[Blurb]

Yan An became emperor at eight, then worked himself to death.

If he gets another life, he absolutely wants to be someone who can take it easy!

But when he wakes up again, he's one of the heirs to a top-tier wealthy family?

And he's the one with the best chance of inheriting everything???

The previous occupant was fluent in several languages at six, and mastered music, chess, calligraphy, and painting at seven.

He graduated from a top university at eight, and at nine... At nine, Yan An, who had sworn to be a couch potato, transmigrated into his body.

Yan An: ???

Terrifying!

From then on, Yan An does everything he can to escape the title of most promising heir and devotes himself to eating, drinking, and having fun!

Choosing housekeepers for the heirs

The other heirs: Our housekeeper should come from a powerful family and be personally capable.

Yan An's requirements: Good-looking and able to eat and have fun with me.

The other heirs: Does he have some ulterior motive???

Yan An: I don't, don't make things up, and don't drag me into it!

Little by little, the family, who had high hopes for Yan An, realizes that their most promising heir is a lost cause!

Yan An gets his wish and is kicked out of the family, but his assets are confiscated, leaving him with not a cent!

Watching a televised talent show, he turns his attention to his handsome, presentable personal housekeeper.

"Why don't you make your debut and earn some money?"

The housekeeper smiles and nods. "As you wish, Young Master."

To make his debut, he'd need a company, right? Yan An starts one for his housekeeper.

And a company needs employees, right? Yan An hires some.

And with employees... Wait, wait, what's going on? How did our company become the best in the industry?

Then bad news arrives from Yan An's family: the heirs are dying unexpectedly or being framed to death.

And somehow he's become the sole heir???

"Young Master, here's your salary for this month." The housekeeper stands before him respectfully, a bank card in hand.

Yan An rubs his lower back and turns away. "Take it away!"

"If you don't want your salary, is there something else you'd like?" The housekeeper leans closer.

Yan An grits his teeth and calls the housekeeper by his name from his previous life. "Zhan Yan!"

The housekeeper smiles. "Your Majesty, why don't we settle the account for all those decades you left me behind?"

Reborn: The Hated One Wants It All Back

Jiang Yun never understood why his parents and family doted on an adopted son they had picked up outside.

Until the moment he died, when he finally understood.

The boy wasn't an adopted son at all. He was the child his philandering father had with his stepmother behind his birth mother's back. Even the older brother he'd thought was his own was one of their so-called fruits of love.

They thought their precious darling had been denied his place as the young master by this "burden from his father's previous marriage." So from the time Jiang Yun was little, they used every means to control him, turning him into a dog for the Jiang family, one they could summon and dismiss at will.

Reborn, he returns to the day his "mother" forced him to kneel in the downpour as punishment for scoring fifty points higher than the "adopted son" on an exam.

"Jiang Yun, why can't you learn to let your younger brother have his way?"

"You scored fifty points more than him. How can you expect him to hold his head up in class?"

"I'm very disappointed in you."

He stands in the rain, watching the family of four live happily in a villa owned by his birth mother.

Enjoy these days while they last, because they won't last much longer!

Then a black business car pulls up beside him, soaked to the skin. A hand with distinct knuckles reaches out from inside. "Want to come with me?"

Help, I Transmigrated into a Paranoid, Sickly Beauty

Lu Zhou transmigrates into a power-up novel, becoming the paranoid villain who loves the protagonist hopelessly, harasses him time and again, and wants to destroy him when he can't have him.

The villain meets a terrible end. After the protagonist rises to power, the paranoid villain can't control him and is killed by him.

Lu Zhou: Help...

Facing the protagonist, whom he's tied to a chair, lips tightly pressed together, eyes blazing with fury, and clothes in tatters, Lu Zhou comes up with a plan.

He picks up some fruit and puts on a kindly expression. "You look like you've lost a lot of weight lately. Your clothes are even... bursting at the seams. Let me feed you some fruit!"

The protagonist turns away. "I don't eat durian!"

Lu Zhou: "Oh, it's delicious."

After that, Lu Zhou decides to hand the company over to the protagonist and stay home, living the easy life and trying to get healthy so he can live to a ripe old age. But the protagonist keeps finding excuses to bother him.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Qin says he doesn't know how to handle this document and wants you to come to the office and teach him."

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Qin says he's afraid of going to tonight's banquet alone and wants you to go with him."

"Mr. Lu..."

Lu Zhou: What is he after?

Qin Yu never expected to be reborn at the very beginning, back when Lu Zhou was tormenting him. He'd planned to act decisively and go straight after Lu Zhou: make him bankrupt, take everything from him, and let him find out what it meant to be a prisoner!

But he never expected Lu Zhou to seem like a completely different person.

He trusts Qin Yu with the entire company and doesn't interfere at all?

He no longer restricts Qin Yu's movements and doesn't care who he sees outside?

He's even looking for other men online?

One day, Lu Zhou comes home, and Qin Yu grabs him and pulls him into the same little room as before, then shuts the door.

"W-what are you doing?" Lu Zhou asks in alarm.

Qin Yu's eyes burn. "Didn't you say you only loved me, that you were possessive and would tie me up rather than let me go?"

"I-I've closed my heart to love." Lu Zhou is flustered.

Qin Yu pins him against the wall, grabs both his hands, and glares at him with bloodshot eyes. "No."
