I'll spoil myself in this life

slik_wrist
Erica once believed she had married for love—until that love slowly revealed itself as something cruel and unrecognizable. Trapped in a violent and humiliating marriage, she endures years of abuse at the hands of a husband who strips away her dignity piece by piece, even turning her own home into a stage for her suffering. With no support from family and no escape in sight, the fragile hope she once held onto eventually dies, leaving behind only quiet resentment and a mind that begins to plan. When her husband brings home the one woman he truly loves—the one Erica could never replace—it becomes the final breaking point. Forced to watch the tenderness he never once showed her, Erica finally understands the truth of her existence: she was never more than a substitute. But instead of breaking, she chooses revenge. Seizing a rare moment alone with the woman, Erica sets a plan into motion—one designed to shatter her husband in the deepest way possible. Yet, in the midst of her calculated actions, she experiences something unexpected: a fleeting moment of genuine warmth and connection, something she had long believed was lost to her forever. That moment costs her everything. When her husband discovers them, his rage is absolute. The violence that follows ends Erica’s life—but not before she realizes that, even in her final moments, she had finally felt something real. As darkness consumes her, Erica expects the end. Instead, it is only the beginning. Awakening beyond death, with her memories intact and her regrets burning deeper than ever, Erica is given another chance—one where she will no longer be powerless, no longer be used, and no longer be denied the life she was robbed of. This time, she will take everything. She will spoil herself and not deny herself pleasure and anything she wanted.

System is My Manager

The system didn't give me a sword. It gave me a performance review. When the apocalypse arrived, most people got combat classes, mana cores, or at least a decent sword. Ethan Cole got a notification that read: You have been assigned: Operations Manager (Provisional) Your performance will be reviewed at regular intervals. Underperformance may result in demotion, resource reallocation, or termination. Good luck. No attack stat. No mana. No class skills that actually kill anything. What he got instead was a system that evaluated how well he managed people, resources, logistics, and organizational structure — and rewarded him accordingly. Turns out, in a world where everyone else is busy leveling their sword arm, someone still needs to figure out where the food comes from, why the chain of command keeps collapsing, and how to stop three different survivor factions from killing each other before the actual monsters get a turn. Ethan is not the hero. He's the guy making sure the hero has somewhere to sleep, something to eat, and a reason not to defect. Directive started as a refugee camp. Then it became a settlement. Then an organization. Then something the system itself couldn't quite classify. And the higher Ethan climbs — from Team Lead to Operations Manager to whatever comes next — the more he realizes: The system isn't a reward mechanic. It's a management structure. And management structures can be studied. Reverse-engineered. Gamed. The only question is what happens when the system notices you've figured out how it works. Progression fantasy with a white-collar twist. Organizational building, bureaucratic warfare, and the slow, deeply satisfying process of turning a collapsing world into something that actually functions. No chosen one. No secret bloodline. Just competence, structure, and the audacity to submit a better report than the apocalypse.

Honkai: The Romance System Only Shows Up After I Marry Mei

Twenty-two years after transmigrating, Su Ming had already confirmed this was a peaceful, everyday timeline—one with no Honkai at all. And he had long since become a winner in life: he’d married a rich, beautiful woman and was preparing to step into the role of CEO at ME Corporation, ready to reach the very peak of success. True, his wife’s white-haired, blue-eyed best friend—and another close friend with silver hair and gray eyes—both seemed to harbor certain feelings for him. But as a devoted, faithful man, Su Ming would never even consider being unfaithful. [Ding—] [Conditions met. “Degenerate Romance System” has been loaded. Please use whatever shameless methods you like to攻略 the heroine!] Sigh. Life was already pretty great as it was… but with a system, the possibilities were limitless. [Ding—] [Conditions met. “Classic Heroine Route System” has been loaded. Please use righteous, straightforward methods to win over the heroine!] Oh? Two systems? Interesting. Looks like I’ll have to let Mei down after all. Let me see what this is about! Wait—what the hell? There are dungeons too?! Don’t tell me this “romance system” is literally about clearing dungeon instances?! Damn it, what kind of rotten system is this? Hold on—are you kidding me?! Why is there Honkai energy resistance listed among the rewards?! Don’t tell me Honkai is about to happen?! This system is going to ruin me! No, please—give me back my relaxed, easygoing slice-of-life days!
