It might be the richest place in the world, but 20-year-old Kaleva has spent his entire life there and it's his personal hell. Normally, he would be trapped until he finishes university and earns his magic license, but with the help of internet friends from the outside, he escapes to the Lower City. The only problem is, that's where the demons live, and they'll make you one of them if you're not careful.

How we become rivals to lovers Eric is the practical genius: a coding prodigy who uses his talent to run his family's 5-star restaurant, The Saffron Loft. His goal is function and utility. Jasper is the arrogant elite: a beautiful, visionary who sees real-world application as "mediocrity." His goal is possibility and spectacle. They are ideological enemies at the prestigious Praxis Technical Institute. When the school forces these two bitter rivals to partner on the high-stakes Global Innovation Challenge (GIC), their war begins. Trapped together, they fight to prove whose genius is superior. But as their arguments become intense late-night coding sessions, the fierce hatred that defines them gives way to an undeniable, high-tension attraction. In a world where success is everything, Eric and Jasper must decide if they can defeat the challenge—or if their explosive rivalry is destined to become something far more consuming.

I got drunk at the annual company party. I sent a text complaining about my boss, "Ian Shaw, that man is no good." Unexpectedly, it was all displayed on the big screen. The Scheming Colleague even read it out to me, word for word. I was taken away by my boss on the spot. Everyone thought I was finished. Instead, he cornered me against a wall. "We can argue all we want, but at least save me some face in front of others."

On the day we ended our relationship, he couldn’t even be bothered to show his face. Selena, the wolf spirit, roared inside my head, making my temples throb. She said, ‘I told you long ago that this man wasn’t worth it—his scent is laced with lies; I could smell it from day one.’ Two years on, this Alpha is kneeling in my clan hall, weeping like a wounded cub over two million. And me? I pulled out a one-yuan note and flung it in his face: ‘Take this. Consider it my break-up fee.’

[Hidebound Older Man VS Two-Faced Heiress: Daddy-Type + Seductress + An Old House on Fire] Everyone in Aethelgard says, a man should marry a woman from the West Family. The eldest daughter of the West Family is gentle and virtuous, a sought-after prize in high society. On the eve of her engagement. Her fiancé cheated on her. Willow West, having played the good girl for so long, decides she's done pretending. Fueled by alcohol, she finds a handsome man. Just one wall away from the scumbag ex and his mistress. The next day, she wakes up to her world collapsing. She had slept with the circle's famous 'older man'—Aiden Pierce, her dear uncle's best friend. Her impression of Aiden Pierce wasn't very good. Years ago, when she was having her first romance, she had tried to sneak a kiss with her young boyfriend, only for Aiden Pierce to report her to her uncle before their lips could even meet. The Aiden Pierce of today is even more dull—celibate and restrained, with everyone from his secretary to his assistant being male, and zero romantic scandals to his name. He's nothing short of a hidebound traditionalist! Willow West wants to escape. Aiden Pierce's well-defined hand grips her chin. "Miss West, a man's virtue is still virtue. You must take responsibility for me." * Aiden Pierce, who had practiced self-restraint for thirty years, was captured by Willow West—a woman gentle and demure in public, yet passionate and daring in private. Everyone thought Willow West was a good girl. Only Aiden Pierce knew that behind closed doors, the young woman not only smoked and drank but was also a cool, badass biker. * The assistant has recently noticed a change in the workaholic President Pierce. Not only is he hitting the gym three times a week, but his style has also shifted from uniform high-end suits to a different streetwear brand for every day of the week. His once stern and unsmiling face now frequently breaks into a smile. Even his eternally unchanged screensaver has been replaced. It's now a picture of a sexy, wavy-haired beauty in a black biker suit, holding a cigarette and sitting on a motorcycle!
