This book is inspired be the V.C. Andrews Gothic Horror/Romance Novels.

What happens when someone with the pride of a dragon meets someone with the courage of a tiger?

Romance is a very popular genre in Webnovels. The first thing that come to mind when we talk about romance are the CEO novels. Even though we don't want to admit it, they are the mainstream romance stories in the Webnovel website. 

So why do people love romance stories? I hope you find the answer while reading this chapter.

----------------------------------

FattyBai: No worries, was just a bit curious. It's always amazing seeing how the Romance genre basically dominates the site.

Parasection: and CEO stories.

FattyBai: So I was sort of curious what the demographics on the reader's sex were. But yeah, it's a fair assumption to say that the ladies rule the site, lol

WWFire: Readers gender stats r ambiguous, it is manipulatable after all.

FattyBai: Unless there's this hidden group of guys who have been starving for CEO romance novels (which would actually be funny).

Parasection: But the sacred texts.

WWFire: All I see are genderless alien. *derp emoticon*

reinesse ♥: kek.

FattyBai: How do we pull in the female readers in if we can't write a romance story? *cry emoticon*

Parasection: No choice but to write yaoi then.

WWFire: We who read these kind of fantasy novels don't live our lives correctly pal.

CailinMatthews: *ghost hug emoticon*

Parasection: Give in to the demons.

WWFire: That's why we escape reality sometimes. 

FattyBai: It's like being offered a big cake and unable to take a slice.

Zehell2218: I think male reader have their own chance and market.

FattyBai: For sure, but it'd be nice to tap into both sides.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai I think I'll make fantasy romance so I can attract both.

FattyBai: I mean, it's not a bad idea, but how do you split it up? 50% romance/50% dragon ball z?


Parasection: The fuq that sounds like an abomination.

FattyBai: It does.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai No it's 80% romance 20% action. *joy emoticon*

Noveljunky: Besides Romance, what else do females like to read?

Parasection: BL, yaoi, drama.

Zehell2218: Still BL is romance.

Anjeeriku: horror lol.

reinesse ♥: @Noveljunky xianxia I think.

Noveljunky: Mmm.

Zenith: Well, need too write romance...kek

Zehell2218: Do female reader like to read apocalypse novel? Quick question since I will make fantasy romance in apocalypse.

[A/N: Sis, did you forget that you're a girl too?]

Totally Not Nano: nah oof.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Aww, man. But then you have to develop characters and write meaningful dialogue.

Zenith: I am probably gonna f*ck up my time trying to make a romance story.

FattyBai: We like blowing stuff up and fighting baddies.

Zehell2218: cmon it will be comedy. *laugh emoticon*

Parasection: The best thing in a novel is character development humor and action romance can be on the side.

Anjeeriku: Romance can be a great sub genre.

Parasection: how does one even write romance? I don't know where to begin with that genre.

FattyBai: I'm a simple guy, I see plot and I drown it in martial arts and manly stuff. Of course, I don't know what feelings are. Can you eat them to increase your cultivation base? *think smart emoticon*

Parasection: I've never experienced romance so i'd fail the moment i'd attempt a story like that.

Zehell2218: Actually, I like to write fighting scene but without romance my reader will kill me. So...yeah I tag it as romance! *joy emoticon*

Parasection: Fight scenes are fun to write.

FattyBai: I'm trying to break through into the "Immortal lonely sperg" phase~

Zehell2218: Very sloooooowww romance.

Anjeeriku: Please no abusive ML @Zehell2218 They're disgusting. idk why women like to read them.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku I don't know if girls who read xianxia will read apocalypse novel too.

reinesse ♥: I wanna write a novel like it's not easy to be a man after traveling to the future.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku No I won't make abusive ML. @reinesse ♥ same *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: @Anjeeriku *cough* TBWWM *cough*

reinesse ♥: And an actual xianxia novel with reasonable characters.

Zehell2218: But without the romance it's bland.

reinesse ♥: Like characters, especially main character who knows how to adjust because extreme pride is not good.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Baby Dragon Truer words have not been spoken, and that scares me.

reinesse ♥: Some villains are really brainless. they can scheme, but they don't have a reasonable reason to do so

Zenith: Kek.

Zehell2218: @Zenith gramps I have idea for fantasy romance lemme tell you after I finish writing and see if it's interesting or not.

Zenith: Get the MC u desire! Yeah @Zehell2218 

FattyBai: I fear becoming a more wholesome and fleshed out human being. Please no development.

Zehell2218: @Zenith It's ok. Just want to see if people will find this good or not. *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: I think there's a formula in getting famous as a writer.

[A/N: Oh? Such formula exist? Teach me Senpai!]

Totally Not Nano: Let's debate about it. *thinking emoticon*

Parasection: The formula is write romance and you're set.

Totally Not Nano: Any genre + xxxxxxx = top 1.

[A/N: Today… I lost faith in humanity.]

Noveljunky: If you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.

Moonbirth: Write a lot. Write everyday. Post a lot everyday... write about what readers want to read about.

Anjeeriku: Write a lot. be a slave. Lol


----------------------------------

Elyon knew that "Romance" is not his strong point. He writes a fantasy story with romance, but he can't tell if the romance will be able to attract female readers. Out of curiosity, he asked some of his fellow authors the question "Why do you read romance stories?"

Here are their answers…

Kyosei: Because I am single. 

Reili: To fill my empty void of a love life.

