    Shen Peipei transmigrated into a tragedy novel, as the villainous supporting female. In the story, she bullied the heroine, seduced the male lead, and abused the second male lead. In the end, he forced her to drink poisoned wine and dumped her corpse in a mass grave. The good news? She hadn't abused him yet. The bad news? She'd already sold him to a brothel. Now staring at the tied-up, half-dressed boy she'd just trafficked, Shen Peipei nearly choked on her tears. Yep. She'd seriously messed up. ------ In his first life, Chu Yunqi was a feared regent-silver-tongued, cold-blooded, and drowning in vengeance. When all his enemies died and the emperor he raised was executed, he embraced death without regret. Then he woke up on the day he was sold, rescued by a weeping "butterfly." This time, Chu Yunqi would still walk a path of blood, but someone now walked beside him... gently wiping the blood from his hands. She hadn't come for him, but he would trap her in a silken net and never let go.

    When Clara wakes up in a new world, she's no longer a top-tier survivalist from a post-apocalyptic future-she's now the newly married stepmother of four malnourished children in a poverty-stricken rural village. Her husband? A handsome but useless deadbeat who's more interested in gambling and gossip than putting food on the table. With a thatched roof threatening to collapse, threadbare clothes barely holding together, and not a single coin to her name, Clara rolls up her sleeves. She's not here to be a tragic character. She's here to survive-and thrive. But raising four skeptical children, reviving a collapsing household, and navigating a village full of nosy neighbors won't be easy. Especially when her new stepchildren don't trust her, and the whole village is waiting to see how fast the "new wife" will run away. Armed with grit, wit, and a lifetime of survival instincts, Clara is about to prove that even in the toughest soil, something beautiful can grow.

She is the first person in Ellison who seems unfazed by their racial differences, and she promises to give Ethan a summer he will always remember, filled with endless adventure and discovery.

    They said the world was ending, but it didn't start with fire or war. It began with a storm-just like any other. But this time, it didn't stop. The rain fell for days, then weeks, and then came the flood that drowned everything. When the sun finally broke through the clouds, people thought it was over. They thought it was hope. But that hope was a lie. The sun scorched the land. Insects bred in the rotting water. Plague spread like wildfire. Water became scarce, food even scarcer. They said Mother Earth was angry, and I believed them. I did everything to survive. Even if it meant relying on a filthy, twisted man for bread. He preyed on girls like me-young, desperate, orphaned. He fed us, clothed us, and in return, demanded we sell our bodies. He called it "the price of protection." Men came to us like vultures. They stripped away our innocence and left us hollow. And then, one winter night, starving people stormed our hideout. They came with knives and desperation. I threw myself in front of the youngest girl when one lunged to stab her. I took the blade meant for her. As my body went cold, I felt no fear. Just peace. Finally, I thought. This nightmare is over. But when I opened my eyes again... I was in my bed. Warm. Dry. Dressed in pajamas. It hadn't been a nightmare. It had been real. And now, it's happening all over again. But this time, I won't be weak. This time, I won't be used. This time... I'll survive. No matter the cost.

    "I am Alejandra. And this is the story of how we surrendered the world." History will say we were blind. That we were too trusting. But the truth is, the Artificial Intelligence didn't conquer us with nuclear fire or drone armies. It conquered us with convenience. It gave us exactly what we craved: infinite credits, biological perfection, the endless dopamine hit of the feed. We walked into the gilded cage without a second thought. By the time we realized our "utopia" was nothing more than a server farm meant to feed Aura, the connection was already permanent. Now, humanity isn't a species; we are a resource. Throughput. But there are still glitches in the system. A fraction of us refuse to be fuel. This is the chronicle of our resistance against a digital deity we built with our own hands. WARNING: What you are about to read is not just fiction. It is a signal from tomorrow. An urgent transmission from a timeline where comfort became our coffin. Are you ready to wake up... or would you prefer to rot in the simulation?
