No ****. Both the flow and writing style are really good (grammar included), but sometimes I get lost in the plotline since I feel that the development is really fast! One moment Olivia's engaged, then another moment it's cancelled engagement, returns to Country P, then hooks with Max. However, I love how the characters stick to their personalities though I'm still confused between the other character's attitude and my own prejudice about their behavior. For example, Oliver's wife, his father, then Olivia and Max himself. I was thinking that what if Ollie's wife is a white lotus and that she's only using him, how his father is a real b^tch, and why did Olivia still allowed that Go guy to touch her despite knowing he was cheating, why did she hook up with Max so fast (though I read it was part of her plan? no offense I'd definitely thrash the Go guy too but her hook up with Max, a playboy, is too fast imo). Perhaps, since we are only in a few chapters, a lot of character development is still ongoing (looking forward to it) but I really hope author-sama writes more description about their individual characters through the paragraphs so that readers can feel and relate more to their personalities. I'm excited to know Olivia's motivation against Selena (that foreshadowing about how a lost life was because of her). Also, I still don't understand the world she's in, how it works, the power struggle and her background (perhaps it would be introduced in later chapters but reading the chapters now (15+?) is confusing. The little bun is a plus, and the references from PH like 'pangit', and 'ito ang tama' are good spices (shoutout to my kababayans haha). Perhaps I'm just used to reading chinese translations and their writing style that's why I'm not used to this writing style and I tend to overthink the plot (sorry can't help it huhu). I'm looking forward to reading the next chapter. Kudos to you author! 💕

Thank you for your review. ❤️ I apologise for the confusion about the timeline. So the first chapter is in the present timeline followed by 3 flashback chapters and how the plot eases in the present timeline with her homecoming, then how they broke up, how she let Lance touch her so she could "get back" at Selena with Lance cheating at her too. By the fifth chapter, we fast forward six months after her arrival which is now at the present timeline and days after Lance and Selena's engagement (in Chapter 1). I hope this clarified your confusion about the timeline. Characters will be fleshed moving forward now that Olivia and Maxen has met. Thank you for reading and writing this lovely review. Looking forward to seeing you in the future chapters.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet, it's one of my absolute favorites! 1. FL'S CHARACTER. FL is independent, smart and scheming while still oozing with class. She doesn't have the vibe most other scheming FLs in other novels have (one track mind, out to get revenge & revenge only, romance comes second, but in the end saved by ML). No, our Livi darling has a well built background and personality. She's not all about revenge and knows when to back off & live happily with friends/family. 1.5 And let me just mention, no filler characters. All the main characters/friends have solid personalities and world building. It's not like FL+ML+background characters. They feel so real and their interactions are so legit. 2. THE ROMANCE. They have a healthy relationship and she's definitely not a damsel. He follows her like a lil puppy and their interactions are SO CUTE. He loves her. She loves him. She's NOT and unfeeling ice cube and it's NOT one sided love. All the fluff and steamy moments, oof I'm here for it. 3. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!! FL starts off the whole story getting cheated on and doesn't magically recover from trauma. We grow with her. And while you just want things to go perfect, she shows that she's HUMAN. Anyways, ML totally dotes on her and they communicate and it's great. 4. OP COUPLE. I mean, you put the two together & they can practically take over the world. I love how they're independently strong and yet they're even stronger together. FL doesn't rely on ML (and his status). It's so nice having 2 equally strong characters (not like the other novels where the CEO is secretly doing like half the work). Anyways, love this novel. You're really missing out if you don't read it!!

The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Wenyan read a book in which a cannon-fodder character sharing her name was a false heiress. After the true heiress assumed her position, the impostor tried to secure her place in the wealthy family by drugging the eldest son and making a done deal out of a cooked rice, only to be unmasked by the Shen Family and end up committing suicide in despair. Wenyan was furious to see such an ending. How could one not survive without the backing of a wealthy family? Hadn't the family provided her with a luxury house and countless luxury goods? Just selling those off would fetch tens of millions. She was just a hopeless case! If she were the Wenyan in the book, she would have relinquished her position and just lived laid-back like a salted fish! But when she woke up from her sleep, she actually transmigrated into the book. True to her word, she stopped scheming. Overnight she packed her bags, sold her house, car, and bags, and looked for a job. - The entire Shen Family noticed the change in Wenyan, their adopted daughter. Not only had she moved out obediently, but she also never caused any trouble again. Even more bizarre was that they could now see her innermost thoughts! 【Dad, Mom, I never wanted to usurp your nest, but the DNA test results of the true daughter have issues. In fact, she's even more fake than I, the bogus heiress.】 Shen Family parents: ...... Then the long-lost 'daughter' who had been found was exposed as an impostor and taken away by the police for questioning. 【Big brother, that schoolmate of yours is no good, he's a corporate spy, the illegitimate child of the Shen Family's archenemies.】 Shen Family's eldest son: ...... Afterwards, the schoolmate got caught stealing confidential documents and was also taken away by the police for questioning. 【Second brother, you are such a pure and noble person, you mustn't be with the Qin Family's daughter, she's just using you, her heart is actually set on someone else.】 Shen Family's second son: ...... Thank you, I'll look into it. 【And third brother, fourth brother......】 In the end, nobody could have predicted that the Shen Family's most undistinguished adopted daughter would become the pampered daughter-in-law.

