"You want to give me gifts, yet you don't want me to read them?"
"They aren't enjoyable and you won't like them for sure. I just want to let you know that I wasn't bluffing. The novels I wrote got published."
"Alright."
"It's a deal, then. You're not supposed to read them, or else, I won't give them to you."
"Deal."
Following that, Shen Xi lowered the basket filled with her books.
"Brother, these books have my autograph and they're all out of print. I've never sold autographed books before. I don't sign books even though the publishing director asks me to. Once I've become famous, the autographs will be much more valuable."
Li Yuan took the books and carefully placed them on his lap. He looked at her. "Get some rest."
Shen Xi watched as the man wheeled himself away and asked him persistently, "Brother, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Li Yuan's charming, husky voice resounded in the air. "I wish you all the best tomorrow."
Shen Xi made a hand heart gesture at his back and chirped pleasantly, "Thank you, Brother!"
Li Yuan placed the books on the most visible section of his desk, treating them with utmost care.
There were a total of eight books of medium length. They were styled in a manner befitting a teenage girl. A huge pink ribbon had been tied around the stack of books by the girl.  
"Kun Lun," Li Yuan called.
Kun Lun entered the room and was bombarded with the sight of a stack of brightly-colored books placed on an ash gray desk. The pink ribbon on the books made them look extremely out of place. "Boss?" 
"Find another set of these books," Li Yuan ordered.
Kun Lun replied, "Yes."
Had the boss not promised the girl that he would not read the books? Had he wanted to read the books after all?
All these teen novels talked about were romances between the hottest boy and the prettiest girl in high school, about how much they loved each other and could not bear to be apart, or about complicated love triangles.  
Was the boss sure that he wanted to read about teen romances made up by a young girl?
When Shen Xi got down from the wall and returned home, she overheard Shen Zhangqing speaking on the phone. It was something related to arrears and property.
"Dad, listen to me, buy the building." Shen Xi was firm in her decision. "Trust me, this district will sell."
"But what we need now is money." Shen Zhangqing was hesitant.
"Money's not an issue. We can get a loan from the back, but we must buy the building. In fact, not only those eight buildings, but we ought to buy the entire district."
"That district is dead and filled with abandoned buildings, so what's the point in buying it?" Shen Zhangqing wanted her to get some sleep. "You have to head to the company tomorrow. Get some rest, don't bother yourself with these adult matters."
His boss, who ran away with the money, had been arrested. However, he was broke and the only things left with him were the buildings he owned. Thus, he wanted to settle his debt with the eight buildings.
However, the buildings were located in a suburban district far away from the city. Development in that district went on for eight years before everything folded up two years ago. Other developers refused to take up that project and the district was abandoned.
"Dad, you gotta believe me. I've done the calculations and this district has excellent feng shui. It will sell like hotcakes one day." Shen Xi tugged at her father's arm. "Even if you aren't interested in the buildings here, he has no money to pay you. Property development is doing very well these days and the city will extend towards the suburbs."
Shen Zhangqing said, "Go to sleep."
Shen Xi wanted to cry. "If you aren't interested, do you believe me if I tell you that I'll borrow money from my big brother and buy up all of those buildings?"
She had heard of this small district known as Jin Shui Garden. It used to be a dead area populated by abandoned buildings.
One day, the government introduced a new policy and turned that place into a historical district for tourists. Development boomed and the abandoned buildings were suddenly in high demand.  


In her past life, Shen Xi always longed for love and validation from her parents, members of the wealthy Su family. Unfortunately, the attention that she yearned for was stolen by the family’s fake heiress – her elder sister, Su Ruowan. 
As a result of Su Ruowan’s evil plans, Shen Xi was crippled, disfigured and eventually died of leukemia. However, in a surprising turn of events, Shen Xi was reborn. Returned to the time when she was a seventeen-year-old teenager, she’ll set things right and get her revenge against the Su family. 


When I regained my senses I am at  the Vilches' mansion.

When I opened my eyes I saw ZK and AJ (Alpheus Jade) by my side

ZK is silently sitting by my side while AJ is standing 

My wounds are properly dressed

"How are you Annica Beatrice?"

"I am fine"

"ZK, told me that you got that from a car accident"

"It's just a minor accident"

Alpheus Jade's phone rung so he went outside the house to answer it.

"Why am I here?"

"The hospital is too far, you might get worse, so I brought you here"

"Why did you tell him that I got all this wounds and bruises from a car accident?"

"I am shocked that he's here, and the most convincing alibi that I have think of is to tell him that you got it from a car accident"

"Thank you that you didn't told him what really happened"

"I told you Rogue, your secret is safe with me"

I hugged him tight to tell him how thankful am I 

He also hugged me back

"Get well soon, I mean as soon as possible"

"Sure, Zymophore Kriegspiel Vilches" I replied with some giggles 

"Your, gear it's extremely worn out"

"Just let it go I think I need a new one the one that is not just made of fabric"

"I will take care of your new gear"

"No need"

"I insist, I will take care of it trust me Rogue Argonne"

"If you insist then, okay just make it light weight"

"Sure"

He brush my hair with his hand

"Take a rest now"

I could hear a genuine concern from his voice

I lay flat down on the bed, he turned the lights off 

"Goodnight my pretty psychopath"

"Goodnight ZK"

He slowly closes the door 

I close my eyes and try to empty my mind 

I have fallen asleep 

The bright sunlight that passes through the black tinted glass windows awakened me.

