"This princess's new bodyguard is the ultimate tsundere. What to do?!" Didn't he say I am annoying? Why is he looking at me with heart eyes? He said he will never be into me... What's with the fleeting touches then? Wait, what?! Did he just ask for a kiss with that professional face on? Alas, was my one-sided attraction wasn't that one sided after all? ... As the princess of Monteluna, all Amara wants is to live an idle life. She even negotiates her chance to study abroad, away from the royal family. But two years in, life throws a curveball when the King declares: "From now on, you will have a new personal bodyguard!" Rafael Varder. A brooding, mysterious man with piercing green eyes. From their first encounter, he saves her. By the second, they talk and he vanishes after making her heart flutter. The third time they meet, there’s a twist: Rafael isn’t just some handsome stranger she could crush on at will—he’s her new personal bodyguard aka her shackle. Feeling blindsided, Amara decides to take control by laying down the ground rules: no unnecessary meddling, no constant hovering, and definitely no controlling her life. But Rafael? He breaks every single one of her rules while shoving his unbearably gorgeous face in her sight 24X7. The lines get blurred as the princess and her bodyguard entangle in a game of love, hate & desires. But when Amara realizes that Rafael comes with secrets that will destroy any possibility of them, would she still give in to the temptation? Will Rafael be able to protect her—not just from danger, but from the demons of his own identity?

The world-famous hacker, Dexter, is a woman and she is the daughter of one of the most prominent families of aristocrats, going by the name Daisy Chen. Daisy has stayed away from her family, and juggled from one job to another in disguise or while cross-dressing as her alibi 'Dexter'. It never once got her into trouble, not until she chanced upon him. Ryle Harper, the CEO of Harper Societies, manages a multinational company on the surface but danger lurks beneath every façade he presents to the world. Daisy had decided to tread carefully around the man but trouble always comes uninvited. One night. One mistake. A stranger. An unprepared pregnancy. To keep her façade of being a man and not offend the devil, she did what was feasible… She disappeared without a trace. However, two years later, she finds herself facing him again only to realize that the man was, all along trying to track her down. By a twist of fate, she becomes his secretary again but this time, their deal comes with certain conditions and a time limit. But when destiny rolls its dice and Daisy has to assume the position of the head of her family, how would she escape Ryle's clutches again? Would she want to? Or would he let her? ... “Look at me,’’ his eyes darkened as he stepped towards her. With every step he took towards her, Daisy took a step back until her back hit the wall. The curtains swayed in the night wind, the glow of the pale moonlight illuminating the dark room where she could see the danger lurking in those hazel eyes. She averted her gaze. He pinched her chin and turned her face towards him, ‘’Dexter?” his fingers grazed up to her wig, ‘’Or shall I call you Daisy now? Daisy Chen?” he leaned closer to her, whispering next to her lips. Her lips parted but before she could utter a single word, her wig was tugged off. Her long dark hair came cascading down, answering all his unanswered questions. ''Tell me Daisy, or there are more ways I can make you speak,'' his hand reached inside her shirt, his long fingers grazed on the expanse of her delicate, bare skin, ''You believe me, right?" he whispered. She shivered, partly in pleasure and partly in denial of that pleasure that she felt.

Aren’t you afraid I would kill you when you are sleeping?” ‘’I don’t mind.’’ ‘’Get lost!’’ she snapped. A few days later: The man lowered his head, looking deep into her eyes, his gaze sincere, ‘’Marry me.’’ Leona looked at the man speechlessly and waved her hand, ‘’You are my ex-husband.’’ Although they were on better terms now, but there was no way they were getting romantically entangled ever again. An eternity later: ‘’Won’t you marry me?” Leona looked at the man who was standing at a little distance from her, tears brimmed in her eyes as she spoke, ‘’I am in a pathetic state and I might implicate you too. I don’t know what’s happening to me and I don’t know what the future holds. I don’t even know who I am or what my past is…’’ The man covered the distance between them and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer, ‘’Do I look like I care?” As his words fell, her lips were captured in a fiery kiss that knocked the breath out of her.

Enigmatic and wealthy, Jun Zixuan is the epitome of perfection. He has everything and that includes a suicidal and scheming wife whom he hates to the core until one day when she pours a glass of juice on him, her poison-laced words and countless insults following behind. That's where it starts. He could not take his eyes off her. Was he a masochist? What just happened?! With beauty, brains, and an endless bank balance, she has been living her best life until she is assassinated on her birthday. Waking up in the body of a scheming and penniless woman was more unacceptable for her and to top it off, she has a husband who happens to be her old friend. Just that, he acts like an entirely different person now. She settles on a master plan. Lose weight first, make money, get a divorce, settle the people who killed her, and find a way to go back to her brother. But wait...why is this cold and unapproachable husband acting like a white lotus? What is she going to do with her plans if this stunning husband refuses to let her go? ... "I want a divorce," She indifferently said. "Fine," the man coldly responded without any shift in his expression. One month later: "When are we getting divorced?" She asked calmly, not wanting to deal with a moody husband anymore. She just wanted to be done with her revenge first, then find her brother and live a carefree life like before. His gaze darkened, "The procedure is going on." Three months later: "Jun Zixuan, where the heck is our divorce paper?!" She finally lost her patience and snapped at him. One of his arms wrapped around her waist as he pulled her closer, "Are you that eager to leave me?" he asked, sadness flickered on his face despite that indifferent look. "Yes." "Oh? So sad," The man narrowed his eyes, his lips tilted up in a crafty smile before he continued, "The lawyers said that our case is a complicated one, it might take them a lifetime to draft the divorce papers."

13 years ago, she was a naive, innocent, bubbly girl who fell in love with her senior and wrote a love letter to him in her diary, 'You are the most handsome person I've ever met. Uhm... My brother is also handsome but he is my brother. So, let us get back to the point. Since you are so good-looking, I feel like I'm in love. How about I marry you after growing up? Won't you consider yourself lucky?' 13 years later, she was referred to as a demoness; she was way too cold, no longer the naive girl she used to be, she has become a mystery that people spoke of but no one has ever seen. But in all these circumstances, what remained the same was that the little girl in her memory was as narcissistic as the adult who proposed to a stranger, 'Let's get married, I'm a goddess, you know?' So, where did her usual aloof self go? Was it because handsome men were her weakness? Or was it just that one man?! ... "Hey, let's get married," she said all of a sudden to a stranger whom she met 15 minutes ago... The stranger stared at her in disbelief as he didn't know what to say... But she continued with her 'serious' proposal "You see, I'm a big fish as in one in a million. You will never meet a girl like this beautiful goddess sitting in front of you. I am young, hot and of course, I earn a lot. So you can even quit your job and be a househusband. I'll feed you and never abandon you. Isn't it a jackpot to have this goddess?" The man was dumbstruck as he had never seen such a bold girl but he quite liked it as he asked "Why me?" "Because I happen to need a husband and you look pleasing to my pretty eyes...So, let's get married?" she explained calmly and gave him her signature smile. His heart skipped a beat as he said "But you aren't allowed to take any concubines." Her eyes opened wide as she stared at him in shock but he continued, "Yes, let's get married." Tang Li, a beautiful woman with breathtaking black long hair and hazel eyes. Her name is mentioned in every magazine and every news channel as a legend but no one has seen her yet...They say she is hideous or maybe old..but is she? Lol...No, but she is surely a mystery! Mo Yuhan, the hot and happening CEO of Mo Empires and the most eligible bachelor...Cold? No, he is a thousand-year-old iceberg..... But what happens when Miss Mystery proposes to Mr. CEO...?