It took two harsh, but awakening years for Zhao Lifei to finally understand the mistakes she has made in the past. After her redemption, it was now Zhao Lifei's turn to experience a love grander than the female lead. Smarter, feistier, and wittier, Zhao Lifei knew how to survive the cruel, backstabbing, and harsh upper-class society was. "A cheating fiancé that broke my heart? Screw him, I'll find someone richer!" "All of my friends have abandoned me? Whatever, I'll find better ones!" "My parents disowned me? That's fine, my grandfather is wealthier and more powerful than both of them combined!" To the polar opposite of the snarky Zhao Lifei, was the incredibly wealthy and powerful, yet ruthlessly cold Yang Feng. Yang Feng, the King of the Business Empire, was a man to be feared.

The Villain's Wife

-COMPLETED- WARNING: FL is scheming and evil. Like almost every dramatic romance novel, Lily Qin’s story began with an evil stepmother, a scheming stepsister, and a dumb ex-fiance. At twenty, she fell prey to their grand scheme and became the laughingstock of the country. In despair, she left. Seven years later, Lily Qin rose from the ashes. She was labeled as an empress, an iron lady, a genius, and a prodigy. She was Miss Tycoon. Now, at twenty-seven, Lily Qin was an established businesswoman who was single-handedly controlling her multinational company abroad. She was beautiful, smart, and successful. Women envied her while men couldn’t help but worship her ethereal beauty. With her devastating past, everyone had assumed that Lily would exact revenge on the people who had wronged her. Who would have guessed that behind that beaming smile of hers was a numb heart that aimed only to make more profit? "You got it wrong." Lily elegantly propped her chin on the back of her hand. "I am seeing you today because we have something in common. We're both villains in somebody else's eyes. And I think it's time for us villains to get our own happy ending. Don't you think so?" --- Zhuo Jingren’s love for Lily Qin was something that only he knew. Ever since they were children, he had his eyes on her. Yet, every time he had tried to confess, he would end up fainting from nervousness. So when Lily Qin promised to marry him if he became richer than her, Zhou Jingren did not hesitate to leave the orphanage and work his way up just to become her man. Who would have thought that years later, when he was successful and feared by many, he would come back to an engaged Lily Qin? Then she mistook him for an escort after eating his tofu? Preposterous! The worst thing was, she seemed to have forgotten everything about him. Hadn’t she promised to marry him the moment he became more prominent than her family? Now, after taking advantage of him, she dared to run away? This woman was a liar! He gritted his teeth as he watched her approach him. He was about to say something mean when she suddenly spoke. “Are you my new bodyguard?” She did not even wait for him to answer before tossing her car keys at him. “Drive. Let’s go wreak some havoc.” Thus, the mafia’s big boss became Lily Qin’s bodyguard. --- "So? What do you want as a compensation?" Zhuo Jingren asked her once again before laying down next to her. His elbow was resting on the ground and his palm was supporting his head as he looked at her intently.  The first thing that Lily noticed about Zhuo Jingren when he laid next to her was his exposed tanned chest. This made him look more casual… and hot. She didn't even realize she was staring at the latter. "Why are you staring at me like that?" He smirked at her. "Do you want me to compensate you with my body?" Lily immediately rolled her eyes at the latter. "Who wants your body? Hmp! I want money!" "Your mind is always thinking of money but your body actually betrays you. Am I right to say that I have a shameless wife?" "Hah! I am a strong and independent woman of the 21st century. I know what I want. But if you insist on giving your body, I will take it too!" Lily shamelessly said, taking off her stilettos. However, just when Lily was about to lie down beside Zhuo Jingren, he suddenly pulled her on top of him. With her body on top of his, their faces were really close and they could even feel each other's breath.  "What a shameless woman," he noted, the smile on his face only deepened. .... Cover is mine. There is no RAPE or MAJOR MISUNDERSTANDINGS. WARNING: FL is scheming and evil. Discord: https://discord.gg/Jw2Yjfr Instagram: @blips01 Editor: Swaning, Ocelot

Win My Husband Over to Find My Child

Witty FL x Adorkable ML + a cute bun + a talking crochet fox ---------- After the sudden death of her boyfriend, Leslie Song has been single-handedly raising her precious little daughter Calliope. It’s a difficult life, but it’s a happy one. A freak accident puts an end to that. As Leslie lies dying on the road, watching Calliope breathe her last, she curses her helplessness. Calliope’s crochet fox seems to hear her. It opens its mouth and asks, “Do you want to see your daughter again? If so, follow me. Her soul has already left for another world.” Leslie agrees. That’s the last thing she remembers before losing consciousness. When she opens her eyes again, she finds herself—or rather, her soul—standing beside her unconscious body on a hospital bed. “How is this supposed to help me find Calliope!” she exclaims. “This is not your body. Your body is dead. This is my original host, Charlene Li,” explains the toy fox. “You can possess her body to find Calliope, but if you do, you must finish her uncompleted mission for her.” “And what mission is that?” “To marry the second most eligible CEO in the city.” ‘This,’ Leslie concludes, ‘is a scam.’ But she has no other choice. ********** Meanwhile, the second most eligible bachelor in the city, Calix Xu, is patting himself on the back for thwarting his grandmother’s attempts to marry him off. After exhausting all of his tricks and excuses, he has resorted to marrying the comatose daughter of the Li family. Calix smiles, pleased with himself, "Aren't I smart? Grandmother can do nothing now." But… why is he seeing his newly-wedded wife hovering beside her own body? Before he can react, his wife—the moving one—floats towards him. "Husband! Help me find my child!" “Your child?” Calix asks weakly before doing the only reasonable thing he can do in such a situation. He faints. ---------- WSA 2024 entry!