ZK is wearing his school uniform

"Good Morning pretty psychopath"

"Good Morning ZK"

I try to get out of the bed but my body still can't

"You will stay here, I won't let you go to school in that condition"

"but…"

I am not yet finished telling what I wanted to tell when he spoke

"No more complains,I promise that tommorow you can go but please, stay here for now and take a rest"

"Okay"

"Breakfast will be served here at the bed, about 10 minutes from now"

"seriously?"

"Yup, super serious"

He gently closes the door

After ten minutes the bell outside the door of the room rung

"Come in"

Maids in uniform come in

"Master ZK told us to take good care of you"

They prepared everything for me 

Well I miss my life in my own mansion

I really miss that life but I have but I have  nothing to do i need to finish my mission.

A restaurant grade hot soup is served in front of me.

I taste it, well it's really delicious

"Who cooked this soup?"

"Master AJ requested the mansion's chef to cook that for you"

"Miss we will go out , if you need something just ring the bell"

I just nod my head to  tell them that I understand what they said.

I began eating my breakfast, Well this really taste so good 

I love the buttery smell and taste of that creamy soup.

After that meal I took a sip of hot black coffee prepared by the side.

As I bring my mouth closer to the cup I could smell the strong and fragrant aroma of the coffee.

That aroma makes me so relaxed

Every sip of it I could taste the bittersweet taste that tase that I really love.

I rang the bell when I finished my breakfast

The maids come in and get the empty dishes 

"Miss, here are some medicines that you should take."

"Why do I need to take that medicine?"

"According to the doctor you need to take this medicines for your fast recovery"

"Oh,if that's the case then okay"

"She gave me the medicines and a glass of water"

"Thank you"

"You're welcome Miss"

They bowed their heads before going out of the room

I noticed a pile of books on the side table all along with a note, I know it's Alpheus Jade's penmanship

His signature attached to it so this supports my claim that this is from him

I can't read greek alphabet but I know that his signature is from the letters of the greek 

I look at the books there i found five thick books 

I started to look at it one by one the first book has a genre of romance.

I don't like stuffs like romances, all I want  is action, mystery and thriller

I don't like to read stories that I can predict it's ending

I want an unpredictable one 

Most of the books are romances

There are only two books that captivated my interests

Both of that books are mysteries, I love it reading them

Mysteries wakes up the inner detective in me 

I spent my whole day reading this books. 

I love the sound of the pages of the books when I turn them.

When I finished the half of the first book I decided to take a bath 

A paper bag of clothes for me is prepared near the comfort room of this room.

Well I think those medicines are effective I feel much even better now 

I opened the big wooden door of the comfort room.

The comfort room is state of the art, it is really designed well 

I decided to have a bubble bath

I plunged in the warm relaxing water with bubbles, this made me much even better

I grab the hanging big white towel to dry my self and get dressed.

After that bath I went back to the bed and continue reading the book 

Someone knocks on the door 

"Come in"

A little boy come in holding his I pad 

"Can I stay here?"

"Of coarse Zion Kydrex"

He sat on the bed beside me

"Why are you here?"

"Nothing, I just want to stay here"

I look at this little boy , he really look the same as his brother

"You really look like Zymophore Kriegspiel"

"No, I am much even handsome than my brother"

He said seriously while he is still watching a video on his I pad 

"I just smile at him"

"Don't worry Zymophore Kriegspiel will be here later"

"I think he's busy as the president of the Talons"

"I messaged my brother he will be here soon"

"How old are you again, Zion Kydrex?"

"4 years old,do you want to watch a movie?"

"Yes, I want to"

"What do you want to watch?"

"Any movie that you want"

"Okay"

He lean against me, we started watching  an action movie.

At first he was so talkative ,but when the movie is near to it's end he becomes quiet and fall asleep on my lap 

I get the I his I pad, turned it off and set aside

I  went out of the bed to lift  him and make sure that he is sleeping on the bed well, I also put the blanket on him.

He's so angelic, If ever I will had a son in the future, I want it  to be as handsome and as intelligent as Zion Kydrex.

I sat on the side of the bed beside  Zion Kydrex.

Continue reading the book that I am reading before.

I look at my watch it's already 7:00, ZK is still not here.

While waiting for him I continue reading  the book, think I could finish this whole book today 

Three more chapters  and I am done, well I really love the flow of this story 

While I am reading the  ending of the story some one opened the door 

I look on the direction of the door,I saw Zymophore Kriegspiel  still on his uniform

"Oh, Zion Kydrex is here"

"He had fallen asleep while waiting for you"

Zymophore Kriegspiel sat on the edge of the soft bed 

"There are so many things to be done on school, so many papers to sign"

"I understand"

I continue reading the book, just few paragraphs and I am done 

After I finished that book I set it aside and tapped ZK's shoulder 

"Zymophore Kriegspiel, I need to go home now"

"It's already late, I won't let you out You will stay here"

"What about tommorow?"

"You and AJ will go to school together"

"What about my uniform?"

He handed  me a peper bag

"Here's your uniform, I ask Thunder Kade to gave me your uniform"

"Wow, you're prepared"

"As always Rogue Argonne"

I lay on the bed beside  Zion Kydrex

"Rogue Argonne, Look at this"

Went near him

"What's that?"

"I am done sketching your new gear on my phone"

I take a closer look on his phone, the design is really great 

"Wow, this is really great"

"I used your old gear as the inspiration of your new gear but instead of orange I used blue, since blue is the hottest flame, it is also equiped with the latest technology"

I really love the design of my new gear, it is much even better than my old one.

