Blurb:

At eight years old, Yuan Li awakened to the truth: her younger brother was the male lead of an angsty novel. He would find a female lead to serve as a stand-in for his one true love, drain the heroine's blood and take her kidney for that same love. In short, he was a thoroughly awful person.

But sweet romances were all the rage now, and old-fashioned angsty novels had been discarded. So her brother was reduced to a sacrificial extra, and she, his sister with barely any part in the story, got caught in the fallout too.

Yuan Li rolled up her sleeves and returned to the country. "There's no such thing as a brother you can't raise right, only a sister who isn't strict enough."

.

In the living room, seven-year-old Yuan Xingye wore a little suit and stared at the rice porridge staining his sleeve. His small face was stern as he glared at the maid beside him. "How dare you dirty my favorite clothes? How do you want to die?"

Looking at her little brother, already brimming with hostility at such a young age, Yuan Li pinned him across her lap and gave him a beating. "You keep talking about dying. You think you're something special?"

Kicking his little legs frantically, Yuan Xingye flushed red. "Yuan Li! How dare you hit my butt!"

"Oh, really? Still think I can't handle you?" Yuan Li gave him several more smacks. "Call me Big Sister."

The little boy stubbornly refused to give in. "Yuan Li! I'm going to kill you!"

Three minutes later, Yuan Xingye was bawling at the top of his lungs. "Sis, I was wrong! Sis! I'm sorry!"

Yuan Li patted his head like a dog's. "Yuan Xingye, use your words. Keep saying nonsense like that, and next time I'll make your butt blossom."

Yuan Xingye sniffled, convinced that every monster in the world was less terrifying than the girl in front of him, who was a year older than he was.

And so, year after year, the pressure of their blood ties forced the would-be domineering CEO, who was supposed to grow into an obsessive tyrant, right back into line.

Yuan Xingye: Is there any CEO in the world with less dignity than me?

.

When the story finally got underway, a certain task-taker set out to turn the male lead into a sacrificial extra, only to discover that...

The male lead was warm and polite. He'd apologize even if he bumped into a lamppost.

The male lead was respectable and self-disciplined. He'd never looked for a stand-in, and had never even had a first love.

The male lead had an excellent reputation in business. He always left people some room to maneuver and never drove anyone to the bitter end.

Oh, and the male lead who had been cold and heartless in the original story was now the brother-in-law of a villain who did every evil thing imaginable. He was always going around saying things like, "My sister this," "You're not good enough for my sister," and "That scheming bitch stole my sister," like the sister-obsessed guy he was.

The task-taker was dumbfounded. "Did I transmigrate into the wrong book? Which part of this is anything like the original story?"

Reader's Guide:

1. The female lead is sort of reborn. A lighthearted, satisfying story with exaggerated, over-the-top, old-school Mary Sue melodrama and logic that takes a back seat. Don't overanalyze it.

2. The younger brother has the constitution of an old-school domineering CEO, so he's got all the usual perks stacked up. (A moment of silence for him.)

3. The three of them grew up together. The villain is reborn.

Upcoming: The Villainous Young Lady Doesn't Want to Conquer Anyone [Book Transmigration]

Blurb:

Qin Zhou is the protagonist of a no-romance, live-in son-in-law power fantasy. He has incredible luck, a fact he overhears when people around him who approach with ulterior motives speak to something in their heads called the System.

They get close to him and treat him well to raise his affection for them and win his heart, all so they can steal his luck.

After learning this, Qin Zhou grew to loathe such people with every fiber of his being.

At eighteen, following the plot those people had described, he went to the Su family and became their live-in son-in-law, biding his time.

When he met his fiancée, Qin Zhou heard the familiar voice of a System.

[Host, he's the protagonist. You have to please him and conquer him! Once you win him over, the whole world will be yours!]

Qin Zhou sneered inwardly. Sure enough, another conquest-seeker with ulterior motives.

Then, the next moment, he heard his fiancée think, "He thinks I'm going to please him?"

Qin Zhou froze. This conquest-seeker was different.

.

Before Su Mingjiao could kill her illegitimate younger sister and fiancé, the System threw her into a male-led story about a live-in son-in-law. The male lead developed a fear of women after his fiancée made his life difficult in every possible way, and devoted himself entirely to his career.

The System told her that the male lead had incredible luck. Plenty of people wanted to conquer him and claim some of that luck for themselves. Even a little of it would make everything go their way.

