The Marquis Won’t Let Me Disappear

For twenty years, Shen Zhiwei was nothing more than furniture in her own home. While her step-sister bloomed as the capital’s peerless jewel courted by princes and showered with poetry Zhiwei was deliberately kept in the drafty eastern courtyard. Forgotten. Ignored. Starved of attention. And that was just fine by her. What nobody in the Shen household realized was that Zhiwei possessed a mind like wet plaster and dry stone: every map she ever glimpsed, every military treatise she ever dusted, and every grain-logistics scroll she ever touched remained permanently burned into her mind. Her only ambition was to quietly fulfill an unwanted arranged marriage, collect her dowry, and slip out of the capital alive. Then the arrogant Second Prince ruined everything. Facing a brutal northern rebellion, the Second Prince was hailed as the realm's next great general until his disastrous troop movements stalled at the Wulan River. Dispatched to deliver documents, Zhiwei glanced at his top secret war map and nearly choked. The strategy was an absolute logistical embarrassment. Incensed by sheer, offended intellect, Zhiwei took a leftover stick of charcoal and quietly recalculated his supply lines, corrected his river-thaw dates, and drew a three-point ambush that could turn slaughter into an imperial triumph. She left it on his desk, planning to vanish into the shadows forever. Instead, the imperial court exploded. Now the humiliated Second Prince is hunting the mysterious "military genius" who bruised his royal ego only to realize the woman he despised is the only mind capable of saving his neck. Even worse? The notorious Marquis Pei Yanzheng has cornered her against the courtyard railing. The Marquis is a walking catastrophe: notoriously foul-tempered, scheming, lazy to the bone, and banned from half the teahouses in the capital for starting bar fights. The court fears his vicious scythe; the ladies fear his tongue. Yet as he pins Zhiwei against the stone pillar, his breath trembling against her neck and his ears flushing crimson, he whispers: "For five years, I pretended to lose in front of your courtyard just to catch a glimpse of your sleeves. Now you redraw another man's battle lines? Little ghost, did you forget who you belong to?"

The billionaire and his contract wife

Mr. Edwards Quinn stormed into his office, seething after a heated argument with his father, who had issued an ultimatum: marry within a month, or lose his position as CEO. Known for his carefree lifestyle and reputation as a playboy, Quinn was hardly ready to settle down. However, his career and status were on the line, so he decided to take drastic measures—even if that meant faking a marriage. After being turned down by several of his ex-girlfriends, Quinn turned to his last option: his assistant, Annabelle. She had been loyal, professional, and entirely unassuming—a perfect candidate to act as his “wife.” Without giving her a chance to process, he summoned her and threw a document across his desk, demanding she sign it. What he didn’t realize was that Annabelle had a hidden life and a past he knew nothing about. Annabelle picked up the contract and saw the bold title: Marriage Contract. Shocked and confused, she looked up at her boss. She had secretly harbored feelings for Quinn but had never expected something like this. She hesitated, yet couldn’t ignore the opportunity to be close to him, even if it was under false pretenses. Taking a deep breath, she signed the document, setting her sights on making him fall for her during their time together. Little did she know she was stepping into a dangerous game with a man known for his cold heart and disregard for others’ feelings. Can Annabelle’s warmth melt Quinn’s icy exterior? Will her secret identity unravel as she navigates this web of deception? And what will happen when the line between pretense and reality begins to blur? Dive into this thrilling story to find out!