Minrei: Because romance let you feel what is to be loved, plus it is universal you dont need to learn magic or cultivation in order to read.

Bajj: Due to lack of romance irl.

Murakami: I read because I enjoy the friction and conflict between the FL and ML. The insistence vs resistance is naisu.

Qin: I reads romance only for ideas and info.

VlassisBehrakis: I don't read romance novels.

[A/N: Oof I asked the wrong person.]

Elyon then  ̶a̶m̶b̶u̶s̶h̶e̶d̶ asked some readers about their opinion about romance novels.

Yin: I read romance novels because I want that kind of drama to happen to me in real life. But I know it will never happen haha.

A Certain Irresistible Meowlin: I wonder why? And I do read romance novels. Though the chance of me dropping them is also the highest out of all the genres. Every so often I come across a scene that makes me just want to squeal and fangirl. 

----------------------------------

Elyon decided to dig deeper and asked a few of his senior "romance authors" some questions about their reason for writing romance stories.

The first question is… Why did you choose to write Romance Stories?

Anjeeriku: I'm comfortable writing romance stories compared to other genres. I'm a helpless romantic person and I like novels that can invoke other people's feelings.

Bajj: First of all, I like reading romance story. It was the reason why I read books before and reading other genres comes after. All in all, due to these romance fiction books, I got the opportunity to read more great books with different genre.

MishaK: That's what I read, so write that too.

Zehell2218: Because as reader, I want to read romance novel so when I write, I write romance since my motto is I write what I want to read.

Ikazainudin: The easiest genre. Everyone can relate.

End_of_Era: It wasn't a full on Romance, it was slice of life with romance which I feel was necessary with progression of the characters.

----------------------------------


The second question… When you were making your ML and FL, did you imagine yourself as the lead of your story at any given point in time?

Anjeeriku: I would be a liar if I said no. There were instances that I'd put myself in my FL's shoes. Whenever that happens, my writing feels more passionate and truthful that sometimes it was hard to know where my fl starts and where I end. 

Shen Yi, LMD's ML was based on a person I've lost, The One That Got Away so it was sometimes hard not to self-insert whenever there were scenes that need to invoke feelings from readers. 

Bajj: I believe that every character the author was making and breathing life into it, a part of him/her is added to its character. But me imagining of being the ML/FL, never. I'm too pure for that. Kek

MishaK: Yes I did but sometimes. Otherwise you can't infuse emotions in your characters. It is important to understand your characters.

Zehell2218: Yes, I imagine myself as the lead. Of course, I tweak it a bit, such as in age and appearance. But mostly, the characteristics is similar to me.

Ikazainudin: FL and ML character based on what I want to be irl. Yup. I imagine that will be my love story.

End_of_Era: Yes, my leads had some ocassional self insertion.

----------------------------------

The third question… If you were to choose some other genre aside from romance, what would you pick?

Anjeeriku: Fantasy. I always look up to those authors who can write fantasy stories/novels well. I believe writing a fantasy novel is harder than writing romance. 

[A/N: Ahem! 10 points to Griffindor!]

Bajj: Horror/thriller/Action. Read GGGB godamnit! [Good Girl Gone Bad]

MishaK: I am writing a Fantasy romance aside from regular vanilla romance *smile emoticon*

Zehell2218: Fantasy, magical realism, fan fiction.

Ikazainudin: Psychological/horror and maybe children story.

End_of_Era: The new genre I'm writing is fantasy/violent .

----------------------------------


The fourth and final question… If you were to give a message to your beloved readers, what would it be?

Anjeeriku: I'm sorry for not being inconsistent with updates. Y'all know I love you, but a little consideration and patience as I face this rough patch in my life would be very much appreciated.

Bajj: Vote me please :* mass release comes after, deal?

[A/N: Oof!]

MishaK: Be responsible in reviewing the book you are reading. Authors love to listen from their readers. So talk to them.

Zehell2218: Beloved reader, your author here is working hard to provide your daily dose so pliz pretty pliz, read my chapter using paid SS since I don't get even a penny for free SS. 

Tips: use free SS on translation novel. The translator still get money and use paid SS on original novel so we can get a bit money to continue living *wink*

Ikazainudin: I want readers to know, that love, hope and miracles exist. Be open and value each moment of your life like the MC's did.

Author's Thoughts

Hello Guys! I hope you enjoyed this chapter of WWCG. Personally, I've read a few CEO novels myself. I also read some FL stories like A Slight Smile Is Devastating (Love O2O), Hidden Marriage, Doomed to be Cannon Fodder, Transmigrator meets Reincarnator, A Mistaken Marriage Match: A Generation of Military Counselor, There Is an Angel in That Church (short story), Eight Treasures Trousseau, Grabbing Your Hand, Dragging you Away, A Mistaken Marriage Match: Record of Washed Grievances…

Ai~ there's a few more that I won't add to the list because it will create a wall of text. Well anyways, the reason why I read these stories is to get an idea on "WHY" the ladies love to read them.

Let's just say that it's a unique way to see a world in the eye of a lady (if you are a man of course). When done properly, the execution of the story can capture the hearts of anyone, even male readers. I believe that no matter what gender you are, as long as you find the story interesting then it doesn't matter whether you are a guy or a gal no?

Perhaps, when I'm not too busy to write my stories, I'll once again pick a romance novel to read. Hopefully, I will find another hidden gem that will bring unexpected surprises to anyone who are lucky enough to find them.

