Hoshi sighed when all of her students in her Taekwondo Center left. She's all by herself again. Well, she lived alone for how many years. The feeling is not new to her. Growing up without parents trained her to be independent.
Her mother died when she was born. Her name, Hoshi, was given to her by her mother. It's a Japanese word that means 'star.' Knowing that her name was the idea of her mother, she's really happy. Even if her mother is not with her, she knew that her mother cared.
Her father, he despised her. He sees Hoshi as his biggest mistake. Once upon a time, her mother and father met and both of them are drunk, so they gave in to lust, and Hoshi was created. Sadly, may Hoshi's father is already married when Hoshi's mother gave birth to her. Basically, she's an illegitimate child.
Her dad provided her a maid and never forgot to give her money. Until now, he's still providing money to Hoshi. Compensation for his absence as a father. Even though Hoshi is living with a maid, she still feels alone. The maid is just there to prepare meals for her, and to make sure that she isn't missing.
Hoshi sighed when she realized that she's reminiscing her sad past again. The events in her life isn't worth remembering. If she were to choose a single memory that she's always remember, it's when she established the Taekwondo Center.
Hoshi studied Taekwondo out of boredom when she was still in college, and unexpectedly, she became a black-belter. She believed that Taekwondo is her passion, so even if she's an Accountancy graduate, she decided to be a Taekwondo instructor of her own Taekwondo Center.
Hoshi suddenly wanted to go to the beach, so she packed up and drove to the nearest beach. When she arrived, she gave her car keys to the valet and went to the beach resort's hotel. She reserved a room before leaving so she just showed the proof to the receptionist.
A bellboy accompanied her to her room and she was not surprised to see the interior at all. 
She decided to sleep and just enjoy her vacation the next day.






HOSHI blankly stared at the people in the beach.
Why are they all happy?
She silently observed everyone around her when someone suddenly called her name. She immediately knew who the owner of the voice is.
"Hoshi. What a coincidence." The person who called her said. Hoshi faced the person who called her and she was right, it was Haley, the woman who also despises Hoshi because her boyfriend likes Hoshi. Looking at Haley and Hoshi, it's evident that Hoshi is more beautiful even if she didn't put any makeup in her face.
Haley is very insecure so she just decided to hate Hoshi in her entire lifetime.
'Meh, what a waste of time.' Hoshi thought to her self.
"Hello, Haley." Hoshi tried her best to politely greet Haley. She even smiled sweetly at Haley even if her mind wanted her to roll her eyes at Haley.
"Hoshi, Hoshi, Hoshi. I just broke up with Rex. You wanna have him? Go. I won't intervene." Haley said. Hoshi snorted. So what if they broke up? Also, who would like that Rex who only knows how to boast? 
"So what if you broke up? What does it have to do with me? Do you want me to let the world know about your break-up? Should I send you an interviewer from a magazine company?" Hoshi blurted out and Haley's face became sour. She was very unhappy with what Hoshi had said.
"Your mouth... It's no doubt that you're your mother's daughter. Fighting for something that never belonged to her in the first place. Fighting for something useless. Daddy made the right decision when he decided to disown you." Hoshi tried her best not to use her taekwondo skills on Haley, but she was startled when Haley pulled her towards the sea. Haley is too strong so Hoshi just stayed silent and let Haley freely pull her.
They reached the sea and Haley didn't stop pulling Hoshi. The next thing Hoshi knew was that she can't reach the sand beneath the sea. She can't swim!
She tried her best to lift her body but the waves are too strong. She only saw Haley who was swimming towards the shore.
'I'm dying!'
Hoshi drowned silently and no one noticed her. What an unfortunate way of dying!






HOSHI opened her eyes and sat properly. She's in a bath tub and her head is underwater.
'Eh, how did I end up here?'
'Wasn't I already dead?'
She scanned the surroundings and realized that she's in an Ancient Chinese traditional bathroom. She stepped out of the bath tub. She stared at her reflection in the water. Same face, same body built, same everything. The only thing that is different is the place where she is.
Hoshi left the bathroom to clarify what the hell is really happening. She never visited the place where she is right now in her entire life. How did she end up here? Is this just a dream?
Hoshi slapped her face hard, and it hurts as hell! Well, at least she had confirmed that everything is real.
Hoshi walked silently and took a look in her surroundings. She's certain that she's in an ancient Chinese mansion. She can remember seeing the decoration of the room in a historical drama.
Everything still hadn't sank in Hoshi's mind when a group of ladies pulled her towards a room. She assumed that these people are maids.
'Eh, this people still exist? Are we shooting a historical drama right now?'
Hoshi was startled when the ladies removed her clothes. They then made Hoshi wear a red qun kwa [1]. Then, a red veil covered her head.
*[1] Qun Kwa: The traditional Chinese wedding dress; The Qun Kwa is a two-piece jacket and skirt combo that is normally red and adorned with embroideries of dragons and phoenixes.
Hoshi didn't know what's happening. The next thing she knew is that she's inside a palanquin or a shoulder carriage. They're already moving.
Just... What the hell is happening?
Suddenly, everything that happened sank in Hoshi's mind. She wore a qun kwa, a red wedding veil, and she's inside a shoulder carriage...
'I'm getting married!'
But, how did she end up marrying someone? And why does the wedding follow a Chinese tradition? She doesn't have a Chinese boyfriend!
"We have arrived at Prince Yu's Manor!" Someone announced and he said it in Mandarin. Hoshi miraculously understood what the person was saying.
'How? I never studied the Chinese language! Is this my special talent which is hidden for so long?'
She stepped of the palanquin and a bunch of people brought her to a room.
'Of course I know where they would bring me. Waaah! They'll bring me to the bridal chamber!'
The door closed and everyone left. Hoshi removed the red veil that covered her face. She heard that removing the veil by yourself would bring you bad luck.
'So what? I was unlucky in my entire life!'
Hoshi thought of everything that happened and she still can't get it. Suddenly, her head ached. Maybe it's because of over-thinking.
When Hoshi opened her eyes, everything seemed ten times bigger than her. She tried to walk and it's quite hard! It's like her feet are too small to carry her body.
'Damn, did I suddenly become Alice in the Wonderland?'
Hoshi went to the bathroom to see her reflection. Luckily, there's a paddle of water near the bathroom door. She stared at her reflection in the water and she's lost in her own thoughts.
How did she become a cute little fox with nine furry tales?
Again, her head ached and memories flowed in her mind like a flowing river.

