Reluctant God: My Path to Kingship Through Getting Beaten

Modern office worker Su Xiaotang stayed up late binge-watching dramas and woke up as the "weakest in the entire sect"—a useless young lady in the cultivation world. Before she could react, villains cornered her to "teach her a lesson," but she accidentally bound to the "Getting Beaten = Getting Stronger" system: a slap gives ten years of cultivation, a kick unlocks top-tier techniques! To activate it, she went from a scared runaway to a "hit-seeking maniac": provoking villain disciples on purpose, telling demon cultivators "Hit me!" and even tugging Immortal Lord Luo Xuanye's sleeve begging for "gentleness." But Luo Xuanye didn't hit her—he smiled at her blushing ears: "Want to get stronger? I'll teach you—but my way." Since then, Su Xiaotang, labeled the "sect's weirdo," frantically sought beats while being secretly doted on by Luo: when villains attacked, he blocked the fatal strike and said, "I took this for you—you owe me." When the system required a fatal blow for the ultimate skill, he gave her his heart-protecting pill and whispered, "I'll stay with you." When the useless lady rose to the "strongest in the world" through挨打, she realized—the sweetest "beating" was Luo's exclusive doting, hidden under his cold exterior.

When My Goddess Spends 1 Yuan on Me, the System Returns Tenfold

Chen Mo, a 26-year-old "invisible man" at an internet company, has secretly loved Lin Xiaoman, the "vitality goddess" from the next team, for three years—she’s the one who always brings hot milk tea to overtime colleagues but counts printing paper by the sheet, a "contrasting cute accountant". One day, Lin forgot her subway card, so Chen swiped his for her (1 yuan). Lin insisted on transferring the money back. The moment Chen accepted it, his phone popped up a notification: "Crush’s Consumption Return System: For every 1 yuan your goddess spends on you, the system returns 10 yuan." From 1-yuan steamed buns, 1-yuan courier fees to 1-yuan throat lozenges, every little spend from Lin triggered the return. As Chen’s balance soared, their relationship warmed into "cat co-parents". But when he took a necklace bought with the returned money to confess, Lin smiled and took out her phone: "I asked my programmer friend to make this system—I’ve known you’ve been saving up for my gift for ages!" It turned out all Lin’s "1-yuan spends" were intentional tests. She waited three years to see if Chen would forget his original heart because of money. Chen hugged her with red eyes, realizing the most precious "tenfold return" was never money—it was the love Lin hid in every 1 yuan.

As Bright as a Thousand Suns

In the winter of 1977, Lin Wan, an educated youth, had her city return quota stolen by her stepsister Lin Xiaotang through schemes, forcing her to stay in Cherry Valley, a poor mountain village. Disheartened, she discovered the village’s wild cherries were delicious but hard to preserve—so she used her Agricultural College knowledge to improve the variety and build a cold storage. Just as the cooperative thrived, Lin Xiaotang returned with her businessman boyfriend to buy the orchard and turn Cherry Valley into a resort (destroying the trees). Lin Wan united villagers to expose the truth via live stream, saving the orchard and making “Cherry Valley” an internet-famous brand. In the end, she gained villagers’ trust, got together with Chen Mo (the village party secretary’s son who’d always supported her), and lived a life brighter than any city return—like a thousand suns.

Ten Years Later: I Protect My Kid From the Stepmother

Lin Xiaoman, a fiery 26-year-old real estate agent, wakes up ten years in the future—to find a 7-year-old girl huddled in the sofa corner: her daughter, Xiaocao! A woman in a lace dress, Zhang Min (the stepmother), is yanking Xiaocao’s hair and yelling: "You little pest! Dared to knock over my perfume?" Lin’s eyes redden instantly: Xiaocao’s school pants have a purple bruise on the knee (from being kicked), and her pencil case in the bag is full of cracks (from being thrown). It turns out Lin went missing ten years later, her husband Xu Chuan married Zhang Min, and Xiaocao became a "punching bag": eating leftover instant noodles in the morning, washing the whole family’s socks at night, and being locked on the balcony if she doesn’t finish her homework. Using her "handle-grabbing" skill from being an agent, Lin installs a camera to record Zhang Min hitting Xiaocao, digs up her embezzlement bills, and even gets evidence that Zhang Min framed her disappearance. When Xu sees the whip marks on Xiaocao’s back, he slaps Zhang Min and shouts: "Get out!" Holding Xiaocao, Lin says: "Mom’s back—no one will hurt you again."