P.S I would like to thank my fellow authors, especially my senior romance authors who answered some of my questions regarding romance novels. 

To my senior authors, May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the Power Stones shine warm upon your face, and Spirit Stones fall soft upon your fields. (￣▽￣)ノ

P.S The Cover Drawing is not mine. I just find it nice so I used it. Full credits go to the owner.

One of the things I like to do is to share novels that I enjoy reading. 
However, I only share those that are free so as to help (a little bit) of such a wonderful book not get lost in the thousands of novels out there in webnovel.
For convenience's sake, I will also put them here from now on.
This is the list as from 1 December 2019, and whatever titles I remember from previous recommendations. I will upload the earlier recommendations when I have the time (and amidst editing after the novel ends).
Below includes free and those that became contracted after it had been recommended (note, it wasn't because I recommended it, okay). heh. 
Also, note. At the time I recommend, I try to choose novels that will continue. However, whether it does, or not, is beyond my control. I bear no responsibility if the Author disappears, or if they do dro the novel (I don't like when that happens either, so I know the feeling).  
So any novels that I did recommend before, but hasn't updated for more than two months, I will not put in this list.
Free Novels (Alphabetical Order)
1. Immaculate Spirit by Newbiel (Magical Realism), Ongoing - Nathaniel, a teenage artistic genius in a coma for four years. Reawakened with another soul attached (Marc, CIA agent extraordinaire). It has music, action (spy and terrorist stuff). No regular updates, grammar is not perfect but in later chapters, there are editors (on and off). 
2. No Matter How Long Time Passes, I still Love you by Sweetflowlips (Romance), Ongoing - This is a refreshing take on the usual 'marry cold man - divorce' novels. First off, FL doesn't end up with the useless ex-husband and secondly, she's not such a wimp or flopping fish. /heh
3. Perfect match, Secret Marriage by caremel (Romance), Completed - 420 Chapters. 
4. The Prodigy: I Was Reborn And To Become A Saintess by _AngelGrace_(Fantasy Romance), Ongoing - A prodigy was reborn in a world of magic, into the body of a 'useless' Saintess - or so everyone thought. See how she overcomes the plots against her, makes herself powerful and collects men to her like bees to honey. Looks like reverse harem at the moment, but may be just one ML. There's magic, a bit of nation-building. Updates unstable but Author says will not drop.
5. TheUnion by CreamAndCookies (Fantasy), Completed -291 Chapters. It is fantasy medieval. Has romance, kingdom building and all the political intrigues. 
6. The Witch CEO is NOT a Demoness by SayuriHyuuga (Romance), Completed - 146 Chapters. FengJui, CEO and known to be like a dragon. Gets drunk, finds herself having a one-night stand (this may be viewed as r*pe since she was drunk) with a 'vagabond' (who is actually another CEO) that won't leave her alone now. R18. 
Became Contracted
1. Genius Seventh Prince by LazySky (Fantasy), Ongoing - Greyson was born as the talented seventh prince of the small Ley Kingdom in the desolate Snow Country but he ended up an orphan at a local church in the neighboring kingdom. Follow this genius and his rise to the top in a world where magic reigns supreme.  There are dragons! 
Special Mention
This is a book by a fellow reader, who is an Author. My first Author friend when I began the journey to write and learned a lot from her writing style. She has a wonderful style of writing that I can never emulate but I learn from. Her genre is different, but you'll certainly not lose out on trying it out:
Author: Rxel
1. Free and Unfettered (Free, completed)
2. Curse of the Mainframe (Contracted, ongoing)


This is a rebirth story of a normal girl, Kylie. She was a normal girl, living a normal life. Married and had kids. Nothing outstanding about her, but nothing terrible either. Then she was attacked and left to die. 

Her soul screamed in pain at having to leave behind two small children that needed her, yet she couldn't do anything. As she entered eternal darkness ... it took her some time to realise that she was not dead. She was alive, only yet to be born.

And she was a boy.

Hi. Thanks for dropping by. Please bear in mind that I am a new author, and English is not my first language. I am writing because I find it enjoyable, and am only now finding the courage to actually pen it out for others to read.

This is a rebirth story of a girl who had lived one life, and will experience another. Follow her along her journey of discovery: of herself, as she walks an entirely new path. Yet, at the same time, she seeks to find closure from her old life. 

World background: Current Earth, with names of countries being just Country J, Country SA etc. 

First, the MC is the typical OP character. Second, it's a slice of life story mixed with OPness of MC. If you don't like Gary Sue / OP characters, with a slow story pace, then this is not for you. 

There are elements of adventure/action, romance, some comedy and a little bit of mystery.  It is also a story about friendship and the bonds we make as we grow up.

The rating is due to certain scenes and sensitive issues from Volume 3 onwards. 

Please review. Your feedback is appreciated.

It's me again, Lemon Grenade. After creating the story Reincarnated into a Shingle Sea Urchin, I realized how fast I did things and how I didn't put much effort into the story. I've spent my time thoughtfully contemplating on how to improve myself this year before I came up with a new story.

I originally promised another story that involved aliens and game elements, but I got extremely lazy during that time and temporarily gave up. But I've been working on others in secret during my silence. This time I came up with one that's unique and something I'm willing to invest more time in compared to my first one which was a prototype.

This time I won't try to speed run things. I'll try to put effort into the storyline and plot. I'll try to personalize characters and put effort into them. Unlike the first time, I have a relatively good path that I plan on following. Yes, I said that for my first novel, but complications rose so I ended it prematurely.

