Money, power, and influence, Zoey Zhou had it all… or does she?
Zoey Zhou, a 28-year-old self-established businesswoman whose only talent was to earn money and to earn even more. As a woman whose years were spent chasing those money signs, Zoey had nearly forgotten that her exciting prime years were nearing its end.
The reason she had gone in search of her companion for life. However, how could a 28-year-old desperate woman find her soulmate if the greatest hurdle was Zoey, herself?
Was it because of her standards? Heck, no! She has no standard at all! Then why, you ask?
Well, it was because of one simple reason: Zoey was particularly attracted to men who were not interested in her! And to make things worse? She loses interest once they had reciprocated the feelings!
What would happen if the desperate and narcissist drama queen Zoey becomes the heroine of the mysterious and the weirdest man on earth?
Will spring come forth? Or, just another disaster will ensue?
***
EXCERPT:
"Are you sure you're not crazy?" Zoey Zhou narrowed her eyes as she leaned closer to his imperious mien.
"Hmm?"
“I mean, how can you not like the pretty me? Say, should we kiss and see if it will ignite some spark?” The corner of her lips curled into a grin while her brows moved up and down suggestively.
Slowly, the man raised his eyes to meet her playful countenance across the table. Blinking once, his eyes traveled from her eyes down to her lips. He stared for a moment at her red, provocative lips before he opened his mouth.
“Kissing you,” he said, raising his finger to point at her lips, “means your lipstick will smear on mine. I'm afraid I must refuse.”
“Lame.” Zoey Zhou scoffed as she drew away from the table. “I knew it. He’s gay, tsk.” Zoey Zhou murmured. Alas, right after she blurted out her last remarks, her wrist was grabbed by his huge hands and without missing a beat, the man pulled her back to his embrace.
“I heard that. Do you want to confirm the validity of your claim?” His voice was deep and yet so alluring. He leaned his head closer to hers, his musky smell emanating sexiness as a glint flashed across his pair of playful eyes.

If it was just a simple transmigration, then why would she actually go back to the 21st century? That was hundreds of years ago?
It was okay to live in such an ancient time, but what was going on with the useless body that she had possessed?
Yu Xi was now just a good-for-nothing trainee who had no status or connection because the previous owner of the body had already offended everyone!

Fate is a funny thing.
A random stranger Chen Yi kissed to piss off her ex turned out to be the CEO of the Li Corporations?
Chen Yi, the girl with impeccable beauty that could trample the heavens and devastate earth-eyes like dark shimmering brown gemstones, hair like a cascade of chocolate brown color. Skin pale like snow. Features delicate and flawless like a porcelain doll.
Abandoned and wronged by her family, cheated by her ex, betrayed by her cousin...
Sounds usual, doesn't it?
But things take an exciting turn when a certain CEO appears a at her doorstep with a contract in his hands.
"It's your choice. Either pay for the losses caused by you or sign this contract and become my wife."
One kiss and she was bound with the formidable CEO for her life.
-Sneak peek into a chapter-
"Mr. Li, could you exclude the term of the conjugal relationship between the married couple?"
Li Luxian was momentarily surprised to hear that. Then the mischievous smile returned to his lips.
"May I ask why? Could it be you don't find my body attractive enough?"
Chen Yi was speechless.
Of course, he was attractive. He was simply a god for his looks. Did he even need to ask that? But he couldn't expect her to sleep with him right after the marriage. They needed to familiarize themselves with each other first.
That was a common-sense everyone with a relationship experience would know! Unless this impossible man had never been in a relationship before. Chen Yi looked at him. Could it be really so?
Just what in seven hells Chen Yi was getting her into! Oh well, it's not like she had a choice.
"It's not about that..." Chen Yi coughed. She didn't know what to say to this man. To moisten her dry throat she picked up a glass of water and chucked it down.
"Not that? Could it be that you are worried that I wouldn't be able to pleasure you well enough?" With a raised eyebrow Li Luxian asked.
Chen Yi spit out everything in her mouth. He did not just say that!
