Characteristics of good noir fantasy novels include a sense of fatalism. The characters may feel as if they are at the mercy of larger forces. In 'The Black Company' by Glen Cook, the mercenaries are often caught up in events beyond their control. There is also a prevalence of shadowy elements, both in the setting and the characters. The city in 'The City Stained Red' by Sam Sykes is full of dark alleys and hidden secrets. Plus, these novels often have a non - traditional view of heroism, where the so - called heroes may not be as noble as expected.

[Sweet Pet + Book Travel + Entertainment Circle + Mind Reading] Jiang Qingyao accidentally transmigrated to a certain overbearing CEO novel and became the male protagonist's contracted wife. As a little money-grubber who loved money more than her life, Jiang Qingyao agreed for the sake of money.

Unexpectedly, he had the ability to read minds and saw that the overbearing and cold CEO in front of others was actually a chatterbox. [Aiya, if this woman acts coquettishly to me, it's not like I can't accompany her for dinner!] [Tsk, tsk, tsk. This woman really likes me, right? Otherwise, why would she keep staring at me?] [This necklace is pretty good. It's a couple's necklace. Why don't you buy one for that woman?] …… Gu Texian had thought that he had just found himself a contractual wife, and when the time was up, the two of them could go their separate ways. Who would have thought that they would gradually be attracted to each other, gradually develop feelings for each other, and slowly fall for each other. "Yaoyao, I bought too many rings. You can play with them." Gu Qinxian said as he handed the ring to Jiang Qingyao, but he was actually very nervous. " Yaoyao, other madams knit scarves for their husbands…" Gu Qinxian hesitated and looked at Jiang Qingyao nervously. "Yaoyao, a certain channel recently released a pretty good variety show. The viewership ratings are pretty good…" Gu Qinxian's expression was calm, but the thoughts in his heart were deafening.