But I won't start releasing chapters for a while. If I do, the pressure will bring up my habit of speed running things. Once I've completed a portion of it that I've deemed satisfactory, I'll start releasing chapters.

PLEASE READ (But please don't be offended with my passionate rant)
------------------
I have reasons as to why I chose the main character to be a female.
The first reason is because I feel more enthusiastic when the character I'm imagining is female.

The second reason is because I'm tired of almost all the female Wuxia/Xianxia novels that I manage to find and read. It's very hard (and rare) to find a legit cultivation novel with a female protagonist that cultivates seriously.
Almost all female cultivation novels have a main male character that goes after them. It results in a lot of romance and little cultivation. The same could be said to multiple male characters going after the single female protagonist. It just results in too much comedy and romance, with little cultivation time taken seriously.

Examples would be Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss and The Demonic King Chases His Wife. Although I've read the first to 300 and the second to 500, which isn't the whole, I stopped because of the romance. Although yes, there was a period of time where they separated, but even then, cultivation wasn't really taken seriously. 
(Correct me if this changes past what I've read. I'm kinda judging, but what I've said is mostly true for what I've read so far. So you can't blame me)

The ones that I can really appreciate are Kumo Desu Ga, Nani Ka? and The Good-For-Nothing Seventh Young Lady.
The first one has almost no romance with the female character and is all about evolving to become stronger in order to survive. 
The second does have multiple males going after her, but she takes cultivation very seriously and puts in effort to cultivate. If not, she's usually doing important business stuff or figuring out problems. She's not even in love with any of the male throughout the entire story, only friendship. It's extremely slow romance as she slowly falls for a guy that only has a soul, but has a personality that I like very much.

You can find plenty of male cultivation novels, and a lot of them are famous. Almost all of them seriously focus on cultivation; pursuing the Dao with not a lot of romance. Even the ones with female leads still do cultivation seriously even if the male protagonist falls in love.

But NO! When it's a female, the cold and dark world of cultivation suddenly becomes all happy and vibrant! It's all about the male guy! Yes, I have seen darkness and coldness in female cultivation novels like the ones above, but definitely not as much as one with a male MC. It's like the whole world has to be nicer just because the MC is a girl!

For male MC's, most of them struggle to the top. They have to work their way to advance by slaughtering enemies and using them as stepping stones in pursuit of the great Dao. They always severely injure themselves while approaching the brink of death just to survive. There's always gore, evil, and darkness that the MC has to traverse through while maintaining their sanity.

But NO! It's different for a female MC! They do struggle, but definitely not as much. Enemies are slaughtered and used as stepping stones, but I've never seen a female have a Dao they want to pursue. Yes they injure themselves, but definitely not as bloody and gory. Life or death situations are way less compared to the latter. Things are seemingly brighter with a female MC.

The best part of it all is that they're buffed with their seemingly harsh past life. Almost all female MC's in cultivation novels have OP medical skills, assassin skills, and military skills from their past life. I've never seen a female MC cult. novel where she was originally born in a cultivation world and has to work her way up. I've seen several male MC novel's like that, but no female.

Yes, I know male MC's are like that too, but not a lot of them actually have the female tropes. A good portion of them are just male MC's who are in high school or college, or just an average worker. They have to learn harsh things and go through mentally insane things. On the other hand, females are granted buffs and don't start this way out when they arrive. (Correct me if there is a female cultivation novel like that)

In conclusion, the males usually have the tough life while the females can just relate to their past life to get things done. Not to mention getting help from the leading male(s) character(s).
 
You really can't sympathize with the female MC's suffering in their past life as they usually do a brief overview of what their other worldly harsh life was like (sometimes male as well). The males usually have to go through hardships throughout the novel which immerses the reader (most of the time).

Well, as a person who believes in gender equality, this is a frustrating problem for me. I just wish there'd be more novels where the female has to suffer hardships physically and mentally like the male trope does without the buffer and external help from their lover. I also just wish the female would pursue the Dao and not crazily fall in love.

I know you're all saying, "But Lemon! Those novels are to catch readers that love romance!"
I know! But do you think all males and females like romance cultivation novels? 
"But these are all romance cultivation novels!"
Where's the action filled, Dao pursuing cultivation novels with female MC's?!
Where's the female MC's that pursue a lonely road of cultivation like the male MC's?!
I bet there's tons of female and male readers wanting more action-packed, little romance female Xianxia/Wuxia novels!

To make matters worse, they make the males personality traits very annoying to other males! Only the Seventh Young Lady has satisfactory male traits including the leading male.

Yes this all sounds sexist, but hear me out. 
I know some like the romance part, but as a person who loves action-filled novels, the romance part isn't all that big for me. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy romance ones as well, but only if the MC is a male and the romance is kept in check and not exaggerated like the female ones. Very rarely will I enjoy a male lead in a female cultivation (Seventh Young Lady).

Yes, I am using past life experience for the female MC, but that's because I'm lazy. I can understand why the others use this buff of their female MC's, but apparently it's easy for the male and not for the female.
-------------------------
Phew! I've let out enough of my pent-up emotions. Let's end this rant about inequality towards male and female MC's.

I will try to do as little romance as possible in this novel and keep cultivation serious. There will be a little, but I don't know if I'll include a handsome male lead or multiple male leads. It all depends on the direction of this novel.