Hoshi is a dedicated Taekwondo instructor.  Accountant by profession, Taekwondo instructor by choice. She grew up without a mother because her mother died after giving birth to her, and her father has another family so he just gives Hoshi money. In Hoshi's 25 years of existence, she's used to being alone.

She went to the beach to have a vacation but unexpectedly, she met her enemy in there. She offended her enemy so she drowned in the sea. When she opened her eyes, she's inside an ancient Chinese bathroom, her head was underwater.

She stood up and stared at her reflection in the water,  she has the same face, the same body built, but the place where she is, it's very unfamiliar.

When she went out of the bathroom, a bunch of female servants in hanfu pulled her towards the dressing room. She wore a qun kwa, and the servants fixed her hair, and covered her head with a red veil.

Then, the servants brought her to a shoulder carriage. Hoshi peeped through the curtain and saw that everyone is now walking. When the circumstances sank in to her head, she realized that she's dressed up as a bride, and she'll be brought to her husband's mansion.

When they reached the mansion, the servants and eunuch brought her to the bridal chamber. She removed her veil when everyone left, so what if it's bad luck?

She thought of the events that happened and suddenly, her head ached. Just as she opened her eyes, she found it hard to move. It seems like her body is too small. 

She went to the bathroom to see her reflection in the water, and she was surprised to see that she became a cute white fox with nine furry tails!

As the pillar of Huayi, Director Feng had never had to worry about finding capital.
"We should rethink the leftover scripts. Indie films are not profitable. Most people won't pay to watch them, but they are necessary for the Chinese market. Director Chen Kaige is sincere."
Why do all of you keep glancing at me? Am I such a narrow-minded man?
Qin Guan was speechless. He had filed that lawsuit because the director had done something wrong. This hadn't been personal. He considered the matter resolved. Qin Guan thought of himself as a reasonable man that never passed on his anger to others.
However, everyone was looking at him now, so he had to take a stand.
"In my opinion, Chinese films should develop all around. The box office is only one factor. The operator of the company could just carry out the original plan. I have no objections to that."
The person in charge of public relations let out a long sigh of relief. She was glad to see the shareholders and directors talk harmoniously. When they didn't, things were tougher for her.
"Okay. Then we can get back to Director Chen about his proposal for 'Mei Lanfang'."
"Chen has gone through lots of difficulties during the past few years. After that Waterloo, it took more than one year for him to prepare for his next film, yet he has finally returned to his field of expertise. That's great. It's much harder for directors to transform than it is for actors."
"Yes. Not everyone is good at shooting commercial films. Chinese directors should stick to their own style and principles."
This was just polite conversation. In fact, if they were given enough money and good actors, every director would transform, regardless of their style. Nobody would pass on such a chance.
"The final project is a franchise collaboration with Tiancheng. It's a big production, so a single company wouldn't qualify. If necessary, we'll unite agencies from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. The franchise includes two films, each one for every year. John Woo will direct. The actors are still being cast."
"All the departments can come up with suggestions for the casting. We'll leave Qin Guan's issue for later."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Now, let's talk about TV series. Nowadays, the market is filled with martial art and historical shows. The Ministry of Culture has specifically pointed out that film and TV production companies should be more creative and shoot shows about ordinary people or army life."
"I have two good scripts in my hands. One of them I got thanks to Qin Guan. The other one came from Director Zhao Baogang. Everyone must be familiar with him."
Thanks to me?
Although Qin Guan was confused, he didn't break in. He just listened to the speaker.
"'Struggle' is a city drama about young people's lives. It stands out among the scripts, as it has nothing to do with family or neighborhood relations. Plus, we do not have to invest much in it."
"Yes, that's pretty good."
After a short discussion, the show was approved.
"The other show is more controversial. Are you familiar with former General Tan from the Beijing Military Region?"
Who?
"I heard that he was your neighbor in Yantai..."
Grandpa Tan? Where was Grandpa Sun then?
"In 2002, the Beijing Modern Drama Troupe made a theater play out of it. Its original name was 'Erna Raid'. It was awarded at the Chinese Theater Festival. I wonder why the old general sent it to you. The scriptwriter also agreed to the proposal."
"The investment will be left up to you."
A good neighbor was better than a brother in another town. Qin Guan nodded repeatedly in excitement. He decided that he would both invest and star in the project.
Actually, this was treasure. If it was made into a TV series, it would win even more awards. Its literature and cultural awards already indicated its distinction.
This was Qin Guan's opportunity to star in another classic and make profit from it.
Qin Guan tried his best to calm down.
"I remember him. He is my neighbor. I value his trust, so I won't disappoint him. The budget is not much. I can cover it independently. Are there any regulations or sharing arrangements?"
"Yes," an assistant replied.
"Okay." Qin Guan nodded. "We will follow the company's rules and procedures."
What a considerate shareholder! He was even willing to take a risk for his company.
The big drama was yet to come.


