Female Protagonist
I Must’ve Woken Up Too Fast: My Bestie Is a Vengeful Ghost!
[Strong Female Lead + Comedy + Modern Fantasy + Male Lead with Multiple Incarnations]
Yun Jianyue woke up one morning to discover that her best friend was dead… and had become a headless vengeful ghost.
Yun Jianyue: “I must’ve gotten up too fast. I’m going back to sleep.”
Best friend: “…”
Yun Jianyue took her best friend to get revenge on a scumbag, only for an even more powerful vengeful ghost to appear halfway through and steal their chance at revenge.
Yun Jianyue raised a chainsaw and hacked the ghost to pieces.
Best friend: “Where the fuck did you get a chainsaw?!”
Yun Jianyue was forced into a ghost marriage with the Evil God. Humiliated and furious, he tried to kill her.
Yun Jianyue raised her chainsaw and shaved the Evil God’s head.
Best friend: “Where do you keep getting these chainsaws?!”
When Yun Jianyue and the Paranormal Bureau found themselves surrounded and pummeled by monsters and evil spirits, Yun Jianyue raised her chainsaw once again.
Best friend: “Tell me! Where! The fuck! Do you keep getting! These chainsaws?!”
Off to the side, a teenage boy saw that the chainsaw’s blade had gone dull and silently handed her a new one. Yun Jianyue took it and swung it with deadly force.
Teenage boy: “Good deed done, no credit needed. Check.”
With a handsome Evil God on her left and an adorable puppy-like boy on her right, Yun Jianyue had her hands full.
Best friend: “Which one of them is actually your boyfriend?!”
Yun Jianyue: “It’s only two dicks. What’s the big deal?”
Yin Pawn
I was born on the First Day of the Eighth Month in the Year of the Wood Rooster. I came into this world with a single tuft of white hair on my head. The midwife said I was a solitary Yan bird born in mourning, and that if my family kept me, one of us would die every three years.
To save my life, my grandmother pawned me as a Dead Pawn to a pawnshop in Wufu Town to serve as a sacrificial offering.
After being cast aside so many times and living under the roofs of others, I learned from a young age to be sweet and obedient.
Who would have thought that eighteen years later, I would become the true Manager of that pawnshop?
I speak the softest words, cling to the strongest allies, and collect the most powerful Yin Evil Objects!

