The day I won the lottery, I quit my job immediately. Ethan called to say that Sophia was getting married. I prepared a big red envelope for her. At the dinner table, I joked with them, saying that I was unemployed and had to go home to live off my parents. Unexpectedly, the whole family's faces changed. Sophia jumped out sarcastically, "It's not appropriate for you to come back and live off my parents' retirement money, right." Jayden pretended to be magnanimous, "If you want to come back, you have to pay rent. Even close brothers have to make clear accounts, sister-in-law doesn't want to be a parasite, right." Ethan and Megan also acquiesced. They probably forgot that this house is in my name. Even Sophia's dowry was paid out of my pocket. So, who is the real parasite?

I’ve had enough of being transmigrated into books. You would be tired of it too, especially if it was already your fourth time doing it. This time, I became the female lead’s villainous older sister. ‘Oh, I’m so sick of this.’ Yet again, I was sure this life wouldn’t be exciting either. I had led straightforward lives before, and then I died and moved on to the next. But why was it that this iteration was a tad different? ‘Why can I use the abilities I had in my second transmigration?’ ‘Why is the female lead bothering me so much?’ Alicia, this novel’s protagonist, was fated to have a poor, emaciated life. However, considering that she was this novel’s true heroine, I couldn’t just let her roll through the mud like this. I would do everything in my power to change her fate. ‘My younger sister, don’t become the female lead this time.’ To achieve my goal through a project hereby dubbed as the [Mob-Alicia Project], I’ve recruited the male lead’s older brother. Cassion Carter. He was the villain who was almost killed—no, was fated to be killed—by the male lead. . . . “If you want to live, promise me one thing.” As if he was a wild beast that had been hunted and left to die alone, he breathed with incredible difficulty. I reached toward the poor man’s face and caressed his cheek, leaning down to whisper softly. “If I save you…” Lay down your own life on the line to protect my sister.

WARNING R18: Violence and Mature Content. VOLUME ONE: The Beta’s Mate I was minding my own business, shooting arrows mindlessly at the target. When he came out into the clearing. A huge, beautiful, silver wolf. Next thing I knew he was on the ground in front of me, an arrow sticking out of his chest. He was minding his own business, scouting, when he caught her scent. His mate. His wolf started running before he could think, but he was just as ecstatic. He slowed as he reached the edge of the forest, and he saw her. She was beautiful. He moved forward and the next thing he knew there was an arrow sticking out of his chest. VOLUME TWO: Given to the Hunter I looked at the tall man and he stared back at me with the same hollow eyes. I wanted nothing to do with him and I’m sure he wanted nothing to do with me. “Go on.” A voice spoke. I closed my eyes and took the man’s large hand. He stared at the small woman in front of him, her dark eyes stared back at him, hollowly. He wished he could go back in time so that he would never have to experience this, but it was too late. He was here, and he was being forced to take this woman. He shoved his hand out for her to grab and her small hand reached out to it. This is an original work not translated.

Excerpt: "Heartbreaking? That's a new one. I've heard people describe my curse as depressing, tragic, unfortunate and even pitiable. But I haven't heard heartbreaking yet. So, your heart breaks for me, then?" "How could it not?!" Effie exclaimed. "I can't even imagine what life must have been like for you! And it makes me angry for you too!" "Oh? Angry?" Effie nodded her head resolutely. "The way everyone talks about you around here, making you sound like a weak and fragile prince. It makes me angry! The only way I can see it is that it would take a very strong person to survive as long as you have while living with so much pain." "I appreciate your kind words," Reign replied sadly, looking down at the floor. "But I don't think they're exactly wrong. I really am weak. I didn't try to survive. I tried to end my own life to escape the suffering." "I don't think that makes you weak," Effie maintained, offering him a gentle smile. "Unless someone has gone through what you have, I don't think they have the right to judge your actions. Although I'm very glad I was there in the forest that day, so I could stop you from ending it all. I, for one, am glad you're still around." Reign's expression relaxed into a warm smile, his eyes now searching Effie's face so deeply that she suddenly became self conscious, and turned her head away to avoid his gaze. "What are you looking at?! Is there something on my face?" "You smiled," Reign replied contentedly. "I think that was the first time I've ever seen you smile. It lights up your face." ------ Euphemia Blackmoore is a witch. And if you didn’t know, that’s a very bad thing to be in the kingdom of Avanthia, where being a witch is completely outlawed and punishable by death. The "Witch Hunt" as it was called, was a royal decree enacted over one-hundred years ago by the royal La Croix family. So then, how did our Euphemia (Effie for short) end up working in the very court of that very same La Croix family who would burn her in the streets without trial if they ever found out her secret? But as it turns out, sitting in the belly of the whale may just possibly be the safest place for Euphemia to be… at last for now, anyway.

"I married you," He whispers and nuzzles into my neck, "No one has the right to insult or humiliate the woman I chose to be my wife..." "Even if she cannot wait for your throne built on bones to crumble down?" I retorted sharply and tore my gaze from the body lying inches away from us. "Even if she is about to shove a dagger in my heart." My eyes widen and the dagger within my grasp collides with the ground. George grins. ----- Anastasia is betrothed to the King of Keyes in her sister’s place from one day to the next, and she may not know a lot about life, but she knows she does not want to be a wife - much less a Queen in waiting. And not to the man who murdered her father in cold blood. She is set to make him pay for everything, watch his castle of blood crumble down, and enjoy it all while she's at it; but it's a good thing all he wants is to take her heart and then take her to bed.
"Let me do this, princess", his hands travelled to the back of the princess. Opening the knot, he let the silk material smoothly slide down her dress. When he tried to reach out the sleeve, the princess stepped back saying, "What if we both get undressed under my bedsheets?" If it were not for the pink hue dusting the princess' cheeks, Liang would have had a rather unpleasant, dubious thought. But her constant nubbling on her lips and now reddened cheeks clearly stated that she was only nervous. Nothing else. "Okay, but only if we keep eye contact." *** "I will not marry the King, Liang. I love you. You will fight for me, right?", she looked into the eyes of the mere servant of the castle, her blue gown flowing in brilliant contrast with the colourful flowers of spring blossomed all around, her long hair tied in a beautiful braid. "I will fight for you, princess, even if it means I losing my life", he pulled the princess in for a kiss both of them had longed for days. They embraced each other under the redbud, the splashes of purple and pink petals falling off the tree with a gentle breeze. Just like the season passed, so as their lives; forgotten in the lost pages of their love story. *** Geon Junho has a vague memory of him tip-toeing and kissing a little girl on her cheek when they were sipping lemonade on a summer evening.

But fate brought her working for a CEO whose one accidental kiss opened a hidden door in her heart, perhaps one from thousands of years ago. What will happen when a lovelorn and aromantic cross path? Will they recognize their lost connection this time? *** Book Cover: Pinterest
