"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

Rong Zhi was switched at birth and lived in the countryside for eighteen years, her family was poor, and she dropped out of high school to work. At eighteen, her biological parents came to her door, saying she was the daughter of the Rong Family in Beijing and came to take her back to Beijing. Above her were uncles watching over the family inheritance, below were biological siblings. She was warned by her parents: Learn the rules from your brothers and sisters, don't cause trouble, the Rong Family can't afford to lose face because of you.

Looking again at the long-haired woman in a dark green cheongsam standing in front of him, barefoot on his shoes, "I am a princess, and it's none of your business." This familiar face, this familiar arrogant tone... Everyone was stunned, their eyes open wide in disbelief: Third Master Rong?! 【Front-stage female disguised as male + slight sci-fi + no logic + feel-good novel + 1v1 single couple】

Excerpt Aristia could not help but stare at the platinum blonde a few steps in front of her. She seemed to sparkle with a glow that drew people in around her. Something that only happened to the main character of a novel. [Is that stupid book sure I'm the female lead?] She thought, her jaws almost going slack. At this point, she was sure she was deluding herself— or the book was deluding her. She didn't know why, but she already disliked the girl. [This is definitely not jealousy.] She rubbed her brows, watching how the innocent, naive looking girl exuding female lead aura was being flocked around already by others despite her low status. "F*ck, I'm really in deep shit!" — Aristia Andrews had just returned home from work and prepared to go to sleep, when she was given a novel. Nothing strange about that though, huh? But just after she had completed the novel, she woke up to find herself tossed into a whole new world. Taken from her world and the life she deemed perfect, and tossed into a not-so-ideal world. She becomes Aristia Amberale, the beloved five year old daughter of the only Grand Duke and Imperial Prince of the kingdom, said to be loved by all in the kingdom. Now part of royalty, she has to get accustomed to living in a backward world of Kings and Queens, Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Viscounts and Barons. Just the titles and hierarchy were enough to make her smart head spin. With beautiful and loving parents and relatives, a hopelessly adorable younger brother who just might be a sis-con, loyal-to-the-death servants, and a smart brain, join Aristia as she enjoys eating and making delicious cuisines, forms unique friendships, and creates successful businesses. However, she finds all is not as she thought it was; there just might be something bigger than she expected that the book did not reveal— something that could turn her well balanced world upside down. First of all, she discovers that her character is actually hated and not loved. Then, she finds out she's not really the female lead. Now... she has a lot of mysteries surrounding her to unfold, secrets to uncover, and a sad fate to avoid. But... "Hey, why are you looking at me with those eyes? The female lead is over there." "You, stop following me around, will you? You're supposed to hate me!" "Stay back, all of you! What's wrong with you?!" But most importantly... why are these obviously important characters not leaving her alone? And why was the cold, unloving soon-to-be Emperor husband of that powerful Empire paying attention to her instead of the female lead? It wasn't supposed to be like this...

Title: Zhuangzi's Butterfly "Once, Zhuangzi dreamed he was a butterfly. When he woke, he could not tell if he was a man who dreamed of being a butterfly, or a butterfly now dreaming he was a man." Two thousand years in the future, this ancient question becomes humanity's last weapon. Earth belongs to the machines—artificial intelligences that rule through logic and force. But for all their power, the AI lack one thing they desperately crave: true consciousness, the spark of qi that separates the living from the programmed. When the human resistance discovers this existential weakness, they launch a sophisticated scam to convince the machines that consciousness can be found in the fluid realities of the multiverse, where identity shifts like Zhuangzi's dream, and no single reality can claim precedence over any other: all are equally authentic. Guided by the mysterious Lingzhe—beings who understand that mind, not logic, birthed the universe—a handful of rebels must navigate worlds where they are never certain who they truly are. In this evolutionary war between soul and machine, there can only be one winner.

In a world where every person hides behind invisible masks of fear, deceit, and desire, Yeon Seojin is the one cursed, or gifted to see them. To Seojin, people’s hidden selves take shape as fleeting visages of flame and shadow, masks that reveal what they truly are beneath their faces. Born into the bloodline of the White Mask, the latest heir of centuries-old legacy of vigilantes who shaped nations through violence and control, Seojin has ran from inheritance. They’ve refused the title, the power, and the chains of destiny that come with it. Even as Seojin tries to build an ordinary life with their new identity, the masks begin to appear again, on strangers, on enemies, on friends. Each vision drags them closer to the world they left behind: a world of underground wars, fractured loyalties, and a legacy that once promised salvation but delivered ruin. When the remnants of the past rise from the shadows, they are forced to confront the truth buried beneath generations of myth. Seojin must either destroy the masks by themselves, or continue letting them shape this world. ------ Sorry for the inconsistent updates, I spend alot of time thinking about where the story should go and I'm quite busy with school life.

I am the Deathless black snake, residing in Ursus—a young and promising immortal. I possess neither the overwhelming power of a Feranmuts, nor the corrupting presence of a Collapsals, nor the limitless adaptability of the seaborn. Though I carry strange memories, I pale in comparison to the ancient elders who have lived for millennia. My only dream is to die peacefully. I adopted a foolish child who constantly goes against me, always trying to drag me into dying alongside her. I have a nerdy pen pal who enjoys sending me landscape paintings, though I can’t help but feel she’s completely out of touch with the times. I once met a silly hunter who asked if I wanted to return to the sea with her. I declined—something inside her unsettles me, and I despise tentacles. I’ve financially supported a young, promising entrepreneur who insists on working as a guard officer despite having her own company. How strange—have these short-lived species grown so introspective? Lately, I’ve heard about a shady medical company employing both children and the elderly. If I ever catch them, it won’t end well. And for some reason, my female characters have been dying off inexplicably. Even women I know would beat me up whenever I use a female character, despite my confidence in my own taste. An immortal like me, kind and gentle, should be allowed to die peacefully.

The final battle between humans and demons was called the “Night of the End.” The five heroes perished together with the Demon Emperor amidst the ruins of the Holy Capital. Seven years later, the wind swept across the scorched land, and a strange serpent-girl awoke at the edge of the ruined city—her palm bore the Soul-Hunting Seal, glowing once more. The five heroes who had died had never truly vanished. They were reborn in the broken world, in different identities, with different genders. Some became the masterminds of the demons, some became hunted beasts, and some lost their memories, remembering only the white light of that night. When old comrades meet again in this new world, will they raise their swords once more, or finally understand their enemies? —The End has not yet come. The story is only just beginning.
