My mate, Harrison, didn't come home all night. When he finally showed up, the scent of another woman was tainting our mate bond. When I confronted him, he casually said the pressure from the pack was too much and he needed to let off some steam. However, on his shoulder, the mate-mark that should have held my unique moon rune was crudely covered by a strange vine pattern. At the important partnership presentation the next day, a woman named Sienna blatantly draped herself over him, whispering intimately in his ear. And I, his Luna, my face covered in silver burn spots from an alchemy accident, was wearing a veil as I fought to secure the mining rights to the Moon Silver Mines for him. Worse still, when I turned to present the final potion, I discovered that Sienna had swapped the crucial stabilizer. The potion erupted in virulent black smoke, causing the deal to fall through. Instead of blaming Sienna, Harrison roared at me, demanding to know how I, as the head alchemist, could be so negligent. Sienna then threw a tearful tantrum, whining that a Luna like me should just stay at home and have pups. Harrison rushed out after her, pulling her into his arms and leaving me standing there alone. In that moment, something inside me hardened. I wiped away my tears, my decision made. I sent out two consecutive mind-links, my commands sharp and cold. "After the celebration tonight, bring Sienna to my alchemy lab. And put something in her moonlight wine." "Father, the Valerius Pack's support for the Thorne Pack's Moon Silver Mines—it's time to cut it off."

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
