Thirty-three years old. For most people, it's the prime of life. For a footballer, it's the sound of a clock that never stops ticking. August 10, 2023. While all of England buzzes with anticipation for the Premier League's opening week, Miller Jolene O'Brian sits alone in a worn-down boxing gym in Manchester. No celebration, no birthday cake. Just sweat soaking through the sharp edges of his Mohawk Mullet. Today, he turns thirty-three — and his only gift is a brutal truth: he has no club. Released by Toronto FC at the end of last season, Miller has become something of a ghost. His agent — Uncle Connor — hasn't delivered a single promising call. His name has been quietly scratched off every wishlist at the top clubs. "Too old," the scouts say. "Too slow," the data analysts whisper. Yet Miller O'Brian is nothing if not stubbornly extraordinary. While his peers are already weighing retirement or chasing final paydays in the Gulf, Miller has turned down lucrative offers from Qatar and Saudi Arabia without a second thought. He carries both an American and an Irish passport — two nations ready to hand him the captain's armband tomorrow morning, if only he'd say the word. But Miller wants only one thing. One call from The Three Lions. Every morning, he raises both palms to the sky. The Crescent and Star tattooed on his left — a prayer for his mother. The Cross on his right — a tribute to the legacy of his father. Beneath the rough exterior and the cold, steel gaze that has frozen countless defenders in their tracks, Miller is something few would expect: a gentle soul. In the presence of his parents, the fearsome striker is simply a devoted son — soft-spoken, careful, and full of quiet love. Can a thirty-three-year-old ghost of a man still haunt the dreams of an entire nation? Only time will tell. Disclaimer: This story is entirely fictional.

PROLOGUE I was walking through the hallway when I noticed a crowd of students circling someone in the middle. And there I saw a man singing which cause the students to squeal in excitement. Covering my ears, I was about to walk away when suddenly my eyes caught a Goddess in the crowd. She's the only one who stands out among them. Her beautiful eyes shone in happiness, her cute smile that can make anyone stunned in their stanceㅡ like me, her nose that I want to kiss, and her whole appearance that made my whole being tingled in a way I have never felt before. Is she aphrodite's hidden daughter? Her beauty is etherealㅡcliché, I know. My heart starts to beat faster and faster in each seconds, and it seems like I'm in heaven just by staring at her. ---------- But my smile broke the moment I saw the man who was singing approached her before kneeling in front of her and held her hands before giving it a chaste kiss. My heart broke into a thousand pieces when I saw how her smile went wide before nodding at the man. I didn't even bother to cover my ears when all of the students screamed so loud that almost break my eardrum. Silly me for crying when I just met her today. [And that's how I fell in hell from heaven.]

[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?
