So-called Taisu pulse is a form of physiognomy, which can discern nobility and lowliness, foresee auspicious and ominous events, predict misfortune and fortune. Good sir, do you dare to let me feel your pulse? One pulse reading is worth a thousand gold! Look, making money is so easy, isn't it? Ah, phooey! Living two lives, Qin Liuxi's ideal is always to get by without striving for advancement, because in the world, there are always those who are willing to be lazy and not seek progress, and she is fit for such worthless tasks! But when a whole family shows up miserably and pitifully in front of her, Qin Liuxi's days as a slacker are over. Faced with the precarious Qin family in a state of distress, a maid beggar with an empty money box asking for business, Qin Liuxi has no choice but to shoulder the duties of the eldest lady, managing the household, supporting elders, and child-rearing! Qin Liuxi: I clearly got the script as a slacker, who switched it up? A cousin who questions her existence after being scolded by the eldest lady: I feel like the big sister looks at us like we're trouble! Qin Fourth Young Master, who was beaten and taught a lesson by the eldest lady: Be bolder, remove the feeling! Qin Fifth Young Master, who was lectured into a state of introversion by the eldest lady, solemnly counts on his fingers to answer questions about what the big sister is useless at: She can exorcise demons and ghosts, read faces and draw charms, heal and save people. Oh, which one did you ask about? Later, someone asked Qin Liuxi, if life could start over, what would her dream be? Qin Liuxi remained silent for a long time: To not strive for progress and to live for a hundred years!

Valoria era la omega que no podía transformarse; el bicho raro de la manada que nadie quería. Su pareja predestinada eligió a su hermana en el altar. ¿La solución de su padre? Entregarla como novia de repuesto al Rey Licántropo Azrael, el licántropo más temido y despiadado que existe. Una bestia que no ama, no siente y no muestra piedad. Él tampoco la quería. Pero se la quedó; no como esposa, no como pareja. Como un juguete. Algo bonito para romper cuando se aburre. «Eres mía hasta que yo decida que no lo eres, ratoncita. Y todavía no lo he decidido». La tortura, se burla de ella, la ve romperse y sonríe como si fuera arte. Pero en algún punto entre la crueldad y la locura, sus manos aprendieron a conocer su cuerpo antes de que su corazón aprendiera su nombre. No quiere amarla; quiere poseerla, domarla, arruinarla tan por completo que nadie más quiera lo que quede de ella. ¿Y la parte condenatoria? Ella está empezando a desearlo. Pero hay un pequeño secreto que Azrael no conoce. Esta no es la primera vida de Valoria. No sabe que la Diosa de la Luna la arrancó de la muerte con una misión: seducirlo, domarlo y poner fin a su reinado. Cien días. Es todo lo que tiene antes de que él la mate o ella lo mate a él. De lo único que la Diosa no le advirtió fue de la remota posibilidad de enamorarse del monstruo que se supone que debe destruir. ADVERTENCIAS: Este es un romance OSCURO. Azrael no es el típico héroe incomprendido y tierno. Es brutal, posesivo, moralmente corrupto, adictivo y está completamente desquiciado. Contiene contenido lascivo para mayores de 18 años, consentimiento dudoso, GIROS EN LA TRAMA y un monstruo que podría robarte o destrozarte el corazón.

Valoria era a ômega que não conseguia se transformar — a aberração da alcateia que ninguém queria. Seu companheiro predestinado escolheu a irmã dela no altar. A solução de seu pai? Entregá-la como uma noiva reserva para o Rei Lycan Azrael — o licantropo mais temido e implacável que existe. Uma besta que não ama, não sente e não demonstra misericórdia. Ele também não a queria. Mas a manteve — não como esposa, não como companheira. Como um brinquedo. Algo bonito para quebrar quando está entediado. "Você é minha até que eu decida que não é mais, ratinha. E eu ainda não decidi." Ele a tortura, a provoca, a observa quebrar e sorri como se fosse arte. Mas, em algum lugar entre a crueldade e a loucura, as mãos dele aprenderam o corpo dela antes que seu coração aprendesse seu nome. Ele não quer amá-la — ele quer possuí-la, domá-la, arruiná-la tão completamente que ninguém mais queira o que restar. E a parte condenável? Ela está começando a desejar isso. Mas há um pequeno segredo que Azrael não sabe. Este não é o primeiro rodeio de Valoria na vida. Ele não sabe que a Deusa da Lua a arrancou da morte com uma missão: seduzi-lo, domá-lo e acabar com seu reinado. Cem dias. É tudo o que ela tem antes que ele a mate ou ela o mate. A única coisa sobre a qual a deusa não a avisou foi a pequena chance de se apaixonar pelo monstro que ela deveria destruir AVISOS: Este é um romance SOMBRIO. Azrael não é seu herói fofinho e incompreendido. Ele é brutal, possessivo, moralmente corrupto, viciante e completamente desequilibrado. Espere conteúdo picante para maiores de 18 anos, consentimento duvidoso, REVIRAVOLTAS NA TRAMA e um monstro que pode roubar ou esmagar seu coração. Prossiga por sua conta e risco.

Valoria was the omega who couldn't shift — the pack freak no one wanted. Her fated mate chose her sister on the altar. Her father's solution? Hand her over as a spare bride to Lycan King Azrael — the most feared, most ruthless lycan alive. A beast who doesn't love, doesn't feel, and doesn't show mercy. He didn't want her either. But he kept her — not as a wife, not as a mate. As a toy. Something pretty to break when he's bored. "You're mine until I decide you're not, little mouse. And I haven't decided yet." He tortures her, taunts her, watches her break and smiles like it's art. But somewhere between the cruelty and the madness, his hands learned her body before his heart learned her name. He doesn't want to love her — he wants to own her, tame her, ruin her so completely that no one else will ever want what's left. And the damning part? She's starting to crave it. But there is a little secret that Azrael doesn't know. This is not Valoria's first rodeo in life. He doesn't know the Moon Goddess ripped her from death with one mission; to seduce him, tame him, and end his reign. One hundred days. That's all she has before he kills her or she kills him. The only thing the goddess didn't warn her about was the thin chance of falling for the monster she's supposed to destroy WARNINGS: This is a DARK romance. Azrael is not your soft misunderstood hero. He is brutal, possessive, morally corrupt, addictive, and utterly unhinged. Expect 18+ smutty content, dubcon, PLOT TWISTS, and a monster who might either steal or crush your heart. Proceed at your own risk (of addiction, lmao).
