The Emperor's Merchant Prince

No sooner had Gu Yanshu become the richest man in the post-apocalyptic world than he found himself transmigrated—into the body of a delicate young noble in the Tianqi Empire, betrothed to the infamous Prince Li. Prince Li, the empire’s most feared war god, was a man whose mere presence could silence a crying child. His reputation for ruthlessness was legendary. Yet, as Gu Yanshu recalled the prince’s devastatingly handsome face from his inherited memories, a single traitorous tear escaped the corner of his mouth. Looks aren’t important… I just have a thing for bad tempers. Everyone in Tianqi knew Prince Li was a volatile, cruel man. When the imperial decree arranged the marriage between him and the Gu family’s famously beautiful but empty-headed young master, the entire empire mourned: What a waste of the capital’s most stunning youth. Gamblers even placed bets on whether the frail Gu heir would survive past the third-day wedding rituals. Yet three days passed. Then three years. Not only did Gu Yanshu thrive—he became the one person who could melt Prince Li’s icy heart. The other imperial princes had initially sighed in relief when they heard the third prince was getting a male consort—and a famously dim-witted one at that. But after the marriage, Prince Li’s fortunes soared. He distinguished himself with unprecedented achievements, introduced miraculous inventions like cement, glass, and paper, and lived so prosperously it sparked widespread envy. Prince Li, basking in marital bliss, could only smirk: “They say a wise wife brings fortune. The ancients told no lies.”

Harry Potter: The Potion Mistress

Raised in the quiet seclusion of her grandfather’s grand home, a young girl of extraordinary talent has spent her early years far from the bustle of the wizarding world. Homeschooled and protected, she has been immersed in the study of potions, charms, and magic, guided by a master whose knowledge is unrivaled and whose love is unwavering. Forbidden from attending Hogwarts, she has learned more than most students could hope to in decades, yet the world beyond her home remains a tantalizing mystery. As she grows, the girl must navigate the delicate balance between the safety of her grandfather’s care and the call of her own destiny. Hogwarts beckons—a place of learning, friendship, rivalry, and self-discovery—and she must find the courage to step into a world where she is no longer sheltered, where peers will challenge her, and where the bonds of magic and friendship will shape her in ways she never imagined. Amidst the thrill of spells, the forging of her identity, and the trials of adolescence, she will encounter the complexities of the heart. True love, loyalty, and the discovery of her own strength await her as she learns not only what it means to be gifted, but what it means to belong. Her journey is one of magic, of mastery, and of finding a place in a world she has long observed from afar—a world that is now ready to embrace her fully. ………………………………………. Author’s Note: Just a quick reminder before you begin—this fanfic is written entirely by me. I only use AI to help refine the grammar and polish the text. All the characters (Well except my own MC the other are all belong to JKR), plot, and story decisions are my own. I mention this at the start for those who may not prefer stories that use any form of AI assistance. I want to be upfront so you know what to expect. This fanfic is firmly in the Yuri genre, focused on a female lead and her romantic relationship with Hermione Granger. It centers around a single love interest, Hermione, and unfolds as a slice-of-life story, capturing the everyday moments and emotional nuances of their bond. I hope you enjoy the story and the journey ahead!

Reborn as System

A cunning lawyer shot dead by a plaintiff's victim for defending a sexual predator, his soul hovers in various universes trying to slip through the dimensional cracks. Until... Fate brought him to a new body named Liam, a child in a mystical world in a civilization inhabited by dangerous entities and untold conflicts. Not only was he born again, but he also has a mysterious existence called “system” that authorized him to ravage the world. He, guided by the mysterious entity referred to as "system" will take him on various types of adventures; learning every magic, mastering every weapon, understanding every martial, and destroying anything that stands in his way. But wait, something went wrong... Turns out there was no system! It was nothing more than a cunning lawyer’s scheme to manipulate an innocent child. His soul failed to take over the child's body, now he is silent with a foul plan to wait for the time of rebirth. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• [Warning! Host caught up in the enemy's plan!] "Three seconds before he attacked, I knew. My system is never wrong," Liam whispered as he plunged the knife into his enemy's throat. Reality: He developed extreme paranoia after being betrayed multiple times. Every stranger was considered a threat, they were enemies before he even met them. [Host uses a skill named: "Predator's Gaze"] 'As soon as I look into their eyes, they tremble. This system makes my aura scary,' he said to himself, marveling at the entity called system. Reality: The look in his eyes was full of hatred and emptiness, as well as not sleeping for more than a week and being locked in a dark room for 40 days. [Congratulations! Host successfully unlocked the skill: "Unbreakable Focus"] "If it wasn't for this skill, I would've panicked when my guts were spilling out," he said flatly, while reinserting his intestines. Reality: He was experiencing acute derealization due to severe mental illness, his mind could no longer distinguish between horror and reality. [Congratulations! Host successfully accessed the hidden skill: "Mind Split"] "One part of my mind fights, one part thinks. This skill is amazing," he said in a life-and-death battle. Reality: Liam has dissociative disorder, multiple personalities formed due to constant mental torture; one of his alter egos is a coping mechanism from guilt. [Congratulations! Passive skill acquired: "Emotion Suppression"] "Hahahahaha!!! I didn't feel anything even when I killed those children!!!" he said, in a hollow maniacal laughter. Reality: Liam suffered emotional numbness from being forced to make cruel decisions for the sake of survival too many times, system is just a cover for rationalization. ————————————————— ZERO TO HERO Protagonists can't just turn someone into a tomato juice within the first chapter. That also doesn't mean readers will be faced with boring repetitive leveling, like having to kill 1 million slimes just to level up 1 level. TWO PROTAGONISTS? Lawyer and Liam are one person even though they have opposite personalities. The combination of a naive kid who could die silly without knowing his potential, with a cunning lawyer with no real power other than his insight; is the journey of one complex individual. RPG WORLD SETTINGS? The system is nothing more than a falsity that the lawyer has created, hence he does not have the godlike abilities that the general system is known for. Even so, the world mechanics still work within the framework of popularly known RPGs. *I don't own any copyright for the novel cover. It was made with AI-generated images and licensed fonts.
