Fame, fortune, and glory. Pain, suffering, and despair. The two faces of the same coin. The dungeon offers this and more to those foolish or greedy enough to challenge it.
But for Raven, a lowly criminal, it seems like a fair place to hide and lie low after a successful escape from the neighboring kingdom's prison. And who knows, maybe the misfortune that has followed her for her entire life may begin to spin.

Lord of Scoundrels
He took her hand and began to peel off her glove.
“You’d better stop that,” she said. “You’re only going to make matters worse.”
He pulled away the glove, and at the first glimpse of her fragile, white hand, all thoughts of negotiation fled. “I don’t see how matters could become worse,” he muttered. “I am already besotted with a needle tongued, conceited, provoking ape leader of a lady.”
Her head jerked up. “Besotted? You’re nothing like it. Vengeful is more like it. Spiteful.”
“I must be besotted,” he said evenly. “I have the imbecilic idea that you’re the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen.”

Whatever It Takes 2: Scoundrels and Heroes - excerpt
Clara Redwood is only seventeen years old but her life had already been turned upside down when king Hayden, the infamous Burning Fury, ordered her to marry lord Oscar Huxley. A mysterious nobleman from an enemy kingdom. A man she has never met, a man who could be old, fat, and ugly. Or evil. On top of that, Clara’s brother is abducted and the kidnappers threaten to torture and execute him unless she poisons king Hayden.
Will Clara proceed with the assassination, trying to murder the king to save her brother’s life? Will she agree to marry a man who is quite possibly going to make her life hell in revenge for the war his country lost? How is she going to survive in a royal palace full of strangers, all alone, without a single soul she could trust? All that while hiding her own little secret, a thing unworthy of a proper lady she is supposed to be?
***
Part 2 of the Whatever It Takes series. I strongly recommend reading book 1 first (Whatever It Takes: The Royal Romance) since book 2 directly continues with the story.
The book is finished and edited, there will be daily updates until the end. There are 70 chapters + 1 bonus, around 170k words.

The author, Bird Pig, used his unique style to combine professional knowledge with humorous language, making people feel interesting while understanding.

Overall, National Forensics was a good book that was worth recommending. The readers should not miss it.
7:"Heroine Wait": Guan Guan's new work has already become the work of the Twelve Heavenly Kings. Its results should be the highest since the beginning of writing. Basically, it's still a continuation of the previous style. There's no problem with having more female leads. I hope Guan Guan will continue to work hard. There aren't many authors who don't feel depressed.
8."Mantang Colorful": 8.5. It's a new book by the author of the Song Dynasty. Actually, it's not new anymore. I've saved it for a long time. Recently, I really didn't have any books to read, so I started killing it. Yes, yes, it's very good. I just finished reading, and I haven't read any books recently. I'm still raising squid books, so I'll open them if I have to!
9."Hidden Dead Corner": World Completeness:80 World Breadth:70 Plot Rationally:87
Overall Rating:86
Horrifying Dead Corner
Armor Fusion
The cyberpunk worldview
10."Final Divine Duty": How should I put it? The type was very similar to the Atlas of Heaven and Man. However, the background was science fiction, and the social setting and style were a little more relaxed than the Heaven and Man Atlas.
The combat power setting was a combination of three types of martial arts Prosthetics.
The reason why I chose it was because I have a high score for martial arts books. As for this book, the author should not be a new author, and the writing was smooth.
However, it was still the type of novel that was more novel-looking. If he was interested, he could read it. If he were to delve deeper into the logic and setting, he wouldn't need to read this book for fun.
"Beyond Time":"Beyond Time" is an unforgettable Xianxia novel. The author, Er Gen, has successfully brought the readers into a world beyond time with his unique style and writing style. The plot was tight and full of ups and downs, making it hard for people to stop. The quality of Er Gen's works was guaranteed. Those who had not read his works could read them without worry because "Beyond Time" was already a very rich work. The main character was a handsome man who made people feel like they were in his shoes. His IQ was on the line, not a little white text. The story was full of excitement and suspense, making it impossible to stop reading. The author's writing style was excellent. It was decisive and made the story even more fascinating. Overall, Beyond Time was a fantasy novel that was worth reading. Whether it was the story or the style, it brought great enjoyment to people. Strongly recommended!
"This Game Is Too Real":"This Game Is Too Real" was a fascinating novel about the apocalyptic wasteland. The author brought the readers into a wasteland world full of challenges and adventures with his unique creativity and wonderful storyline. The main character Chu Guang had transmigrated to this world and unlocked the Sanctuary System, allowing him to summon creatures called "players" from the parallel world. This innovative setting made the entire wasteland world no longer serious, full of unknown excitement and challenges. The plot was interesting. In the setting of the apocalypse, the bravery and wisdom of the players were unforgettable. The setting of the Doomsday Wasteland was exciting. The protagonist had gone from nothing to building a powerful alliance. The progress of the technology tree was also amazing. This book not only had a humorous and relaxing plot, but it was also rich in light and casual elements, allowing people to find fun and relaxation in reading. All in all,"This Game Is Too Real" was a fascinating book, and I recommend it to everyone.
"Red Heart Sky Patrol":"Red Heart Sky Patrol" was a novel about Xianxia that made one's blood boil. The author used his unique and innovative setting and the innocence of the protagonist, Zuo Guanglie, to show the readers a rich and unique world of Xianxia. The novel's unique feature was that it combined ancient, modern, divine, flying swords, and other Xianxia elements together to construct a dizzying and wonderful world. Zuo Guanglie's image was also very impressive. He had the heart of a child, was not afraid of strong enemies, was unyielding, did not forget his original heart, and did not let down his love. His path of cultivation was full of difficulties and challenges, but he used his perseverance and wisdom to break through the limits time and time again, becoming a legend of the Xianxia generation. If you were a fan of Xianxia novels,"Red Heart Sky Patrol" was definitely a masterpiece that you should not miss.