Well, I hope you all enjoy this novel when I start releasing chapters. 
Lemon Grenade signing off... [Insert Radio Music]

After being assassinated on the front-lines by a friendly soldier, Zeng Xinyue stumbled upon a mysterious golden wheel in purgatory. The wheel spun and landed on a mysterious golden symbol which was imprinted on her soul as "Telekinesis". Then her soul vanished and reincarnated into a place known as the Five Heavens, where cultivation isn't a fantasy.

Xinyue was awakened with no parents. She was given average looks and no talent for cultivation. On top of that, the orphanage leader didn't like her and kicked her out as a newborn baby! How bad is this luck?!

Will she survive as a newborn baby in civilization fraught with dangers? Will she be abducted by the forces of evil? Will this be another female cultivation love story?
Find out in the next episode of Drago- 
"Wait! That's copyright!"
*exhales a sigh of relief*
"Close call..."

"So, Mr. Narcissist. What about you?" Then she giggled.

"I'm the God of Death also known as the time keeper. I can freeze time when I want to and I can travel back in time but I can't travel into the future." 

"Why?"

"Because the future is a mess. It can still change. And I can't alter the future. That's God of Heaven's duty being the God of Fate." 

"So basically you can't interfere with each other's roles?"

"Correct." 

"D, can you do me a favor?"

D hummed as his response of approaval. 

"If you receive a memo about my death. Please let me know." 

D looked at Elaia's face. Even if it's dark inside the elevator, he can still clearly see her. Another advantage of having miraculous powers. 

"Okay. But you can't die yet. I'll grant you that favor but you must fight for your life and don't give up easily."

Hearing his words, Elaia felt warmth inside her heart. "Why?"

"Because you can't barge in my life and intrigued me, then left me hanging."

Elaia snorted. "Wow! It's like a break up line. But most of the time it's the girl who says that line."

"Damn! It's a fuckin' break up line! I thought it's another pick up line coz I read it at one of Akila's romance novels collection."

Elaia laughed so hard, and eventually D joined her with a light chuckle. 

"You better stop reading those romance novels. It doesn't happen in real life. Those were just fictions."

D gasped. "You don't have to sound bitter about romance thingy, Elaia. But why do romance novels have break up lines if it's suppose to be all cheesy and stuff?"

Elaia leaned her head on D's shoulder. "Because sometimes it doesn't go the way they wanted it to be. Sometimes people were meant to be a part of a chapter in your life but wasn't meant to be part of the whole book." 

D frowned. "That's sad."

Elaia nodded, "Yeah. But there are times that they broke up but in the end they'll be together again."

"That's so messed up."

"Everything about life and love is messed up. We just gotta choose the person who we want to be each other's mess."

They went silent for a minute. 

D broke the silence by asking, "Can you open up something about yourself?"

Elaia pursed her lips then said, "I'm not good at telling my own stories with other people except my family. And maybe, someday, with my special someone." 

D looked at the ceiling of the elevator then said with a serious tone, 

"Be my mess."

Elaia is a sickly woman, in her journey on figuring out the exact date of her death so that she can prepare her loved ones, she met Death himself. 

What if Death's first love is someone he doesn't want to die? Oh, the irony.

Lucian looked at Aileene and saw her lively expression, he didn't want her to be overworked. But it was something that Aileene seemed enthusiastic about, so he wasn't going to stop her. It was good for her to be able to interact with others too, even if it was with his ex-fiancee. Kira was an honest person and from what he knew of her, he hadn't known her very well as of present, but he didn't dislike her. He would have married her if not for his meeting with Aileene. She was a low-key person in the first place, so he was actually surprised that she would approach them now. It seemed that it wasn't only them that had changed, many weren't too far behind. 
"It's not inconveniencing for us to help," Lucian said at last, which was responded with a bright smile from Aileene and a brighter smile from Kira. He sighed seeing the two of them so hype for something so small, but a small smile couldn't help but find its way onto his lips. 
"It's not going to happen now, but there's a meeting scheduled Wednesday. Let's meet up at the library and head to the student council room together." Kira excitedly continued and wrote down a time for all of them to meet up, she was finally able to drag along someone that she wanted to befriend. So this was all good news to her, so good that all her actions were so quickly completed. It almost looked as if she was afraid that they would take back their agreement. "By the way, keep this new assembly a secret, only the student council knows of it thus far." 
Aileene nodded dutifully and Lucian watched on the side. For these two, he really began to feel as if he was the outsider. They continued to engage in simple small talk and he didn't intervene. Their interactions were just too good to be true, it made him doubt his own recollections. Had they met before, were they close? And if they were how was he completely clueless? Maybe it was just his own limited experience and unfair expectations. 
He wouldn't ever admit it aloud, but he had undoubtedly read some female romance fiction in the past.  It wasn't as if he had sought it out though, it was all from his mother's library. And because of his momentary curiosity, he pushed himself down a rabbit hole with no end. He had only wanted to know what she would do during her free time, so he thought to pick up some books from her library to read. Who knew that all the books that he had chosen and that his mother would read were piles and piles of cheesy romances with no real plot. It was just a cycle of:
Flirting  -> Misunderstanding -> Fighting -> Villains -> Rekindling -> Flirting -> Misunderstanding 
Lucian was completely surprised by how senseless every character would be, there were no exceptions and all of it was really a terrible sin. But he couldn't stop himself from reading them, no matter how horrible the book was. And he knew, he realized that all these books nowhere near classics, there was no reason to it, he kept coming back. All the novels would be similar to a fault too, each plot was barely changed enough to not be called plagiarism. But he never got bored with them. It was a point of shame for him, there was no excuse for him, a bona fide prince to be reading such filler novels. 
So eventually he stopped for his own sanity and whatever dignity he had left. Lucian had never touched that genre since. But faced with his own reality with Aileene, the first thought that he had was that it was quite similar to one of those cheesy romance novels that he had read. Even their titles were similar, they weren't normal people. They were all nobles and royalty. Which was a dime a dozen in these novels. He was a prince, Aileene was the daughter of a duke house, and Kira was the daughter of a marquess house. 
They were all people of prestige and they were all involved in a love triangle. A theoretical love triangle, since Kira had no feelings for him in real life. But if she did, then wouldn't it all just be like a novel? 
Aileene would be the kind and soft duke's daughter, the main character who fell in love with the prince of an opposing country. That prince was engaged to be wed to another, Kira, the daughter of a marquess and the principal of the academy they went to. The prince finally met the duke's daughter at the academy and he also fell in love with her. They get together at the opposition of their family. Kira is angered with jealousy and abuses Aileene with all her might, using her power at the academy. 
She would be the evil villainess who constantly tried to destroy their relationship, in the end when they got their happy ending she wouldn't have a good end. She would normally be banished and lose all her status or she could just be killed. Whatever the author felt would conclude the story quicker. 
Lucian shook his head, but all that was clearly not happening in real life. Aileene and Kira were still talking amiably, they were neither enemies or a bit opposed to each other and they didn't even seem to care about him, the romance target that they were after. They should be fighting for him if this was a cheesy romance novel of any kind, but it wasn't. He was glad for that. 
Though if he had to confess, he did have some unreasonable expectations for romance and how their affair would turn out. But everything was much smoother than he expected it to be. His warped perspective was incorrect and he was fine with that. He wouldn't want things to change since a peaceful environment and a good relationship with Aileene was better than anything else. He didn't need any more drama or excitement in his life.

