#My Sister’s Constitution is a Mystery#

❝She was just a girl trying to survive. He was never supposed to care.❞

In the underbelly of Trilen Country—a place where justice is weak, and corruption runs deep—twenty-year-old Elishia lived an unremarkable life. Orphaned, broke, and trying to build a future through community college, her biggest worry used to be making rent.

Until one night, she was taken.

Dragged into a world of human trafficking, underground auctions, and mafia power games, Elishia finds herself branded as property—waiting to be sold to the highest bidder. But when a violent explosion shatters the auction and chaos erupts, she’s saved by the last person she expected: a trafficker with blood on his hands… and something strange in his eyes.

Now wounded and on the run, Elishia must navigate a world of shifting loyalties, buried secrets, and the blurry line between captor and protector. Can she survive long enough to reclaim her freedom? Or is she already entangled in something far more dangerous?

Ning Shengsheng is transmigrated into a cliché-ridden cultivation novel as the villainous princess. A system forces her to win over the main villain, Xue Chen.

She will die if she doesn’t stir up trouble, but if she goes too far, she’s afraid the villain will hold a grudge.
Her only option is to walk the high-risk path of “a slap, and then a sweet.”

One moment, she’s just finished whipping the villain, the next she’s sneaking to his door in the middle of the night with healing ointment, pretending to “just be passing by.” She’ll wear a veil to sabotage his cultivation until he coughs up blood, only to immediately raid the spiritual herb treasury to heal him.

The villain’s expression evolves from, “Are you insane?” to “Let’s see how long you can keep up this act.”

Then one day, the system’s missions take a strange turn, shifting from “harassing” the villain to “getting close and personal” with him.

【Host, please hold the villain’s hand.】 She bites the bullet and complies.
【Host, please praise the villain.】 Full of doubt, she does as she’s told.
【Host, please say you like the villain, that you love the villain.】

“What? Let’s just skip this one.”
The moment Ning Shengsheng refuses, the young man flicks open the silk sash at her waist with the tip of his blade, his fingers grazing her side. “Your Highness, why have you stopped doing the missions?”

Stunned, Ning Shengsheng stumbles back. “How do you know?”

His eyes dance with mockery as he opens his palm. “Is this your system? I co-opted it a long time ago.”
The useless system trembles, curled into a ball.

“Those ‘get close’ missions…?”

“Mhm. I wrote them.” He leans in, a morbid obsession in his expression, his breath ghosting past her ear. “Your Highness, for a person like me, once I get my hands on a piece of candy, I’ll never let go, even in death. Not even if it’s fake.”

Ning Shengsheng: “!”

After discovering she wasn’t the original “princess,” Xue Chen awakened his sinister nature. He seized her system and used it to draw her closer, making her cling to him until she could never escape his grasp.

After being banished with nothing but the clothes on her back from the convent she grew up in, Helena finds a job in an eerie mansion with strange rules that bind her there indefinitely. Still haunted by the ghosts of her past and the scars of trauma, she clings to routine, asking for nothing more than a place to survive the winter.

But the mansion is far from ordinary. Despite the servants’ kindness, something about it feels like a coffin frozen in time. Screams echo through the night. The scent of blood lingers in the halls. The lord of the house keeps to himself behind locked doors. But when he appears, drawn by the sound of her piano, he looks at her with something deeper than curiosity. Hunger.

As Helena spends her days dawdling in the library, tracing melodies on the old piano, she feels the walls watching her like a beast ready to pounce.

Yet Helena doesn’t fear the man they call a monster, or even the threat of being swallowed whole by darkness—what she fears is the awakening of something she’s been trying to bury away before it takes the little peace and freedom she has found.

I came to Isla Seraphine to save lives and not to get tangled up with Adrian Valcrosse, the arrogant, breathtaking heir who makes my blood pressure spike every time he opens his mouth.
He’s heat wrapped in a tailored suit.
Danger disguised as control.
And I swear he was put on this island specifically to test my patience.

But then the storm hits.
The kind that doesn’t give you choices.
One night.
One sea cave.
One fire.
One bed.
One impossible man whose touch burns straight through every barrier I thought I had.

What happens between us isn’t soft.
It’s consuming.
Forbidden.
A line I swore I’d never cross… and can’t take back once I do.

I came to the Lyris Isles for peace.
I found the one man who could ruin me… or save me.

Seventeen-year-old Aster is a commoner girl living with her Aunt Sally in the capital of Crescentis Kingdom. She remembers nothing from before she was seven—only a boy with brunette hair whom she constantly dreams of, the one who gave her a mysterious crescent moon crystal necklace engraved with the words:

“Once the sun and moon combine,
Realms unite and stars align.”

When her top grades earn her a place at Celentine Academy, a prestigious school for nobles, she meets Ranley, a young noble with the same name and brunette hair as the boy in her dreams. Convinced he might be the one, Aster is determined to get close to him and uncover the truth behind the necklace.

Navigating academy life won’t be easy, especially when the nobles see her as nothing more than a commoner. Along the way, she will find true friends, encounter magic and mischief, and even discover the first stirrings of love.

Yet beneath it all lies a greater mystery: Is Ranley truly the boy she once met, or is fate leading her toward a truth far more extraordinary?

I first wrote this story when I was seventeen, and now I’ve reconstructed it with a fresh perspective. Originally, it was only twenty-six chapters, but with the addition of new characters and a richer fantasy world, it has grown longer—likely around a hundred chapters or fewer. Please note that this is a slow-burn story, with moments of angst, twists, and unexpected turns along the way. I still hope you enjoy it and feel like a part of Aster’s journey as you read.

