unexpectedly bookish

(Caution: On Hiatus.) This is the first edition of my Chance Encounter Book Series. (No minors allowed, read at your own risk.) This is a kind of slow-paced novel. So if it's not your cup of tea, you're free to skip this. But for those who stayed despite my warning, this Author will be forever grateful to you. Now let's go to the story. *** She was the daughter of the leader of the League of Mercenaries. She was an S-Class Level Assassin and was in a league of her own. As the future successor of the Organization, she was raised to be ruthless at the very young age of five. Her future was already laid out in front of her. Little did the people around her know, that she never wanted all of this. She never wanted to take the lives of people, innocent or not. Yes, she might have been trained hard to have a heart as hard as a diamond but deep inside, her soul and conscience were screaming for her to do the right thing. On the day before her eighteenth birthday, she asked for her freedom from her parents. Her parents were against her plea for freedom as the only way to attain it was the most painful and cruel way... Death. They had struggled and did everything to be on top of the hierarchy just to protect their most precious jewel. Their beloved daughter Anastasia or Sia in the Mercenary's World. But Ana was determined to free herself. Therefore, she took the drug that she developed inside her laboratory for years without anyone's knowledge just for this day. She is willing to die just to gain her freedom. Why? Because she knew that when she came back from the dead, a new life awaits her. *** He was a nobody but became the owner of a multi-billion dollar business empire in six years. Because of this, he was labeled as a Monster in the Business World and was feared by many because of his ruthlessness and tyranny towards his enemies and competitors. His subordinates called him Satan which he didn't mind. Despite his success, he felt lonely inside. He had been in great sadness and pain and had drowned himself at work just to forget the woman who was responsible for what he became. Because of her, he despised women and treated them as his toys and just to warm his bed. The quote that said 'Changing women just like changing his clothes' perfectly described his current set-up. He'd rather be bad than give his dumb heart a chance to fall in love again. What will happen if their two paths crossed? Will she find the freedom she had been looking for after her death? Will he keep his vow to never fell in love in his lifetime? *** Feel free to talk to me on discord: OrieNovel#9306 The photo on my book cover is not mine. Credits to the rightful owner.

Six years ago, my world shattered when my boyfriend of three years, Elias, brutally discarded me for a strategic marriage, declaring that love doesn't build empires. Now, I'm a fierce crisis manager, hired to rehab the public image of Jaxon Laurent—the NHL's most notorious bad boy and a walking PR nightmare. He's arrogant, reckless, and infuriatingly gorgeous.

No real feelings, just a solid front for the cameras. Until my toxic ex returns, as the opposing custody lawyer. Before Elias can utter an arrogant word, Jaxon walks down the stairs shirtless, sliding a possessive hand around my waist.

He's been waiting for me for six long years. We swore this was just a game. So what happens when the biggest crisis I have to manage... is falling for the man who was never faking it?

One morning, Kong Xiaoxiao woke up and found herself in a futuristic interstellar era. She had become the adopted daughter of a noble family! However, her timing was awkward as the noble family's birth daughter, Kong Xixi, had been found. Xiaoxiao, as a substitute, had to step aside. The whole family: "We, the Kong family, were kind enough to bring you home from the orphanage and raise you for so many years. How could you steal things from Xixi? You're ungrateful, and we shouldn't have raised you in the first place." Fiance: "It was Xixi who helped me through my susceptible period. It's all my fault! She's so kind-hearted and has suffered for so many years. How could you blame her?" Kong Xixi: "Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to apply your information to the Interstellar Marriage Gene Matching Network. Now, you have to marry a stranger you know nothing about. You won't blame me, will you?" Due to the unbalanced gender ratio, interstellar law states that once one voluntarily applied for a marriage relationship, it couldn't be revoked; otherwise, one would be imprisoned. Looking at the mess, Kong Xiaoxiao said, "I don't want anything from the Kong family. Let's part ways here." Now, she needed to find her matched husband. Then, she saw an incredibly handsome man in his susceptible period. He has silver-white hair, fluffy dog-like ears, and nine silver-white tails lightly swaying behind him. Rong Zun softly asks, "Miss, are you here to take me home?" Kong Xiaoxiao's heart fluttered shamelessly. "Yes, let's go now!" Little did she know that the one she was taking home was not an ordinary beast person but an imperial prince and the most powerful general in the entire interstellar space!
