Lena Cruz isn’t your typical college student—though nobody on campus knows she’s actually an undercover spy. When her latest mission requires her to pose as someone taken so her enemies don’t suspect a thing, she remembers one person who could fit the role perfectly: Ethan Vale, her shy, quiet classmate who once she’d secretly admired for his kindness. All she has to do is convince him to be her fake boyfriend. Ethan, who’s nursed a silent crush on Lena since freshman year, can hardly believe his luck when she claims she just wants to make her “ex” jealous. But as fake hand-holding turns into stolen glances, and whispered lies blur into real feelings, Ethan finds himself falling harder than ever—completely unaware that Lena’s “ex” is the least of their problems. Because in Lena’s world, love might be fake… but danger is very, very real. Lena Cruz has been living a double life—college student by day, government operative by night. Her newest assignment is clear: get close to a dangerous target on campus without blowing her cover. The safest way? Pretend she’s already taken. The perfect candidate?

Lena tells Ethan she needs his help to make an ex jealous, and he agrees without hesitation. After all, he’s been in love with her from afar for years.

But Ethan has no idea he’s part of a mission—one that could turn deadly if Lena fails. And when the line between their fake relationship and reality starts to blur, the truth might not just break his heart… it might put his life on the line.

a country where a handful of elite families control vast wealth and influence, the powerful Huez and Graham dynasties prepare to solidify their long-standing alliance through marriage. Their heirs—Mugi Huez, the cold and formidable successor of a financial empire, and Lucia Graham, the poised daughter of a prestigious legal family—are expected to unite in a grand ceremony that symbolizes power, tradition, and control. But beneath the glittering surface of the lavish wedding lies tension and resistance. At the height of the ceremony, in front of the nation’s most influential figures, Mugi shocks everyone by publicly rejecting the marriage. Defying his family—especially his calculating mother, Melinda—he exposes the truth: the union was arranged behind his back, without his consent. What follows is even more unthinkable. Instead of walking away, Mugi descends from the stage and approaches an ordinary, overlooked guest—a young woman with no ties to the elite circle. In a bold and scandalous move, he takes her hand and claims her in front of everyone, instantly turning her into the center of attention and controversy. As whispers erupt and reputations tremble, the unexpected pairing threatens to unravel generations of carefully maintained alliances. The mysterious girl is thrust into a world of power, secrets, and manipulation, while Mugi’s true motives remain unclear. Is she merely a tool in his rebellion, or does he know more about her than anyone realizes? In a world where marriage is a transaction and loyalty is a weapon, one defiant choice may change everything—or destroy them all.

A few words about Dostoevsky himself may help the English reader to understand his work. Dostoevsky was the son of a doctor. His parents were very hard-working and deeply religious people, but so poor that they lived with their five children in only two rooms. The father and mother spent their evenings in reading aloud to their children, generally from books of a serious character. Though always sickly and delicate Dostoevsky came out third in the final examination of the Petersburg school of Engineering. There he had already begun his first work, “Poor Folk.” This story was published by the poet Nekrassov in his review and was received with acclamations. The shy, unknown youth found himself instantly something of a celebrity. A brilliant and successful career seemed to open before him, but those hopes were soon dashed. In 1849 he was arrested.

[Irresistible MC + Farming & Entrepreneurship + Strong Female Lead + Cute Baby + Love Rivalry + Farming System + Male Competition] Deng Yuyuan wakes up to find she has transmigrated into a period novel about a "pampered group darling" — as the biological mother of the vicious female villain. The female villain has a biased grandmother, a mooching uncle and his family, a blindly filial father, and a spineless mother. She was a small-time thief as a child. As an adult, she committed every kind of evil — constantly framing the female lead — and ultimately met a miserable end. The female lead is the only daughter in another family, doted on by her older brothers. The villain targeted her out of pure jealousy. And now, Deng Yuyuan has become that villain's cowardly mother — and the villain herself is currently just an ugly, wrinkly-faced infant. The blindly filial father loves his wife, but gives all the good things to his own mother. He says to his starving wife and daughter: "Xiao Yuan, come drink some water. I specially heated it for you." Deng Yuyuan looks at her own bony frame and her tiny child — and decides to get a divorce. Goodbye, useless husband. She's going to raise this little cub with an abundance of money and love. No way she'll go astray this time. Lost one husband, gained a crowd of suitors. A beautiful sent-down youth coveted by many — she knows some self-defense and burns the midnight oil studying. With the reinstatement of the college entrance exams, she takes her child toward a much wider world. Riding the wave of the times, Deng Yuyuan works her way up to become a gaming tycoon and a cutting-edge scientist... Except — why are so many men fighting to be her cub's stepfather?
