Transmigration
Straight Male Chauvinism Enters Romance Novels
Noble Consort Qin was a peerless beauty, alluring enough to make the emperor cast aside his first wife and depose his legitimate son.
With tender eyes, Noble Consort Qin murmured, “His Majesty and I were joined as husband and wife in our youth. We are as devoted as a pair of mandarin ducks…”
Emperor Gaozu, inveterate male chauvinist: “Lady Qin is a mere concubine. How could she possibly have been joined to Us in our youth?”
“Throw this insolent wretch into the cold palace at once-and bring Us five hundred jin of memorials!”
◆ Male-chauvinist emperors with a single-minded devotion to a rich nation and a powerful army ◆
◆ We have no need of love. We want GDP! ◆
Notes:
1. This is a male-lead story in a fictional setting, and an unconventional quick-transmigration novel told through feudal monarchs who enter romance stories.
2. The emperors are written as typical rulers of feudal eras. They care only about raising GDP and have no time for romance. And yes, they truly are male chauvinists. Emphasis very much intended.
3. This is a wish-fulfillment story hostile to the pampered-concubine trope, with face-slapping and scum getting what they deserve. The emperors’ values do not represent the author’s. Please do not derail the discussion.
4. The direction and pace of the plot are entirely the author’s decision, and the author reserves the final right of interpretation.
The Mighty Toddler Transmigrates, Running Wild on the Road to Exile
In her previous life, Jin Bao was a little zombie king. After transmigrating, she became weak and helpless, beaten by an aunt and uncle who weren’t even related to her by blood.
By a twist of fate, she was bought by the Marchioness of Loyalty and Bravery. One moment, she had just become the legitimate daughter of the Marquis’s Mansion; the next, the entire household was destroyed, its property confiscated and the whole family sentenced to exile.
Jin Bao awakened a random Heavenly Eye, granting her glimpses of the past and future.
On the road to exile, while others gnawed on tree bark and dug up grass roots to survive, the people of the Marquis’s Mansion picked up gold, unearthed ginseng, and ate fluffy white steamed buns with roasted meat.
The path of exile was fraught with danger: assassinations, ambushes, plagues, swamps…
Guided by Jin Bao’s Heavenly Eye, they quietly defused every crisis, then turned around and sent their enemies a delightful surprise package.
Everyone believed the bitterly cold Northern Frontier was nothing but barren wasteland.
But Jin Bao led her family to build a city there, reclaim the land, open trade routes, and train soldiers.
When chaos engulfed the realm and the people were plunged into misery, the world finally realized that the great city of the Northern Frontier, once dismissed as a savage, desolate land, had become the only sanctuary under heaven.

“Are you a good person?” the System’s cold voice rang beside Wei Sen’s ear.
Wei Sen looked at the person she had just killed. The body was still warm. She couldn’t help laughing. “What do you think?”
The next second, she was thrown into a rules-horror world, and her opening difficulty was S-rank:
Instance: Dark Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood.
The good news: she had bound the Protagonist Aura System. As long as she did good deeds, she could gain Merit Points and exchange them for heaven-defying abilities!
The bad news: she was born rebellious. The word “kindness” didn’t exist in her dictionary!
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?”
How Could I Ever Bow to a Powerful Minister?
Xie Chengze transmigrates into a novel about a powerful minister, becoming its vicious villain – the Second Prince, a man who murders his own brothers, treats human life as worthless, and ultimately dies when the powerful minister Shen Yuan drives a sword through his heart.
To escape that fate, Xie Chengze resolves to keep his head down and stay far away from the struggle for the throne. Whenever matters of state come up, he has only three answers: “Dunno. Ask the Crown Prince!” “Dunno. Ask Shen Yuan!” and “Dunno. Ask the Eldest Prince!”
Yet the looks Shen Yuan and the princes give him only grow more dangerous – and in every possible sense of the word.
–
After killing Xie Chengze with a single thrust of his sword, Shen Yuan opens his eyes to find himself ten years in the past.
In his previous life, the Second Prince flouted the law, brought ruin upon the country and misery upon its people, and threw the imperial court into chaos for nearly a decade. This time, Shen Yuan intends to uproot his faction as early as possible and restore peace and order to the realm.
Instead, he watches the once-vicious man devote himself to the common people, transform a wilderness into a land of abundance with his own hands, and usher in an age of peace and prosperity.
He has endless tenderness for the world – yet before Shen Yuan alone, he refuses to bow his head or bend his back.
The Palace Maid Dies of Embarrassment Every Day
*Book Transmigration · Inner Voice · System · Groveling Exes · Hidden Identities*
Shengsheng Zhou was a cannon-fodder bug in the story. She had thought that once Zhiyao kept the plot on track, she would be rewarded with a flawless reincarnation.
Unfortunately, each of these three men was stranger than the last.
When she had been a palace maid, they had treated her like a plaything.
She had assumed that once she donned a new identity, she could pay them back for every humiliation she had suffered.
Their behavior, however, left her utterly baffled.
The yandere villain told her, “I will offer the head of my own emperor as the bride price for the princess’s hand.”
The tyrant male lead, eyes red, bared his chest to her. “I owe you one life. Take mine.”
The scheming second male lead pinned her against a wall. “Kiss me once, and my life is yours.”
Shengsheng Zhou: “…Would any of you like a sour plum to calm down?”
Hogwarts: Who Dies Once a Year, Anyway?

My Entire Class Is Made Up of S-Class Anomalies, and You Call Them Disabled Students?
Li Que had transmigrated.
In this world, anomalies lurked everywhere, and ordinary people lived in constant fear.
Fortunately, he had awakened the [Good Teacher System]. As long as he properly taught the handful of troubled students in his class, he could become an anomaly wielder.
So he happily wrote lesson plans and taught his students.
Then, one day, everything changed.
A girl with autism burst into tears. Storm clouds blanketed the sky as anomaly domains spread unchecked!
The boy who loved sleeping through class opened his eyes. The entire world fell asleep as nightmares descended upon it!
The food-obsessed boy looked up at the stars, opened his mouth, and swallowed. Heaven and earth went dark!
At that moment, Li Que was utterly dumbfounded.
Li Que: “What the hell? Every student in my class is an S-class anomaly?!”
Rebel? Me? I’m Only Four!
A Little Spirit Mushroom has been reborn as a human-weak, pitiful, and recently orphaned with no home to call her own.
To get a bite to eat, a place to stay, and to settle her karmic debts, the Little Spirit Mushroom diligently (not really) became the personal maid of a powerful patron.
When her master worked, she slept. When her master had pastries, she stole them. When her master drank tea, she tasted it first. When her master was targeted by assassins, she was the first to run.
The Little Spirit Mushroom successfully annoyed her master and was punished with reflection against a wall.
But later, her master couldn’t bear to punish her anymore.
Finally, through her efforts, her patron helped her complete her revenge.
Her mission accomplished, the Little Mushroom prepared to retire, secretly asking her master to grant her a small territory where she could live out her days in peace.
However, once the Little Mushroom grew up, her master dragged her off to become the Empress.
The Little Mushroom sighed; being an Empress was even harder than being a mushroom.