The Classic of Mountains and Seas in a Box
[Connecting Past and Present + Troubled Times Famine + Classic of Mountains and Seas]
On her first day back in her hometown, Qin Ying discovered an ancient Miniature Kingdom inside a box.
Within the Miniature Kingdom, there was a famine in a world of chaos, tyranny, ferocious Monstrous Beasts, and hundreds of millions of commoners struggling to survive in the cracks of society.
Qin Ying looked down upon the World in the Box, and from then on, that world of suffering gained a Savior Deity.
With a casual pour of rice, she fed an entire city.
With a sprinkle of water, she ended the drought across the Thirteen Provinces.
With a wave of her hand, Qin Ying supported a handsome and upright New Emperor to ascend the throne, exterminating the anomalies and stabilizing the chaotic world.
Later, the Land of Gods was built within the World in the Box, and her Divine Name was praised across the Four Seas.
However, Qin Ying found herself in a dilemma as she looked at the Rare Beasts offered as sacrifices by the Miniature Kingdom.
Should she first kiss the Mini Panda in her left palm until its fur was ruffled? Or should she first tease the Tsundere Little Tiger in her right palm until it cried?
The New Emperor pressed his face against her knee, rubbing against her to vie for her favor: “Please, look at me.”
Qin Ying used her toe to tilt up his chin: “Have you no ambition?”
The New Emperor lowered his eyes and kissed the arch of her foot: “Your gaze is my only destination.”
The Apocalypse: Surviving Among Madmen
Crossed-inspired (but toned down; mere skin exposure does not cause infection) / apocalypse / strong female lead / survival / pseudo-ensemble cast / alternate world / no romance / no supernatural abilities / dark fiction / not a power fantasy / no easy victories / everyone suffers / desperate survival. The female lead is not the decisive, ruthless type. She is emotionally sensitive and suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.
In her previous life, Qingshui had fought tooth and nail to survive the apocalypse. When zombies overran the base, she risked everything to escort the base’s sole surviving researcher onto a plane, only to die in the jaws of the undead herself.
She thought that was the end of her life. Instead, in the blink of an eye, she was reborn into a vibrant world she had never seen before. There were no zombies here. No starvation. No bloodshed or chaos.
During her first year here, she even thought she had arrived in the paradise Aunt Chen used to talk about, despite the many classes she could not understand.
Just as she was finally beginning to accept her new life, the dream shattered…
In the middle of an unexpected exam, a piercing scream rang out from the classroom next door, awakening Qingshui’s long-honed survival instincts. Ignoring everyone else’s warnings, she grabbed the Dorm Leader and insisted they run back to their dorm.
Severed limbs littered their path, and the stench of blood filled the air. In mere moments, the entire campus became a living hell.
These creatures were even more terrifying than zombies. They tore people apart and devoured them alive, tormenting their victims for sheer amusement. Anyone caught by them would be better off dead.
And in this world gone mad, Qingshui will have to find a way to survive!
She Refuses to Be a Concubine
[A Long-Planned Scheme + Forceful Possession + A Powerful Man Bows His Head for Love + Both Leads Chaste + Two Strong Leads Join Forces]
Pei Xianjing, the eldest legitimate son of the Duke’s household, enjoyed the Emperor’s deep favor. Accomplished in both civil and military affairs, fair-minded and incorruptible, he was hailed by all as an upright gentleman and a capable minister who could save the realm-an aloof, unattainable flower blooming upon a frozen peak.
A savior delivered all beneath heaven.
And so, when Xing Shuwei came to him four years ago with nowhere else to turn, he had shown her generous compassion and allowed her to stay. “From now on, you belong to me.”
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Xing Shuwei regarded him as the lifeline that had saved both her and her younger brother. She obeyed his every word.
Then, on the day after her eighteenth birthday, Pei Xianjing pinned her against his desk.
The courteous gentleman had become a ravenous wolf. “Weiwei, do you like the birthday gift I gave you?”
“You are the rose I planted with my own hands. Even if every inch of you is covered in thorns, I am the only one you may prick.”

“Are you a good person?” the System’s cold voice rang beside Wei Sen’s ear.

Found Fox Tail on Husband After Marriage
Qiao Ying had transmigrated into a book. Unfortunately, kidnappers had injured her head, leaving her with amnesia.
In a dark, damp dungeon, she met a young man.
He wore robes of blue-green, his white hair as pure as snow. His face was exquisitely beautiful, but a white silk blindfold covered his eyes. Though he was disabled, he was the most optimistic person she had ever met, always smiling.
That day, the amnesiac Qiao Ying escaped the dungeon with the harmless-looking young man in tow.
The young man was a good person.
Because he was afraid of blood, even amid mountains of corpses and seas of gore, not a speck of dust stained his robes.
Because he was timid, whenever others fought, he only dared to hide far away, only for everyone to die in a poisonous mist the next moment.
Because he was kind, he offered medicine to enemies suffering in agony. Sadly, they failed to endure it and died with blood pouring from all seven orifices.
And so, she decided to marry such a good person.
Later, righteous cultivators came charging in with swords drawn, shouting that he was a monster.
That night, corpses littered the ground.
At last, she remembered the plot.
This was a bizarre, fantastical world crawling with eerie horrors.
There was a great villain who lacked the emotions of an ordinary person. He brought calamity to the world and stirred up countless conflicts, until in the end, the male and female leads sacrificed their lives to seal him away.
Amid the storm of blood and violence, the young man looked back at her.
His blue eyes were deep and uncanny. Blood spattered his face, making him look like an Asura descended upon the mortal realm. Behind him, nine fox tails unfurled with wanton grace, bewitching and breathtakingly vivid.
Qiao Ying went deathly pale with fright.
But he only smiled softly. “If you’re scared and want to run, it’s too late-”
Before he could finish, Qiao Ying ran, but straight into his arms. She wiped the blood from his face and said, “You scared me! I thought you were hurt!”
The young man blinked, patted her head, then poked her cheek. “Are you stupid?”

Lin Yinxi: Taking a break from the internet. Do not disturb. Thanks.
A second later.
Her phone vibrates again.