"And if you are still worried then we could always try out something so that you could confirm beforehand that I am good enough" Li Luxian rose up from the chair.
Chen Yi almost fell out of her chair.
This was not happening!
At least take your secretary in consideration who is still standing here!!!
"Mr. Li I'll take my leave then." Secretary Zhang bowed with a stiff face and proceeded to leave her alone with his boss to give his boss some privacy to certify his skills.

“Look at me,” he commanded, his eyes boring into her like black pits of venom. Lilith’s chest tightened as she stared at the floor and the room seemed to shrink around her.
“Dinner with the devil is one thing. Staring at the embodiment of evil itself…quite another.” Dracula’s smirk widened, his fingers squeezing Lilith’s chin.
“Oh, and do I frighten you, little one?” His eyes burned into her, piercing her soul like daggers “You see now the truth of my power. You thought you could challenge me, toying with my affections as though I were some lovesick puppy.”
Lilith sighed, because despite the darkness that swirled around her, she found herself unafraid of Dracula.
“Now, look at me, and speak what you have beneath your heart,” he commanded.
Lilith’s chin lifted with a surge of defiance. "Dracula Beelzebub. You are nothing but a monstrous abomination." she hissed, her voice dripping with disdain. "A fiend of the lowest caliber, unworthy of even a moment of my time."
Dracula raised an eyebrow as he smirked, impressed by her insults. "And yet, you cannot deny that I am the most powerful being in this room."
Lilith sneered. "Yo… You deserves to be banished back to the bowels of Hell."
Dracula smiled, his teeth white in the flickering candlelight. "Ah, but where’s the fun in that? I much prefer making life interesting for the mortals."
Lilith's hands curled into fists at her sides, and she took a step forward.
“Interesting?" she spat. "You call torment and misery ‘interesting’? You are a demon, feeding off the misery and pain of others."
Dracula chuckled, spreading his arms wide in a gesture of mock surrender. "And what of it? What do you intend to do about it, little mortal?"
~~~~~
Meet Lilith Raziel, a young, beautiful orphan who was born blind. However, when a mysterious creature appears in the woods, Lilith’s life is turned upside down.
Her world shifts from darkness to one filled with mystical creatures and the secrets of the underworld.
On the other hand, lurking in the shadows, lies Dracula Beelzebub, a devilishly handsome man who relishes in the misery and demise of others.
Beneath his charming façade lies a dangerous secret—Dracula Beelzebub is the devil incarnate. And he has set his sights on Lilith Raziel, a woman he’s determined to ensnare in his diabolical plans.

Cheng Weiyue first met Zhao Hanchen at her father's retirement banquet.
Her father, intoxicated, clapped the man's shoulder and called her by her nickname, "Ningning, this is Daddy’s most proud student."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hanchen chuckled lightly, his narrow eyes carefree and easygoing, causing the heart of the eighteen-year-old girl to flutter as she looked down.
Latter on, in a bustling market, the man praised by all choked a gorgeous woman in a dim corner, feeding her a puff of smoke from his mouth. He glanced sideways at her, speaking slowly and with a smile, "Ningning?"
The heart flutter was inevitable.
But the prodigal son did not return, and the breakup was not pretty.
On the day of the breakup, Beijing University’s beauty Cheng Weiyue, in front of all onlookers, slapped young master Zhao twice, while the latter turned his face away and did not move for a long while.
Nobody knew that in the low-profile business car, Zhou Family’s most upright and mannerly Family Head, the legendary Zhou Jingwei from the legal world, gripped the young girl’s delicate chin and kissed her fiercely.
After a while, he brushed away the tears at the corner of her eyes with his fingertip, his dignified and cultured face gentle as he spoke, "Have you had your fun?"
...
Cheng Weiyue had seen Zhou Jingwei at his most tender.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year with heavy snow, at Ling'an Temple in Jingcheng amidst the feathery snow-covered world, teeming with people and swirling with incense smoke, she went to seek a Marriage Charm for herself and Zhao Hanchen.
Until Zhou Jingwei walked against the crowd towards her, stuffing the Marriage Charm into her hand, "What you wish for may not always be granted."
