The origin of novels can be traced back to ancient Greek and Roman narrative literature, such as Homer's Iliad and Odessey. The origin of novels in China could be traced back to works such as Song of Everlasting Sorrow from the Tang Dynasty and Water Margins from the Song Dynasty. The development of modern novels began in the 18th century in Europe during the Enlightenment, such as Daniel Defoe's Crusoe and Jane Austen's Pride and Predict. At the beginning of the 20th century, American novels were influenced by modern and post-modern trends, such as Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury and Ernest Hemmingway's The Sun Also Rises. After the 21st century, the novel has become one of the main forms of literature, creating a large number of classic works covering various schools and styles.

The Heiress Strikes Back

The Heiress Strikes Back

Sharon was an ordinary person, while her husband, Wallace Harris, was a promising and handsome man. His family was one of the most prestigious and wealthiest families in New York City. Being able to marry Wallace was an accident. Throughout their three years of marriage, Wallace had never slept with Sharon. His family also kept persuading him to divorce Sharon. It was the birthday party of the Harris family's old matriarch, and all youngsters of the Harris family had given the most expensive gifts possible to make the old lady happy—everyone but Sharon. She asked to borrow money from Madam Harris for the old housekeeper, Uncle Smith, as he had no money to pay for his medical treatment. But as expected, the Harris family humiliated her when she requested. "The Harris family has never had a poor relative like you. Don't you ever appear in front of me again! Wallace should've married Crystal. She's certainly a young lady who's worthy of marrying into our family!" said Madam Harris. "Please know your place and get out of here. Don't stay at our house anymore. How can Wallace's grandfather be so foolish to marry a poor, useless woman like you to my son?!" said June, Wallace's mother. "It's just a few million dollars, yet you're so poor that you need to borrow from our family. How can a woman like you deserve to be with Wallace? If it were Crystal, she definitely wouldn't have embarrassed us so much!" That night, Wallace handed Sharon a bank card, which contained millions of dollars. "The company is developing, so I don't have much cash. You can use this to help Uncle Smith." Facing the Harris family's hostility, Wallace stated, "Since I have married her, she is my responsibility. Regardless of her being rich or poor, Sharon is my wife." It wasn't until a stranger approached Sharon one day. Only then did Sharon know that she was the daughter of a top prestigious family, who was eligible to receive assets worth at least ten billion. She suddenly owned the largest company in New York and a bank card that contained hundreds of millions of 'pocket money.' In the blink of an eye, her identity had changed. She was no longer the poor daughter-in-law that wasn't favored by the Harris family. Instead, she had become the most prestigious person in New York!

The Bigshot Shocks The World When She Backs Home

The Bigshot Shocks The World When She Backs Home

Yao Tang, the daughter of the Yao family who mistakenly exchanged at birth, was finally found. Unexpectedly, since her parents felt that she was embarrassing, they never recognized her as their own, and claimed that she was a relative's child who came to live with them. Everyone thought that Yao Tang was just a bloodsucker who was greedy for glory and clung to her "relative's" family. Her father, Yao Feng, registered Yao Tang at the Municipal No.1 Middle School for school. Since Yao Tang failed all of her subjects, she was rejected by the teaching supervisor. When Yao Feng left with Yao Tang, he met the principal of No.1 Middle School. He quickly went up to greet him, but the principal walked past him and tugged at Yao Tang excitedly. "You're finally willing to come to school!" Yao Tang bumped into Cheng Yan, who had once saved her life. Cheng Yan's friends were all convinced that Yao Tang was a gold-digger and waited for her to ask Cheng Yan to pay. When the bill came, Yao Tang quietly rummaged through her bag. Cheng Yan's friend said, "See, she's just stalling for time and waiting for Brother Cheng to pay!" Yao Tang took out a diamond-studded card. "Waiter, how much discount am I given for this card?" The waiter replied, "Honored guest, our diamond black card entitles you to spend here for free!" After that, a group of elite bigshots appeared. The heir of a top corporation posted, "CEO Yao, you've been on leave for a long time. Come back to work!" The international hacker group flooded computer screens everywhere. [To Yao Tang: Boss, it's fine if you don't come back to work, but can you not assault your own database?] When the usually emotionless prince, Cheng Yan, saw his little wife being surrounded, he flipped the table angrily. "Everyone, stay away. This is my wife!"
