When the enigmatic and overpowered Kieran Drayke awakens in a foreign magical world after a sudden transmigration, he brings along a system unlike any this realm has ever known. The “Sovereign Architect System” doesn’t just make him invincible—it gives him the tools to build something far greater.But Kieran isn’t interested in world domination. At least, not in the usual way.Disillusioned by the world's surface-level glimmer and the rot beneath it, Kieran sets his sights on the forsaken—those discarded by society, lost in the shadows of nobility and corruption. From slums, war zones, and forgotten ruins, he gathers orphan girls of various races—elves, beastkin, humans, and more—each with untapped potential and pain behind their eyes.He trains them in secret. Guides them. Empowers them. Not as soldiers, but as a family. A hidden organization that operates behind the curtains, shaping the world while appearing as ordinary students at the prestigious Aetherion Magic Academy.Kieran himself? Just a carefree, slightly lazy transfer student with a penchant for sweets, sarcasm, and sneaking naps between classes—on the surface, at least.With a slow-burning plot that weaves magical worldbuilding, deep friendships, training arcs, casual comedy, and a cast of unforgettable girls who grow into queens of the unseen, Chronicles of the Hidden Crown explores what happens when an OP MC doesn’t conquer the world with brute force…But builds a legacy from its forgotten pieces.No betrayal. No forced drama. Just the steady rise of a secret kingdom in the shadows of a crumbling empire.

There is always such a person in the world who likes to take their ex/Bai Yueguang/best friend as a stepping stone for their love.
These exes/Bai Yueguang/Girlfriends are called female supporting roles. They obviously did nothing. Just because they were involved with the male and female protagonists, they were trampled on, hurt, and even left a shadow that will never go away for a lifetime.
Jiang centrifugally felt sorry for those innocent girls, so he traveled from one world to another to help them cross that hurdle.
However, after a certain world, the mission is obviously wrong.
Jiang Li: “I will treat you well.”
“It’s not enough.” The girl imprisoned Jiang Li in her arms, breathing warmly: “Don’t leave, you must always be good to me, only to me.”
Jiang Li: ? ? ?
