"All-knowing Lady Black Tower, I have a question for you."

Black Tower: Say it, but I'm not that machine head (Master Boshi).

What does it mean to like?

Black Tower: This... cough cough, why did you ask that question?

"Then let's change the question, Black Tower, what is dating?"

Black Tower: Is the goal to increase favorability?

Yu Qingtu, who is now nowhere to be found: I was here first!!

Tingyun: My benefactor, the Milky Way stretches endlessly, the stars are vast, and the Milky Way is boundless. Amidst the hustle and bustle of human life, would you be willing to draw a little closer to us?

Xi Lian: Hi, did you miss me? ♪

...

Fu Xuan gazed at Qing Que.

"Have you been lying to me all along?"

"My Lord, I really didn't."

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.”

One-line Summary: This subject welcomes Her Royal Highness to ascend the throne.

Theme: Be a self that cannot be defined by others.

Xiao Jin transmigrated into a melodramatic angst-filled novel as a cannon fodder side character.

A strange woman who was disabled, disguised herself as a man, and obsessed with the male lead.

None of that mattered though, because she wouldn’t survive more than three chapters.

The cannon fodder was the third prince of the current dynasty—an accomplished war hero with a fearsome reputation that spanned the empire. Enemy armies trembled at the sound of his name. He was known as the “Ghost Rakshasa.”

Yet this god of war was gravely injured and crippled, coughing up blood after taking just a few steps.

He also developed tuberculosis and hovered on the edge of death.

There was only one reason for this: it was an angst novel. The male lead was the Crown Prince, and the female lead was a fallen princess from a ruined nation.

The cannon fodder’s only role was to destroy the heroine’s country, then die beautifully.

At this moment, Xiao Jin stared at her ruined legs and the pool of blood she had just coughed up. Her mental state completely collapsed.

She kindly told the butler to prepare a coffin—she’d lie down soon.

Then the mechanical voice of a system rang out.

“Warning! Host’s life has only 48 hours remaining. Please complete the first task as soon as possible to extend your lifespan.”

“Task 1: Interrupt the wedding — forcibly marry the heroine who is about to wed the second male lead.”

“Friendly reminder: Only after completing all tasks and getting killed by the heroine, Chu Shao, will your life countdown stop and you can return to your original world.”

Xiao Jin was silent.

In her mind, she pictured a terminally ill cancer patient in a wheelchair dramatically crashing the heroine’s wedding.

“…”

Xiao Jin: “Can I choose death instead?”

System: “Nope, Host.”

⸻

After many twists and turns, Xiao Jin finally completed all the tasks.

That day, the sky was vast and clear, autumn geese flew south.

Chu Shao stepped over the corpses of cannon fodder and returned to her homeland, ascending the throne in glory.

The whole empire bowed before her.

Xiao Jin, in prison robes, sat in a wheelchair, escorted by imperial guards, looking up at the new empress.

She was content.

Everything was ready—now she just needed Chu Shao to kill her.

Empress Chu Shao, with unparalleled beauty, stood with twelve ceremonial tassels hanging from her crown. Sword in hand, she descended the steps and gazed gently at Xiao Jin.

Just when Xiao Jin thought she was about to be stabbed through the heart, Chu Shao raised her sword and slit the throat of the imperial guard beside her.

The rest of the guards turned pale and fell to their knees.

Chu Shao, hands dripping with blood, crouched in front of Xiao Jin. As though gazing up at a deity, she stared at her for a long time.

She placed the bloodied sword aside and said in a trembling voice:

“Don’t leave me.”

⸻

[IMPORTANT WARNINGS!!]

1. While the tone of the story is marked as lighthearted, some parts are definitely not.

2. Chapters 138–140 and 77–80 involve side couples and previous-generation characters. They’re melodramatic, not pure (non-virgin), and written to tie together the story’s logic—please read the author’s notes for context before purchasing.

⸻

How to Enjoy This Story:

1. This is a cathartic fantasy story set in an alternate world—historical accuracy is not the goal.

2. The female lead, Chu Shao, is a yandere and mentally unstable. The system doesn’t do much—Xiao Jin mostly survives by being awesome.

3. The ending has a twist, but it’s a happy one. Timeline explanations are in the author’s note for Chapter 175.

One-sentence summary: Don’t leave me.

Theme: Though physically broken, the will remains unyielding. Charge forward with courage.

Ten years ago, Chen Yu’s lover, Ji Xitong, died in a car accident.