Qin Guan was reborn and sent back to his final semester in High School 18 years ago. Getting a second chance at life, he works hard to turn things around and eventually become a Prince Charming. What will his life be like the second time around? What will he have to go through? How will he succeed in turning from a loser into a Prince Charming? Read this story carefully and find out!

When Lily opened her eyes, her surrounding was dark.
 
Lily never heard about people who passed out because they accidentally cut their fingers with a knife while trying to cut through three layers of duct tape from a package sent by anonymous.
 
Lily must be the first one and she felt embarrassed by it. If anyone ever heard this, she will die from embarrassment.
 
Lily tried to sit up and she was careful not to put any pressure on her finger since earlier, it was so painful and Lily even fainted from that pain.
 
"Eh?" Lily felt that her finger was not painful anymore. She touched her finger and even caressed it to feel the cut, but she could not find any. "Where is the cut?"
 
Lily tried to stand up to reach for the lamp switch, but her knees gave up and she fell back onto the floor. The floor creaked loudly when she fell.
 
"Eh? Why would the floor creaks?" The floor of her new apartment studio was a white tile so there would be no chance of creaking. What happened?
 
Since it was dark, Lily could not see anything so she tried to reach and touched everything around her with her fingers and she stumbled into something. 
 
"Why would there be hay in my house?" Lily spoke loudly, almost shouting but her voice came out hoarse. "Eh? Why is my voice hoarse? Mic testing. One, two, three. Testing…" Lily coughed because her throat could not take it anymore.
 
Her throat was dry and her voice hoarse. Lily did not know what happened to her but at this moment, she was coughing non-stop.
 
"Third Miss, are you awake?" A quiet whisper can be heard from outside.
 
Lily patted her chest to stop her coughing. Who is this Third Miss? Were there other people in her house? Lily tried hard but her cough won't stop.
 
The door opened and Lily could see a young girl in traditional Chinese garment came in. She looked like those actors in Chinese historical drama that Lily likes to watch during the weekend. But of course, the young girl in front of her was less attractive since she was too skinny and pale without any makeup on her face.
 
"This servant is glad that you wake up, Third Miss." The girl came to where Lily was and out of the blue, started conducting body check. After that, the girl cried and fell on her knee.
 
"This servant is useless. This servant failed to protect Third Miss from bullying. This servant deserves punishment." Then suddenly after proclaiming such dramatic lines that can be heard from historical drama, the girl continued slapping herself.
 
Lily tried to say something but she was having a coughing fit so she could not stop the young girl. She patted her chest and let the girl slapped herself swollen.
 
The moonlight from the outside was bright so Lily shut her eyes to get used to the light. After sometimes, when Lily opened her eyes, she was able to see a little bit inside the dark place. Seeing such a thing made her cough stopped. Where the hell was she?

She was sitting inside a shed with a lot of hays. Or storeroom, maybe, Lily was not sure. Then when she looked at her body, she was too shocked that she could not speak. She was wearing jeans and a red shirt earlier. What happened to her now?
 
Lily was wearing a traditional Chinese garment as well. Her clothes were way better compared to the young girl's attire, her hand is pale and skinny. Lily felt that she even shrunk in height. Then she remembered the most important part – her chest.
 
Lily touched her chest and her nightmare came into life. Her chest shrunk as well. "My full C cup is gone. Where is my C cup? I don't accept this flat A. This is not my body. I refused to accept this."
 
The young girl stopped slapping herself when she saw Lily touching her own body. The young girl's eyes widened, and she approached Lily.
 
"Third Miss, are you alright?" The young girl held Lily's hand to help her stood up.
 
But her knee was so much in pain, Lily fell back down. "Ouch. What is happening to me? I can't even stand up."
 
Lily looked around in her surrounding in case someone is pulling a hidden camera on her. "Candid camera! Come out now, I don't want to play anymore."
 
"Third Miss, what are you saying? What candid? What camera?" The young girl in front of her with a swollen cheek looked at Lily earnestly. 
 
That look made Lily stiffened her back. She looked at the girl's clothing and her hairstyle down to her shoes. Damn it. Is this the legendary transmigration?
 
Lily calmed herself. Usually, in transmigration novels, the modern-day female lead who transmigrated into the historical world will retain the memory of her host. So, basically, Lily transmigrated in the body of the Third Miss. What else?
 
Nothing came to her mind so Lily hit her head since the female lead will usually feel excruciating pain on her head while the memories of her old host came into her mind.
 
"The heck!" Lily braced herself and slapped her cheek this time but to no avail, nothing came to her mind. No memories of the current body she occupied. Nothing at all. Zero.
 
Lily was taken aback. How would she live in this world without any clue? This is not how it goes in the cliché transmigration story. At least, the main character knew something about the future or if not, at least the main character has magical power and great skill. Usually, later on, the main character will even be contracted magical beast and become powerful.
 
Lily held out her hand. "Power! Come out!" She raised her hand in case her power came out. Anime characters usually have a pose when they were trying to call forth their magical power.
 
