"In the world full of choices, I have only you!" *** Excerpt: “Marry me!” At the commanding voice, Yun Meiyi turned around with a scowl. And there he was with a face sculpted by the best artists in heaven and a body designed to torture the most defying soul in hell, he looked like any male, she had fantasized about, while reading the romantic novels. But there was something in his impeccable beauty that cautioned her against him. As if it was the call of heaven asking her to reject him straight away. “Look for someone else, I am not interested.” She said and then turned away, finding his words meaninglessly arrogant. But just as she turned, his warning came teasingly, “Are you sure you want to defy me?” Her frown deepened as she turned to ask, “What’s so special about defying you? Are you a lord of some kingdom whom one can’t defy?” The man’s lips curled up in a devilish smirk that looked like a part of his nature. “Even better. I am the Prince of Darkness. The Devil of this universe.” *** She was a human... He was the Devil of the Universe! She was betrayed... He could be called anything that meant deceit! She was poisoned ... While his existence was on stake! Without their knowledge, their fates were intertwined. Making her, his only Survival choice!! ______________ Update Schedule: Monday, Wednesday & Friday.

Sparks flew between these polar opposites, igniting an unexpected romance… Unbeknownst to them, the gears of fate were already turning cruelly.

After four years of marriage, when that stunning woman returned, Leila Jennings finally understood that her husband's chastity and icy indifference were not part of his nature. He gave her 417 a month for living expenses, yet he lavishly spent 417,000 for his old flame. The difference between being loved and not loved was painfully obvious. Sean Sinclair said he couldn't bear to let his old flame be trapped in the trivialities of marriage, which would dull her pearlescent glow, yet he wanted her to quit her job to be a housewife, willingly becoming a dim fish eye! But what Sean Sinclair didn't know was that she, Leila Jennings, was no ordinary junior employee... During the four years she was in charge of a national-level confidential scientific research project, her rank was so high that even his old flame was only qualified to be her assistant. What he knew even less was that the document he had casually signed was the divorce agreement that would terminate their relationship. One month later. Her identity as a titan in scientific research was revealed, and the divorce papers were delivered to Sean Sinclair. The usually gentle and courteous President Sinclair tore up the divorce papers, his expression shifting from disbelief to red-eyed rage. "Besides me, who would want a divorced woman?" Yet, he was the one with the tough talk, and he was also the one who knelt, begging to remarry her. When they met again, Leila Jennings was arm-in-arm with the head of a top-tier wealthy family, and the look she gave her ex-husband no longer held a trace of emotion. Mr. Cole raised a thick eyebrow, flashing the marriage certificate with his new wife: "President Sinclair, have some decency. Address her as... Mrs. Cole."

Yesterday, you were a legal shark in Saint Petersburg. A man who knew exactly what the law cost and how to move the pawns on the chessboard of power. Today, you are thirteen-year-old Alyosha Morozov. The son of a destitute nobleman, living in the attic of an old mill and falling asleep to the growl of your own empty stomach. You have no magic, no "system," and no powerful patrons. But what you do have is memories of the future, ice-cold calculation, and a crystal-clear understanding of how this damn Empire works. This is 19th-century Russia. A time when a single stroke of a pen can grind a man to dust, and rank means more than life itself. The local nobility treats you like trash, and distant relatives are already carving up the scraps of your inheritance. But they have one problem: they have no idea who they're dealing with. You won't be swinging a saber on the battlefield. Why bother, when you can command those who do? You won't become a mere merchant. Money without power is just a target on your back. You will choose the most dangerous and lucrative path of all. The path of a government official.
