"Tell me to stop, Ruth," he whispered, letting his minty breathe fan over my lips. He sounded desperate.. broken. As it has always been with us, the word 'stop' was on the tip on my tongue, but what came out was entirely different. Cupping his face between my hands, I swallowed the lump in my throat, unable to make myself fight him - or myself - anymore. It was a losing battle, anyways. Looking him straight in the eye, I whispered back, "don't stop, Caleb. Not now... Not ever." ****** At first glance, Ruth Brooke's new boss Caleb Cross gave the impression of an immature, flirty playboy. At second glance, her first impressions were unsurprisingly confirmed. But what was surprising was the absence of her usual reaction to a casanova. Instead of dismissing him for the sarcastic player that he was, Ruth unwillingly feels drawn to him. She has always judged a book by its cover. But she is soon to find out that Caleb Cross is someone who has a shiny, new cover on every page of his book. And it is up to her to peel it off and discover the real Caleb Cross in all his gore, without losing her heart in the process. // Hey readers! This is my first novel, so please bear with me.

[One female protagonist, one-to-one romance with a White-Haired Sword Immortal junior sister]+[MC is Smart, Witty, and Full of Tricks] Through a twist of fate, Lu Bingxuan found himself reborn into a new life ---- stuck with a quirky, stubborn, and utterly unreliable system. The system's first checkpoint: The Changsheng Dao Sect, where Lu earned the Heavenly Spirit Root after spending five years wandering to reach it. The second checkpoint: Inside the bath barrel of a stunning junior sister, with the Xuanming Dao Body as the reward. By this point, Lu's mental state started to crack. The third checkpoint: Convince the junior sister to enter his bath barrel, for the Xuanming True Manual. Left with no choice, Lu had to rely on his silver tongue. The fourth checkpoint: The grave of the junior sister’s fiancé, where the reward... left Lu in stunned silence. “Wait, is this system even serious?” Years later, that junior sister had become the world’s greatest Sword Immortal, her cold and peerless beauty matched only by her ability to wield a sword that could topple the sun and moon with a single strike. As for Lu Bingxuan? Well, he wasn’t one to boast, but he could certainly show her what "toppling the heavens and the earth" really meant.

In a distorted reality, Frecitannia's Empire conquered Japan entirely, depriving its people of their values and heritage. The nation and its citizens were stripped of their pride and are viewed as disposable slaves trimmed down to second class citizens. Lucius Von Imperius, the offspring of the Japanese princess and the Empire's ruler, unexpectedly acquires a Nanomachine that gives him the power to manipulate time to some extent. Using his power, he becomes the notorious terrorist and criminal called Eon, determined to bring an end to the oppressive Frecitannian regime through his intelligence and strategic smarts. Engaged in warfare, deceit, politics and brutality, he struggles as a teenage boy balancing an ordinary life with friends, family, school and the need to conceal his true identity for the safety of the people he cares for. (This novel draws a lot of inspiration from the popular anime and manga series Code Geass. I decided to create it because I couldn't find another work of fiction that captured the essence of the anime, so I wanted to be the first to do so. While there may be similarities, I aim to bring my own unique perspective to the story, as a masterpiece like Code Geass cannot be replicated.) I am only a novice writer, so I don't anticipate producing anything above exceptional.