Nothing happened.
 
The young girl suddenly took a step back from Lily.
 
Lily put down her hand, giving up the idea of her having such a powerful power, magic or heavenly constitution. Because it was obvious that she did not.
 
"Young girl, what is your name?" Lily realized that the girl seemed to be afraid of her. She could not let the girl became afraid of her or suspected her of being someone else.
 
Lily still could not accept the fact that she transmigrated, but she did not know how to get away from this situation too. It would be better if she lay low for the time being while she tried to find a way to return to the modern world. Lily did not want to spend her life in an unknown world she knows nothing about.
 
It would be better if she lived like a normal historical person for the time being no matter how hard it was to accept the fact that Lily was stranded in a foreign world. She should try her best to go back to her world.
 
The servant girl widened her eyes again, Lily was not sure if people in this era did that a lot, but Lily wondered if their eyes would be painful later.
 
"Oh no. Something is really wrong with the third miss." The girl stepped back and tried to run out the door. Before she could move a step, Lily grabbed her skirt.
 
"Someone, please call the doctor. Third Miss is sick, she could not…" The girl stopped shouting when she heard a loud thud behind her. "Argh, Third Miss, are you fine?". The girl approached Lily to help her stand while crying once again. "This servant is useless. This servant caused third miss to fall."
 
Lily tried to prevent the girl from going out and tell everyone that she was crazy but once again, her knee weakened, and Lily fell flat on her face this time.
 
Falling on a wooden floor was damn painful but at the same time, memories came rushing to Lily's mind. The memory flowed causing her head intense pain, she felt that her head would explode anytime soon.
 
Unable to withstand the pain, Lily pulled her already dishevelled long hair. The crying sound from the girl next to her was not helping at all.
 
"Xiao Ting, shut up!" Lily barked at the girl.
 
The girl stopped crying almost immediately. She took a deep breath to calm herself. "This servant will call the doctor." After that, Xiao Ting ran outside while shouting and calling for help.
 
It would be lucky of her if anyone would help her but unfortunately, the body she occupied now with the identity of Third Miss in this family had a bad reputation.
 
From being the unfavoured daughter and having no talent in cultivation, Lily guessed that she had to suffer on behalf of the body later on.

What will you do when your normal life turns into a fantasy adventure where all the things you knew before seem to be only a scratch of a well-hidden society?