While we were entangled, the door of the bathroom was suddenly thrust open by Xiao Hei. He jumped onto Ao Yun and clawed at his back. Ao Yun angrily hit Xiao Hei and he flew to the wall, but stubbornly got up and continued to pounce.

"Don't be like this!" I quickly jumped out of the bed and hugged the little cat in my arms and angrily scolded Ao Yun, "How can you treat the little cat like this, when you're such a big man, what if it gets hurts?"

Ao Yun eyes were filled with rage for a while, he calmed down and finally, his expression softened. "Sorry, this cat suddenly attacked and touched my scales, which made me lose control."

Xiao He maliciously screamed at him in my arms.

"Alright, alright, I won't do it again." Ao Yun reached out and gently rubbed the cat's head to coax it, "I was just joking, don't be angry."

"Meow wu." Xiao Heo still angrily turned his head away from him.

Ao Yun was helpless and said, "How about I give you fish to eat for dinner?" 

"Meow wu." XIao Hei slightly tilted his head as if he seemed to be thinking about it.

It was only then that my soul came back and I hurriedly went to turn on the lights and grabbed Ao Yun as I held Xiao Hei to haggle over the price. I carefully examined his back and looked at the radiant red dragon scales and couldn't help but gently touch it with my fingertips. Ao Yun immediately reached out and grabbed my hand, "Don't, they're sensitive."

"There...there are really monsters in this world..." I once again sat on my bed stunned, my mind was in a mess, my thoughts lacking a sense of direction.

Ao Yun was dissatisfied and immediately said, "I am not a monster, but I was born a dragon, a deity clan."

"Then...can you fly? Also, can you transform into a fire-breathing dragon?" I tried hard to remember the image of a dragon I had seen in a book.

"You have been reading too many western fantasy novels, right? How can that kind of ugly fire-breathing thing be on par with the peaceful and pure eastern dragon clan?" Ao Yun said even more dissatisfied, "We are the clan of the ocean. We rule the ocean and bring the rain that irrigates the earth."

"Rain is clearly formed by water vapor!" I immediately argued, "It is written like this in the books."

"That is part of it. But in the rain clouds, there are hidden dragons in control. It's only that you humans cannot see them." Ao Yun said with a smile, "Even if you momentarily see them, they will only appear vague and unclear."

It took me a long time to digest that my fiance is actually a dragon. Then according to the information that Bull devil might really be a bull, this was also digested. That wretched white crow might also be a monster, and probably has a grudge against me. All these things added up, my mind was in a mess, then I decided to set all those things aside and wholeheartedly thought about what dragons look like, and covertly watched Ao Yun, and tried to imagine what he would look like. 

In front of these chaotic state of affairs, I could still be so calm. It must be that this generation that has been saturated with romance novels and mangas.

"You're still holding on to the cat? Haven't you thought about who he is?" Ao Yun waved in front of my eyes a few times to call me back to the present. I hurriedly looked down at Xiao Hei in my hand and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Mao?"

Xiao Hei jumped out of my arms and transformed into Xiao Mao and complained, "Mother, isn't your taste too bad? Other people seeing such an adorable cat with snow paws, would name it Prince or something like Bingo, but when you saw me, you just called me Black. If I was white, then would I be called White? If I was a flower cat, then would it be little flower?"

"How can a male cat be a flower..." I was dumbstruck and pointed at him with a finger and stammered, "Why...why didn't you say anything when I gave a bath!"