The funeral was arranged entirely by Ji Xitong’s parents. Chen Yu could only attend as a close friend.

She didn’t shed a single tear—just stood there, holding a bouquet of chrysanthemums, staring numbly at Ji Xitong’s memorial portrait.

Friends and relatives urged her not to live in the past forever.

Each time, Chen Yu would nod and tell them she just needed a little more time.

But over the past ten years, a fresh bouquet of chrysanthemums always appeared at Ji Xitong’s grave every week, rain or shine.

Until the anniversary of Ji Xitong’s death in the tenth year.

Chen Yu gently brushed her fingers over the smiling dimple in the portrait and whispered, “This is the last time I’ll come see you.”

The fallen petals swayed gently in front of the black granite tombstone, carried far by the wind.

That day, as Chen Yu passed the intersection where the fatal accident had occurred, her car sped straight toward the wide river.

The death she had waited so long for did not come. When she awoke, she saw a figure she hadn’t seen in years—

Dim, blurred, cold... like a ghostly shadow under the moonlight.

Her knuckles curled slightly as she hoarsely murmured the name she had longed for day and night:

“…Ji Xitong.”

---

The flower language of chrysanthemums is: “I have forever lost my love.”

In the ten years since becoming a spirit, Ji Xitong had received countless chrysanthemums.

If death was an unchangeable fact, then she would be content to stay quietly by Chen Yu’s side from afar.

In those countless midnight dreams, she would gently clasp her fingers with hands as ethereal as air.

Also known as: Transmigrated into a Post-Apocalyptic Female Supporting Character? I'm Going to Get Close to the Female Lead

A seemingly cold but actually kind-hearted beauty x A pure and innocent cutie who tries to win herself over

Shen Li transmigrated into a book.

I transmigrated into a melodramatic post-apocalyptic novel.

Good news, there's a system; you can complete tasks and still survive.

Bad news: I've been transmigrated into a short-lived, cannon fodder, vicious female supporting character.

Thankfully, she still has the female lead to win over! It must be said, the female lead is truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and possesses both a cool and a sweet side—absolutely perfect!

She'll protect the heroine! Don't let any scumbags get close! She'll kick out any one who comes along, and kick out two if they come along!

The two supported each other all the way and finally forged a path in the apocalypse!

However, the dodder-like female lead she was promised doesn't seem to be quite the same as what she imagined.

That night, Gu Yanxi said: Lili, you'll never leave me in this life, right? If you leave me...

[Congratulations, host! The female lead's favorability has reached 100%!]

As a seasoned homebody, Luo Yan's daily routine at home consists of watching dramas, anime, joking about her favorite novels, and playing games! She's even honed her culinary skills. Therefore, Luo Yan has always been single.

A couple of days ago, a friend invited her out, but unfortunately, she was in a car accident on the way.

When she opened her eyes again, she thought there really was heaven.

A very beautiful woman looked at her with worried eyes and said, "You're finally awake."

Hmm...Miss, you're so beautiful!!!

"Who are you, Miss?"

Li Hanxue: "I'm your wife." Has this person... forgotten her?

Luo Yan: "..." That was quite sudden!

Next novel: "After Transmigrating into a Book, I Married the Divorced Female Lead," the male lead, a scumbag Alpha, divorced the female lead for the female supporting character. At this time, Zhao Xinyu, who was previously unknown, transmigrated into the book and also married the female lead. When the male lead discovers the female supporting character's true colors and tries to reconcile with the female lead, the female lead has already married Zhao Xinyu...

*** Good grief, the original owner slept with the female lead...?!

The crucial point is that the book didn't mention it was the original owner, and even more crucially, the female lead didn't sleep with anyone else! What the hell is going on...?!

Looking at the female lead Zhao Xinyu, he says, "I can take responsibility if necessary."

Female lead: "The kind of responsibility you take when you get a marriage certificate?"

Zhao Xinyu: "..."

Zhao Xinyu: "If you need it, I can also..."

The female lead looks at Zhao Xinyu and says, "Let's go, let's get the marriage certificate."

!!

Uh, why is the novel's development different from what I read?!

[Dual Female Leads + Transmigration into a Novel + Sweet Romance]

Because of a friend’s recommendation—and also because the name of a supporting female character in the story happened to be the same as hers—Fu Yu decided to open the novel. She ended up staying up all night without realizing it… and then, just her luck, she transmigrated into the book.