Two hours later.
Caroline was already done crying, her pillow was soaked with her tears.
She cried a river and her voice was sounding hoarse due to so much crying.
Her phone starts ringing, she immediately checks the caller, her face brightened up when she saw that her caller was her husband.
"Hello...hubby! Where are you now?" she said while holding the phone close to her ear.
"Hello sweetie, I already arrived in my hotel suite," he paused for a moment. "Hey, why does your voice sounds different, are you crying?" he asked her.
"Yes a bit," she answered truthfully.
"Huh? But why...?" he was puzzled why she cried.
"Because I missed you so much already," she replied.
"I missed you too! Don't worry, I will try to finish my business here and then come back to your side... as soon as possible, okay?"
"OK," she responded. "Eat plenty of lunch," she said.
"You too! I'll call you later, sweetie, I'm going to meet my business partner in a while, bye my love," he said.
"Okay, bye hubby, talk to you later," she said and ended the call.
She placed her phone back in the bedside table.
It's going to go dark soon. She was thinking about what she's going to cook for dinner? She was not in the mood for cooking a dish since she was the only one who will be eating, so boring.
She will just order a lasagna and have it delivered to her home, that's right!
She reached for her phone and ended ordering two bo of lasagnas for dinner.
Done ordering, she put down the phone on the bedside table and went inside the bathroom to take a quick shower to improve her mood.
She finished showering within fifteen minutes.
She went out of the bathroom and took fresh clothes from the closet.
She went back to bed and turn on the television. She will try to find some interesting movies to sink her teeth into. For some reason she doesn't want to watch a comedy show tonight, no matter what she does, her sadness and loneliness can no longer be hidden by her fake laughter.
Now that her husband was away, she no longer needs to pretend that she was completely happy.
If she feels like crying she will cry.
A few minutes later, there was a ring on the doorbell, it's probably the lasagna she ordered.
She put a robe over her body and opened the door.
"Hello Ma'am, food delivery," announced the delivery man and handed the box of lasagna to the woman.
"Thank you," Caroline said and paid the guy with cash. "Keep the change," she added.
The delivery guy smiled broadly. "Thank you very much, Ma'am," he said feeling grateful and turned around going back to the elevator.
Caroline closed the door behind her.
She glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, it's already 6:00 in the evening.
It's still early to eat dinner.
She will have dinner at 7:00.
For now, she just wants to see something entertaining that would take her mind away from her dilemma.
She went back to the bedroom and browse different channels on the television.
There are so many shows to choose from, she ended up watching a Chinese Historical Drama which is five hours long.
She enjoyed watching the history of the past Chinese dynasty and the costumes of the royal family are awesome!
She was enjoying the show while eating the lasagna in the middle of watching the film. She discovered in the movie that the royal family would sometimes poison or execute their relatives, family members, friends, or anyone just for personal gain and steal the throne and the crown.
The Chinese historical drama was filled with betrayal, killings, torture, heartbreaks, and magnificent scenery as well as the bloody battlefield that was visually stunning at the same time filled with tragedy and heartbreaks.
She paused the drama for a few minutes to dispose of her trash into the kitchen and drink some water.
When she comes back into the bedroom she was already sipping a lime soda from the can.
She was about to continue watching the drama when her phone rings.
She answered it right away knowing that it's her beloved husband calling her to check on her.
"Hubby..." she said cheerfully.
"Sweetie...what are you doing right now?" he asked.
"I'm watching a Chinese Historical Drama on TV while eating lasagna," she answered. "How about you?" she asked him back.
"I'm currently having dinner with my business partner in the hotel's restaurant," he replied.
"Who is your business partner, a man or woman?" she asked curiously.
"It's a man, and he was with his wife right now, eating dinner with me, don't be jealous," he said chuckling.
"I just want to be sure," she replied smiling.
"Don't worry, you're the only one for me. You have nothing to worry when it comes to loyalty and devotion, I'm yours only," he assured her.
"That's good to hear. Alright, you may go back now to your business partner. Call me before you sleep tonight, okay?"
"Yes, sweetie. I'll call you later, bye..."
"Bye hubby..."
Their conversation ended. Caroline put her cellphone back in the table and resumed watching the historical drama.
She finished watching the drama by 11:00 in the evening. She turns off the TV and brushed her teeth.
She changed into her pajamas and get ready to sleep.
She was lying in the bed waiting for her husband's call.
His call came at 11:30.
"Hello, sweetie...are you going to sleep now?" he asked.
"Yes, I'm just waiting for your call," she replied. "Where are you now? Still outside?"
"No. I'm already inside my hotel suite preparing to sleep. Good night my love, sweet dreams. Dream of me tonight!" he said.
"Yes, I will. I love you, hubby!" she said teary-eyed.
"I love you more, sweetie," Mike responded.
"Night night..." she murmured.
"Sleep well," he said.
"You too...hug and kiss you...bye-bye..." he added.
Caroline was already reduced to tears and can no longer reply 'coz he already ended the call.
She cried for thirty minutes and was surprised that she still has tears left when she already cried a river earlier.
She put the phone on the table and turn on the lampshade. She hugged her husband's pillow tightly and smell his masculine scent. She will miss sleeping beside him at night and waking up in the morning looking into his eyes. She will miss his romantic and gentle side. She will miss everything about him.
"I love you so much, hubby!" she said aloud and her voice echoed inside the room.
One hour later...she finally fall into a deep slumber.
She woke up in a dream.
She was lying in the bed, opening her eyes slowly, the sun was already shining brightly outside based on the sunlight passing through the window.
Her eyes darted on the clock hanging on the wall, the hand of time shows that's it's already 9:00 in the morning. She was about to get up from the bed when she noticed that someone is sleeping beside her in the bed.
She was staring at the man beside, who is he?
All of a sudden the sleeping man turned around and face her, wrapping his arms around her.
"Good morning, babe," the man smiled at her.
Caroline covered her mouth in shock. It's not her husband Mike sleeping with her in the bed.
It's Alex!
How come this guy sleeps in her bed, where is her husband Mike?
She pushed him away from her. "Get off me!" she shouted at him trying to put a distance between them.
She was about to scream and shout at him...
"Shhh...don't be too loud, babe...you will wake up our precious twins!" Alex silences her.
Caroline's eyes widened in shock. Huh? Since when did she become a mother? And how come she gives birth to a twin?
Then a loud wail of a baby tore into the bedroom and then another wailing followed.
The entire bedroom was filled with the crying of two babies.
Caroline looked around the bedroom and she saw two cribs nearby.
Alex stood up and rushed to the cribs. He picked up the baby on the first crib and deposited it into Caroline's arms.
Caroline accepted the baby reluctantly and gazes into the baby's eyes. The baby stopped crying.
Alex returned to the bed holding the other baby in his arms. "Stop crying baby, Mommy is here," he said gently.
Caroline brows furrowed. "Who is the mother of these babies?" she asked in great astonishment.
Alex's brows knitted together. "Huh? What kind of question is that? Of course, you are the mother of these babies, who else?" he declared.
Caroline was shocked!
"And who is the father?" she asked fearing to hear his answer.
"Huh? What kind of question is that? Of course, I am the father! Babe, why are you asking me such nonsense questions? We are the parents of these babies. You give birth to them. I got you pregnant with my sperm and that's the truth..." he explained casually.
"B-but...I'm already a married woman. I have a husband. I'm married to him!" she reasoned with him.
"What's the problem? You can always annul your marriage with your husband and marry me," Alex insisted.
Caroline took a deep breath, feeling agitated.
How come she put herself into this big dilemma, giving birth to another guy's children? While she was a married woman?
She sits there in the bed, staring at the two babies, and staring at the guy who impregnated her.
What the hell is going on with her life?
How everything become so damn complicated?


*Love doesn't always bring the best person into your life, sometimes, love brings the worst people into your life.
 ~
Caroline loves money, an ambitious woman who will do anything for money. She come from a poor family background. Envious of her twin sister's good fortune enjoying a happy and secured life with her wealthy husband, Caroline believed that she must also be granted with the same amazing fate as her twin sister.

She knows that money always comes with a heavy price... she's willing to pay any price!

Meet... Mr. X... aka. Alex...he's upbringing isn't something that he can be proud of. He had a hard time trusting anyone. He rose to power, fame and wealth not because he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth but because it's an inheritance bestowed to him from the wealthy man who adopted him. 

