Married Off To A Cold Eyed Knight

Married Off To A Cold Eyed Knight

What would you do if almost everyone around you saw you as a hindrance or not at all? What if your own father was one of those who wished you gone? That is the story of Rosemary's life. Ever since the death of her mother during accident where only she survived, Rose has felt useless. Despite her best attempts to ignore the hurtful glances and words of the royal court and her father, she can't help but feel like a wilted flower. It becomes so bad that she considers ending it all, until she is rescued by a handsome young man with cold violet eyes who promises to change her world. ---- Before long, I reached a stone bridge overlooking Kaguya river. Luckily for me, the place was empty at the moment. Although, would anyone have even bothered saving a wretch like me? At most, they probably would have just watched as I met my end in a moment of morbid curiosity. And as I stood at the edge, I remembered all the times I had cried. All the times I had hurt. But now, I was ready. I smiled as the wind whipped around me. It was time to end it. Turning around, I let my body fall backwards into the river. The sky was a sea of stars. The city lights around me sparkled like gems. It was so beautiful. For the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. I didn't regret it. No, I had finally found the courage to stand up for myself in my very own way. The water was high, so the fall itself didn't kill me instantly as I had hoped. As the river enveloped me, I closed my eyes. This was the end of my journey. A journey full of misery and tragedy. If there was another life, I hoped it would be better than this one. "Sis!" I heard a voice scream. Orlin! My brother came for me? What was he doing here? Had he followed me? But why? Did he care about me? Or was it just pity? No, right? Surely at least one person in this world loved me. Why had I given up on myself so soon? I knew he loved me. Yet, I still went through with this stupid decision. I allowed those girls and Father's words inhibit my better judgment... "Sis, where are you? Rose! Please show yourself! I want to talk!" Ore yelled at the top of his lungs. Right, my life was not all misery and tragedy. There were faint glimmers of joy and hope left. Ore was a big part of that. How selfish of me... I was actually about to abandon my brother. I tried to resurface, but my swimming skills weren't the best. To make matters worse, the current was far too strong. If not for the current, I would have at least been able to dog paddle over to the edge with some effort. My right hand broke through the fierce waters and was yanked by another hand. I was pulled out of the murky depths and saw a pair of cold violet eyes staring back at me. Father? No, it wasn't him. Although, those eyes felt familiar. Before I could make out the face of my rescuer clearly, darkness swept over me. Was it too late? I didn't want to die... Not anymore!

In a group-pampering novel, Nan Qiao was the female supporting character who lost her glamor as the female lead.

Her father wanted to cut off all ties with her, her three brothers only adored her stepsister, and her grandparents, who favored boys over girls, also sided with her stepsister from another mother. "Stop trying to tie me down. The person I love is Zhi," Nan Qiao's fiance said. "Nan Qiao, will you stop being so problematic? Your sister saved your life," her father said. "Nan Qiao, I'm very disappointed in you," her eldest brother said. "How could you hit your sister? Don't you know how fragile your sister's body is?" Her second brother asked. "I can't believe you're such a heartless person," her third brother said. "Kick her out. The Nan family won't tolerate such a horrible child!" Her grandparents exclaimed. After reincarnating, Nan Qiao came to her senses. Since none of you want me here, I'll be the first to leave this time.

Just as Nan Qiao's life was getting better, a top-notch villain in the original novel set his sights on her. Huo Yichen pinched Nan Qiao's chin and squinted a little. There was a cold look in his eyes. "What's the matter? Do you think you can run away after flirting with me?" *** Nan Qiao thought everything that happened in the past would stay in the past, but her family, like her, reincarnated with memories from the previous lifetime. Having tortured her a thousand times over, her family came to her with tears streaming down their faces and begged her to return home. "I'm sorry, Qiao. I made a mistake."

Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off

Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off

Su Qinglan sat cross-legged on the grass, holding the chubbiest tiger cub she’d ever seen. “Aww… Look at you,” she whispered, booping its tiny nose. “So cute I could eat you up...” A sudden shadow loomed over her. “What’s so good about this stinky cub?” a deep, amused voice asked. She blinked up… and froze. Towering above her was a tall tiger beast man, his golden eyes narrowed in a lazy, predatory smile. “Let’s have ours,” he said. Su Qinglan’s brain short-circuited. … Ours? OURS?! Before she could process, in the next moment she was hoisted up onto his broad shoulder like a sack of grain and carried straight toward the cave. Su Qinglan was so choked by the suddenness of it all… she forgot to even complain. *** Su Qinglan’s knees knocked together as she stared up at the enormous serpent. Its cold, red eyes narrowed, the flick of its tongue tasting the air between them. “D-Don’t eat me,” she stammered, hugging herself. “I...I’m not tasty… really, I’m stringy and full of… uh… bad cholesterol.” The snake’s head lowered until it was mere inches from her face. Her fox ears twitched wildly. And then, before she could blink...its massive body shimmered, scales turning into bronzed skin and lean muscle. Standing before her was a man so breathtakingly handsome that Su Qinglan’s poor fox eyes watered just looking at him. Su Qinglan swallowed hard, her tail fluffing up in panic. “I… I…” Her voice cracked. Okay, new problem… the snake is hot. She squeezed her eyes shut. “If you… if you really want…” She blurted, her face burning, “…y-you can… take me.” *** One moment Su Qinglan was fighting with the zombie king with all her might. Boom! The next, she woke up in a bizarre beast world… inside the body of a lazy, pampered, fat local tyrant everyone hated. The “original” Su Qinglan had been an arrogant, scheming villainess who spent her days bullying weaker beast women, chasing after handsome males, and terrorizing the tribe kids. Now, thanks to fate’s twisted sense of humor, Qinglan had inherited the body and the bad reputation. But honestly? Being fat in a beast world was still better than starving in the apocalypse. At least here, she could eat. The only problem? In this world, men weren’t just men, they were beastmen. Tall, strong, dangerous… And apparently, every beast woman was expected to have several husbands. The catch? The “original” Qinglan’s antics had scared away every decent male within a ten-mile radius. Armed with her apocalyptic survival instincts, a sharp tongue, and a mysterious system that suddenly activated... "Binding with host…" "Congratulations, host, for successfully arriving in the beast world." Qinglan decided she wasn’t going to cry about fate. If she had to live here, then she’d live big, literally.

Laid-off in the 1990s
The wave of layoffs in the 1990s was an important phenomenon in the process of China's economic system reform. At that time, China's economic system had undergone major changes, and the reform of state-owned enterprises had entered a critical period. From the perspective of the state-owned enterprises themselves, during the planned economy period, the management of state-owned enterprises was backward and inefficient. Under the impact of the market economy after the reform and opening up, they faced huge challenges. In order to adapt to the development of the market economy, many state-owned enterprises carried out large-scale restructuring and adjustment, which led to a large number of employees being laid off. Laid-off workers faced many difficulties. Financially, being unemployed was a huge blow to them. It was difficult for them to find a job again. Many people could not find a suitable job for a long time. Even if they were re-employed, their income was unstable and their wages were low. This made the family's financial situation difficult. Some even gave up their children's training classes due to financial pressure and could not afford medical expenses. Mentally, being laid off not only meant losing income, but also a crisis of identity and social status. Many people developed psychological problems such as anxiety and depression. Some laid-off workers became isolated and alienated from their families. The next generation of laid-off workers was also affected. Some families let their children drop out of school due to financial difficulties, leading to a cycle of poverty. However, the laid-off workers also showed a tenacious side. Some laid-off workers actively participated in training to improve their skills. Some entered private enterprises through the introduction of friends, while others started their own businesses or worked part-time. They gradually regained their confidence and were no longer shrouded in the shadow of the past. They began to move forward into the future. At the same time, in recent years, the government had also begun to pay attention to helping laid-off workers. However, there was still a gap in the implementation of policies and practical help. For example, training programs failed to meet market demand, making it difficult for laid-off workers to find suitable jobs even if they learned new skills. " Reborn in a Small Village in the Nineties " was equally exciting. Everyone was welcome to click and read it!

Will the staff be laid off?
In the traditional view, the establishment position had stability and was an "iron rice bowl". The possibility of layoffs was small, but as the situation developed, there were also situations where the establishment was laid off. For the establishment of public institutions, there would be no layoffs for the establishment of full financial allocation, but there was a possibility of layoffs for partial allocation (especially for those who were responsible for their own profits and losses), self-supporting units (such as when wages could not be paid), and after the establishment of public institutions became enterprises. For institutions like universities, hospitals, schools, and research institutes, there was no legal protection and no compensation (because the establishment and position did not depend on the person), and there was also the risk of being laid off. In terms of administrative establishment, there were also cases of refinement and layoff reform. For example, Henan's government agencies and institutions were streamlined by 50%, and the establishment of institutions was streamlined by 30%, and institutions with less than 16 people were no longer retained. Therefore, the establishment was no longer the same as not being laid off. Different types of establishment and units had different situations. The novel "The Lost Seventeen" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to read it!
