Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.”Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?”The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?”Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!”“Oh!!!!”The audience erupted into thunderous applause.“Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately.The applause grew even more fervent...(The protagonist, possessed by a devil, travels through 19th-century Britain in a world without magic)

Crimson Vale Academy—where reputation is currency, and failure is a stain you wear on your sleeve.Behind gothic walls and spotless uniforms, students aren't just educated—they're measured, ranked, and pitted against each other in a brutal meritocracy. Privileges are earned, not given. The strong rise. The weak vanish.Enter Kairon Vale, a transfer student marked Rank D—the bottom of the bottom. No badge. Just a stitched black fang, branding him as “Obsidian”—a warning to others.In a system where points dictate your value, Obsidian-ranked students claw for every opportunity to ascend into the prestigious Golden or Platinum ranks—where comfort, power, and influence await. But for most, it’s a losing battle.Yet Kairon isn’t here to fit in, impress, or play by their rules. Cold, calculating, and impossible to read, he watches the system… and waits. Because while the academy judges worth by numbers and names—he understands something deeper:Everyone wears a mask. And every mask can be cracked.Let the games begin.

In the Shen family in Ningcheng, there are good girls in pairs. The eldest lady, Shen Ru, is shrewd and capable, and the second lady, Shen Yan, is delicate and charming. One day, there was an extra third lady——Shen Wei.

Taciturn and unremarkable in appearance, like a small white pear in the wind, weak and helpless.

Father Shen: “Let’s keep it.”

Mother Shen: “The daughter of a bitch is still a bitch.”

Shen Ru: “A petty air.”

Shen Yan: “Brother Qi hates dodder flowers the most.”

Shen Yu sneered: Don’t worry, take your time, no one can escape!

…

In the previous life, Shen Yu’s blood flowed out, her internal organs were emptied, and she died on the cold operating table. Thirty years old, no children and no daughters.

In this life, she came here for revenge. She took every step of the way and turned Ning Cheng upside down, but unintentionally provoked the Great Demon King.

Quan Hanting, respected by everyone as “Six Lord”, is cold-hearted and ruthless, and his identity is a mystery.

【Small cute bag】

It is said that on the day the baby was born, Quan’s father was in so much pain that he died.

Well, bitten by Mommy Quan.

- Description from novelbuddy

This is a story about a legend, of one that can never be forgotten.
Summer, first time down the mountains in 16 years, after being raised by his 3 masters and Fairy sister.

‘Why won’t you follow the Rules of society?’ The rules are the tool made by the strong, so I follow my own rules.

‘Why won’t you just use your brain instead of your brawn?’ Idiot! Have you ever seen anyone use their brain, to get back at an ant that bites them!? No, they just casually step on it.

‘Oh, everyone says you’re a first-class beauty huh?’ well, I’m sorry but even you are not qualified to be my wife. Only a ‘Summer class beauty’ is worthy enough!

‘My enemy is sick?’ Oh, don’t worry, even if you’re on your last breath and I feel it’s beneath me to slap shot you dead. I’ll just fix you up and then beat you!

‘Who am I?’

“I am Summer in the spring, the autumn, and the winter, I’m the world’s first above the heavens!”

Follow me, Summer Day as I step by step become known as the world’s first master, the world’s first doctor, the world’s richest man…… a lot of other world’s number one, but most importantly, The worlds happiest man.
