Tout le monde savait qu'après avoir été abandonnée par un homme volage, Mademoiselle Shen était devenue dévergondée et était tombée enceinte sans se marier. Après avoir été chassée de chez elle, elle tomba dans un état de désespoir. La tristement célèbre Shen Ruojing apparut néanmoins au banquet d'anniversaire de la vieille madame de la famille Chu. Tout le monde la raillait. « Ceux qui offrent des millions en guise de cadeau sont à une table, tandis que ceux qui offrent des dizaines de millions à l'autre. » « Mademoiselle Shen, combien avez-vous donné ? » La foule attendait qu'elle se ridiculise, mais Shen Ruojing sortit de derrière elle un adorable petit garçon et dit, « Excusez-moi Madame, à quelle table votre petit-fils aîné va-t-il s'asseoir ? » *** Mère et fils furent admis dans la famille Chu, et Shen Ruojing eut envie de passer ses journées à flâner, mais elle fut rejetée par la famille de diverses manières. « Nous avons des hackers de premier ordre, des maîtres de la musique, des experts en technologie… Tout le monde est renommé dans cette famille. Et vous, que nous apportez-vous ? » Shen Ruojing se caressa le menton. « Eh bien, toutes ces choses que vous avez mentionnées… Je m'y connais un peu en tout. » Ses trois adorables bébés se tenaient à côté d'elle et hochèrent la tête à l'unisson, « Nous pouvons témoigner que maman s'y connaît un peu en tout ! »
"Erst die Pflicht, dann das Herz", antwortete Ashleigh entschieden. "Was soll das denn heißen?" "Es bedeutet, dass ich meinen Job machen werde. Aber Caleb ist nur meine Pflicht, du bist mein Herz." *** Zwei Männer, zwei unterschiedliche Gefühle von Anziehung und Vertrauen. Ashleigh kämpft darum, die Gefühle in ihrem Herzen zu verstehen. Hin- und hergerissen zwischen dem Mann, den sie seit zwei Jahren liebt, und dem kalten Alpha eines feindlichen Rudels, kann Ashleigh herausfinden, mit welchem der beiden Männer sie sich wirklich paaren will? Hat sie wirklich eine Wahl? Sie ist die Tochter von Alpha Wyatt von Winter, dem größten der vier Werwolfsrudel. Seit zwei Jahren wartet sie sehnsüchtig auf ihren achtzehnten Geburtstag, damit sie endlich verheiratet und mit ihrer Liebe Granger gepaart werden kann.

Ihr Schicksalsbruder ist zufällig Alpha Caleb of Summer, der Mann, dessen Vater angeblich von einem ihrer eigenen Wölfe ermordet wurde. Als ob das nicht schon genug wäre, meldet jedes Rudel plötzlich Angriffe von abtrünnigen Wölfen. Nun sieht sich Ashleigh nicht nur mit einem Krieg in ihrem Herzen konfrontiert, sondern auch mit einem im echten Leben. Werden sie es schaffen, zusammenzuarbeiten und all ihren Herzschmerz beiseite zu schieben, um ihre Rudel vor dem Feind zu schützen, der sie alle bedroht?