When Fu Yu woke up, she saw a stunning beauty. The woman introduced herself as Chu Yiqing. At first, Fu Yu thought it was just someone with the same name, but to her shock, the woman was actually the villainous female side character from the novel. The book described her as extremely yandere—always wanting to lock Fu Yu away in her little dark room. Fu Yu couldn’t wait to get back to the real world.

But as she looked at the wronged beauty before her, Fu Yu couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t quite right.

Fu Yu: Beautiful lady… who exactly are you?

Chu Yiqing (aggrieved): I’m Chu Yiqing… your lover.

"This body is the most noble and precious in the mortal world." "I shall hold the supreme power of the world. This body has promised my subjects a dream, an unchanging 'eternity' for thousands of generations." "I truly can do anything! I just can't cook!" Gazing at the elegant purple figure in the mirror, Lei Dianying, who had traveled through time as the God of Thunder and awakened his past life memories after more than three thousand years, recalled his actions over the years with some embarrassment. His remarks, reminiscent of those in the later stages of his chuunibyou, worried deeply about Inazuma's mess. Then, her cheat bar ended. [Ding! Ruler chat group unlocked!] Lei Dianying: ??? [Ding! Future Prime Minister Fujiwara Chika, Nazarick's empty-nest old bones, and Rock King Morax have joined the chat group!] Lei Dianying: ...I understand the logic. The latter two are also rulers. But, Fujiwara Chika... her? The future Prime Minister? What kind of world line is this?! [Ding! Archbishop Candidate Otto, Archbishop Otto of Heavenly Destiny, and Future Archbishop Theresa of Heavenly Destiny have joined the chat group! You're raising poison here, are you the Three-Life Buddha?!

(Yandere + Double Rebirth + Forced Love + Seduction & Possession + Sweet Spoiling + Mutual Purity)

As the daughter of the Duke Who Guards the Nation, Su Wanqing was supposed to marry the Crown Prince and live a peaceful life.

But on the day of her wedding, she was instead carried into the bed of the Legitimate Eldest Princess...

> “Wanwan, whether it’s today or from now on, you can only belong to me~”

Su Wanqing tried to run, but with her delicate and frail body, she couldn’t resist the princess’s forceful demands.

The next morning, when she awoke with difficulty, her body covered in traces of passion, she heard the shrill voice of a eunuch outside the palace gates:

> “Demoness Su Wanqing, defied the imperial decree, betrayed her husband, seduced the princess—

For these crimes, she is to be punished with poisoned wine. Her father, the Duke Who Guards the Nation, is to be exiled to the southern frontier!”

Perhaps Heaven took pity on her—Su Wanqing was reborn, returning to the time before the emperor bestowed the marriage.

This time, she swore to rewrite the bloody fate of her past life.

What she didn’t know, however, was that the yandere princess had also been reborn—with her memories intact, and her obsession with Su Wanqing even deeper...

The rating is low because it just came out~ A lighthearted slice-of-life story featuring two female leads: [A positive, ambitious, poor, and cheerful cat who has become a spirit x A seemingly aloof and cold CEO]. Working during the day, being a cat at night, and the CEO insists on taking care of me—what am I going to do? Jian Ci is a little white cat who has become a spirit, but she's currently a broke college student. Lately, she's been very busy: working as a waitress in a restaurant during the day, a driver at night, a cashier at a convenience store in the early morning, and delivering food on weekends. Until one day, she finds a drunken, aloof, and elegant woman on the streets. The woman asks her to lead the way home. Jian Ci: Me? A cat? From then on, a series of chance encounters begins. Driving at night, the car door opens, and it's this woman again! On her third night shift, the mature woman, in a bad mood, came to buy alcohol. She raised an eyebrow, staring at her employee badge: "What a coincidence?" On her fourth delivery run, she bumped into the mature woman at the hospital… Jian Ci: "…Excuse me, are you following me?" The mature woman: "That's what I should be asking you." A few days later, the young woman personally came to her door, handing her a contract: "My cat wants to learn backflips, monthly salary 100,000, room and board included." Jian Ci: "???" Hesitating for even a second is disrespectful to money! The cat can't do backflips? I'll learn! Su Mo's perspective: One day, Su Mo got drunk while signing a contract at a hotel. Being a law-abiding citizen, she called a designated driver, only to find it was the young woman who had just served her food! For a period afterward, Su Mo encountered this young woman in various completely different places, until one day, Su Mo watched the security camera footage of her cat, who was out partying during the day and only appeared at night, sneakily pushing open the snack cabinet. Su Mo laughed: "Gotcha, you little liar."