If fits me and my revenge to that Andorra 

Andorra be ready for my return, I will defeat you .

Felizmente, ele não estava morto, apenas desmaiou, mas não tem certeza de quanto tempo permaneceu em coma. Foram dias, semanas, meses ou anos? Ele não sabia.

Despertando de seu sono de beleza, os olhos do jovem se abriram lentamente. Ao fazer isso, ele se sentiu um pouco tonto e sua visão um pouco embaçada. Ele não conseguia ver bem.

Piscando de vez em quando, ele se ajustava e se adaptava ao ambiente atual antes de se sentar e endireitar seu corpo.

Olhando em volta, ele se viu deitado em cima de um beliche. Multidões deles estavam alinhados em uma ordem um tanto militarista dentro de uma cabana de madeira. A luz do teto tinha uma vibração ocidental e um ambiente dos velhos tempos.

"Onde ... onde eu estou ...?" Ele questionou duvidosamente. Incrédulo, ele piscou mais uma vez e esfregou os olhos.

Ah, então ... eu estou em um acampamento ...

Dentro de um campo militarista americano para ser exato

"Será que ... eu realmente atravessei o Universo Marvel ...?" O jovem murmurou baixinho, as palavras ditas significavam apenas para ele.

Sua mente rapidamente circulou em um estado de confusão de redemoinho. Ele rapidamente precisava verificar seu estado de realidade naquele momento e agora mais ele chegara à noção de que enlouquecera.
O jovem imediatamente olhou para baixo e puxou os botões da calça e o zíper. Ele deu um suspiro de alívio depois disso.

Felizmente, esse carinha ainda está aqui ... e ... parece ser maior que o normal ...

Parece que minha alma atravessou, mas meu corpo não.

Atualmente, ele não conseguia verificar sua aparência, mas sabia que sua formação era a de um estrangeiro ocidental. Ele deveria ser bonito também, se não mais. Obviamente, isso foi baseado no estudo de sua pele clara e do rapaz abaixo.

Em sua última vida, ele era apenas um órfão que fora criado por uma família no final de sua idade. Sua infância consistiu muito em solidão solene e muitas vezes passou sozinha. Ele só tinha romances para se divertir no sistema de orfanatos. Gostava de se perder no mundo dos romances nos tempos livres. Seu interesse se inclinava para os romances de renascimento, para que ele aceitasse experimentar um tipo de renascimento em uma realidade alternativa.

Bem, aconteça o que acontecer, acontece, mas é melhor conhecer o meu entorno. Afinal, este é um novo ambiente e um estilo de vida diferente. Mais importante, eu deveria verificar meu dedo de ouro.
Ele estava perdido em pensamentos, preparado para explorar as profundezas de sua mente para verificar se tinha algum sistema de dedos de ouro quando, de repente, a porta se abriu e um homem loiro entrou.

Vendo o jovem recuperar a consciência, a outra parte sorriu alegremente e rapidamente caminhou em sua direção.

Percebendo a aparência da outra parte, o jovem foi rápido em agir. Ele tem certeza de que essa pessoa provavelmente é sua própria amiga.

Se ele conseguir manter uma conversa amigável e casual com esse amigo, sem revelar nenhuma falha, ele deve ser capaz de identificar sua identidade e os eventos atuais do mundo.

Este seria seu primeiro julgamento iniciando seu renascimento e o caminho para a grandeza, ou seja, para se adaptar e se misturar sem causar muita confusão. Seria difícil, mas o sucesso valeria a pena.

Os lábios do jovem se curvaram para um sorriso, sua aura quente e amigável, mas depois que seu amigo falou, seu sorriso torceu e de repente endureceu.

"Kyle, você está bem?"

Filho da puta! É um maldito inglês!
O jovem olhou para o amigo, a cabeça inclinada para o lado e o rosto cheio de preocupações. Seu sorriso desapareceu no abismo e seu rosto escureceu. Ele fechou a boca logo depois, ousando não responder.

Ele realmente queria xingar em voz alta.

Eu não seria capaz de entender o idioma depois de atravessar ?! Por que este mundo não fala português depois de atravessar ?! Foda-se, foda-se, foda-se! Seus romances de renascimento são enganosos!

Para dizer o mínimo, o jovem era apenas um estudante do ensino médio que ainda não havia se formado nem interagia com estrangeiros ocidentais. Não importa o quão bem ele se saísse em suas aulas de inglês, seria impossível se comunicar em língua nativa com estrangeiros ocidentais.

Sem mencionar, sua identidade era agora a de um estrangeiro. Se ele falasse em uma frase quebrada, apenas se exporia. Além disso, mesmo que ele entendesse, ele não entendia uma única palavra que seu amigo falasse.

Vendo o rosto do jovem embranquecer, seu amigo ficou preocupado. "Kyle, o que há de errado? Você está bem? Você precisa de um médico? O que posso fazer por você? Você está bem, certo?

Porra! Mãe de Deus, vá embora! Porra!
O jovem engoliu em seco e deu um sorriso feio. Ele se forçou a entender enquanto seu punho fechado estava agora cheio de suor frio. Ele nunca pensou que uma barreira linguística o colocaria em um dilema.

Justo quando ele se preparou para responder, embora com relutância, de repente viu uma série de cartões brancos pairando sobre o cabelo de seu amigo, que se movia em círculos lentos.