Shi Qian opened her eyes and looked at the man's gorgeous face. "You're responsible." The two-faced demon smiled half-heartedly. Ever since then, Demon King Mr. Zhan found himself a new demon in the house! He became infatuated with her and pampered her beyond reason. Someone said, "All she has going for her is her looks! Mr. Zhan will leave her sooner or later!" Not long after that... It turned out that the legendary being was actually that demon! Why does the bigshot behind a military hacker look a little like her? The creator of a successful online game also looked like her, and so did the woman who beat everyone in an ancient martial arts competition... She's the bigshot! Everyone, on your knees!Vampires and werewolves have been at war for centuries. In an attempt to make peace, Alessandra, the vampire princess, is wed to the Alpha Emperor of the werewolves, Xavier. All her life, Alessandra has grown up learning that the werewolves are barbaric in nature, a far cry from the elegant vampires. What happens, though, when Alessandra realizes that this is far from the truth? Their relationship starts off rocky with misunderstandings about each other, but through time, a bond slowly builds as they encounter and overcome obstacles together as king and queen, alpha and luna, husband and wife! When a cult started by an ancient vampire attempts to sow discord between two kingdoms, can Alessandra and Xavier maintain peace between both races? Or will their kingdoms fall into war and ruin, dragging their budding love down with it? — [Excerpt] When the guards declared the groom's entrance, everyone's attention turned to the door. I felt a hammer on my chest. Here comes the barbarian, I thought. I was looking away, lowering my gaze. The man entered the wedding hall. I felt like my intestine would come out of my mouth. The sudden gulps of the guests were not going unnoticed in my ears. What caused the guests to respond like that? Was the man that hideous? I lost my zeal to look at him. With a heavy heart, I kept looking away until he stood in front of me. Slowly, I glanced at the man standing in front of me. My heart was pounding so hard that I felt like it would burst. I gasped. There was no way he was the alpha lord and the groom of tonight's wedding. The phenomenally handsome man from earlier was standing right in front of me. Up close, he was multiple times more attractive. Barbaric man? Who? He was radiating such royal energy that even the noblest vampires were intimidated when he entered. My husband-to-be.
Jeder wusste, dass die junge Frau Shen, nachdem sie von einem wilden Mann verlassen worden war, selbstsüchtig wurde und schwanger wurde, ohne zu heiraten. Nachdem sie aus ihrem Haus vertrieben worden war, verfiel sie in einen Zustand der Verzweiflung. Die berüchtigte Shen Ruojing erschien jedoch auf dem Geburtstagsbankett der alten Madam der Familie Chu. Alle verhöhnten sie. "Diejenigen, die Millionen an Geschenken schicken, sitzen an einem Tisch, während diejenigen, die Dutzende Millionen an Geschenken schicken, am anderen sitzen." "Frau Shen, wie viel haben Sie gegeben?" Die Menge wartete darauf, dass sie sich lächerlich machen würde, aber Shen Ruojing zog einen entzückenden kleinen Jungen hinter sich hervor und sagte: "Entschuldigen Sie, Madam, an welchem Tisch wird Ihr ältester Enkel sitzen?" *** Shen Ruojing wollte ihre Zeit mit Faulenzen verbringen, stieß aber bei der Familie auf unterschiedliche Weise auf Ablehnung. "Wir haben erstklassige Hacker, Musikmeister, Technikexperten... Jeder ist in dieser Familie bekannt. Was bringst du mit?" Shen Ruojing rieb sich das Kinn. "Nun, all die Dinge, die du erwähnt hast ... Ich kenne mich mit allem ein bisschen aus." Ihre drei bezaubernden Kinder standen neben ihr und nickten unisono: "Wir können bezeugen, dass Mama wirklich von allem ein bisschen weiß!"