When these two people meet...
What's gonna happen?
Will there will be sparks igniting between them?
How about attraction, is it possible?
And how about love?
Will love bring the best or worst out of them?
~~~
( Excerpt from the novel: )

Maybe she already developed tender feelings for him, but it's not yet on the same level as her feelings for her husband. But she thinks that if she stays longer in Alex's side she will eventually fall in love with his wonderful personality and his expertise when it comes to giving her mind-blowing pleasure every time they have intimate moments together.
When she was with Alex, there is no awkwardness between them as if they have known each other for a long time. Any woman who can capture Alex's love and affection...she will be a lucky woman!
Honestly, if she didn't meet Mike and she met Alex first, she will fall for him hard 'coz he is easy to love, maybe because they have good chemistry together?
A smile appeared on her lips.
That was also the time Alex glanced at her. He was looking at her tenderly, loving her smile.
Their eyes locked for a few minutes... their gaze spoke volumes.
Alex stood up, he went to her side, he whispered in her ear while nuzzling it, licking it lightly, producing arousing tingles on Carolines' body. "Let's make love after we're done cleaning the kitchen," he suggested naughtily.
Caroline giggled. "OMG, you're so insatiable!" 
Alex grinned. "When it comes to you, I'm forever your slave, willing to bring pleasure to your body, anytime and anywhere," he winked at her and began kissing the exposed skin on her neck.

Whatever the two agree upon can not be changed even if the agency does not totally agree.

====
 
Will things go as how the adults want them to be or will it just be a cover for the two to ensure their loving parents are happy.

Let's start the journey with her to find out.

Jiang Cheng's father, Jiang Dejun, was a very traditional man especially when it came to his work. He always considered himself a traditional scholar and held himself to old traditional ideas. 

So when Jiang Cheng applied to Shanghai Drama Academy, although Jiang Dejun eventually nodded his agreement, he still held some reservations.

Jiang Dejun had always wanted Jiang Cheng to inherit his so-called traditional culture and ideas, so he always wanted him to become something along the lines of a literary major or a history major, he didn't expect Jiang Cheng to choose the performing arts.

He had always held a biased opinion against actors and the entertainment industry and though acting was considered part of the arts he viewed it as something of lower rank. 

In the past, Jiang Cheng always wanted to prove to his father that even if he became an actor in the future, he wouldn't forget the culture, traditions, and ideas inherited from Chinese civilization and would instead strive to promote them.

The old Jiang Cheng thought of writing a book. He thought if he could write a book that could gain Jiang Dejun's admiration and respect, he would have no objections.

It was a pity that although he was very smart and held outstanding academic achievements since childhood, engaging in book publishing and editing work since childhood, his fondness of literature and writing alone wasn't enough when it actually came down to it.

Writing a book was very difficult.

After all, writing one wasn't just writing whatever came to mind but the long-term accumulation of skill and writing material.

Therefore, although the original Jiang Cheng always held such an idea it unfortunately never came to fruition.

But there was no such problem now. Jiang Cheng had a lifetime of memories and experiences. Not to mention Jiang Cheng himself was a screenwriter, a master of storytelling. In his memories there were a huge number of best-selling books, more than a decade's worth. 

However, considering his current age and identity, Jiang Cheng decided to plagiarize the future historical book: 'Stories About The Ming Dynasty' that would become popular in the south and the north.

In the past, when it came to history, the first thing people thought of was the rigid records of history textbooks. Rarely did anyone except those studying the subject deliberately consult those history books. It was because the books were truly unsightly!

Except for those without much choice or the truly enthusiastic no one else would be willing to troll through thick chunks of information filled with nothing but facts and dates. 

But the emergence of "Stories About The Ming Dynasty" had broken those previous conventions, letting people realize for the first time that history could be written like this.

Although it delivered the same information, the writing method used by the author was different. It was a kind of fresh brushwork full of vitality, the characters seemed like they were all about to jump out of the book.

With his pen, the historical figures were no longer rigid names you had to memorize for an exam but real people. As the Ming Dynasty experienced its ups and downs, you couldn't stop reading. 

True to the opening words of the book: [History should be fun to read]. The author did his best to make learning about the Ming Dynasty enjoyable.

As a screenwriter, Jiang Cheng knew that the success of a good book was one that allowed the reader to have a strong sense of substitution when reading it. If there was a sense of substitution, the reader would unconsciously fall into the world of the book and would read on not wanting to stop; on the contrary, if there was no sense of substitution, the reader would just place the book down and move on.

Undoubtedly, the previous rigid history books wouldn't give anyone a sense of substitution. 

Especially now so, as technology developed and people became less and less interested in researching the past and reading ancient texts. With less and less need in real life, there were fewer and fewer people who studied history.

"Stories About The Ming Dynasty" was different. The author Mingyue used humorous language to narrate those historical events like they were telling a story. The historical characters were given humanity and character, this made them feel more like humans with flesh and blood, people that had actually lived once upon a time. 

The reader discovered over time that the emperors and princes in history too were ordinary people, they too had joys and sorrows, as well as worries and fears. As if passing through space and time, the reader felt a strong resonance and those historical figures and historical events seemed to be within reach.