Chapter 14: The Ring of Destiny: Mysteries 2 is Finally Here, I'll Read 100 Chapters First.
It was recommended that those who had not seen the Lord of the Mysteries should watch 1 first. It could be said to be a classic blockbuster.
"The Great Ming State Preceptor": The Great Ming State Preceptor is an admirable work. The author has shown his talent with a grand pattern and far-reaching ideas. This book was not only a novel, but also an explanation of political economy, sociology, monetary theory, and other theories in simple terms, allowing people to have a deeper understanding of history and reality.

17:"Who's in Love After Rebirth?": It's so sweet that it's like falling out of a tooth. It's just that the comments are as if they can't quit after getting high... But it's really well written
"Deep Sea Ember" was an excellent novel. The author's new book was very eye-catching. It was very good. This book was based on the invincible style. In the past, he might not have been too interested in the electric waves of the big eye bead, but this new book made him feel like he had evolved. The transition between the serious and off-topic styles was extremely natural, stunning people at first glance and decisively chasing after them.
This book,"Deep Sea Ember," was based on an epic sci-fi theme. It combined sci-fi, Cthulhu, and steampunk styles, giving people a brand new experience. The story told that Duncan and his crew witnessed various bizarre visions in the sea, accidentally unveiled the long-sealed truth, and opened up a new route to the new world. The male protagonist, Zhou Ming, was an ordinary middle school teacher. He was trapped in a room due to a strange fog, but he accidentally boarded a ghost ship called "Phenomenon 005" and began his adventure. This ghost ship was sailing in a world that was about to be infiltrated by subspace. Subspace belonged to the steam era and integrated all kinds of imaginable worlds, making people full of anticipation.
The author's grand epic narrative style, the control of each character, and the vivid and delicate writing style with great personal charm and diverse styles made people feel the lives of believers and fully feel the lovely and charming descriptions of elves. Not only did they witness the great voyage, but they also experienced the fantasy world of the Caribbean pirates. The story was filled with the mysterious Crusoe Stream, combining fantasy and mysterious elements, making people fascinated. Every time the mystery was revealed, it gave people the feeling of peeling onions layer by layer. When you try to unravel the mystery, the author will present you with another mysterious and interesting world, allowing you to immerse yourself in it, forget time, forget your troubles, and wonder what will happen next.
The overall style of Deep Sea Ember was light and almost invincible. Although the background setting was a little dark, it gave people a relaxed and pleasant reading experience. Overall, this book was a work of epic art and was worth reading.
19."Gou in the Demonic Martial World to Cultivate Immortals": A new book of plagiarism.
The second is the text.
In the Origin World, the first step of cultivation was spirit farming. In the dungeon world, demons and martial arts were in chaos. There was no time difference between the two worlds, and the golden finger could travel between the two worlds.
The opening was normal, and there was nothing particularly attractive about it.
"Who told him to cultivate!" Happy people, happy literature

I recommend the book, Ruffian Savior, to you! Although there was no "bad guy" in the protagonist's name, he had defined himself as "an orphan, a ruffian, a bad guy who was despised and treated coldly!" In the storyline, he wanted to show his strength against zombies and enemies and become the savior of mankind. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
😋I recommend the following novels to you:
1. "Flower City's Evil Bodyguard": The protagonist of this book has extraordinary skills, and has the Ghost Valley's magical technique. He guards his family, protects his wife, and destroys his enemies. He is a legendary urban life novel.

The complex characters make it great. The male lead, for example, is a scoundrel with a hidden depth of emotions. His transformation throughout the story due to love is fascinating.
The female lead is a strong - willed woman. She's not easily swayed by the lord's charm at first and stands up to him, which makes their relationship dynamic.
Lord of Scoundrels is a well - known 20th - century romance novel. It stands out for its complex characters. The hero is a scoundrel in the eyes of society, but his relationship with the heroine unfolds in an interesting way. Their love story is filled with passion, misunderstandings, and ultimately, redemption.
I'm not entirely sure as I haven't read the novel in great detail, but likely there are some smuggler - type characters, perhaps similar to Han Solo. They would be the ones who are not afraid to bend the rules to get what they want.
Yes. 'Lord of Scoundrels' is often considered a great example in English romantic novels. It typically contains elements like complex characters, passionate romances, and a vividly depicted historical or fictional setting that are characteristic of the genre.