Seu amigo parecia não perceber os cartões brancos pairando no alto. Talvez porque seu foco esteja nele, ele não percebeu.

Quatro cartões brancos? O que é isso?

「Conjunto de uniforme militar de soldado americano」

Icycl Ciclista iniciante 」

「Lutador de rua iniciante」

English Proficiência em inglês para iniciantes 」

O cartão branco de Sold Conjunto de Uniforme Militar dos Soldados Americanos had tinha uma nota abaixo afirmando que o cartão não era extraível, enquanto os outros três estavam disponíveis para extrair.

Os jovens ignoraram os três primeiros cartões brancos e concentraram-se intensamente no cartão branco "Proficiência em inglês para iniciantes". O cartão oferecia ao proprietário a capacidade de dominar o inglês falado e o escrito em seu nível básico.

「Status atual: Extraível」

Você está falando sério agora ?! Eu posso extrair! Sim!

Around four in the moring, I am awakened by not only my biological clock, set over the last decade but also from a notification endlessly repeating itself until I am finally awake.

<Notification: Quest [2] available>
<+Quest [1]:
-Primary Goal= Establish your own company 
-Secondary Goal= Establish your headquarters
-Rewards= 3 free facilities +Hidden>

Reading the notification I am instantly jolted awake, the fatigue, from my extensive exploration of the functions of the system last night, forgotten. -Seems like I should go and see the mayor to fill out all the necessary documents to have my company founded.- I think while moving my heavy body out of bed.
Putting some washed out gree army workout clothes on, I leave my sisters house to explore the neighborhood to get a clear head. Being back home, here in North Carolina I am freely running out away from the urban landscape along one lone road.
Feeling the cold morning air wash over me, I reach the outer edge of the swamps. Having run now for close to two hours I am not even close be being exhausted.
Finding a solid looking tree I begin making pull-ups. -Despite being good at them now I still hate them.- I think to myself concluding my second set.
Finding a relatively dry place, I crouch down to begin some push-ups, when suddenly a notification pops up.

<Notification: Claim land to establish headquarters?>
<Buy[$350.000]/Dismiss>

-This is daylight robbery! Working for 11 years risking my life and now this system turned me into a beggar. Dismiss.- I panicking decide without further consideration.

<Notification: Claiming land to establish headquarters dismissed.>
<Notification: Merchantability Negotiation (passive) [Lv.1] unlocked>
<- Negotiation (passive) [Lv.1] :
-Lv.1: Users ability to negotiate with humans has been strengthened. User can choose to intimate or flatter another person to lower or raise price, based of the others sexual orientation.
-Lv.2: [Locked]
-[Hidden]>

-Great. Now I am able to make deals my way.- I think, while going home to my sister.
__________
-To cocks I am one, contrary to public opinion...- Remembering the words she told Henry over the phone last night, Sarah is utterly embarrassed.
-Why did I tell him that?!- Questions like that had cost her most of her nights sleep, which resulted in a totally ruined night. Of course having a tight schedule starting at 6 o'clock in the morning doesn't help her mood one bit.
Going out of bad the moment her alarm clock rings, Sarah walks into the bedroom adjoined bathroom. Looking into the bathroom mirror and seeing her signature brown hair, Sarah gets the feeling that it is time for a new look.
-Good thing that I will break up my fake relationship with Robert today.-
She thinks while multitasking. She simultaneously cleans herself for the day, shuffles her schedule around a bit to get time for an appointment with her hairstylist, while subconsciously pondering about what new hair color could suit her.

+Todays schedule:
-6:15-7:00 Workout
7:15-8:15 Skypo conference with Di
8:30- 9:00 Breakfast with family
9:15-12:00 Workout
12:30-14:00 Studio work
14:30-15:00 Lunch with Robert [Public breakup]
15:15-16:00 Interview with View
17:00-19:00 Family dinner
20:00-21:00 Workout

