UPDATED AUTHOR'S REVIEW: This is a short (18+) enemies-to-lovers romance novel with an EROTICA subplot after chapter 70. There is tens*on between the two business rivals, Shi Yen and Yuan Shun, who can't tell if they loathe or desire each other in every encounter they meet. Shi Yen harbours a dark secret that can threaten those she cares about, and Yuan Shun has the power to help or ruin her. Shi Yen is a hard-hearted, cunning, and fearsome woman who doesn't let anything rattle her—except for Yuan Shun, who seems to creep into her heart. Yuan Shun, on the other hand, is a family man who strives to protect those he cares about, even if he takes harsh and unforgiving measures to do anything for them. But when Shi Yen and Yuan Shun collide, they realize they have more in common than they thought. They begin to understand each other more than they did before, learning that neither of them is cruel and wicked; they are both beautiful and wicked. Meanwhile, Shi Yen's sister, Shi Ailin, is an innocent, naive, and clueless woman who learns that to survive the cruel world she is thrust in, she must harden her heart. She then finds herself entangled with the Luo brothers, Luo Tian and Luo Wanting. Luo Tian is her ex-boyfriend who dumped her without giving her any reason or closure. Years later, she meets him again along with his older brother, Luo Wanting, a dangerously cunning man she was warned to stay away from, who offers her help to find the truth behind her parent's demise. Who will she choose? DISCLAIMER: My novel is for ADULTS (18+) only due to DETAILED smut/sex scenes and coarse language.

One of the best books here on WN!!! It's the complete package...story wise,plot wise,romance, action,a bit of comedy,plot twists,with very strong characters..this novel has got all of that!Even the slow build up of the relationships is interesting and very satisfying (when it happens😉😏🤭😊😍💕♥️)When you think you got it all right,the author gives you the unexpected and that intensifies the story more.😎👍When the author promised you answers,she never disappoints and deliver.😊👍When you read TheRedQueen's story,expect that it's not dragging ,not hurried, and very well thought of.This precious and satisfying book deserves to be read and loved.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

M.A.S.T.E.R.P.I.E.C.E I would love to rate 100 stars. Sadly, five stars was the limit. The novel was written by TheRedQueen, that only fact was meant that the story's superb and well written. I hope this novel will goes premium soon 💕

This book is so hot and steamy but that does not take away from the story at all. The characters and plot are actually somewhat plausible (in the given scenario) and all seem very human with pros and cons. Decisions that are made actually make sense and are explained so you're never wondering why they would do something so stupid or thoughtless like in some other novels with jerks for MLs and weak FLs. TheRedQueen is a wonderful author and her books always satisfy.

Another full marks review M.A.S.T.E.R.P.I.E.C.E for the second part of this book (c106). Looking at how masterpiece the second part synopsis seems like, it's like I read another brand new book from the dearest TheRedQueen. It would be great if I can see my best couple to get pregnant in the process, rather than wait until the very end of the story. The fluffy story about parenting seems good to me. The second part of this book is about the the FL's pressumed (oopss almost spoiler!) The Author is truly good at improvisation! Full of suprises! The second part of this book is actually born because of Author & Readers wild imagination. Especially the readers who refuse and defy the Heaven (opps I mean the original story plot). Anyway, no need to think twice about spending coin in this book! This book is masterpiece ❤️

Like all the books this dear author has written, and which I have devoured, 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈, this is simply a beautiful work of art. Really... Very well written, with caracter development and, 😉 room for the imagination to wonder in the lovely love sceens 😉. So give it a try. 😘

I’m a fan of this author she’s done it again with this novel 🤓😊😊. Intertwine of other novels make it intriguing and the suspense is jarring.

Story development has been great so far..the anticipation and guessing keeps me at the edge every time..can’t wait for more..the interaction between the characters are amazing and rivalry is expected from a great novel

I am late..... to find such a fine novel of yours. When I start reading it I find that it is so interesting and then I realise that it's already midnight here.... Still want to continue to read though.... Thank you!!