This book successfully increased interest in history. Showing that history wasn't something only for professors but something that everyone could touch.

Therefore, writing this book could not only cope with Jiang Dejun's complaints, but also indirectly ignite his fame, killing two birds with one stone, especially since he was most in need of fame now, why not?

Getting excited as he thought of his plan, Jiang Cheng immediately acted.

First of all, he found lots of books about the Ming Dynasty. After all, it was a thing of his previous life. Jiang Cheng's memory of the book was only an approximation, he only remembered the language style, as well as the overarching plot. 

Moreover, Jiang Cheng didn't intend to copy Mingyue word for word, it would only be a loose frame, he wanted to write something that was his own.

Fortunately, his father had a plethora of history books if nothing else.

After selecting a couple of relevant ones, Jiang Cheng turned on the desktop again and opened up Word.

The first input was a huge title- [Stories About The Ming Dynasty]

Then the famous sentence under the title: [History should be fun to read] 

The title of the first chapter "Emperor Hongwu" followed and as the story of the legendary emperor Zhu Zhongba slowly unfolded, the book also began to take shape little by little....

Jiang Cheng a screenwriter is reincarnated to 2001, into the seventeen-year-old body of another Jiang Cheng. 

Clutching onto the dreams of his previous life he attempts to succeed where he previously failed. 

He starts from scratch, as a small-time screenwriter writing television shows and movie scripts. 

Filled with dreams of becoming a generational  entertainment legend and establishing an entertainment empire he takes the road to become the King of Film.

The thermos cups were just a joke. After the call that morning, Luo Mingxin had felt annoyed because he was threatened. He was Celebrity Luo; how could he be threatened by a woman‽ After realizing his face had been lost, he had purposely challenged Brother Shuang to make himself feel better. However, to everyone's surprise, the joke did not become a joke, and it was really exciting.
With everyone watching, Brother Shuang looked at Luo Mingxin with a half-smile before downing the three cups of brandy without any comment. A cup was about 300 ml, so three cups were about one liter. Brother Shuang gulped them down like they were water. His face did not redden, and he even managed to maintain his polite demeanor.
"Even if it's just water, the stomach will be bloated," someone grumbled, and the gazes in the room looked at him like they had seen a ghost.
"You dummy!" Director Zhou recovered from his shock and immediately ordered his men, "Quick, go take a look at him. Don't let the alcohol burn a hole in his stomach. You really think you're shooting a drama‽"
Then he smacked Luo Mingxin on the back of his shoulder and berated, "You're another one! You're already an adult, so why are you bullying Xiao Ye?!"
Chaos erupted in the room. Even Luo Mingxin came to offer Ye Shuang some concern. Ye Shuang felt embarrassed being the focus of so much attention. After Ye Shuang confirmed that he was really fine and the people saw he did not show any symptoms of alcohol poisoning, they finally relaxed.
Competitiveness… Ye Shuang snuck into her seat silently, and while she was chatting with others, she felt like sighing. She had once again been influenced by testosterone. Testosterone made her territorial, so when she was in a same space as other males, she would not allow other males to blind her light unless it was the 'leader'. In this case, it was Director Zhou who called for the gathering… Otherwise, it would have been seen as a taunt from any other male.
Thinking back to how she had been taunted by Brother Fei in the past and Luo Mingxin today, Ye Shuang realized that her Brother Shuang seemed to be slowly going down the domineering route. This was not a good thing. It was satisfying, yes, but it also very easily garnered her plenty of unnecessary enemies. Therefore, she reminded herself to be low-profile in the future.
"Xiao Ye, you're such a good drinker!" Director Zhou said in a booming voice. He raised his thumb at Ye Shuang after seeing how unaffected she was after downing so much alcohol. He happily gave her a mission. "Tomorrow night, you'll be following me when I go socializing with those government officials. This is perfect! Finally, someone to help block that alcohol!"
Wait, what about my low-profile‽ Ye Shuang's lips twitched slightly before saying, "…Okay."
When the gathering ended, everyone was slightly drunk. Thankfully, the designated drivers had not touched a drop of alcohol. Therefore, two full cars drove everyone back to their hotels.
Luo Mingxin was handled by his assistant while Ye Shuang could handle herself just fine. He looked not much different from when he arrived. His face was not flushed or pale, and his eyes were shining with brilliance. His tapered fingers used the chopsticks masterfully to pick at the food. It did not seem like he needed anyone to look over him.
"You really don't need us to send you home‽" Luo Mingxin was blurry from alcohol, his electric eyes even more alluring than usual. Due to the drinking, his voice had become sexily hoarse. He leaned against his assistant and drawled, "You don't need to be polite around me. After all, you've asked me for a lift before."
"I don't want to be that much trouble since it's already midnight." Ye Shuang smiled and then shook her head. "You need the rest more than me. After all, I can hide myself tomorrow, but you're the main character."
Ye Shuang's plan was to arrive after the screening had started. Then she would hide backstage. After all, she did not need the exposure.
"You're boring." Luo Mingxin shook his head. He shoved his assistant aside and leaned toward Ye Shuang. "Everyone wants to be famous but not you. The thing that you have been given, others fight their whole life for. You're not keeping a low-profile; you're creating enemies. Things that other people want, you have, but you toss it away. You think you're keeping a low-profile, but others will think you're looking down on them."
The assistant was shocked; he apologized profusely as he tried to drag Luo Mingxin to the car. "Brother Ye, I'm so sorry. Celebrity Luo likes to talk when he's drunk, please don't mind it."