"Speaking of bathing, I was very angry!" Xiao Mao sounded aggreived, "I am already this big. How can you wash me there..."

"Wash where?" Ao Yun asked with a frown beside him.

"I...I know you are a monster! I can't kill you, but you allowed me to wash your testicles!" embarrassment spread across my face, I jumped up and argued to defend my innocence.

Ao Yun kneaded his fingers and asked with a smile, "Washed where?"

"Hey don't around, otherwise don't blame for becoming hostile and saving your dragon face." and then Xiao Mao stepped back and hid behind me and said, "Where all over my body, has my mother not touched before? She used to bathe with me in the hot springs all the time when I was young..."

"I...I am really that cat woman..." I felt that my heart has suffered more shock than it ever has in the past 21 years of my life combined.

Xiao Mao pouted and unhappily said, "If you weren't my mother, why would that vinegar barrel over there let me stick to you?"

I looked at him, he seemed to appear two years younger than me, but rather he is a several hundred-year-old son and thought about this revelation and could not reconcile this information and fell to the ground and could not get up for a long time. Even the Virgin Mary situation is not up to this degree of mine ah...

Xiao Mao came to comfort me, "Don't worry about it so much. I don't mind that my mother is younger than me."

I was a little bit comforted and thought of another question, "So...then Ao Yun is your father?"

"This..." Ao Yun grabbed Xiao Mao's ear and interrupted him, "Of course, he is my son. I have been with him for 500 years."

"Well...we have been together for 500 years." Xiao Mao answered a bit vaguely, "My relationship with my father is not too good."

 "Also while you were not around, he was taken care of by his adoptive mother, Xiao Cha." Ao Yun smiled and looked at Xiao Mao and continued, "But Xiao Cha at the moment has gone traveling around the world. I don't know where she is or whether it might be dangerous, how about her adopted son go help to find her for you?"

"Adoptive mother?" I asked in confusion.

"I know where she is, there is no need for father to worry about it." Xiao Mao's expression suddenly became very unsightly, and he heavily stressed the word father, after that he softly said, "I just hope that adoptive mother can come back safely and reunite with mother, you were very good friends."

"Yes, I hope she can come back safely." Ao Yun stood up and smiled at Xiao Mao, "Certainly safe and sound. I will work hard to help you."

"Thank you." Xiao Mao face was full of anger and it almost seemed as gritting his teeth as he spoke.

I thought that the atmosphere did not seem right and so hurriedly interrupted, "What exactly is the matter?"

"Nothing." The two of them quickly answered in unison and then formed an alliance to persuade me to not be concerned and reassured me that they would resolve it.

 The night was going by and Ao Yun kept hinting at Xiao Mao many times for him to leave and not disturb look for trouble, but Xiao Mao stubbornly pretended not to see them. At this time, there was a soft knock at the door, then a gentle female voice called, "Miao Miao, I've made a late night snack, do you want to eat?"

I was sitting in between the two people feeling awkward, and Hua Rong like an angel arrived, I immediately jumped up and went out of the bed to go open the door. I saw her holding a pot of fish soup and handed it to me with a smile. Then she walked into the house and greeted everyone, "How come everyone is here?"

"Hmph." Ao Yu stood up and put on his shirt, coldly glanced at her and quickly went out the door.

Hua Rong's smile became a bit stiff but it was quickly corrected in a blink of an eye. She didn't urge Ao Yun to stay but simply paid attention to me and Xiao Mao incessantly telling us to eat and drink.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, my heart was greatly relieved and I was very grateful to Hua Rong.



MiraiSaesang's Notes: Good job, Xiao Mao! for being a cock-block...Although, it was nice for Ao Yun to have been there for Xiao Mao all these years, (although knowing how independent Xiao Mao is, Ao Yun = Easy Fish LOL)...As for Hua Rong, he probably had a fling or something with her at some point and she must have thought it was more but then got a reality check...