The first time Su Mingjiao met her bargain-bin fiancé, she despised him from the bottom of her heart. "Darling of the Heavens? Hah. My sister and fiancé were protagonists too, according to you, but I made their lives worse than death."

She smiled cruelly. "You want me to please him? He thinks he's worth it?"

Seeing the protagonist standing awkwardly, his body stiff with tension, Su Mingjiao looked at him with disdain. "A penniless nobody thinks he's worthy of being my fiancé? He'd be better off pouring tea and fetching water for me."

[What are you doing?! He'll hate you! Once he grows powerful, you'll be the first person he kills!]

Su Mingjiao didn't care. "So what? It's only death."

.

The conquest-seekers around her and Su Mingjiao's System all thought the male lead hated her so much he wanted to stab her to death.

Instead, they saw...

Qin Zhou tossed the System, which had turned into a little stray dog, to the side and knelt beside Su Mingjiao's legs. He looked up at her ingratiatingly. "Can we get rid of that dog? I'll be your dog from now on."

Conquest-seekers/System: ...

What the hell, was this guy a masochist or something?!

Reader's Guide:

1. An arrogant, unpredictable, wicked young lady paired with a loyal, lovesick live-in son-in-law who only wants to be her dog.

2. The conquest-seekers include both men and women.

3. The female lead is no good person. If she's in a bad mood, she'll make life miserable for anyone. She fears nothing.

4. The female lead is clever, ruthless, and has her golden finger maxed out.

5. The male lead is a master of wild imaginings and a true lovesick fool.

Upcoming: I Teach at a University of the Supernatural [Infinite]

Blurb:

No one knows when it began, but everyone started entering supernatural games upon reaching adulthood, and they never ended. To reduce the death rate of new players, the University of the Supernatural was established.

It had been just one month since the 233rd class of freshmen started, and Class 29 had already gone through ten teachers.

The class was packed with rebellious, infuriating problem students who could make anyone tear their hair out.

Class 29 was in chaos again today, the students cheering because they'd driven another teacher away.

Creak...

The door swung open. A woman shuffled in wearing slippers, her hair hastily twisted up with a pencil, her cheeks suspiciously flushed. She held a bottle of baijiu in her left hand, taking a swig every few steps. Slowly making her way to the lectern, she said, "I'm Ti Wu, your new teacher. We're having a practice exam now. Come into the instance with me."

The students: !!!

Wait, this disheveled drunk woman was their teacher? But they'd never learned any of the material. How were they supposed to take an exam?

Inside the instance...

The 46 students of Class 29 were surrounded by a procession of ghosts. Their legs went weak with fear, and their old arrogance was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's the teacher?"

"Holy crap! So many ghosts! They're coming!"

"Teacher Ti?"

"Help!"

Meanwhile, Ti Wu was drinking with an old acquaintance. "Your sacrificial wine really is the best."

The instance boss, bruised and battered, forced himself to take a deep breath and hold back his anger. "That's an offering for me. At least leave me some."

"Yeah, yeah," she said dismissively.

Outside, the students of Class 29 screamed themselves hoarse. Trembling, they watched the ghosts draw closer and burst into tears, while their teacher had already fallen asleep.

Ever since Ti Wu took over Class 29, all the troublemakers had turned into little angels.

The whole school exclaimed, "Teacher Ti is incredible!"

The students of Class 29 scoffed. "All our teacher does is drink. She never teaches, and she makes us take practice exams every three days and tests every five. We've been teaching ourselves just to stay alive. What does Ti Wu have to do with it?"

.

Everyone in Class 29 thought Ti Wu was a half-baked teacher. They were unhappy, but didn't dare say so, until they were dragged into a wild instance during their autumn outing and found themselves in mortal danger...

Then they watched Ti Wu kick the instance boss flying and solve the instance's puzzle without breaking a sweat. "We're out of booze. Let's go."

The students: ...

Holy crap! Is this really their unreliable Teacher Ti? She's so damn cool!

Reader's Guide:

1. The female lead is usually laid-back, completely unreliable, and never without her baijiu. When it matters, she shows up and crushes everyone. Total badass.

2. The more cocky the problem students are at the start, the harder they'll cry later. The main focus is on their growth.

3. There is a male lead. They are a couple from the start, and their relationship is stable. He doesn't have much plot time and appears in everyday scenes. He won't enter instances with her.

4. Chuunibyou vibes, with a light-novel feel that's somewhat Japanese in style.

5. My take on the Infinite genre, with a ton of author-created details.