Ye Shuang sighed as she reached out to hold Luo Mingxin, who had smacked his assistant's hands away. "It's fine, I don't mind it… But your analysis this time is wrong. I'm not trying to look down on anyone; I simply do not have the time."
"Because of that crappy job‽" Luo Mingxin's face fell like he just remembered something, "That con woman can take care of everything; she won't need you."
Ye Shuang did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Can you please be more tactful with your words?"
She hated dealing with drunks; they would make use of their drunkenness to say horrible things, but the next day, they could officially say that they did not remember anything.
Luo Mingxin puffed up his chest and replied, "No!"
After a few more words, Luo Mingxin fainted, and Ye Shuang resigned to her fate of helping get him into the car. Celebrity Luo trained his body daily, and the weight of his muscles was leaning fully on other people because he could not maintain his balance. It was hard to deal with. When this happened in the past, Luo Mingxin would be conscious enough to allow his assistant to haul him into the car, but after the tussle with Ye Shuang, he fainted before he even entered the car. The assistant was helpless. Thankfully, Ye Shuang was there to help him. Otherwise, the poor assistant would have needed to drag the man in alone.
"I'm so sorry, and thank you so much for your help." Looking at the ease with which Ye Shuang carried Luo Mingxin, the assistant wiped his sweat and gasped with shock. Then he had to explain, "Celebrity Luo didn't mean anything by the things that he said; he just had a little too much to drink tonight…"
"I don't think that's all." Ye Shuang shoved the man into the backseat and, after she straightened herself, asked, "There has to be something on his mind, right?"
Thinking back to the sponsor offer that morning and the drunken words that night, Ye Shuang felt like the man would not recommend her so much for no reason. After all, they were not that close, and Luo Mingxin would not care so much for an acquaintance.
The assistant was embarrassed. "It's nothing big. Celebrity Luo has a good script—a wuxia script—but he could not find a good partner to shoot it with, so it has been delayed for almost a year already… Have you heard of Xiao Zhu Hou?"
"A web novelist?" Ye Shuang thought about it. "He's quite famous, but I don't read many web novels."
That was a lie. She did not read many male web novels. After all, she was a woman; she would relate more to female webnovels. "The one who writes historical drama?"
"Yes, that's the one." The assistant smiled shyly. "He has a novel based on Nan Song. The word count is just right for an adaptation, but the characterization is hard. As people like to say, there's no Hwa Xia after the Battle of Ya San[1]. Celebrity Luo is actually a nationalist and couldn't rest easy hearing the youths today showing their admiration for other cultures, so he has been vying to try a historical drama, but he's picky so…"
Ye Shuang thought about it, and indeed, she had not heard about Luo Mingxin doing any historical dramas before. Firstly, it was the limitation of topic, and secondly, the limitation of the actor. Even though there were plenty of historical dramas, most of them were about emperors, like Kang Xi or Wu Han… Nan Song‽ People knew about Wen Tianxing, Lu Xiufu, and Yue Fei, but none of this era's emperors were popular!
"I understand, but I simply don't have the time." Ye Shuang did want to help her idol fulfil his dream, but she could not guarantee the appearance of her male form, so she could only apologize."Just pretend like you haven't said a word to me today. Take good care of Celebrity Luo."
The assistant tried to say something, but Ye Shuang had already jumped into the cab.
The taxi drove a distance away, and the assistant pulled open the backdoor carefully and nudged Luo Mingxin. "Celebrity Luo?"
Luo Mingxin did not open his eyes and mumbled, "Nothing works with him…"
He then turned over and continued to sleep.
He had asked his assistant to stay to try to persuade Ye Shuang. Even if he might reject it, at least he could use this topic to continue to persuade him, but he did not expect the man to be so adamant in rejecting it. He had even told his assistant to not tell him that he knew anything about this.
The man did not intend to enter this business. The assistant shrugged. There was nothing much he could say. He closed the door and walked to the driver's seat to drive the car.
At the same time, Ye Shuang logged into the website inside the taxi.
It was easy to find Xiao Zhu Hou's works. The man was either a history student or Chinese language student. His writing was interesting and started his timeline from Shang Zhou. He had written something in every Chinese dynasty, and the shortest among them was tens of thousands of words, and the longer ones reached into millions. His latest work was on the Ming Dynasty, and probably next year, he would start one about the Qing Dynasty.
Nan Song… Ye Shuang followed the timeline and soon found the webnovel that was being adapted into a drama that Luo Mingxin's assistant had spoken about. The word count was 460,000 words.
Goodness, that's long. Thankfully, I didn't promise anything.
Since she had time on her hands, Ye Shuang added the book into her library and started to read.
[1] An online concept that mocks the 'true' lineage of Chinese history. The Battle of Ya San was the last war between the Song empire and the Mongolian army. The battle ended with the complete annihilation of Song Empire. This also marks the first time a non-Han society laying claim to Chinese land. Therefore, teachings in Japanese and Korean history state that Chinese empire ended after the Battle of Ya San. After the Battle of Ya San, the authentic Chinese culture was taken over by other clansmen and thus an authentic China had ended then.


The alien DNA is the best thing that has ever happened to Ye Shuang because the genetic optimization it offers has made her more beautiful, more formidable, and more brilliant.

But… why doesn't this unknown alien species have a fixed sex before adulthood‽ Alternating between both sexes every few days, why‽ For gender equality‽ Thankfully, she still has a chance to save herself. As long as she can settle down with a partner before full genetic assimilation, she'll be able to carry on with her life as just one specific sex. For the sake of the perfect female body, all the men out there, beware! 

But wait, what are all these women up to? Why are you all looking at me like a piece of meat‽ Halt, stop, don't come any closer… What the hell‽