Thank you so much!! (✿^з^)☆

Keeley ended up splashing around in the water and tried boogeyboarding with her sons. Violet did it exactly once before giving up because she biffed it and got water up her nose. Aaron, surprisingly, was the best out of everyone at it.
"Wow, Dad! Show me how you did that!" Oliver said excitedly after Aaron managed to ride a wave all the way to shore.
"Honestly, I'm not sure how I did it but I can give it another shot," he replied with a shrug. 
It definitely wasn't a fluke because he managed to do it four more times in a row. After that all three of the boys looked at him with something akin to awe. They begged him to help them go all the way too.
At that point Keeley rejoined her daughter on the sand. She was sipping an alcohol-free pina colada and was back to her book.
"I've only ever seen you read mystery novels," Violet said after a while. "Do you not like romance?"
She nearly snorted. She hadn't touched a romance novel since was she originally eighteen years old. First it was because she didn't have time and then because she was too disappointed in how her own love had turned out.
Even after her love life was flowing smoothly following her remarriage and re-falling in love with Aaron she still couldn't stomach them. They were so unrealistic and gave people unfair hopes. Real love didn't work like it did in novels.
A wry half-smile appeared on her face. "I had my heart broken a long time ago. That kind of turned me off from romance novels and chick flicks forever."
Violet appeared intrigued. Her mother had never talked about any previous boyfriends before. "Who was it?"
Well that was one question she couldn't answer honestly. She wasn't about to ruin her daughter's opinion of her father.
"A boy I met in high school. He had a rough home life and didn't know how to be in a relationship so in the end it didn't work out. I was bitter about it for a long time. That was probably way it took your dad a while to win me over," Keeley said with a touch of irony.
It took him so long to win her over because she wasn't sure she could trust him again. After that it was fear about Lacy Knighton and Alistair Hale that kept her heart closed off even once he was her best friend again. It took the woman getting murdered for Keeley to realize what she should have months before: that she was still hopelessly in love with her husband.
"I had no idea it took Dad time to win your heart. You guys are so perfect together I figured it must  have always been that way," Violet said before taking another slurp from her straw.
Keeley shook her head, feeling a bit sheepish.
"No, it took us a while. I met him during the last half of my senior year of high school and wasn't open to love at all because of what happened before. We were apart for five and a half years before meeting up again. Even then he still had to work pretty hard to convince me to give him a chance."
Violet laughed. "Someone should make a romance novel out of your love story. I bet people would eat it up."
Ah, if only she knew. There was already a telenovela about it. But nobody knew that except for her. It was a secret she managed to keep from Aaron somehow after all these years. She didn't see the point in bringing it up and hurting his feelings unnecessarily.
"People do tend to like a persistent male lead, don't they?" Keeley asked lightly. "Your father is probably the most patient person I've ever met. He wanted only me and did everything imaginable to make that happen."
"I wish someone would love me that much." Her daughter sighed dreamily before continuing. 
"The book I'm reading is kind of like that too. The characters were apart for more than ten years because she accidentally gave him the wrong phone number. It was one digit off. But he never stopped loving her and ended up finding her again as she was engaged to a jerk."
That sounded like a classic romance novel to Keeley. She didn't think Violet was sentimental enough to enjoy that sort of thing though. She was normally so studious.
When she was younger she read a lot of historical fiction and fantasy novels. This romance novel phase was definitely a more recent development. Well, she was at a very romantic age.
Keeley had to wonder though. Violet said she wanted someone to love her as much as Aaron loved Keeley. Did she not realize Noah's feelings?
It was fairly obvious to both the Hale and Singleton parents that Noah's childish obsession with Violet as a playmate had evolved into an actual crush as he got older. The type of love she was talking about what mushy, sentimental, and supportive. A best friend relationship.
Aside from the mushiness…didn't she already have that with Noah? The boy went to every recital or concert she ever had and always showed up with flowers. How had she not realized her best friend liked her?
"Vi, I don't mean to pry into your business…but do you like Noah?" Keeley asked gently. 
The shock on her daughter's face was genuine. "Are you crazy?! Liking Noah is basically the same thing as liking Kaleb!"
Ah, the poor kid. He was going to get his hopes crushed. Keeley and Jennica had talked about it before. It was completely obvious he liked Violet as more than a friend.
For his sake, she hoped it passed soon and he was able to find someone who liked him back but at the same time…what would happen to her innocent 'I only need one person' daughter when Noah eventually fell in love with someone else?
"He's my best friend," Violet continued. "You don't fall in love with your best friend."
She sounded so certain and yet…it was a large part of the reason she was alive right now. Discounting all of the reincarnation stuff that came later, Keeley never would have married Aaron the first time if they hadn't already been best friends.
She couldn't say that now though since she had already told her daughter that it took time for him to win her over. After all this time, keeping her lies straight about who knew what from which lifetime was still confusing.
The only person who know the whole truth, oddly enough, was Aiden. Aaron had told her how he figured it out on his own the day Oliver was born. That had been shocking to say the least
Although he didn't know everything Aaron did because he had been too embarrassed to share how badly he screwed up with the woman he loved. But he was the only other person alive who knew about their double reincarnation.


Keeley, a simple plain Jane, hits the jackpot.  [No, she did not win the lottery!]  At least that's what she thinks when she marries the most eligible bachelor in New York City: Aaron, a wealthy cold-hearted heartthrob and Tycoon. 

She wants to show the world that she deserves her position and bends over  backward to fit into his world.

One beautiful day, Aaron hands her a document asking her to sign.  A divorce paper...

"She's pregnant, and I need to take responsibility."

That is the last thing that keeps on playing in her mind before she takes her last breath.

Keeley dies, a 'hit and run'. [End of story.  Not!]

For some unexplainable reason, she wakes up as her younger self.  A young high school girl, around the time when she first meets her cheating husband.

Remembering her life with Aaron before she died, she makes a promise to herself that she will do everything in her power to avoid him at all costs.

Will she be able to keep her promise when Aaron has his own plans as well, specifically for her?  Or will she repeat history and fall for him once more...

Why not journey with me and find out the truth behind their story.

Full Dive... A system for Virtual Reality where the person is put into a dream state that allows them to experience a virtual world. Eternal Phantasy a VRMMO produced by Eternal Games was the first of its kind as it made use of the Full Dive system to allow players to immerse themselves in a virtual MMO. 

Misaki Mitsu, a hidden genius whose scores were always in the top ten of her grade. She could be considered a rare genius if it was not for the fact that she would prefer to play video games all day and night instead of keeping up with her academics. Misaki slept during class and played games all night. But still was able to keep herself in the top ten of her grade. She had waited a long time since preorders were first announced to play Eternal Phantasy. A game where everything is determined by the player. 

"Mitsu did you start playing Eternal Phantasy yet?"

"Yeah, I did."

"I haven't started yet and was wondering what race to pick. Which one did you choose?"

"Demon Lord."