# 1V1 # PRETENDTOBEAFOOL Yun Ran, the Pavilion Master, was proficient in medicine, poison, and martial arts. She lived her days like a divine deity, but when she was struck by lightning, her soul transmigrated into the body of the eldest lady of the Shangshu Mansion, who was often bullied. From then on, her days were no better than a dog’s…Trying to avoid a marriage she didn’t want, Yun Ran’s stepsister had someone knock Yun Ran unconscious and threw her into the sedan to take her place. She married a man who was rumored to suffer from various conditions from head to toe. On their wedding night, Nangong Mo told her, “I’m blind, and I’ll have a short life. I don’t want a beautiful woman like you to make a mistake. You may divorce me and find someone else.”Yun Ran affectionately replied, “People often say that when a couple marries, there would be no doubt about their love. Since we’re married, we should stay together. I’ll accompany you till the last moment of your life.” However, Nangong Mo could hear her inner thoughts. Divorce? Why would I do that? I’ll stay at your house and spend your money. When you kick the bucket, I’ll dig a hole and bury you, then I’ll inherit the rest of your wealth and land. Isn’t that wonderful? Nangong Mo gritted his teeth and slowly said, “Heh… Very wonderful!”4.66
After an accidental rebirth, Qin Yi turned from the king of mercenaries into a wealthy, wasteful young man who everyone spurned. Qin Yi: “I was reborn as a man?!” Just when Qin Yi was so excited as she thought she could finally be a true man, she felt her chest a little tight. She looked down and realized… Oh, those were chest bindings. Qin Yi’s wish to be a real man was dashed, but the person she was reborn as pretended to be a man for special reasons. Qin Yi: “Great! This is something I’m familiar with!” Her classmates mocked her for being a sissy and unmanly, and Qin Yi easily turned it against them and said, “Come on, say it again!” When the teacher was being dodgy and said that Qin Yi couldn’t study well and that it would be difficult to be a capable person, Qin Yi slapped a test paper with full marks on the table and said, “Isn’t it just studying? What’s so hard about it?” “There is nothing in this world that can defeat the king of mercenaries!” Qin Yi built her career up slowly, from being a bullied kid, to a scholarly tyrant, to a Prince Charming highly sought after by thousands of people in the entertainment industry for both her looks and acting skills.

When Lan Baiyuan confessed to Qin Yi one day, Qin Yi, who rarely lost her temper, shouted, “I’m a man! A man!” Lan Baiyuan smirked arrogantly, “So what?” Qin Yi: “...” Oh, so it turns out that the most powerful man in the country liked men. To get rid of getting involved with Lan Baiyuan, Qin Yi didn’t hesitate to expose herself, “I forgot to tell you. I’m actually a woman.” Lan Baiyuan smirked viciously. “I don’t care if you’re a man or a woman, as long as I’m on top.” He liked Qin Yi as a person. He didn’t care about her gender, he liked her anyway! But his position in bed will never change!4.9

She took her family and escaped from the famine and started farming, practicing medicine, and doing business…She worked hard for a better tomorrow just to get a place to live in this strange era, so that she would have a stable life and be able to stand with dignity instead of kneeling and begging for her life. Unexpectedly, her crossdressing was so successful that her good name was spread everywhere in the new dynasty. Young Master in the Hou Manor: “Young Master Cheng is very talented. What he says casually are words that can rule the world. I must recommend him to the prince!” A senior official in the academy: “Little Cheng has a beautiful mind. He will make a name for himself once the examination reopens. If he can’t take first place, I’ll hit my head against the pillar and die.” The eldest daughter from the Prime Minister's Manor: “Doctor Sheng is a genius, but he’s a noble character and not interested in fame and fortune. I respect and love him. Even if we’re not fated to be together, I should still ask my cousin, the prince, to give him status.”Shili Pavilion’s Flower Queen: “If someone like you doesn’t wear white anymore, who else is worthy of wearing it? Do they treat you well in court?” An aggrieved sigh was her answer.***As for the prince, who was always only mentioned in the passing, had already stroked his chin in thought early on.

Instead, it was with the Vampire prince, Lucien Bardot, the wild card of vampire royalty. To say it was bizarre would be an understatement. It was downright chaos. Would their love survive with all the odds they have to face? Would it be their strength or their weakness? *** "Please don't stop," she said in a shallow, begging voice. "I won't," Lucien replied with his half-closed eyes. She could feel that he, too, was feeling the same euphoria and desire she felt.Can I kiss you?” He asked lightly, looking up from her lips into her eyes. “If you don’t kiss me right now, I think I may go mad,” she said, nodding her head quickly. He gave her a bright smile, and then his lips were on hers in a gentle caress. *** Richard Washington - a powerful and wealthy billionaire who can control nearly everything in his life, but he failed to control his love for Samantha Williams.

