Mingshu was so addicted to a novel that she forgot to eat and sleep; she had taken to heart the plight of the villainous emperor within, whose fate was appallingly tragic! After angrily writing a thousand-word negative review, she woke up to find herself transmigrated into the book, becoming the freshly minted, unfortunate Noble Consort of the Tyrant. Confronted with the living and breathing emperor before her, Mingshu's mind was a whirlwind— Isn't this my kid? 〣( ºΔº )〣 In the eyes of everyone else, the emperor was bloodthirsty by nature, ruthless and cruel, a Living Yama whose very name sent shivers down spines! Through Mingshu's eyes, the emperor was: afraid of the dark, terrified of thunder, loved to act spoiled, lacked a sense of security, was inherently kind, and had a life-or-death need for sweets... What kind of supreme cutie is this?! Wahhh, baby, mama loves you!! In order to change her son's dreadful ending, Mingshu, overflowing with maternal love, transformed into a child-protecting demon! She brazenly confronted the Empress Dowager, furiously scolded court officials, and fought imperial consorts with her bare hands... But wait, why were the kid's glances at her becoming more and more peculiar? —— As a child, Si Chu always dreamt of a young girl who taught him to read and write with patience, tended to his wounds with care, and gently soothed him to sleep on every stormy night.

Just when he lamented the world's boredom and contemplated destroying everything, He came across a pair of bright, sparkling, talking eyes. With a gloomy and obsessive look, the emperor's lips curled into a cold smile: Fine, you've come to me of your own volition. —— Everyone knew: The emperor detested beautiful, delicate, and arrogant women most of all. No one knew how long the dainty Noble Consort would last. ＊ When you visit this world, remember to take a look at the sun.

In the greed-filled world of corporate empires and magic knights, Min Jae was a king in business, with pockets so deep he could drown in them. That is, until his life deemed his playthrough unfair and gave him a red card. Poison was his family's best friend, as everyone had at least tasted it once, not twice because they never could. Death was never on his calendar, neither was an offer for a divine gig. Enter the Deity of Stories, a celestial being with a fetish for plot twists, who offers Min Jae a deal he can't refuse: become her divine cameraman. No, not the kind with a lens, but one who records the tales of mortals. In return, he gets a second shot at life, in a world where his dearly departed parents are alive and well, ready to dote on him from birth. Reborn as Judge (because “Min Jae 2.0” sounded too dull), he quickly realizes this new life is no gift. This steampunk utopia, filled with airships, clockwork gadgets, and an alarming lack of Wi-Fi, thrives on manipulation. But who needs the internet when you have a divine camera and the sharp mind to control it all? Judge isn’t just here to record stories; he’s here to write them, casting himself as the mastermind behind every twist and turn. Armed with his divine powers, he navigates complex schemes, power-hungry nobles, and ruthless industrialists, all while keeping his ultimate goal hidden: to ascend to godhood and rewrite his own fate. Of course, he generally makes a glorious mess of things, all while trying to keep his dear parents blissfully unaware of his less-than-angelic schemes. But as the stakes rise and the Deity of Stories watches his every move, Judge must tread carefully. Can he manipulate his way to the top, or will he become just another character in someone else’s plot twist? --- Just a quick disclaimer: The book steers clear of any unwanted adult stuff. However, it does feature a potentially disturbing amount of violence—enough to make you wonder about the author's mental health. So proceed with caution—and maybe a shield!

[Abstinenter Anwalt + Beginnt bitter, endet süß + Comeback einer übergewichtigen Frau + Emotionale Achterbahn + Ankunft eines entzückenden Kindes] Vor ihrer Inhaftierung war sie Claire Caldwell, die einzige Tochter eines wohlhabenden Geschäftsmanns, übergewichtig und unsicher, die ihren Erbin-Status aufgab und demütig um Liebe bettelte. Nach ihrer Entlassung wurde sie zur atemberaubenden Schönheit und aufstrebenden Star-Journalistin Jean Ellison, schlank und fesselnd. Von wessen Liebe lebte sie, und wer war derjenige, der sie persönlich ins Gefängnis schickte? In der Öffentlichkeit ist Justin Holden ein kalter und edler Spitzenanwalt, der in seinen vielen Berufsjahren nie einen Fall verloren hat. Im Privaten trinkt er sich jede Nacht in den Schlaf und stellt sich vor, dass Claire Caldwell nicht im Gefängnis gestorben ist und noch immer an seiner Seite ist. Jean Ellisons Erscheinung stürzt ihn Tag und Nacht ins Chaos; sie ähnelt seiner verstorbenen Freundin so sehr. Die Zuneigung zwischen ihnen war immer einseitig und von ihr erzwungen. Ihr erstes Mal war, um einer Verwarnung wegen Verstoßes gegen die Vorschriften durch den Wohnheimaufseher zu entgehen, wobei sie die Nacht in seiner Anwaltskanzlei für Praktikanten verbrachte. Das ganze Mädchen errötete; wer war von ihr hingerissen? "Wenn ich kaltherzig und gefühllos wäre, warum wäre ich dann im Morgengrauen schlaflos?" "Herr Holden, Sie sind schon lange aus dem Spiel." Ja, sie haben ein gemeinsames Kind.

The world is torn in two—North and South locked in a bitter war that has lasted for centuries. Hatred runs deep, and generations grow up not to dream of peace, but to master the art of battle. Ryon, a young mage from the North, meets a fiery end on the battlefield, consumed by a devastating magical fireball. But death is not the end. Ryon awakens—reborn in the South, a land where men are believed to be extinct. He inhabits the body of another boy named Ryon, cursed and fragile, surrounded by hundreds of fierce and powerful sisters in a matriarchal empire. Before he can adjust, a mysterious system activates, offering him a twisted chance at survival: • Within 7 days, make 3 women your harem wives, or perish. • Help 30 lost virgin souls discover “the D,” or lose more time and power. • Win the heart of the Southern Matriarch, or lose everything. To survive, Ryon must juggle deadly politics, magical duels, and the complicated affections of warrior queens, cursed priestesses, and yandere generals. As he fights to break the curse and rewrite his fate, Ryon’s choices will shape not only his survival, but the future of a world torn apart by war. Will he outwit fate, build a legendary harem, and uncover the truth behind his rebirth? Or will he burn again—this time, heart and soul?

Winner of WPC #308 Bronze --- I was a regular guy. I had a regular job. A regular family. And, although I was still a bachelor, I had been in several relationships, although none of them got far enough to lead to marriage. Then, I was stabbed in the back. I didn't even get to see their face before everything blacked out. 'Why was I killed? I just lived a normal life!' Then, I woke up in a baby's body. At the age of 10, when we were finally getting our status windows, I suddenly realized something. When I looked at my twin sister, I almost choked from shock. 'Fuck, don't tell me I got reincarnated into "that" novel!' 'And furthermore, I'm the main villain, the villainous brother!' This is the story of my quest for a lazy life, one where I didn't have to do anything. I just wanted to live a lavish life as the son of the duke, my sister could do whatever she wanted and save the world, and I wouldn't interfere.
