Title: Quick Transmigration: After I Got the Vicious Mother-in-Law Script Synopsis: [Quick Transmigration • Healing • Counterattack • No Romance] Li Qing never expected to wake up inside one story after another, each time as the same person: the vicious mother-in-law. Her mission? To make amends for the regrets of every fallen matriarch, to rewrite their fates, and to prove that even the most hated roles deserve redemption. ---- World One: In a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" novel, the scumbag male lead toyed with women while his wife suffered in silence. Li Qing straightened her daughter-in-law's spine and taught her to walk away with her head held high. ---- World Two: In a "real and fake heiress" tale, the real daughter was cast aside and left to die unloved. Li Qing shielded her granddaughter, slapped sense into her useless parents, and kicked out the usurping fake heiress. ---- World Three: In an '80s family drama, her unfilial son's cruelty drove his wife to her grave. Li Qing beat him back into decency and raised the daughter-in-law he'd destroyed to prominence. ---- World Four: In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, her own blood abandoned her for survival. Li Qing took her granddaughter's hand, awakened their powers, built a fortress, and nailed a sign at the gate: "Those two dogs are not allowed inside." ---- And so the legend of Li Qing spread across countless worlds. Years later, even the agents of the Time-Space Bureau searched for the secret of her success. When asked what made her unstoppable, Li Qing only smiled and said- "Because I am kind."

What would you give up to dive into your favourite story? Romantic, sharp-tongued, with a tendency to fall in love with tall, dark-haired, brooding men--Leah is the archetype of the "Pride and Prejudice" fan. TV series, movies, comics, musicals: she has seen and read them all. For her birthday, Leah's friends and family pool together to get her the ultimate Janeite gift: the Bridge, a virtual-reality gaming device. By granting access to her five senses, she can live her favourite novel as the iconic Elizabeth Bennet! As she explores Regency England and quarrels with the infamous Darcy, Leah cannot help but digress from the original plot to suit her modern-woman convictions. The longer she plays, the weirder her beloved characters act, until the lines between fiction and reality blur. ⚠️ Content and/or trigger warning ⚠️ This story contains one scene of (unsuccessful) sexual coercion, and mentions domestic violence and death by domestic violence, which may be triggering for some readers. 📖 Featured 19 times!

--Watty winner-- In Victorian London, monster hunting isn't just a job, it's a way of life. Freddie Westman, a reporter for a paranormal magazine, is one of the best in the business, but now it's personal. His childhood friend, Jim Penderry, has disappeared, and the signs point to sinister forces from beyond the grave. If Westman wants to save Jim, he'll have to face his worst fear. No, not fighting a demon with only a cake to hand. Something far more daunting. Sceptical Sophie Penderry doesn't solve mysteries or go on adventures. She's more at home in the library with her nose in The Botanist's Guide to Plants and Fungi. But she puts the science books away to help Westman find her missing brother, whether he likes it or not. Which he really doesn't. Westman is a loner, reluctant to lead anyone into danger. According to him, the supernatural is not just the stuff of folklore and children's nightmares, and a world of black magic awaits them. Now Westman must decide if he should push Sophie away for her own safety, or take a leap of faith and accept an offer of help and friendship. Either way, time is running out to find Jim, and worse still, they may not make it back in time for tea and biscuits. ~Featured story (Sep 2014 - Aug 2017) ~Selected by R.L. Stine's 'Slappy' (Goosebumps Movie's sponsored reading list) ~Winner of the Wattys 2014 HQ Love Award
