I Took Over the Female Lead’s Entire Harem (As Her Stand-in)

Su Yuhan, a modern-day hustle queen, had finally saved up enough for retirement and was ready to just lie flat, but she suffered a sudden heart attack from excessive overwork the day before retiring and transmigrated into a certain urban, group-pampered novel... as the female lead's stand-in. Because the original owner had similar looks and disposition to the female lead, Jiang Yuxi, she was targeted by several of the female lead's lonely simps and spare tires while the latter was abroad for further studies. She was forced to sign a contract, becoming a despicable stand-in in the eyes of the world who got ahead using her face. Later, she lost herself under their tender offensives, acted out dramatically, and was ultimately kicked out with nothing to her name right before the female lead’s return, dying a violent death on the streets. After transmigrating, Su Yuhan immediately wanted to run away, but the contract termination fee was too high, she was saddled with huge debts, and she had a critically ill grandmother at home in need of life-saving money. Su Yuhan: “...” Rolling up her sleeves, she got straight to work. No one can stop me from making money! In just a few short months, she became... The leader of an online comment army, hailed as the divine nemesis of the paparazzi; A mysterious financial tycoon who could shake up the business world with a snap of her fingers; An expert antique appraiser who exposed fakes and cracked down on smugglers; A treasure of an influencer, proficient in multiple intangible cultural heritage techniques; ... Just as she was thriving in various industries, the several Sugar Daddies who treated her as a stand-in were fighting tooth and nail over her, splurging cash for the rights to her vacation time. "One extra dinner together, I'll add one hundred thousand." "A one-day trip to the amusement park during the holidays, I'll add two hundred thousand." "One all-nighter to boost her online rankings, I'll add two hundred thousand." "Attending a high-society banquet together, I'll add two hundred thousand." "One overtime tutoring session for final exams, I'll add two hundred thousand" "..." Su Yuhan: Don't fall for me, it's a lost cause. My one true love is the God of Wealth!

Apocalypse: Zombie King is the Female Lead's Younger Sister

Zerra Sylvaris, a celestial nine tailed fox and disciple of a famous celestial ancient beast, was transmigrated as a zombie in an apocalyptic world. She became a mindless creature with rotting flesh and an unpleasant smell. After spending most of her life solely based on zombie instinct, she emerged as the zombie king. Thus, she gradually remembered who she was. She fought to survive, fighting against superpower humans who were trying to get rid of her. She wanted to go back to her celestial world. Until she found out that the world was actually just a novel. She was a cannon fodder, the temporary zombie king before another one replaced her. The female lead was her sister, and the scumbag male lead was her fiance! And she, the annoying younger sister, was merely a stepping stone to bring their relationship closer. After countless reincarnations, she found it hopeless to go against them. Her ending was always the same, definite death.  However… she looked at the male lead in confusion. This time around, everything was weird. To quickly end this round of reincarnation, she intended to go directly jumping to the densely packed zombies, but he stopped her. Instead, his increasingly intense gaze frightened her! In her process to become a zombie king, she thought that her flesh would turn like those rotten zombies, but this time, she awakened special powers instead. Not only she kept her original fair skin, she also could control zombies. The best thing? Her supplies for several reincarnations magically remained intact on this life! It was just that, she sometimes turned into a fox. And the male lead, coveting her soft fur and cuteness... always kidnapped her. (Content warning: gore and violence) P.S. The male lead might not be who you think he is. The author loves doting and devoted male leads ~

Holding You Through The Strom(BL)

Title: Holding You Through the Storm Lu Zhen has never believed in love. To him, attachment is nothing more than a temporary illusion—something that always ends in betrayal, abandonment, or pain. So he keeps his distance, builds his walls, and never lets anyone get close enough to see what’s beneath. Until Lin Xu. Warm, patient, and quietly persistent, Lin Xu enters his life without force—just presence. He notices the things no one else does. The forced smiles. The silence behind Lu Zhen’s coldness. And instead of walking away, he stays. At first, Lu Zhen doesn’t understand it. Then he gets used to it. And before he realizes it… he starts needing it. But for someone who has only ever known pain, love feels more like a threat than a comfort. So when things begin to matter too much— when Lin Xu becomes too important— Lu Zhen does the only thing he knows how to do. He pushes him away. Hard. Left with nothing but silence and regret, Lu Zhen is forced to face a truth he’s been running from his entire life: Some people don’t leave because they want to… they leave because you make them. When fate brings them face to face again, Lin Xu is no longer the same person who stayed without question. And this time, love isn’t something Lu Zhen can take for granted. To have him back, he’ll have to learn something he never did before— How to stay. How to trust. How to love without breaking everything he touches. Because some storms don’t just destroy you… some force you to rebuild. And this time— Lu Zhen doesn’t want to face it alone. Tagline: Through pain, through fear, through everything—you are mine.

This Extra Hates Bad Endings

Matt is an ordinary young college student with an addiction to the pages of The Golden Weaver’s First Apprentice. This novel wasn’t just a hobby for him, it was his lifeline, the one thing that kept him feel alive when the rest of the world felt unbearably dim. Page after page, chapter after chapter, he followed the journey of the Finster, a character he cared for more fiercely than anyone else, even his family or himself. When the long-awaited final chapter was released, Matt devoured it with trembling anticipation. The writing was flawless, every thread tied together, every arc resolved with masterful precision. It made sense. And yet, when he reached the final chapter, his world collapsed. It was a tragedy. A selfless sacrifice. One life given to save countless others. A "Bitter-Sweet" ending, the community called it. Matt was devastated. He raged at a world—both fictional and real—that could demand such a price from a character he loved so deeply. “I hate bad endings,” he whispered through clenched teeth. As though responding to his grief, his phone flickered. A soft light bloomed across the screen, forming words he had never seen before, yet somehow he understood it. How do you think it should have ended? Stunned, confused, barely conscious of his own voice, Matt answered from the depths of his heart: “I would be there for him. I’d support him, be his anchor—his start and his release. His companion. His ally. I owe him at least that much.” The light paused for a long, breathless moment. Then it replied: Don’t fail this time. And Matt’s world began to change.
