liking—I want love.

Love that’s eternal and unchanging.”

“Can you give me that?”

[Beautiful and Sober Saleswoman & Dark Real Estate CEO]

Men and women flirt with each other, pull each other to the extreme, and meet their evenly matched opponents.

At the door of the bar restroom, Su Yu borrowed a light from Shen Yan. Su Yu lit the cigarette skillfully and exhaled a puff of smoke. The smoke lingered on her cold and beautiful face, and her squinting fox eyes looked seductive and wild.

It makes people want to conquer it.

Shen Yan's gaze lingered on her for a moment, the corners of his lips curled up, "That's wild enough, I like it."

Su Yu raised an eyebrow: "Since you like it, why don't you come to my house tonight?"

One day Su Yu said, "Shen Yan, I feel like our values don't align."

In the dark night, Shen Yan held a cigarette in his mouth, with an uninhibited smile on his face, "I think it's a good match."

Everyone who sees Su Yu for the first time thinks she is a typical cold and beautiful woman.

No, Su Yu only appears cold and beautiful on the outside, but in fact she is an extremely fickle woman on the inside.

Only Shen Yan understands her and knows what she wants.

He knew she was pretending to be reserved, and she knew he had ulterior motives.

[HE – Happy Ending]

The first time Jiang Cen met Mu Qingyu, she thought the girl was very obedient—so obedient it made her want to destroy her.

So the second time they met, she extended an olive branch:

"I'll pay your tuition and living expenses. Be with me—how about it?"

After getting together with Jiang Cen, Mu Qingyu finally learned what it meant to be “demanding.”

"I want to eat grapes. Feed me."

"I want to go out. Carry me."

"I want... you."

She always treated her wealthy patron with quiet caution.

Mu Qingyu thought Jiang Cen was irritable, moody, and hard to deal with—but at times, she also found her fragile and vulnerable.

Even someone who wouldn't so much as flinch after being beaten to the point of dislocated limbs…

…became furious when she saw Mu Qingyu get a small cut on her arm from an enemy who had come seeking revenge.

Overbearing and ruthless, Jiang Cen stepped on the opponent's head and told Mu Qingyu:

"Forget it. Don’t be with me anymore."

But those usually lazy, indifferent eyes…

…were filled with reluctance.

[Ancient High-Martial World • No System • Game World • Villain MC • Pure Evil]

He wakes up in the body of a degenerate gambler, and from that moment on, begins a life of unrepentant sin.

Morals? None.

Conscience? Gone.

He's done every vile thing imaginable.

In a twisted death game where power feeds on desire and obsession, he has only one goal:

Slaughter every last trace of human will.

Jiang Ci and Li Chenglin had only met a few times, yet on the day Jiang Ci was sentenced to death, the always composed and dignified Princess Royal lost her cool for the first time. She risked the crime of treason by leading troops to storm the imperial prison, and in front of countless witnesses, she called Jiang Ci by her childhood name and pulled her into her embrace.

Only then did Jiang Ci realize: she had a face that Li Chenglin could never forget.

After being reborn, Jiang Ci proceeded with caution, deliberately drawing close to Li Chenglin.

She intended to use this face to confuse her, deceive her, seduce her. As long as she could achieve her goal, she didn’t care about being just a substitute.

She incited her to rebel and seize the throne—but when Li Chenglin insisted on making her Empress, Jiang Ci faked her death in an attempt to escape.

What she didn’t expect was that Li Chenglin would descend into madness, refusing to bury her, hugging her “corpse” to sleep every night, and whispering in her ear with near insanity:

> “A’Ci, since you’ve provoked me, don’t even think of escaping. Even in death, you will forever belong to me.”
