His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

After a delirious first night together, Shi Guang found herself waking up to a cruel reality… a breakup initiated by him, ending their relationship! What? Why? How? These were the questions that bugged Shi Guang’s mind in the two years after he left without a trace. Just as she thought that she had finally managed to get over him, Lu Yanchen suddenly appeared before her and before she knew it, she had to get married to this man who had dumped her two years ago?! What? Why? How? These were the questions that Shi Guang were faced with after his mysterious appearance once more. Just what are Young Master Lu’s motives? Why is he always watching out for her even though he was the one that had dumped her? And worst still… What’s with that tsundere attitude of his…?! Translator’s Review: This is a really sweet novel about a couple that just annoys one another in the cutest ways. Lu Yanchen is a descendant of a powerful aristocratic military family. Cold, aloof, genius and sharp, this is a man that has it all – status, smarts and looks. But none of that matters when it comes to affairs involving his silly woman as everything melts away into an encompassing warmth. Purple-Red Beauty is someone that spends a lot of time building the settings of her novels. Earlier on, I too was rather annoyed at some of the things that Lu Yanchen did. But once the story gets on track… everything suddenly seemed even sweeter than before! If any of you have heard of the Japanese manga Itazura na Kiss or have caught any of the many Japanese (Mischievous Kiss), Chinese (It Started With A Kiss) and Korean (Playful Kiss) drama reboots made for it, you will definitely love it! :P

He peeled back the corner of this extraordinary world, becoming the largest moth among the thousands that dashed into the flames.

Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

the ninth pass

It was a bizarre world where modern technology and spells coexisted. Humans and demons coexisted. Cultivators ruled everything and looked down on all living beings from above. It seemed to be full of vitality and glory, but in reality, the eight gates had collapsed, the heavens had fallen, and all the immortals had fallen! I, alone with my blade, stood at the ninth stage.

I became Mary Sue's second male lead after the book

Gu Pan woke up and was told that he was dressed as the infatuated second male lead in a Mary Sue novel. From then on, there were two more missions: One: Snatching the male lead's girlfriend. Second, conquer the supervillains of this world. It was to prevent the big boss from destroying the world and implicating her, an innocent book traveler. After a few failed attempts, Gu Pan came to a conclusion-the big boss was a person who would be coaxed but not forced! Therefore, he became the ultimate little fan boy and was determined to serve the big boss comfortably! "Boss, which brand do you want to wear today? Which country's cuisine should I eat? Is the water temperature suitable? Do you need me to help you bathe and change?" Jiang Xun looked at the person in front of him who had already lost his identity but did not know it. He smiled." Alright. We're all 'men' anyway." The fake man looked around. No, we are different. [Cross-dressing, Group Pet, Female Cross-dressing, Villain Big Boss, Tricks and Counter-Tricks, Cross-dressing]
