When I was just 15 and fresh out of middle school, my father sat me down and said something that would change everything: “Our bloodline carries the Devil’s legacy.” At the time, it felt like nonsense—especially coming from a man who ran a fried chicken joint and could only pull off a parlor trick where his eyes turned blue. Me? I was just the delivery boy who happened to be a bit stronger than the average teen. I laughed it off. But five years later… they found me. And everything I thought was ordinary shattered in an instant.

If Shui Ruoshan had to name the biggest mistake of his life, it would be writing the novel The Mightiest Monarch of All Time. His unluckiest moment? Waking up inside that very story. But fate didn’t just stop there—he wasn’t even one of the original characters! Even worse, the plot he painstakingly crafted has gone completely off the rails, twisting in ways he never imagined. But the real kicker? The all-powerful final villain—the boss-level tyrant he designed to torment the protagonist—is now treating him like some kind of fragile pet under protection. All those epic power-ups, over-the-top OP moments, and straightforward “cool” story arcs he filled the novel with? Gone. Replaced with chaos, unpredictability, and a very clingy dark lord. Clearly, something went horribly wrong with his transmigration. Where’s the reset button when you need one?!

The once-popular online game Yggdrasil was scheduled to be shut down for good. Players logged off for the final time—except one. Even after the servers supposedly went offline, one player remained logged in. Something was wrong. Strangely, the game’s world didn’t dissolve into code. Instead, the once-scripted NPCs began to show signs of free will, and the game’s world felt eerily real. Trapped within the avatar of an undead sorcerer, a young man from the real world found himself reborn as Momonga—a skeletal overlord and the last remaining presence of the elite guild Ainz Ooal Gown. Now stranded in this bizarre, living version of Yggdrasil, he assumes command and begins a journey not just to understand this new realm, but to conquer it. As the boundaries between game and reality blur, Momonga sets his sights on building a legacy that will shake this world to its core. A new legend is about to begin—one forged in bone, shadow, and absolute power.

Though he’s no magical beast, the pact is sealed, and the two are magically bound as mistress and familiar. Forced into an unexpected partnership neither asked for, the chaos begins. Sparks fly, tempers clash, and an offbeat romance slowly weaves itself into their bizarre magical misadventure.

During the reign of the Great Liang Dynasty, society had stepped into an age of innovation, with steam-driven machinery powered by a rare energy source known as Violetstream Gold. In a remote village, a quiet youth named Chang Geng lived a humble life, distanced from his emotionally absent mother and often left alone due to his stepfather’s long absences. His small world revolved around a few friends, a kindly local teacher, and his dependable adoptive father—his yi fu. But his ordinary life shattered the day the savage Man tribes launched a brutal attack. What followed was a cascade of revelations that unraveled everything Chang Geng thought he knew. His identity? Fabricated. His family? Not who they claimed to be. Even the man he respected most—his adoptive father—was part of the intricate lie. As the smoke of war cleared, Chang Geng found himself at the heart of a much greater truth, tied to secrets that could shake the very foundation of the empire.

Pei Shaoze accidentally overheard the plot of a novel titled Accidental Mark, only to wake up and discover he’d become its infamous villain—an arrogant alpha also named Pei Shaoze. In the original storyline, this man ruined the life of a young omega, Cheng Xia, taking advantage of the boy’s unstable pheromones to forcibly mark him, wrecking his family and future. Years later, the devastated Cheng Xia would return with vengeance in his heart—and a knife in his hand. Pei Shaoze, now fully aware of what fate awaited him, was horrified. “Seriously? That was the plan?” he thought. “Why not just run the entertainment business properly instead of being a walking disaster?” Determined to rewrite his own ending, Pei Shaoze handled things differently—respectfully sending Cheng Xia home, arranging for him to star in a promising youth drama, and slowly becoming his quiet supporter behind the scenes. That series turned into a breakout hit. Cheng Xia, glowing with newfound confidence, said gratefully, “Thank you, President Pei!” More projects followed—each one tailored to help Cheng Xia grow as an actor. And each time, the young star’s gratitude only deepened. At every major event, his speech always ended with the same heartfelt thanks: “I owe it all to President Pei.” When Pei Shaoze’s birthday came around, the entire industry paid their respects. But it was Cheng Xia who stayed late, walking him home under the soft glow of city lights. Face flushed and eyes full of meaning, Cheng Xia finally said, “President Pei… I’ve known how you feel. And I feel the same.” The media later realized Pei Shaoze had produced every one of Cheng Xia’s hit dramas. Fans swooned, declaring, “This alpha is definitely the real deal! Xia Xia, go after him!” Cheng Xia simply smiled and replied, “I already did :)” —He gave him freedom, respect, and trust. In return, he became the wings beneath his rise.
