To give her child a better chance at life, Xiu Ling accepted the contractual marriage offered by Lin Kang, the powerful CEO even though she had no love for the man and his family.
Unfortunately, the man and his family felt the same way towards her as well. They assumed Xiu Ling was just an opportunist who sold herself out to sneak her way into a life of luxury.
With support from her best friend, Xiu Ling slowly inched out of her shell. Her confidence and brilliance turned the Lin family to her side one by one, including her husband in name who now wanted to marry her for real.
Xiu Ling's best friend, Joann Fong, had everything a woman could have wanted in her life, a doting husband, a caring daughter and a shining career in entertainment.
However, her life started to unravel as contentment settled in. Blinded by self-assurance, Joann blamed everyone but herself.
Xiu Ling wanted to reach out to Joann to return the favor but would the proud woman allow weakness to enter her life and accept outside help before it was too late?

Metal Puppets
The global war ended two hundred years ago, not with a bang, but with a whimper.
Nations fought until resources were almost completely exhausted. By the time a cease-fire was called, the ability to return to the pre-war industrial era was nearly impossible.
With the lack of resources, humanity declined to a quasi-medieval society of city states.
Now 200 years later "Metalmancers" or those with the ability to control and shape metal have started to appear.
With these Metalmancers and their abilities to salvage and possibly operate pre-war technology, forces have started to come into play to vie for control, once again sending this scarred planet into war.
Mand and Val are two such Metalmancers who have been living on their own for the past several years. With new forces in play and old enemies on their trail, will they be able to lean on each other to survive this new emerging world?
**
It's really hard to fly a dragon made of metal.
They could of made a bull, a horse, or really any simple device that could haul a wedge-shaped plow, but someone insisted that they try and build a bloody dragon.
That someone now had her hands wrapped around Mand's waist and was having the time of her life.
"See, I told you this was a great idea," Val exclaimed. "We'll have that field done in no time!"
"You're not the one trying to steer this thing," Mand returned. "Now be a good sister and lower the tail so we can get to work."
Mand felt Val shift her weight and suddenly become very still as she began to concentrate. Inside the shell of the dragon, a complex system of gears began to whirr and rotate. The dragon's tail began to curve beneath the belly of the construct, until the wedge-shaped tip curved towards the ground.
Mand had her work cut out for her as well. She focused her mind on pumping the dragon's wings to keep aloft. The descended tail made the whole operation twice as taxing as it was before.
The tail clicked in place and Mand began their pass towards the field below. "Are you sure this will work?" she questioned her sister.
"It's my butt too," Val pouted. "You should have more faith in my plan!"
Mand brought the dragon closer and closer to the earth. She began to sweat as the ground inched closer. Finally, at the edge of the field, the tip of the tail sunk into the soft earth, plowing a furrow as the dragon swooped along.
When the dragon reached the far end of the field, Mand pumped the wings to get them back in the air. It was only when she brought the dragon around for another pass that she realized how hard she was breathing.
"See, I told you this would work!" Val shouted happily, kicking her legs out as they approached the field once again.
Mand felt darkness overtake her.

The lamp shade in 'A Christmas Story' is significant because it becomes a focal point of the narrative, often associated with funny and heartwarming moments. It also helps create a distinct visual image that fans remember.
First, gather materials like Christmas-themed fabric, sewing thread, and a lampshade frame. Next, cut the fabric into the desired shape and size. Attach the fabric to the lampshade frame using glue or sewing. Make sure the design is festive and appealing.
The lamp shade from 'A Christmas Story' is special because it's a big part of the movie's charm. It represents the family's character and the era. The odd shape and its presence in the home setting make it something that sticks in your mind.
The lamp shade from 'A Christmas Story' is quite iconic. It's that kooky, leg-shaped lamp shade that adds a really unique and humorous touch to the story's setting. It's one of those things that makes the movie so memorable.
First, you need some basic materials like a wire frame in the shape of a leg lamp shade. You can find this at a craft store or make it yourself using wire. Then, get some colored fabric. Red and white striped fabric could be a good choice to match the Christmas story theme. Cut the fabric to fit the wire frame and glue or sew it on.
Once upon a Christmas, there was a beautiful lamp shade in an old house. The family living there had a tradition of decorating the lamp shade every Christmas. They would wrap it with golden ribbons and attach small, shiny bells. At night, when the lamp was on, it cast a warm and festive glow all around the room. It became the centerpiece of their Christmas decorations, and every year they added a new ornament to it. It was like a growing Christmas memory that filled the house with joy.
In a Christmas story, a lamp shade could be a magical element. Imagine a lamp shade that when the Christmas star shines on it at midnight, it starts to project images of Christmas past. It might show old family celebrations, making the characters in the story remember the true meaning of Christmas and the importance of family traditions.
You might try antique stores. They often have unique items from different eras, and there could be a lamp shade related to a Christmas story there. Another option is thrift stores. People donate all kinds of things, and you might get lucky and find the lamp shade you're looking for.
Once upon a Christmas, there was a small table in an old attic. One of its legs was a bit wobbly. On the table, there was a beautiful lamp. A little mouse lived under the table. On Christmas Eve, the lamp seemed to glow with a special light. The mouse peeked out and saw the warm, yellow light of the lamp shining on the table leg. It was as if the table, leg and lamp were having their own little Christmas celebration, just in that quiet attic corner.
