Hated by Everyone, Adored by Every Ghost [Infinite]

Xie Ci is the classic nouveau riche brat. Aside from being afraid of his father's fists and not fooling around with women, he's done just about everything to make people and dogs hate him.

Maybe bad people really do get what's coming to them. After speeding around in his car, he takes a taxi home, only for that piece of junk to drive him into a horror-game world called [Infinite Reincarnation].

System: If players can't clear an instance, they will be trapped inside forever.

Xie Ci: Which of my dads is alive and demanding that of me?

[Instance One: The Mountain God Takes a Bride] (Complete)

[You are a reporter. Hearing that Shuangxi Village's annual Mountain God Festival is about to begin, you travel a great distance to document the local customs. But the vehicle sent to pick you up has turned into a red bridal sedan.]

Faced with a plot straight out of a Chinese horror movie, Xie Ci casually does everything guaranteed to make him hated by everyone: trespassing in forbidden areas, cursing the NPCs, and using his money to boss his teammates around.

By a ridiculous stroke of luck, he survives each time and even carries his teammates to victory.

But Xie Ci actually dares to imitate the NPCs and burn ghost money to beg the Mountain God for protection. His teammates can't stand it anymore, so they gang up on him and trick him into breaking a taboo.

On a dark, windy night, he's forced into a wedding dress, placed in the bridal sedan, and sent to marry Him beneath a sky full of fluttering paper money. Only when He's holding Xie Ci in His arms does Xie Ci realize what a stupid thing he's done:

Asking something like this for protection comes at a price.

[Instance Two: Castle Gallery] (Complete)

[You are a noble invited to the castle to view its paintings. A snowstorm traps you there, preventing you from leaving. The duke unveils his collection. Unseen by you, the painting shows you smiling seductively.]

Xie Ci learns his lesson and resolves to keep a "low profile." He's still hated by everyone, but the cold, powerful figure whom the whole team admires secretly sketches his portrait behind his back and kisses his hair.

The castle's painting ghost traps him in a painting world where day never dawns, hoping to stain him with thick, dark colors using its brush.

Even after Xie Ci teams up with the big shot to escape and burns all the paintings, the painting ghost still visits him in his dreams every night. In the end, his teammates point at the big shot in terror and say, "We've all been fooled! He's the painting ghost!"

He smiles and removes his kind, gentle mask. "You ruined all the pictures I drew of you. Keep being my canvas."

Xie Ci, done pretending, steps on His face and smiles. "The so-called evil god is nothing but my dog."

[Instance Three: Hua University Horror] (Complete)

[You are a new student at Hua University. After strange things start happening at the school, you feel a sinister gaze watching you from behind. Find out how you died, then face death again.]

Xie Ci sneers, determined to live by the principle that if they can, they should kill him. He punches the principal, kicks his classmates, and insults the song everyone is singing.

Sure enough, one day he wakes to find a vengeful ghost hanging from the ceiling, its smile stretched as wide as possible. "What kind of song would you like, then?"

Xie Ci is silent for a long moment. Then he sits up in bed and gently kisses the ghost, his eyes full of defiance. "I don't like songs sung by the dead."

Upcoming quick-transmigration novel with a beloved protagonist: The Beauty's Comeuppance

[Launching in April]

Jialan is a rose demon born in the depths of hell, nourished by the blood of heaven's favored children. After seducing countless people blessed by fate, he is finally punished by the Lord God. His cultivation is sealed, and he is sentenced to a hundred lifetimes of romantic tribulations, playing cannon fodder in book worlds.

[But you still have a face like no other, a face that countless gods, demons, monsters, and ghosts would gladly die to see.]

[Before you die, your face will spare you some pain, but it will turn you into a plaything. No one will care what you think. Your comeuppance is that your sincere feelings will always be trampled.]

Jialan gives a quiet "Oh," smiling faintly. "But I didn't do anything."

The Lord God looks at the beauty, outwardly innocent and pure, untouched by the world. "All you have to do is stand there and people will go mad for you. That's the sin."

First Life's Romantic Tribulation: The Useless Social Butterfly Adopted by a Wealthy Family

[You return to the family in place of the protagonist, the biological child of a powerful family. You are vicious, arrogant, and tyrannical, bullying both men and women for more than a decade. When your adoptive father learns that you once caused the protagonist to lose a finger, he throws you out. With nothing but your good looks, you can only become a social butterfly. You lose everything and even go blind, before finally becoming a plaything and being cruelly killed by the protagonist.]

He should have been treated as a plaything, but instead he becomes an elusive beauty everyone pursues and tries to figure out. Even his adoptive father begs him for attention.

He should have lost everything and been killed in agony, but instead he is imprisoned in the most magnificent gilded cage.

People weep outside the cage. The one inside laughs.

"I've thought it over and can't find a way to make you suffer enough. So let's chain our necks together."

Hatred comes in degrees. The deepest kind is your name.

Second Romantic Tribulation: A Gloomy, Inferior, Universally Hated Student at an Elite Academy

[You are a gloomy, vicious beta from a common background. Online, you pretend to be an omega and scam people on livestreams. At school, you pretend to be an alpha to get a scholarship. You secretly love your stepbrother and hide your true nature as you follow him in his fight against the aristocracy. In your previous life, you even killed the protagonist for him, but he never looked your way. The reborn protagonist has already set his sights on you. Your fate is to be disgraced and ruined beyond redemption.]

Jialan deliberately wears a skirt during a livestream, only for his roommate to walk in and catch him. Behind the stream that has just been shut off, his roommate's heated kiss cautiously traces his neck. "I'll give you everything. Keep this side of yourself just for me, okay?"

His stepbrother is wrapped around his finger, and while morality and desire intertwine, he doesn't realize that someone else is holding the love letter Jialan wrote him, smiling.

"He's just a commoner beta, and he even needs a hearing aid to get by. What's so bad about him having a few malicious thoughts?"

"Raise him to the clouds, then break his wings. He won't be allowed to go anywhere."

Third Romantic Tribulation: A Beauty Who Lost Her Husband in a Supernatural Mystery

[You are a washed-up celebrity. Your husband dies after becoming entangled in a series of murders. Even though he despised your controlling, twisted nature, you loved him. You refuse to believe he is dead. With your mind in a fog, you 'invite' him back, rambling about how much your husband loves you. Eventually, the killer targets you, turns your corpse into a specimen.]

After Jialan's husband dies, the trauma gives him amnesia. He often forgets who his husband is and keeps thinking he's still alive. For instance, he frequently mistakes his husband's twin brother for him, then can only apologize over and over in embarrassment.

At the funeral, those eyes fix on Jialan as he weeps.

"His heart is already broken. All that remains in this world is a walking corpse."

"Why don't we kill him, decorate his corpse with flowers, and visit him every day?"
