Synopsis

Lacey Taregan, a wolf-shifter from the Silver Pack, is tired of her family treating her poorly, even though she is a princess and a member of the Royal Family. A warrior in her own right, she longs for acceptance and respect. Julien Grey is the Alpha of the Harvest Moon Pack. Not just any Alpha. Thee Alpha… the most powerful in the world. Having been wronged by his pledge years ago, Julien opts for an arranged marriage, one that will not only strengthen his alliance with the Silver Pack but will also protect his heart. He gave his heart once and doesn’t intend to give it again… ever. But a chance meeting against some rogue wolves could change everything. Will they learn to get along for the good of the pack, or will they lose everything to the rogue Wildclaws, threatening their existence? In a clash of pride and power, can two head-strong shifters let down their guards and open their hearts? Or will their alliance be their downfall? Join Lacey and Julien as they learn that love may be their greatest adventure yet. *** "Please tell me something." Lacy trailed a finger along his cheek, looking into his eyes, giving him her sexiest look. One corner of his lips curled into a breathtaking smile. "And what's that?" "Why do you want me as your mate?" Lacy asked sweetly. He returned her sweet smile. "I don't... yet." He let out a long, slow breath and looked deeply into her eyes. "I want to try out the merchandise first." Then in one swift movement, he threw her over his shoulder and headed toward the stairs. "Oh, no you don't!" Lacey yelled, beating against his back with her fists, which didn't have any effect on him at all. "Put me down!" Everyone laughed and parted the way for Julien. He held her over his shoulder with one arm going up the stairs with Lacey screaming the whole way. "Let go of me, you brute! Let me go!" He stopped halfway up the stairs. "Shut up unless you want me to throw you over." Lacey gasped. "You wouldn't!" "Try me," he said, and Lacey could hear the smile in his voice. "Ugg!" Lacey groaned as he started back up the stairs. "Which way to her room?" Julien asked someone at the top of the stairs. Lynette laughed. "That way." Then she pointed down the hallway. "Oh, no you are not!" Lacey resumed beating against his back. "Oh, yes I will!" Julien yelled, walking purposefully down the hallway as everyone moved aside. Then he kicked open her door, threw her onto the bed, and then closed and locked it.

Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

A great Agatha Christie short story often has a really unexpected twist at the end. For example, in 'The Witness for the Prosecution', just when you think you know who's guilty or innocent, she flips it all around. It's that element of surprise that makes it so good.

Soul Game: I'm the Boss Behind the Scenes

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the old gods rose together. The Ji family used the First Flame to activate the eternal Zhou. The gods born from Pangu's blood were afraid of fire, so they controlled the supreme divine power to send down a flood that drowned everything. The chaos of war began to spread across the land like a plague. The fire of the royal family was the first to be extinguished… The Hundred Schools of Philosophy wandered in the darkness… The distant frontier had fallen into a breeding ground for foreign objects... This game, called Song of Nine, had become a global hit as soon as it was released. Chen Kui accidentally transmigrated into the game and became a witness to all of this. He was surprised to find that not only could he kill the monsters in the game, but he could also harvest the treasure rewards from the players. "Gou planning! Why did I lose my enhanced weapon after dying once?" Are you sure this isn't a plot kill?" "I'm paying a lot of money to fight for you! I've been stuck at this Elite monster for three days!" Chen Kui had become the most terrifying world boss in the eyes of countless players. Many years later, at the TGO annual festival, the designer of Song of Nine, who won the Best Game of the Year award, secretly nudged the planner beside him with his elbow. He looked at the game silhouette on the big screen and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure…? Is this really a character that we personally designed?“