He paused, then added, "Ningning, when you’re done playing, come back."
The Buddha says that turning back is the shore, and on that day Cheng Weiyue looked back again and again only to see Zhou Jingwei standing behind her, amidst the vast crowd, his gaze firmly on her.
The Buddha truly never spoke deceptively.
Now that Selena Yard had accidentally fallen pregnant with triplets with their father being an unknown man, she was even betrayed by a scumbag and kicked out by her family. After all that she had experienced, she made a glamorous comeback with cute babies in tow and swore that she would fight to get back what she had once lost. She might have been a domineering president, but something unexpected suddenly happened. "Mommy, we want him as our father!" "Daddy, we'll help you to woo our rich mommy!" The triplets even went to extreme lengths to match-make her with the man of their dreams!
The devil doesn't come dressed in a red cape and pointy horns. He comes as everything you've ever wished for.
Callum Facci hasn't always had it easy, but that's never stopped him from working hard for the life he wants. From the bastard son of a traitor to the candidate for the next prime minister, he had come a long way.
Just as he thought he would be the youngest prime minister of the country after winning the coming election in two months, a piece of news leaked out.
Apparently, the current Prime minister of the country was found dead with his balls crushed beyond recognition in his residence.
Callum's wish of becoming the next prime minister was soon replaced by another dire wish; to catch the murder of PM Joseph -- Duchess of Orin, Calliope Wilding.
Calliope Wilding, the rumoured cursed daughter of Late Duke of Orin didn't need an introduction. At birth, she lost her mother. At eighteen she was married off to a wealthy older man by her titled father. At nineteen, she lost her father. And at twenty, she lost her husband.
As if she couldn't be more cursed, Calliope Wilding is on run for more than a year now.
Her only wish-- to get her knight in shining armour.
Her wish came true.
Her knight appears not in shining armour but a black suit.
Then again, the devil also comes as everything you've ever wished for. And Callum Facci, the man with the face of an angel and demeanour that of a saint, is nothing but a devil appeared as a knight had come to drag her back to the fiery pits of hell.
But who had ever left unscathed from the sweet and sinful seduction of the devil? Especially the one with the face of an angel and the body of a knight?
......
Synopsis---2
Callum Facci's life motto used to become powerful, a little bit more powerful and all more powerful.
Then he, he met a beautiful and young painter (His greatest rival in disguise)
His life motto was quickly changed to:
Making Calliope Wilding his wife!
…
Callum Facci: Would you like to go out with me?
Calliope Wilding: What for?
Callum Facci: For coffee or a meal?

A tragedy struck the Wenceslas family 22 years ago. A noble family no one would fail to recognize throughout the country. They owned wealth that would not run out to be inherited through generations.
To save the next heir, the oldest nobleman of Wenceslas set a strategy for years. He prepared a wife for his grandson. The only heir who suffered from a strange disease.
By promising him abundant wealth, Lesmana, the very loyal aide, was given the most non-sense and fist-tight agreement to marry off one of his daughters to the heir. The purpose was for a guinea pig and an experiment in seeking the cure of their last heir. The experiment had to be a success nor the family would be left without any descendants at all.
“Hendra, stop it! You hurt my lips!”. The man with blue eyes looked drowned, puzzled. His mind seemed wandering.
“Don't come close...! Aruna was trying to grab anything she could reach. She grasped goose feathers scattered on the white sheet and threw them to that devil with an angelic face who was moving slowly to her.
“Hendra, you are scary!”
“Yiu scare me!”
“Hendra!!”
“argh, let me go!”
He had turned into a blue-eyed devil, staring at her and pushing her body.
That girl fell on that super king-sized bed on her face, the bed looked so spacious with white sheets and goose feathers here and there.
While he was closing his satanic eyes, he was begging for something ...
Could Aruna’s wish to become a widow and return to her house happened over time, or would her heart melt for the CEO?
Enjoy the story of Aruna, CEO Hendra, and Solois Damar in 'Stealing The Wife's First Kiss'