Clarisse was betrayed and dethroned as the pack's Luna! Everything went downhill for Clarisse the moment her husband’s Fated Mate arrived at their doorsteps. Dethroned from her position and poisoned to death, she was curiously reborn weeks earlier from her demise. Vowing to never make the same mistakes again, she made up her mind to divorce her husband and seek help. Luke Morgenstein, the Crown Prince she didn’t plan to team up with, was an enigma. He ignored her at first, then decided to help but insulted her. To add confusion to the problem, he even kissed her at their first meeting! The insult and the kiss didn’t bother her much, but why did her heart seem to explode every time she thought of him? Clarisse couldn’t get a hold of what Luke truly wanted with her, but his help was essential for her plans to move forward. She had no choice but to play along, for she planned to rise and defeat the other Luna that invaded her beloved pack— by becoming an Alpha herself! EXCERPT: “Who might you be and why are you here?” Clarisse did her best not to roll her eyes and said, “You called for me, Your Highness. Konrard said you changed your mind and decided to help?” “Clarisse Howlet?” “Yes,” she replied with her head bowed down. “Would you need any more assistance?” Luke shook his head and mumbled, “You smell…” “I what?!” Clarisse couldn’t believe he would insult her like that. She was wearing her most expensive designer perfume. She took hygiene with utmost diligence! The Crown Prince stood up from his hunched position and Clarisse yelped in surprise. Why was he butt naked underneath the blanket? Was he jerking off while he suddenly went into the rut phase? In a flash of seconds, Clarisse felt warm lips crash into hers.
Tempting my mate was never a good thing. Before I knew it, he moved towards me faster than anything I had ever seen. His hand gripped the back of my neck as he brought my lips only inches from his. “You’re playing with fire, Clara,” he whispered. I couldn’t help but smile, licking my bottom lip. “So burn me.” When Clara was young, war broke out over the moonstones—artifacts of incredible power. That war killed her family and scattered her pack, forcing them to live as rogues. Now, at long last, she will destroy the people behind it. But as her plan falls into place, she encounters a problem. Her worst enemy… is also her mate. Which will burn stronger—their passion, or the fires of revenge? “Clara, please…” He called out again. I looked back at him. I wanted to run into his arms—but instead, I turned and vanished into the darkness. “In time… I will allow myself to love you,” I whispered.

“But he—” “Patience, Tati,” Zhuri cooed. “All in good time. You know it yourself,” she reminded, “you’ve waited for centuries. What’s another night more?” *** For centuries, Tatiana has watched the love of her life die and be born again. Each time, their love would be cut short by the ravages of time. However, time was never something that could dull her love for him. If need be, she would spend her entire immortal life looking for the man she loves. However, what will happen to that love when he is reborn as a werewolf— the natural enemy to her vampirism? Bound by destiny yet cursed by society, Tatiana must convince the love of her life, Xander, that their love is stronger than centuries of war and hatred.

Will she fight for her love, or will she let destiny’s curse prevail again? *** [EXCERPT] "What did you do to them, vampire?" Xander said disgustedly. Gritting her teeth, Tatiana wondered how she hadn’t heard nor smelled him entering her house. She should’ve. After all, her senses weren’t that much worse than a werewolf’s. Furthermore, it was Xander of all people. Tatiana could recognize his scent anywhere. "What's wrong with you?” Tatiana asked angrily as she struggled under Xavier. “Do you now break and enter strangers’ houses just to assault them in your free time?” "I said,” Xander growled. “What. Did. You. Do to my wolves?"“I knew when I saw you the other night,” Jasper said, his voice tender, “that you were the one.” I blinked and my heart went crazy. “The one, what?” “I knew that you were my mate.” — Adele was told that she can’t bear a child. However, when her lab results come back ‘pregnant’, she’s torn between two potential fathers— her best friend who brought her to her room, or the hunky man she woke up next to. To top it off, her parents just made a deal to marry her to Red Moon Pack’s Alpha without her consent. She scrambles to handle everything while fighting hard to keep her baby. — I don’t know what compelled me to say it, maybe the heat running through me, maybe desire. I added, “So I’m just standing here naked, talking to you.” Damien exhaled sharply, and I could tell I got the rise out of him I’d wanted. “You don’t have to stand there alone, think about me while you’re naked,” he whispered.