Sang Mu is a freelance exorcist with decent skills and a master from Longhu Mountain.

One day, she accepts a simple haunting job, only to find a faceless child calling her “Mom”.

Just as she’s nearly strangled to death, a mysterious man crashes in with more secrets than answers. Now, Sang Mu finds herself caught in the whirlwind.

Alina was supposed to be a forgettable noble lady.

But she carries a big secret—she once lived in another world, and after dying of cancer, she woke inside her favorite novel.

Determined to rewrite the story, she sets out to save Isolde, the tragic heroine destined to suffer at the hands of the emperor. But when the empire strikes earlier than she remembers and the princess is captured, Alina’s plans unravel. To change fate, she must ally with the general, Isolde’s doomed lover, whose death she has already prevented.

What begins as devotion to a character twists into something far messier: loyalties tested, bonds she never imagined, and a future that refuses to stay on the page.

Alina thought she had to fix Isolde’s ending. Instead, she might be rewriting hers.

When Myrren Vale is summoned to the royal palace, she expects suspicion. She expects secrets.
She does not expect him.

In the kingdom of Eirden—where magic hums beneath silk and every smile hides a blade—Myrren serves as a scentcrafter, trained in herbs, toxins, and the silent truths that cling to blood.

The court wants her quiet.
The crown wants her gone.
But Prince Thane… sees her.

Golden, gracious, and far too kind for the thorns surrounding his throne, he draws her into the palace’s glittering heart—offering warmth, safety, and something dangerously close to belonging.

Yet not all eyes in the palace are kind. The king’s ward, Lord Corven, watches her with unreadable silence—as if her very breath carries a truth he cannot ignore.

When nobles begin to die and the scents on their corpses whisper of poisons Myrren once crafted, she realizes the greatest danger is not the court’s corruption, nor the ancient power stirring awake beneath its stones.

It is what love makes you blind to.

Betrayed by the man she loved and bound to a crown that no longer holds meaning, an empress chooses freedom over titles—only to discover that even love forsaken can rise again from ruin.

“Even the moon can rise again after being eclipsed by the sun.”
“He was of the empire. She became the moon that outshone him.”

—
Bound by duty. Betrayed by love. Reborn by choice.

Elisana Laurel De Claire, daughter of a grand ducal house, was destined to be Empress – and for a time, she believed in the fairytale. Betrothed since childhood to her dearest friend, Crown Prince Marcus, their union was meant to bring peace and glory to the Salastian Empire.

But love fades beneath the weight of power. When another woman captures the Emperor’s heart, Elisana’s world shatters. Neglected, accused, and stripped of affection, she makes a choice no one expects – she walks away from the crown.

Years later, when rebellion threatens the empire, fate brings them together once more. This time, Marcus must face the woman he once forsook – not as his Empress, but as his equal.

Amid courtly intrigue, forgiveness, and the fragile bloom of second chances, The Forsaken Empress tells a story of heartbreak and healing – where even the moon can rise again after the darkest night.

I woke up with no memory at all.
“…”
But this man was always beside me. Somehow he could find me anywhere I would go.
“… who are you?”
“I’m your husband”
“…”
So I did what every sane person would do in my place as they confronted an unexpected situation.

I ran away.

“You can’t run around with no memory at all. You need me.”
“Bullshit.”

So I ran away again.

…but why are all those people after me?? Why do they want me dead?!

“Catch the demon! She’s going to kill us all!”
“What? What demon?”

And why is everyone chasing me now?? Starting with the Holy Order, The Royal Knights and even that Immortal Head Mage from that Tower who wants to die??

“Finally, I found you”
“F*ck off, she’s my wife.”
“…”

….Where did you learn to curse like that??

Cha Seo-yeong transmigrated into the novel she had been reading just before her death, landing inside the body of Elphie, a cannon fodder set to die.

The original novel revolved around the main character Ariadne, a holy mother type of figure, who captured the attention of two male leads—the Crown Prince and the Northern Duke. Despite all these settings, the novel ended in the death of all characters and the fall of the kingdom.

Now, the story begins anew, starting with the awakening in a new body. Seven months remain until the end of the original novel… what choices will Elphie make to survive?

This is just another rofan story.

After a tragic accident that sent her back 843 years in time to the year 1179, in the Middle Ages, during the reign of Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, Kate Mitchell, a wealthy business tycoon in the pharmaceutical industry, a gifted ex-military, a pharmacologist and botanist, and a brilliant archer from 2022, wakes up as Lady Philippa, a pretty, innocent, frail, and proper young lady of House Antioch, with whom she shares nothing in common. She realised she had died on that day, and her soul travels back in time and takes over the body of Philippa, a helpless lady who would face tragedy, betrayal, and scandal before dying young and heartbroken.

She chose to live as Philippa because she had a second chance at life and only one goal in mind: to live and survive at any cost. To succeed, she must thrive and learn to live in the Medieval era, where nothing is common for her, and, above all, she must avoid an arranged marriage, which will doom Phillipa to death after a terrible heartbreak.

Lady Philippa, unfortunately, is about to be engaged to an unknown man, and she must devise a plan to prevent this from happening. Kate’s background as an ex-military officer, pharmacologist, and botanist, as well as her limited knowledge of history, will be invaluable in surviving the historical mediaeval times when modern technology was out of reach. However, she requires the assistance of the reigning king, Baldwin IV, who is suffering from leprosy at the time. She’ll have to take control of the situation. It is up to Kate’s bravery and intelligence to find a way to persuade Baldwin IV to help her, and she has few options other than joining his royal court.

Will the king accept her, or will she perish as the body’s original owner? Will she be able to change her destiny? Alternatively, will she be able to find the love and family she seeks?
