Casse-tête

For three years, Celia Rodriguez believed her success was the result of her hard work. Declaring her husband, William Belmont, as nothing but dead weight, she demands a divorce. But what she doesn't know is that every victory she's ever claimed was secretly orchestrated by him. Since being average was a crime, William would show her who was the unworthy one!

On our third wedding anniversary, I lit candles, cooked her favorite meal, and waited. She said she was working late. I went to surprise her. Instead, I found my wife walking into a hotel with another man—laughing, kissing—while I stood in the street like a fool. That night, I filed for divorce. The next day, her lover shoved me into traffic. The car should have killed me. Instead, I woke up with a power I can’t explain—five frozen seconds where the world stands still, and only I can move. Five seconds to expose a lie. Five seconds to ruin an enemy. Five seconds to make them choke on every ounce of humiliation they gave me. They took my love, my trust, and the life I built. Now I’m taking everything from them—slow enough that they’ll see it coming, and fast enough they can’t stop it. She betrayed me. They tried to bury me. But I’m not the man they remember. I’m the man they’ll regret ever crossing.

Hosh, who suffers from leprosy, continues to be insulted by his wife and mother-in-law who are the highest throne owners in the Zenith Clan. “Look at you, Hosh! All those fancy clothes of yours can't even cover up those hideous skins. What wife do you think would be willing to walk hand in hand with a husband like you? You're so disgusting. I don't even want to see you!" Wilo tossed his beautiful wavy hair. Until one day Hosh chose to return to his family's house to calm down. Hosh finds out that he is a Nilas. A special person who has the qualities of four clans at once. “Most likely, you are a Nilas. Like your parents and also like your grandmother. She is a Nilas.” Hosh decided to get back at all the bad treatment he received earlier. Did he succeed in transforming into a Nilas? Will he be able to avenge everyone's bad treatment to him? Did he manage to unravel the dark secret of the death of his parents?

“Stop!” Shiro shouted, his voice raw, tears in his eyes. But they kept taunting, circling closer. He could feel the energy building inside him, it was getting out of control. He had never felt it like this—so wild, so powerful. He couldn’t stop it. Shiro always thought he was just an ordinary boy, weak and powerless. But everything changed that day. He discovered he was part of a world he never knew existed—a world where he could control the elements, a world where he was destined to be a hero. Serevaal is in danger. The Dark One has returned, stronger than before. The people need a savior, but Shiro isn’t sure if that could ever be him. He’s just a boy, not a warrior. With new powers he barely understands and allies he must learn to trust, Shiro must face impossible challenges, uncover buried truths, and fight an evil far greater than he imagined. Betrayal. Sacrifice. Destiny. Will he rise and save Serevaal, or will he fall before the darkness consumes everything?

Jacob Smith went down on one knee, only to be met with laughter, and the cruel sight of her walking away with another man’s promise. That man was a billionaire.

When pharmaceutical genius Dr. Alex Chen dies in a lab explosion, he awakens in the body of Xiao Feng—the "useless" third young master of a declining cultivation family. Crippled meridians, endless humiliation, and a legacy of betrayal await him in the ruthless world of immortal cultivation. But Alex brings something no cultivator has ever possessed: modern scientific knowledge that transforms ancient alchemy into an unstoppable force. Bound to the mysterious **Revenge System**, he's compelled to settle every grudge from his host body's tormented past. Each completed mission unlocks devastating alchemical formulas and forbidden techniques. Where others see mystical pill recipes, Alex sees molecular structures. Where masters take decades to master basics, he revolutionizes millennia-old practices overnight. **"Impossible! How can a cripple create Heaven-grade pills?"** From the scheming cousin who sold him out, to the corrupt elder who murdered his friend, to the demonic lord who destroyed his family—every enemy will face his calculated wrath. But as Alex climbs from the sect's bottom to the realm's peak, he discovers the System's true purpose isn't justice. It's harvesting. Armed with explosive compounds disguised as cultivation pills, poison antidotes that shouldn't exist, and breakthrough elixirs that shatter natural limits, Alex must master both revenge and romance. The brilliant Mei Ling captures his heart, but can he trust her when everyone has hidden agendas? **In a world where strength determines everything, the strongest weapon isn't a sword—it's science.** Will Alex break free from the System's control and forge his own destiny, or will his pursuit of revenge consume everything he's fighting to protect? *Power. Revenge. Redemption. The formula for immortality has never been deadlier.*

Devansh Magnus is a broke university student, a walking tragedy, and worst of all—the infamous "Leash Lover" of his department. He had spent his days chasing after Aranya Sen, worshiping the ground she walked on, doing anything to get her attention. But in the end, what did he get? She crushed him like an insect. Kicked him aside like a stray dog. And just when he thought life couldn’t get any worse—Ashen Graves nearly sent him to the afterlife. Now, standing in front of a vending machine with an empty stomach and emptier pockets, he dug around, hoping for a chump change. Nothing. Except for one single, 4ucking useless coin. He stared at it, cursing his pathetic existence. Then, out of nowhere—he just started laughing. The kind of laugh that wasn’t funny, that teetered between despair and insanity. "This is it? This is all my life amounts to? Hahaha... Fuck my life." And then—something insane happened. [Ding! Suitable Host Detected...] [Synchronizing Thoughts… The Host’s Personality Meets the Criteria for Fusion…] [Ding! Initiating Fusion…] [Ding! Fusion Complete.] [Counter-Love Wealth System Successfully Activated.] Devansh’s eyes widened as the information flooded his mind. '99 TRILLION' in wealth. More money than he could ever dream of. But there was a catch—he could only spend it on beauties. And if he successfully countered a love attack? He’d get back 10% of what he spent, plus extra rewards. For the first time in his miserable life, Devansh grinned. He had begged. He had suffered. He had been used and discarded. But not anymore. Now, he would bind those untouchable women and turn the game in his favor. He wasn’t chasing anymore. Now, they would come to him.

The sincerity I gave to the woman I loved was in vain. Like everyone else, she saw me as an embarrassment and only wanted to take advantage of me. Until I know my true identity, they won't be able to do what they did before. I will repay them with everything I have without trying because I am greater than them.

Most would grovel just at the thought of being the sole heir of the billionaire, Newton Bishop, but not Justin, even after the discovery of his paternity. He is unwillingly drawn into a life he wasn't prepared for. It did come with it's perks, but it sure does have a price. Does Justin know what it costs? Does he have what it takes to pay the cost?
