rebirth
A powerful, prickly female protagonist vs. a two-faced male protagonist + a wife-chasing saga + a spiritual spring space + daily life raising children + face-slapping and wealth accumulation
In her previous life, Lin Yao married a military officer and stayed home to raise their child while the couple lived apart. She was simply waiting for the child to grow older so she could join her husband at his military posting.
Unexpectedly, her sister-in-law became jealous of the military allowance Lin Yao received from her husband. The woman instructed her own daughter to push Lin Yao’s son into a river, where he drowned.
Lin Yao completely lost control. She took revenge on everyone involved and was eventually executed by firing squad.
Only after her death did she learn the truth: she was merely the vicious ex-wife who died early in a sweet romance novel featuring Qin Shishen, a restrained, abstinent, old-cadre-style villain.
In the novel, she is portrayed as selfish and money-hungry. After giving birth to twins, she abandoned the elder child to the male lead immediately after birth, while keeping the younger one by her side and using the child to threaten him at every turn...
“Ah… it’s finally the ending.”
After falling asleep drunk on beer, I woke up inside a terrible fantasy novel.
For an entire year, I lived exactly as the trash author intended. Following the original story, I saved the world from the Demon King and finally met my death.
While waiting to wake up back in my original world.
But then…
[Ding!]
[Even when Part 1 ends, the story continues!
And thus begins Part 2!
Welcome to I’ve Ended Up As the World-Saving Saint !]
‘That cursed hack actually wrote a Part 2?!’
“You scam artist! Forget everything else—just send me back to my original world!!!”
In the end, I struck a deal with the terrible author: If I finished Part 2 without anyone discovering my true identity, I’d be sent back home.
“So Part 2 is a childcare story? Fine. I’ll speedrun this damned childcare arc.”
The problem was that Part 2 shared the same world setting as Part 1, so I kept running into my former companions.
And somehow, every single one of them had turned completely strange.
“What the hell happened to these people?”
On top of that, the duchess whose body I possessed was hiding an enormous secret…
“Caw?!”
Will I ever make it back home?
Male Lead: Leonhart Jenetic Filio
The third prince of the Filio Empire and one of the companions who defeated the Demon King alongside Adela five years ago. He has since become a swordmaster. Having been relentlessly tormented by Adrianne in the past, he harbors a hatred toward her bordering on disgust. Because of his lingering guilt toward Adela, Leonhart finds himself opposing Adrianne over the construction of a statue currently underway… yet the traces of Adela he senses within Adrianne leave him deeply conflicted.
Female Lead: Adrianne Ivrante
Before possessing someone else’s body, she was an architecture student. In Part 1, I’ve Ended Up As the World-Saving Hero, she possessed the body of the spirit swordswoman Adela and succeeded in saving the world. However, instead of returning to her original world, she ends up possessing the villain Adrianne from Part 2, I’ve Ended Up As the World-Saving Saint. In order to return home, she must bring the story of Part 2 to its conclusion… but she can’t stop worrying about how her former companions have changed because of her death.
By reputation, Qin Wanru was a manipulative seductress who ruined countless lives. In reality, she was a naive girl, made a scapegoat for the wrongs of others. With one final, horrible accusation, she put to death more brutally than any woman in the history of Dongcang Kingdom. Now she has a second chance. Reborn the day before the wedding that would first stain her reputation, Qin Wanru takes the chance to make things right. But a sheltered past life means she has little more information than her first. Making a better life will mean learning how to survive in the cutthroat world of the capital city, dealing with the mercurial and charming second prince, and uncovering the secrets of her own history.
In her previous life, Xia Zhiwei gave everything she had—heart and soul—treating her husband’s elder sister like her own. She was obedient, sensible, and endlessly tolerant, yet all she received in return was a carefully orchestrated deception.
Her sister-in-law feigned concern, but in truth was scheming step by step to take her child away. Her in-laws appeared kind on the surface, but behind her back they had already planned how to sell her off. She was sold and still foolishly counted money for others, only realizing everyone’s true faces when she died from complications during childbirth.
Filled with boundless hatred, Xia Zhiwei is reborn at the age of twenty.
Just as news arrives that her husband has “died in the line of duty,” the all-too-familiar scene and those familiar, hypocritical faces make her eyes burn red with rage.
This time, she will never repeat the same mistakes.
She will strip her in-laws’ household bare and turn the tables completely…
In her previous life, Shen Xiaoyan was drained dry by her so-called family, only to meet a tragic end. Given a second chance at life, she is reborn with a powerful system and a mysterious space. This time, she refuses to be exploited again—those “bloodsucking” relatives can take their schemes elsewhere.
At just six years old, after losing her parents, Shen Xiaoyan decisively packs her belongings and returns to the countryside with her grandfather and uncles. In this new life, she is determined to take control of her own fate and never be manipulated again.
But peace doesn’t come easily—troublemakers keep trying to disrupt her quiet life. Fortunately, Shen Xiaoyan is no longer the helpless girl she once was. Armed with her system, her space, and an unyielding will, she cuts through every obstacle in her path and builds a life on her own terms.
For the past month, Shen Zhiyao had been having the same dream over and over again—fragmented, yet always the same. In it, she saw her past life.
It was an era of hardship, where people struggled just to find enough food and clothing. She had been sent down to the countryside, living in a small village. One day, a sudden torrential rain triggered a mudslide. Weak and frail, she couldn’t escape in time and was swept into the rushing mud.
Just when she thought she was about to die, a man in a green military uniform saved her. But in the process, the soldier’s leg was struck by a falling tree trunk, leaving him crippled for life. He never married and spent the rest of his days alone.
Ever since those dreams, Shen Zhiyao had been weighed down by gloom. Then, out of nowhere, she obtained a system space—and a vague premonition that she was about to return to that very era.