Reading her schedule Sarah finds it difficult to pick anything out for the hairstylist when suddenly she gets an SMS from Henry saying:
Rise and shine. A day of work awaits you.
Seeing his totally childish text message from her soldier, Sarah finds it increasingly hard to stick to her bad mood. Feeling herself smile she sends him a text message of her own...
____________
Having returned home I am in a full-on work mode, searching for the mayors number, when I get Saras text message saying:
Oh, shut up sailor.😑I am thinking about changing my hair color.🤔 Which hair color would you suggest?😉
Interrupted in my search  by her text I can only smile and write here:
How about blond. I can see you as a sexy blond.
-Shit. I will have to go shopping. Nobody does business with a man in an army uniform however many medals one has.- I mentally curse myself for having gotten the fact of my clothing.
Having no idea how to dress in style, I write Sarah another text message: What kind of suit would you say suits me? No pun intended.
Not getting an instant reply I decided to take a long warm shower. 
-The wonders of civilisation.- I think while feeling the warmth of the water envelop me.
After finishing my shower I put on a white T-shirt, combat jeans and go meet Betsy in the kitchen.
''Morning.'' I greet her and steel an already made sandwich from her plate.
''Hey! I wanted to eat that!'' My sister cries seeing me taking a healthy bite out of it.
Speaking with a now filled mouth I tell her: ''I can give it back if you want!''
''You have changed a bit over the years and no keep it. Just stop stealing my breakfast!'' Betsy tells me smiling apparently just happy to have me back in the states.
-Oh, I have changed in ways you can't and don't want to imagine.- I think to myself, while eating my contraband before asking Bets: ''We only talked about me on our way from the airport. How is your life at the moment? Anything I should be aware of? Work? Boyfriend or any nephews and nieces I should know about little sis?''
Seeing her face take a cute rosy color I am sure that there is something along the lines of my guesses.
Keeping her head down and giggling with her knife she tells me: ''Now that you speak of it, please don't  flip out!''
-Ok. Telling one to not flip out I already enough reason bo flip out.- I think to myself regulating my own heartbeat and blood pressure.
''Say it Bets?!''
''I am engaged!. With Michael!'' She confesses and my mind begins slowly to process the new information.
''Michael... You mean Michael Stavros? My high school best friend Stavros?...'' I ask her only coming up with my best friend from high school with the name Michael.
Getting only a short emphatic nod as an answer to my head explodes with memories of me and Stavros lusting after our story teacher Miss Abernathy and talking about banging the hottest chicks.
Feeling the sudden impulse to puke, I can taste the sandwich I just ate come back up.
''You are banging and engaged to Michael Stavros!'' I shout, feeling and hearing my fingers crackle from me clenching them too hard.
''Calm down Henry. What's done is done and I love him!'' Bets tell me time trying to calm me down, but I will have none of it.
''We will see about that. I hope marriage to a corpse is still illegal!'' I tell her already thinking about purchasing a colt 1911 from the system to shoot my now ex-best friend and feed his corps to the alligators in the swamp.
''Stop it! Right now!'' Bets tell me flicking a finger against my forehead to turn my thoughts away from corpses and alligators.
''Oh, I now that look. No shooting my fiance...'' Betsy tells me with a dead serious expression. 
''... or anything else that makes him unable to marry me.'' She continues after seeing an evil glint in my eyes.
-Oh?! That leaves more than enough room for torture or as the CI calls it advanced interrogation methodes.- I think to myself while nodding at her. 
''Does dad know about your plans? I can't  believe that he would allow you to marry someone whose family owns a small greek restaurant.'' I tell her having a sudden craving for geek food when remembering the times I and Bets at the Stavros family restaurant when going to high school.
''That's what I wanted to talk to you about. You see he doesn't know.'' Bets tell me, her dead serious expression changing to one of serious worry.
''Ok. First things first. You are still working as an artist?''I ask her trying to make a case for my sister.
Casting her head down my sister confesses in a low voice, making herself look as cute as possible for a 28 year old woman. ''Not any more. I am helping out Michael down at town hall as his secretary.''
''God! Sis are you serious! Please tell me the thing between you two only already started way before you began working for him...'' I tell her, hoping they didn't, knowing how against my father is against office romances. Seeing my sister head lower even further, I can't hold back my disapproval. ''... God damm it sis. Are you really so much of a slut?! How am I supposed to help you!...''
Tears rolling down my sisters cheeks, I instantly regret my words and backtrack. ''Hm... wait Michael works at town hall?''
''Yes, he does. He works for the mayor and is task to oversee city development. He is very important.''
Hearing her answer, my head instantly hits into high gear.

''Don't judge me so smugly for what I am about to do. Betsy would marry Michael anyway and it is always better to make friend rather than enemies because friends aren't on guard against you. I can always have Michael fed to the alligators later... This is my best bet to slash down the cost to buy the land for my headquarters. If I have to sell my sister to Michael and protect both of them from my father, so be it.''

