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!

​“What are you to me?” Alpha Kaden snarled, his massive hand wrapping around my throat as he pinned me to the bed. ​Fear trembled through my body... but so did the sinful pleasure pooling between my thighs. I was dripping wet as his thick, hard length ground mercilessly against my tight entrance. ​“You… breeder…” I whispered shakily. ​A dark growl left his lips as his tip brushed against my wet opening. ​“Good girl,” he murmured darkly, smirking down at me. “Now spread those legs wider.” ​Blurb ​Rebecca was the illegitimate daughter of Alpha Kelvin—the unwanted stain of the Blood Moon Pack. While her cruel half-sister lived like a princess, Rebecca lived like an outcast. ​On the night of the Mating Festival, her entire world shattered. She caught her mate sleeping with her sister between the library shelves. Humiliated and rejected, Rebecca tried to run, but her mate and sister wanted her dead to keep her silent. Just as they prepared to kill her, a mysterious woman appeared and saved her. ​Weak and brutally beaten, Rebecca sank into unconsciousness. ​But when she woke up, her hands were covered in blood. The woman who had saved her was lying dead beside her—and she turned out to be none other than the Alpha King’s pregnant wife. ​Framed for murdering the Queen, Rebecca was dragged toward her execution while the entire kingdom screamed for her death. Faced with a brutal stoning, her only chance of survival was a desperate, wicked gamble. ​She offered her body to the grieving, monstrous king to become his personal breeder. ​But Alpha Kaden was no ordinary man. He was a monster feared by the entire kingdom, a ruthless king with a dead heart, incapable of love. He made Rebecca one cold promise the very first night he touched her: ​“If you ever fall in love with me, Rebecca… I will personally kill you.” ​Bound to a king who hates her as much as he craves her, Rebecca soon finds herself trapped in a dangerous game of lust, obsession, and forbidden emotions. Because the more Alpha Kaden touches her... the more she begins craving the monster who was supposed to ruin her. ​Now, Rebecca must survive the hardest battle of all: how do you hide your feelings from a man who promised you death the moment you fall for him?

—¿Qué eres para mí? —gruñó el Alpha Kaden, mientras su enorme mano se enroscaba en mi garganta y me inmovilizaba en la cama. El miedo recorrió mi cuerpo... pero también lo hizo el placer pecaminoso que se acumulaba entre mis muslos. Goteaba de excitación mientras su miembro, grueso y duro, se restregaba sin piedad contra mi estrecha entrada. —Tú... criadora... —susurré con voz temblorosa. Un gruñido oscuro salió de sus labios mientras su punta rozaba mi húmeda abertura. —Buena chica —murmuró sombríamente, sonriendo con suficiencia—. Ahora abre más esas piernas.
