As an avid lover of novels, Su Luo’s heart couldn’t help but ache for the male supporting characters who never get a happy ending in these novels. No matter how much of a scum the male leads were, they would always end up with the female leads, while the supporting male characters were destined to be abandoned no matter how nice they were to the female leads. Why?! Perhaps her fury gauge had been maxed out, Su Luo was chosen by the transmigration system to enter various novel worlds to save the beautiful, strong, and tragic male supporting characters. As for how she could save them… Su Luo decided that sleeping with them was the answer! The first step to sleeping with them: Improve their relationship. When faced with a polite male supporting character, Su Luo said bashfully, “It’s pouring so hard outside. Can you send me home?” When faced with an unruly male supporting character, Su Luo lifted her chin and said proudly, “You’ve caught my eye. I’m giving you three seconds to consider going home with me!” When faced with a quiet male supporting character, Su Luo smiled gently. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll stay with you the entire time.” The second step to sleeping with them: Faintly seduce them to turn them into wolves. Su Luo shrieked inside the bathroom, luring the male supporting character to barge in out of concern. Their eyes would meet, and her fair naked body would turn into the greatest weapon of seduction. During mealtimes, accidental body contact below the dining table… The last step to sleeping with them: Have the male supporting characters fall for her body completely before slowly stealing their hearts. When faced with male supporting characters who liked meek women, Su Luo acted shy and pitiful in bed. “B-be gentle…” When faced with male supporting characters who were wild in bed, Su Luo knelt before the mirror and opened her legs. A charming glint flashed in her eyes. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up.” When faced with male supporting characters with unique preferences, Su Luo leaned down, hovering over the lower half of their body as she worked hard. “Mm, it’s so hard. I love it…”"We're standing uncomfortably close and he makes no sign that he intends on moving from the position in which he has me pinned against the door, unable to flee. His eyes run down my face, my neck, over my cleavage, and he makes a sound of appreciation from his throat. He dips down to kiss me and I open to him on contact. Bringing his hands up to either side of my jaw he cradles my face, giving me a far sweeter kiss than last time. Unhurried, less desperate, but somehow it holds more intensity than last time. When he moves to deepen the kiss I give no objection, tilting my head, and lifting my arms to throw them around his neck." There's nothing quite like the freedom of college. For many young adults, it's their first experience with life on their own, but for Vale Clarke, it's about more than that. It's her one and only chance to carve a new path for herself away from her dysfunctional family. When she loses her scholarship she's faced with two options: come up with the dough, or kiss her future goodbye. Inspiration strikes her when she meets Kaden West. A hot rock prodigy born with a silver spoon in his mouth and a sense of entitlement to match. How far is Vale willing to go to lock down the future she wants?

Scott grabbed Vivian's arm as she turned away from him. “Don’t you ever walk out on me like that again!” he said angrily. Vivian let her eyes settle on his hand for a few seconds before she yanked her arm away from his grip. Noticing that she missed his touch, she shook the thought away. “The only time you have the right to tell me what to do is during working hours, and the last time I checked…. No one is working right now." His eyebrow lifted, as if calling her bluff." Really?" he asked. One side of his lips curled up in a smirk. Vivian didn't care. She was finding it very hard to keep her mouth sealed tonight, and she didn't even try to stop herself." Yes. I am not your employee right now so I can do exactly as I please!” “That's funny?” He said, but there was nothing funny about the look in his eyes. His mouth hardened with lust. “Well, since we're going with that, it also means that I can do the same, right?” Without giving her a chance to respond, he grabbed her waist and he pulled her right up against him—so close that she could feel every hard muscle in his body. His body heat warmed her, and his palm settled at the base of her spine. She couldn't think straight… Not when he bent and nipped at her bottom lip, then sucked it, soothing and enhancing the sting before returning to devour her mouth. As if she was something he knew he shouldn’t have but couldn’t resist. “Let's stop playing games,” he said as he drove his mouth down onto hers. "We both want each other…. Why don't you come up with me so we can get this thing… whatever it is… over with?" _____________ The last thing Scott McCall expected to see in his hotel room one night is a beautiful waitress.