[Robbed for no reason while hunting for Hoof Shadow! The famous master is nothing more than this!]
A red headline was pushed to the top of World of Martial Arts' official website. The popularity of the post continued rising as the players were attracted by the two words "Hoof Shadow" and "famous master". Soon, it became the hottest topic of the day. 
The headline was mocking and judgmental, and the pictures and sequence of events that were included as the contents in the post were clear. It was a horrifying scene of Five Venoms controlling their venomous creatures while they fought against Corpse Controller Little North and the passionate Momo. The boy and girl were very extraordinary. The girl's sword techniques were very agile and nimble, and the boy's palm techniques were strange and bizarre, while the zombies were fierce and powerful. They killed the players from Five Venoms with incredibly clean attacks. Their fight was done in a very relaxed manner. 
The sight of Happy appearing at the top of the ancient tomb with a mighty air and killing coldly to establish his authority was clearly shown in the battle replay. Countless players saw it, and soon, the crowd started condemning the trio on the official website!
For a period of time, countless people replied to the post and criticized Happy's brutality and how indulgent he was of his party members.
Even though Five Venoms did not seem like a good sect, they were rather innocent from the start to the end. They had their operation of hunting the Hoof Shadow hindered and had ended up with their entire group slaughtered. Even the Hoof Shadow was snatched. 
Many people cursed and criticized Happy. 
[He cast aside his final shred of reservation for benefits. Happy, you're at the top of the Famous People Rank! How can you not know how to protect your own reputation?]
[If they have the power to do so and want to kill you, it's only natural that you have to grit your teeth and bear with it.]
[Oh my gosh, he's actually someone like this?]
[Damn it! He'd best pray that I don't run into him…]
[If the heavens want him to die, it will surely allow him to run rampant first! Just wait, Happy's good fortune will soon come to an end!]
[Hmph… this sort of person should never have appeared on the Famous People Rank! It's embarrassing for me to be on the same rank as this person!]
The replies filled the entire website. The criticisms and denunciations against Happy came like waves. Not only did they push him to the heart of the storm, there were even some people who replied to the post and said that they were willing to ally with Five Venoms, who were the victims this time, to mobilize their manpower in the name of the sects to kill Happy. 
The chain reaction targeted at Happy soon spread to South China Martial Arts Ranking Board, but the people there reacted differently. 
After all, they stood beside Happy. Even though there were some of the students from the University of South China who criticized him, they were in the minority. The majority were more careful and meticulous. With a tolerant heart, they went searching for trouble for Five Venoms and pointed out all the despicable actions Five Venoms had done in the past. Not only did they attack their act of controlling venomous creatures, which belonged to those who walked the path of evil, they also pointed out that Five Venoms had been the first to take action. 
That was not all, however. A group of people from the Computer Engineering department formed a team with the Three Lonely Wolves as the leaders. In less than an hour, they dug out battle replays that had been posted on the official forum that denounced Five Venoms violating other players' rights to build up an even stronger momentum to denounce Five Venoms. 
[Five Venoms, can you even be considered a group at a disadvantage?!]
[You bully the weak but are afraid of the strong. This sect's methods are a little disgusting.]
[You walk down the path of evil! Don't even think about using this sort of petty tricks to deceive everyone's eyes!]
There were countless other such topics against Five Venoms. They swiftly appeared in the major forums on the official website. Once the entire university's force was mobilized, the evil conducts Five Venoms did in the past were swiftly discovered, and they were brought to light before everyone's eyes. 
In just half a day, the negative rumors targeted at Happy faded into obscurity. They were replaced by condemnation for all the evil conduct performed by Five Venoms. 
The players were especially enraged by Five Venoms' act of trying to kill someone to snatch a kill brazenly and then deploying the deplorable action of criticizing someone who was stronger than them after being defeated. This made many people who had at first accused Happy to feel incredibly ashamed and resentful. They felt that they had been deceived and manipulated! The tides changed, and now, it was Five Venoms that were pushed to the eye of the storm!
"Thank goodness we reacted quickly…"
The Three Lonely Wolves were in the dorms after they skipped class. Once they noticed that the direction of the accusations on the forum had changed, they finally released a breath of relief at the same time. Then, they turned around to speak to Happy. 
"It's fortunate that you suggested this earlier. If you only took action too late, your bad reputation would have been etched into people's hearts, and the effect would not be very good."
Bai Lang paused for a moment before he nudged the frame of his glasses higher up the bridge of his nose. "But how did you know that Five Venoms had done many deplorable acts in the past? Could it be that you planned this since the start?" he asked in puzzlement.
"No, it's just that when I saw their actions not matching what would be done by upright people, I thought it would be a good idea to search for their past deeds. I didn't expect that they had bullied and oppressed so many people before. It was luck to get myself out of trouble."
Happy's answer did not manage to clear up the trio's doubts. 
In their hearts, Happy was not the type of person who would kill someone and steal for some benefits. Besides, his expression was incredibly strange in the battle replay. There was a deep hatred on his face, which made it clear that it was not the first time he saw them. 
Of course, when the battle replay was shown on the computer, the quality was not perfect. There was a possibility that all of it was just what they perceived and not the real truth. 
"Dude, you sure know how to invite trouble. After stirring up such great trouble yesterday, you still had the time to run out for a date with the Great Beauty of the disciplinary committee outside the campus? And when you woke up, you even remembered to tell us your plan! Aren't you too much of a monster? If I were you, I would have gone on a date with Xu Yao early in the morning."
"Yup, Xu Xin and Xu Yao… Bro, just what are you planning to do?"
"Xu Yao is showing you a lot of affection right now, but you're not taking any action. What's going on?"
The trio spoke one after another. 
To them, Happy was living a very blessed life!
He was famous, and in terms of his career… If they were to talk in terms of the game, they could say that Happy was also successful. If he exchanged all his items in the virtual reality into RMB, he would have at least five hundred thousand RMB. 
There were also two beauties who had taken a fancy to him. 
It was basically the dream of all men. If the Three Lonely Wolves were in his place, they would definitely not act as stupidly as him and do nothing. 
"My attention is solely on the game right now. School romances are not very stable, and I wouldn't feel at ease with one. By the way, let me tell you something. Xu Yao, the Great Beauty of the disciplinary committee, might have already asked Li Ning to figure out my identity in the game." Happy's calm voice attracted the trio's attention back to him. "I just wanted to give you a reminder. What you want to do once my identity is exposed?"
"I see, so that's what it is."
The trio scowled and fell into deep thought.
"When you put it that way, it's not that strange anymore. I was puzzled a while ago. You aren't as handsome as I am, so why did the two great Xu Beauties take a fancy to you? If they knew your identity, I can understand it now. After all, even Phoenix Dances has dropped subtle hints that she was willing to become your girlfriend. With that being the case, it's not at all strange that Xu Yao would have become attracted to you.
"It's a pity. That's another flower stuck in—" Before Chen Fan could finish lamenting, he sensed the temperature around him fall. He quickly stopped talking and changed the topic. "If that's the case, before long, you'll have to appear before everyone with your true self, right?"
When Chen Fan finished speaking, his three dormmates frowned. Stern expressions appeared on their faces. 
"If your real identity is exposed, the worst case scenario will be that some sects will begin to target Beautiful Robes Faction, since it's the faction built by the students of the University of South China. Looks like we'll have to notify Phoenix Dances and Tea Words to increase their speed of building up the sect so we can get prepared beforehand."
"Yup."


