[Pre-release: Please bookmark Don’t Seduce an Honest Married Woman! [Painted Skin]! See below for the blurb.]
Masked Fool Shise believes that the Elation in Dual-Phase Paradise has strayed from what Elation should be.
To set things right, she resigns from the Genius Society and goes home to inherit her family’s game company.
Shise: Listen, the essence of Elation is everything people are willing to live for.
Shise: If you think the Elation around you has gone wrong, come enjoy the pleasures of human instinct!

Feeling bored and repressed? Here’s a little secret: we have a 21+ full-dive game... No need to pay 648, just 128, and take home every card illustration.
Shise: There’s only one path left for me.
I’ll become an Emanator, win the Phantasmoon Games and become Aha for one minute, then get everyone playing my company’s games!
*
As the second Emanator to be called up in this year’s Phantasmoon Games, Shise made a name for herself in a very simple way.
Miss Sparkle personally endorsed her dress-up minigame, Find Idrila. The moment it launched, it swept every trending list in Dual-Phase Paradise.
Sparkle: I never agreed to endorse it! And how did you get all my viewers to become players?!
Sparkle: Because she invited me to cosplay as Sparkle.
Shise: Besides, a streamer has to face millions of fans alone. My game guarantees that every fan can have their own custom-made Aeon of Beauty.
When Man Yuan, head of the Happiness Smile Research Society, announced that he would be hosting an Emanator debate on Man Yuan TV, his subordinate regretfully informed him that the channel’s ratings had been falling all month.
“Am I Fighting the Iron Tomb? Battle Edition just launched. You can raise Chrysos Heirs in the game and beat up the Iron Tomb, and at the highest level, you can even raise an Aeon. If you can raise an Aeon, who’s going to watch TV?”
Even some Emanators themselves were busy raising characters.
Stelle, streaming: First, reset until you get a two-star Misha. Then, at the Oronix stage, you can get three-star Fuli Cyrene and have a full team of three-star Chrysos Heirs!
Silver Wolf, using a cracked version: Blade, wanna try it? I’ve already activated cheats. Three-star 999 Silver Wolf, and you can idle your way through Nanook. This run’s a bonus stage! Huh? Why did you pick Yunli at the start in Raising the Divine Bow General from Scratch?
When the Lord Ravager Guiji finally appeared in the skies above Dual-Phase Paradise, announcing that he would return misfortune to the planet...
Shise: Unfortunately, while playing as Ryosuke, you tried out the 21+ full-dive game I developed.
Shise, in a demonic whisper: You didn’t read the user agreement. There’s a clause saying the game developer reserves the right to force any player who is a Lord Ravager to log in or out.
Shise, launching the game: Take those empathic dolls of yours, no, your clones, and learn all about the eternal, primal joy of instinct! You haven’t even caught up to your predecessors!
And so, Shise, the Masked Fool, correction, the chairwoman of a game company, whose very name could make a Lord Ravager tremble, won the Phantasmoon Games.
The newly appointed Aeon of Elation forced every lifeform in the galaxy to watch a one-minute advertisement for her game company.
No one can stop her!
Make the game company great again!

The author knows that giving Guiji a shock of physiological pleasure is a pretty outrageous plot point, but ever since the idea came to mind, it’s haunted the author relentlessly. I couldn’t rest until I wrote it, so if you’ve read this far, please consider your own appetite for chaos and make good use of the exit and block functions.
Pre-release blurb:
Yu Ying is a timid, honest woman. After transmigrating, she finds herself the wife of Wang Sheng, left behind at his ancestral home.
Life is going well enough, until her husband Wang Sheng suddenly returns with two people: a beautiful concubine he took along the way, and her younger brother, whom he asks Yu Ying to look after.
Yu Ying despises the scumbag, but can’t help feeling a little relieved that her husband is so bewitched by his concubine that he doesn’t come to her for a child.
But soon, she can no longer feel relieved: she starts dreaming about the concubine’s younger brother again and again! In her dreams, the handsome, alluring young man holds up her legs, kissing his way down as he looks up and murmurs, “Sister Ying.”
For months on end, Yu Ying loses herself to these dreams countless times. Even though she does her best to avoid the young man in real life, it makes no difference. She still wakes up with an aching waist and weak legs.
Yu Ying doesn’t dare tell anyone. All she can do is endure it day after day, hoping that once she’s saved enough money, she can rent a separate house for the younger brother, and things might get better.
At last, she has enough money and goes to find the concubine.
Standing outside a half-open window, she sees her husband Wang Sheng fast asleep. At the dressing table, the concubine has been flattened into a sheet of human skin, and the gorgeous young man stands before it, brush in hand, touching up the rouge on its face.
Yu Ying is terrified out of her wits and stumbles backward, only to crash into a cold embrace.
At some point, the dazzling young man has appeared behind her. He catches her with a smile, his cold hand gripping her wrist.
“Oh dear, you’ve discovered my secret.”
His icy breath brushes Yu Ying’s earlobe, almost exactly as it did in her dreams.
“Now that Sister Ying has something on me, should I eat you...”
His breath travels down, past her collarbone, lingering on the spot he nibbled in last night’s dream.
“Or should you give me something to hold over you, too?”
*
Wang Sheng has never liked his dull-witted wife. But she is, after all, virtuous and dutiful, and he can occasionally visit her and give her a child to rely on.
He doesn’t know that whenever he’s drugged by magic, the young man removes his painted skin, kicks him under the bed, and holds his wife in his arms. As the bed creaks, he draws the curtains closed and strokes his wife’s flat lower belly with a finger.
“Even though this isn’t your first time, why are you still so nervous, Sister Ying?”
* The relationship between the heroine and Wang Sheng is not a legally recognized marriage. Her original body was deceived by Wang Sheng, and the heroine was deceived too when she transmigrated.
* The beautiful concubine is the male lead’s painted-skin disguise.
