Here I am reading another one of this author's novels, and yep, I'm absolutely loving this. The synopsis gives the basic premise, but there's a whole lot that happens from there, and well executed this 'lot' is. As you'd expect from what's described in the premise, this arranged marriage isn't gonna be smooth sailing, from the romance (of course) to like everything threatening them. In particular, I found the pacing to be exceptional with all this, as well as the fantastic character development. Up to chapter 157 as of this review. Guess I'll be binging the other works sooner or later.

And now I've reached the end of this novel. With that, I got good and bad things to comment on. Gonna start with the bad: the ending felt rushed, very rushed, both in plot and having unfinished/unsatisfying character developments. To an extent, I'd include some of the last arc with that too (leading to me personally not getting over a certain event that occurred, only to find out the novel's ending in like 15 chapters). It's a shame the bonus chapters never got fully fleshed out as well. I know that's a bunch of negatives I just said, but besides all that, the rest of what I got to say is akin to what I said in my original review. Among what I've read from this author so far (everything besides Moonlight Demon, Ven Chronicles, and excluding the new Succubus- uhh Nim- uhh Succubus novel), this one is my favorite in its story, its characters, and its romance. Whether its aspects are better than the other stories, I'd say is subjective, though at least I'd say the romance certainly is. Really good developments throughout (mostly), and despite my earlier comments, this is overall a really solid novel, kudos to you author. As of now, I'd give 4.75 stars, which I may or may not change in the future. Who knows, I might reread or change my standards one day (my reading list will reflect changes if so)

Billionaire Mafia's Manny

The footsteps sounded closer, and closer, and closer, until he faintly heard Siri's voice welcoming someone into the house, but before he could open his eyes to see who it was, he felt a large hand gripping his neck, his legs were locked tightly between much larger ones, and, he felt the cold metal of a gun placed directly on his...gun. Zeno quickly opened his eyes from instincts, ready to fight off his attacker, but the moment he did so, he was met with mesmerizing dark grey orbs, staring dangerously at him. The face of his attacker was too close, he couldn't make out his features, but he knew they were sharp, even from a closed look. He didn't bother fighting, he didn't want to lose his junior member down there, and his Nana still expected grandchildren from him. He couldn't disappoint her. "Who. Are. You?" The voice of his attacker was so deep, dark, and commanding. Zeno was a fighter, but he felt a chill run down his spine from the sound of the voice. The hand around Zeno's neck tightened, but he endured it, he was a fighter. Judging by his attacker's looks and actions of confidence, this was his boss. ~~~ After losing his parents and being faced with an unbelievable medical bill, Zeno Evander finds himself working as a Manny for a mysterious Billionaire, but it doesn't last long; after almost being killed by the Mafia billionaire, Zeno swore never to return to that place again. But after a week of escaping the Mafia billionaire, Zeno finds himself kidnapped and Blackmailed into signing a year's contract as the Mafia's Manny and bodyguard. Could Zeno escape his evil and monstrous boss? Or would he be consumed by him? Consumed by the forbidden passion he felt build up between them? Would he risk his life just to experience the burn of forbidden love? After the betrayal from his family, ex-wife, and friend five years ago, Sebastian Orion became a totally different being. He became cold, aloof, and dangerous as he rose to become the most feared Mafia king of the underworld, and everyone who heard his name shivered from fear. He distrusted everyone and hated any form of human relationships, building a thick wall around himself. But, not until his son's manny came into the picture. Zeno irritated him in every way, he hated the mere sight of his bodyguard and would have chosen to kill him if not for the sake of his son. Sebastian always tried to push Zeno away by treating him in the lowest way possible. But when the contract was coming to an end, were his feelings still the same? Or did he suddenly realize that it wasn't only his son that needed Zeno? ~~~ "What are you waiting for? Leave!" Sebastian snarled bitterly. He would have to speak with Butler Nicole to find out why he brought back this stupid clown to his house. He had just returned from yet another trip, just to find this nuisance in his house again. He hated Zeno so much; he was classless and looked extremely dangerous to be near his son; who knew if he was sent as a snitch by an enemy? "I'm sorry, boss, but I can't," Zeno said and stood his ground. Leaving would mean he wanted his Nana to die; no, he'd rather stay here and take all punches that came his way; he was used to it. "What?!" Sebastian couldn't believe that such stupid people were still existing in the world. "I can't leave," Zeno repeated.

He smiled darkly, "I want to put them in hell and watch with a smile as they burn." "Let me stand by you; I can ensure they pay for everything. Just say the word." Han Yichen leaned in closer, their eyes locked with certainty. "You want to support me?" Feng Mei Hiu asked, surprised. "With all I've done, how could you possibly see me as anything but a monster?" "Monster?" Han Yichen embraced him tightly. "You’re not a monster; you’re my guiding star, my hope, my rescue, my angel. You lifted me from the darkness that nearly swallowed me, and now I, too, must return that gift." "I want them dead, Yichen; I want to watch them suffer and burn."