When he returned to the World of Martial Arts, the game was filled with blood and battles! Chen Kaixin had chased after the footsteps of the one emperor, two empresses, three princes, seven dukes, and thirteen aces for three years, but during the eve of the Sword Among Us tournament in Mount Hua, he was ambushed by evil bastards, and was killed so much that his level dropped to that of a newbie. He completely lost the chance to join the ranks of the powerful players in the game! In great disappointment, Kaixin quit the game and got drunk so that he could forget his sadness, but during that stormy night, Chen Kaixin found that he had actually dreamed for a total of three years, because when he woke up again, he woke up to three years ago, when he was still a student. 

Early morning, I'm dragged out of bed by a very aggressive Yuri noona and manhandled into the companies van as we set off.

Still barely awake, I yawn uncontrollably while I make myself snug into the leather seat.

I struggle until I finally find the perfect position, unlike Baechu who is able to fall asleep in any pose,  I finally find myself comfortable, as I am turned on my side with  my right hand under me clasping my left hand that's come from the opposite side supporting my head.

Just as I am drifting back off to sleep, the driver announces unceremoniously "We are here"

I'm once again forcefully handled and dragged inside a traditional Korean themed restaurant. 

Led into a private booth. Inside I am pleasantly surprised by how modern the furnishings are as in contrast to the outside.

As I enter I am greeted by two 30 year old female faces and a couple of bigger built men behind the cameras. 

The females are professionally dressed signalling their status as office workers. 

They look to be about similar in age, around their early 30's. 

The one to my left seems like the less senior one, her hair is tied neatly as to not interfere in her work, while the other's hair is much shorter and loose in a bob styled. While neither are what you would call traditional beauties, both are above average in looks and have this working girl charm about them.

Setting my wallet and  scarf down on the table I greet.

"Morning I'm Dylan Park nice to meet you."

"Hi Dylan, I am Suri An and this is Im Jeong-ah the executive director of the show"

"We couldn't have made this meeting a little later in the day?" I laugh

"(hahaha) It's pretty late in the day ... for us" One of the two says

"7:30 ? Geez you producers have it tough. I need my beauty sleep"

"Oh so you are saying we aren't pretty enough to require beauty sleep?" Jeong-ah asks

"I take it you are the main writer?"

"Why do you say so?" She tilts her head quizzically

"Well seeing how you were able to spin my words, makes me think you worked for a tabloid" I answer

"Daebak! I used to work for Chosun"

"I knew it! You just have the face for a newspaper!  I kid, I kid. So since we have gotten the pleasantries out of the way, mind getting to the real questions? I got an audition later"

"Oh quite the confident young man we've got here" Jeong-ah says

"Some take it as arrogance" I respond

" 'It's only arrogance, if you're wrong' Did I get the saying right? " Jeong-ah asks Suri for confirmation

" If you are quoting Simone de Beauvoi, then you are correct" I interrupt

"Wow not only good looking but smart too. Trying to match a girl for you, that the audience is going to think is suitable is tough" She says

"I haven't yet said that I'll join. You seem pretty confident yourself"

"Well you coming to the meeting was 9/10ths of the work"

" You got me there. So let's start with my questions, what story do you plan on portraying to the world with me?" I ask

She takes a second to think before she breaks into a smile, " The nations love"

"Interesting, elaborate"

"In short. Due to the call I had with your agent and since I had you in mind. I have had an idea.... The greatest noona romance in history"

Taking a deep breath, she prepares herself to begin an expose.

Suri turns to me and has a look on her face as if to say, 'here were go again'

Jeong-ah then begins to speak, "Age serves an important role in the way we relate to each other, in romances especially so. Being able to break down the age gap, whether male or female is particularly interesting not only to me but to all viewers.

Noona romances have something very interesting to say about the power of choice. Unlike the more tropey romances which this show has and often portrays. 

Love and embarking on a relationship is a choice. What we usually try to portray is love as magical, bigger than ourselves, and being able to plow through any obstacles in its way — and while all of this is true, noona romances often linger over the heroines' decision-making.

If love is presented as a choice for our noonas, what sort of things get in the way of what seems like a perfectly acceptable and delightful proposition? Our first reaction would be to say the age of the hero. It's therefore up to the hero, to prove his maturity and loyalty.

Seeing you portray the hero who slowly breaks down, the older woman's walls will prove challenging and fun. 

Remember the show is semi-scripted. All we do is provide a location, i.e. date, location, theme and time. It's therefore up to you to decide if you can win her heart or not. And if you do whether the heroine be able to put her baggage aside and fully commit to the relationship?

This has the opportunity to be a rich story that explores the imperfections of human nature. After all, behind the noona romance, there's just a story about people.

So what do you say Dylan, will you join me?"

What's up with that crazed look in her face? Is she trying to get me to join a cult? I can't say she didn't speak right to my soul though.

"Who will be playing the Heroine in this story"

She takes a moment, before flashing me a knowing smirk, "That I can't tell you. But I assure you it will be Korea's biggest story ever. That I promise you."

"And If I say no?" 

"You will forever regret not taking this opportunity" 

"What are you willing to bet on this?" 

"My career and eye for talent" 

At this time in my previous life, I really can't recall if any big names joined the Got Married Production, but neither did Brilliant legacy reach 30% in ratings. 

This is a decision which for the first time since living this new life, I have no confidence in.

If this causes my wings to burn, I will just piece it together. 

Thinking back to something Choo once said, "Life is not meant to be stable, its supposed to have ups and down like a heart monitor. That's how we know that we are alive" 

Moments like those make me certain that no matter how much lives I live, I will always fall for her. 

