No Longer His Villainess by SheLeftEden

She was the villainess who died loving the wrong prince. Now? She's got one rule: NO MORE ROYALS. In her first life, she was hopelessly obsessed with Duncan Davenford, Crown Prince of Ashtor. She chased him, humiliated herself, and turned into the girl everyone loved to whisper about. The villainess who fell too hard and crashed even harder. But fate gave her a second chance. This time, she's staying far away from the palace, the crowns, the drama and especially from heartbreak. All she wants is a peaceful, prince-free life. Too bad the universe is a troll. Because now there's another Crown Prince. He's cold, quiet, and way too attractive for her own good. And worse? He doesn't look at her like she's the villain. He looks at her like she's the story. And maybe this time, she is. ≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾ Book Cover Illustrated by Mitoxicity Art Date Started: July 22, 2025 Status: On-going

Full-Level Boss: Rising to Stardom with Metaphysics by LingYuexin

[Multiple identities • Metaphysics • Strong female lead • Sweet yet chaotic romance] Fu Ningyuan, once the unrivaled leader of the Xuanmen sect, wakes up to find herself transmigrated, straight into the body of a "vicious supporting actress" from a tacky CEO romance novel. Her debut scene? A classic cliché. "One million. Leave my son." The CEO's mother sneered, tossing a check at her. Fu Ningyuan took one look at the noblewoman's dimming lifespan, accepted the money with poise, and calmly placed a talisman on the table. "The price of saving your life," she said lightly. "I'll take it." --- ...And thus began her infamous career as the "shameless freeloader" of the entertainment industry. Everyone despised her, until a single episode of a live variety show changed everything. The moment someone tried to humiliate her on camera, strange misfortunes began to strike. Cars broke down. Deals fell apart. Stars fell from grace. Then came the storm of public confessions: "Whoever bullies her is an enemy of the Qin family." - Patriarch Qin "Miss Fu's kindness is heavier than a mountain-she's like a second parent to me." - Head of the Zhou family "Without her, I would've been long dead." - Renowned fortune teller And just when the world began to wonder about her true identity- The man from the powerful Pei family finally stood up and said, in a dangerously low voice, "She's mine." Fu Ningyuan: "..." She never expected that the ruined life she was thrown into would one day dazzle the entire world.

Quick Transmigration: After I Got the Vicious Mother-in-Law Script by LingYuexin

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."

MISTRESS OF FLAME by CeCeLib

[ BOOK 1 OF AZITERA: YTHER'S QUEEN ] Consumed by avarice, the four human kingdoms-the Infernal Empire, the Kingdom of Caelum, the Kingdom of Treterra, and the Nayale Archipelago-betrayed their covenant with Yther of Azitera, the race blessed by deities, who protected humans for untold centuries. They slaughtered and defiled the beings that once protected them from storm, famine, poverty, and pestilence without mercy. Betrayed by the humans they protected, the Ytherians were enslaved. Their four queens were caged, chained, and imprisoned to serve as nutrients to the human kingdoms. The once prominent Ytherians were reduced to nothing but servants. As the four kingdoms of the human race prospered for many years since their betrayal, one news staggered them, causing them to tremble in fear and rally their armies to protect and defend their domain: Sollel-the Mistress of Flame, one of Yther's queens-had escaped her prison. Her flames will raze hell, ready to burn the souls of her betrayers. COMPLETED CECELIB | C.C. COVER: ASTRID JAYDEE
