Lydia, who grew up with her grandmother in a remote village, was finally taken back to the wealthy mansion. Only then did she realize that this was the result of her sickly grandmother kneeling down and begging her mother, who had long become a wealthy lady. However, her mother warned her sternly in private, "You can never call me mom! You can only call me auntie! Remember that?" The moment she entered the house, her mother's son and daughter, who were born in a wealthy family, took turns picking on her and humiliating her. What greeted her was always her mother's mocking words, "They are my babies, and you are just my niece. We eat and drink well, so what if you give in to them?" She knew that her mother might do something crazy to hide her secret. Good! Nobody can be relied on! I'll rely on myself! After surviving university, the female protagonist packed her luggage and exclaimed, "What rich family? I don't care anymore!" The female protagonist ran away from home and entered the entertainment industry! With her superb acting skills, an experienced director offered her an olive branch. Thousands of fans went crazy for her. She was invited to a charity dinner by the wealthiest man on the Fortune List. Someone even bought a big screen at Times Square to celebrate her birthday. While everyone was crazy about her, a mysterious man bought all the headlines and announced, "Thank you for liking my fiancée! But, I'm the one who loves her the most!"

The dust of a small Texas town settled around Tessica Raleigh, a world away from the familiar outskirts of Dodge City, Kansas. She didn't expect much from this "Podunk" place, certainly not excitement. Her life revolved around the rhythm of the seasons, the annual harvest of wheat and corn that her family meticulously managed. Her true sanctuary wasn't a quiet room or a bustling city street; it was the cab of a combine or a tractor, the steady hum of the engine a comforting presence as she plowed and harvested the crops. Romance was a distant, practically nonexistent, concept in her demanding schedule. Her parents, meanwhile, basked in their perceived wealth from the successful harvests, seemingly oblivious to anything beyond their financial comfort. On the Triple R Ranch, Logan Ray was living a different, yet equally focused, life. His days were steeped in the traditions of the ranch, a legacy passed down by his dad and uncles. His sophomore year had been smooth sailing, and he felt no anxieties about stepping into junior year. The only real pressure came from his friends, who relentlessly teased him about getting a girlfriend. Logan, however, had his priorities set on his studies and the demanding work of the ranch. He found far more interest in the intricacies of cattle and crops than in high school dating. This focus, however, sometimes made him a target for Kale Edwards, Sawyer Edwards' oldest son, whose animosity often manifested in physical blows.

Nine years with Graham Blackwood—his career flourished, while I was left with nothing but illness. At the annual meeting, his gaze lingered affectionately on his first love, and he said that the person he owed the most gratitude to was her. Someone asked about me. He smiled, his expression as distant as chrysanthemums: "Her? She chose that all on her own." That's when I realized—sometimes, sincerity is met with nothing but cruelty. It wasn't until I decisively walked out of his world that he finally saw the mistake and began to regret it... One day, we passed each other in the street, and my new boyfriend asked, "Who was that guy?" I smiled and patted his cheek. "Honey, don’t go poking into my past. A good girl like me only likes you." Behind me, Graham was losing his mind...

Book 1: Looney Meek was born in Boston, Massachusetts during the Salem Witch Trials. After her mom is manipulated and r**** by a man in her town, she and her mother face persecution at the hands of those who were supposed to believe her and her mother. They were tried as witches and burnt at the stake; they punished as liars, mentally ill, and ruining the life of a man due to a time where patriarchy and misogyny led to heinous acts. However, Looney Meek forever lives on, becoming the ruler of The Sheep Keep, where she minds spirits that once lived and never questioned society and just blindly followed what they were told. Because of the sheep in her town, she was burnt alive at seventeen, and her story is still told throughout the centuries. Looney essentially becomes a fairy tale and even makes herself known to people when they sin because of patriarchal, political, social, and religious conforms, because she and her mother were victims of these reforms. She welcomes you, dear reader, to her story, her reborn body, and how she and her birds either drag sheep to her keep, or protect people that are at risk of becoming what she minds. Thank you for listening to her story, and welcome to the keep! (Verb tense changes due to her telling her story in the past and present).