Resolution fills my eyes as I flash her my pearly whites, stand up from the seat and reach out with my right hand toward the Pd-nim.

"LET'S SHOOT SOME REALITY TV!"

Dylan was an ordinary 18 year old with a particular taste for the older girls. What will happen when one day he finds himself in the past possessing a body no longer his own.

Hello Friends! ( ͠~ ᴗ ͠° )
I'm excited to see you picking up this first original novel of mine. In advance, THANK YOU for adding this into your collection. I do hope you will enjoy reading and just have fun...destress along the way. My motto as an author and reader is to 'escape for a single moment in time'. 
The original title of this book was 'Homewrecker's Love', but to make it easier to find, you can imagine why I renamed it. As a reader, I'm guilty of searching for these cheesy titles, so WHY NOT? Though the story's anything BUT, I promise you. 
I don't usually write contemporary romances but, I was inspired because after reading several never-ending smut manga with terrible leads...I got fed up. And thus, TCHM was born!                    ٩( ͡◡ ᴗ͡◡ )۶ Hurray! 
Please note, I love romances with smut (sex) so if it's not up your alley, please do not attempt this. You have been warned. ( ˘︹˘ ) Otherwise, seriously I hope you enjoy it.

Excerpt :

“If you’re willing, spend the night with me.” He coaxes seductively, his lips burning a path down my neck. 

What do I answer? Yes or no?

I’m not an idiot. This attractive man is prepositioning me, and I’ve never felt more alive. The lust swimming in his marvelous eyes is an aphrodisiac. It’s heady, knowing I can make a man like him crazy for me. I bite my lip, grinning naughtily. “You realize you’re the one coming onto me now?”

“Guilty as charged,” He swipes his thumb erotically across my lower lip. “You look so good. I want to eat you up.”

The instant the other party picked up her call, her eyes immediately brightened up, full of either hope or relief.
An entire night of waiting has created so much grievance in her heart that at this moment, she was on the brink of tears. However, she straightened her neck and barked harshly, "Zi Chuan, where the hell are you? Do you know that I—"
"Xiao Qiao."
His voice, on the verge of changing due to puberty, interrupted hers.
Even though he had only said a couple of words, his voice gave Qiao Lian a sense of foreboding.
She stopped yelling, as though she was afraid of what he was about to say next. Instead, she smiled and said, "Zi Chuan, how are you? Did something happen?"
Tears rolled down her face as she forced a smile. "Zi Chuan, could you come to see me, please?"
Once she finished speaking, he stayed silent for a while before uttering the last sentence one says in a relationship, "Xiao Qiao, I'm never going to see you again."
Beep, beep, beep…
As he finished, he hung up the phone without giving her a chance to speak.
Qiao Lian immediately froze on the spot.
She widened her eyes and stared at her cell phone unbelievingly. She bit her lips and said, "You won't see me again? Do you think just because you said that, we won't ever see each other again?"
She called him again. Just as the call connected, the receiver hung up again.
When she called over again, the phone had already been switched off.
He had actually switched his phone off…
Qiao Lian stared at the phone in her hands, dazed. She had cried so much that her voice was already hoarse.
That incomprehensible abandonment experience associated with youth and unfathomable romance that she had just experienced had turned her entire world upside down. 
Her mother's words before she left her house rang in her ears again, "Xiao Qiao, he can't be trusted. What if he is a con artist?"
What if he was a con artist? What should she do?
Her online romance with Zi Chuan had lasted approximately two and a half years. For two years, they had talked for almost half an hour every day, yet now, she was being told that Zi Chuan could be a con artist?
She could not believe it and picked up her phone to call him again.
His phone was still switched off.
Only then did she realize that she knew nothing about him, other than the fact that his name was 'Zi Chuan'.
She wanted to wrest an explanation out of him, but did not know how to find him.
Afterwards, for many nights, she called that familiar phone number. However, after her call connected, the answering machine would tell her that the number she called was no longer in use.
Even after so many years, each time she thought about the despair that she had experienced that night, she would have a sense of haziness and confusion. 
She stared at the cafe in front of her, and at Song Yuanxi and the man. They were chatting with each other animatedly. She frowned.
Were online romances… really reliable?
Just as she thought about this, she turned her head and saw that Shen Liangchuan was also in a daze, as though he had also reminisced about some event in the past.
What was on his mind?
As she thought about this, she saw Song Yuanxi and the man walk out of the cafe. She hurriedly looked in front of her and saw the couple get into car. Then, the car drove away.
She did not know why, but she kept feeling as though something was not quite right.
She hurriedly pushed Shen Liangchuan. "Mr. Shen, chase after them, hurry up!"
Shen Liangchuan still seemed to be in a daze. He stared at Qiao Lian and suddenly asked, "Why?"
Qiao Lian immediately said, "I still think online romances are unreliable, so we should follow them to see what they are planning to do next."
Online romances are unreliable.
That sentence again.
Shen Liangchuan's gaze was so deep that it seemed an entire person could get sucked into it. "So, has it always been fake?"
Were her feelings for him fake from the beginning just because they had been in an online romance?


They say the greatest blessing is marrying the idol you always dreamed of.

But Qiao Lian knows that reality is different...

The Internet claims that Best Actor Shen Liangchuan is a male god who is unaffected by any sexual drive, but Qiao Lian vehemently disagrees. It's a lie!

After finally carrying out the contract, Qiao Lian burst out, "I want a divorce! I don't want such a life!"
