== first impressions as of 40 chapters == A military doctor wakes up to the body of Lu Jiao, fat woman who's married to a now crippled scholar of the Xie family and mother to four sons. She realizes that she's transmigrated into a novel character who mistreats her sons. It turns out the four sons and her husband, Xie Yunjiao, turns to be the villains of the story. They will come to kill Lu Jiao and to prevent her death, she decides to treat them well. However, before she can leave her husband and four kids, she promises to cure Xie Yunjiao and use the time to make them hate her less (so they won't kill her in the future) and create good relations with the villagers to benefit her family in the long run. Also, because she isn't the real Lu Jiao, she has no motive to treat them badly. Everyone in the village notices Lu Jiao acts different now, and Xie Yunjiao comes to conclusion that she isn't the real Lu Jiao. And now that Lu Jiao isn't abusing her sons, but showering them with food, the kids are slowly opening up to her. This one actually surprised me at how easy it was to dive into the story. The storytelling is slow and steady but it makes sense. The transmigrated Lu Jiao doesn't just come into their lives and make everyone change their opinion of her in a snap. Xie Yunjiao still dislikes Lu Jiao's face even if he knows the person occupying Lu Jiao isn't the real Lu Jiao. The fourth son finally called her "mom" with lots of affection within the last couple of chapters. The second and third son is warming up to calling her mom, while the first son is like their father who tries to be indifferent. One thing special aspect of Lu Jiao is her personal space that she can store things in and have special herbs and medicine. Apart from that, Lu Jiao uses her own wits and skills to do menial things like cook and gather food for her family. Then slowly building good relations to those that treat her well. I'm assuming we're going to see more cute interactions with the four kids and in time, Xie Yunjiao will be able to fall in love with her. Though this doesn't a romance tag, I think it'll be fun to read despite that. Because though it's plot driven, the characters have an underlying motive.

Hellbound Heart

[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT] - Izabelle had underestimated the fire she thought she was going to play with tonight. But how could she ever have foreseen that the man she had happened to come across with does not play with just a small fire, but a whole inferno? ___ Excerpt: "You going through this marriage with me might as well be like you digging your own grave. Because the moment you start to want more from me, I will divorce you. And the moment you break your promise and try to fight me… I will ruin you and break you apart completely. Mercilessly. You will regret ever meeting this devil tonight." His threat was given in the same soft but cold voice. But Elle did not even flinch. Her gaze never faltered either. This man was ruthless, and she knew that clearly. His eyes that moment promised nightmares and darkness without any promise of respite. But no matter what he says now, it would still not change her decision. She truly had no other choice. "I understand now…" she said quietly, steeling herself. "Since you don't trust that I will keep my word, how about we do this? You prepare the divorce documents beforehand now and I'll sign it. That way, once you decide to divorce me in the future, the papers would already have been signed and there would be no way I can trouble you about it. You would just need to send it to the lawyers and have it notarized." A heavy silence reigned before his quiet disbelieving laugh broke the silence. "I'm at a loss for words, Princess Izabelle." He looked wickedly amused. But then he started nodding in approval. "Fine, princess. I will marry you." ___ Instagram account: kazzenlx.x facebook page: author_kazzenlx Discord server: https://discord.gg/UGTA3A4 Cover is mine so don't use it.

Young master Damien's pet

"Who touched you?" he asked, his eyes brooding down at her and when she didn't answer, his voice thundered in the room, "WHO?" The butler who stood near the wall spoke shakily, "Sir, it was Mr. Reverale," Damien's face turned sour, his jaw ticking in anger he turned his face to the side where the butler stood behind. "Bring the man here." "N-now?" stuttered the butler. It was the time of night. Damien who hadn't broken his eye contact with the girl in front of him, pushed his hand against the wall which now rested beside his beautiful girl's head. Turning his body, he first looked at his butler who had his head bowed. With great courage, the butler came to meet his Master's eyes, "Do you have any other better time? Or should it be after I wring your neck?" Damien asked calmly tilting his head. Not a second later, the butler ran out of the room to return back with Mr. Reverale after twenty minutes. "Damien, are we having a late tea party?" Mr. Reverale came to greet but the master of the house had other plans. Spotting the knife that was stuck to the apple on the table, he reached for it to pull it out. Just as Mr. Reverale went to exchange a handshake with him, Damien took hold of his hand to place it on the table. In one swift movement as if he were chopping onions, he chopped the four fingers of the man off his hand making him yelp and cry in pain. "No one touches what is mine. I am sure this will remind you the next time you even think about touching her," sighed Damien as if he were tired of telling people to keep their dirty hands off his belongings. Meet Damien Quinn, a pureblooded vampire who is a complete narcissist, brash with his words and stingy even though he is rich who haggled when he bought a slave from the black market. On the other hand, meet Penelope who believes she is a 'guest' for a few days at the Quinn as she is intent on escaping from the odd vampire who needs therapy. ~ Discord: https://discord.gg/K63uVqN
