Synopsis

Twenty-eight year old Delilah Sterling, has perfected the art of being a respectable realtor by day, and a professional gold digger by night. Delilah believes she has her double life under control. Her meticulously crafted life crumbles when she wakes up one morning with a wedding band on her finger, a marriage certificate on the table, and a sinfully gorgeous man claiming to be her husband. To make matters worse, he is broke and jobless, making her feel trapped in a surreal nightmare. Desperate for escape, Delilah demands a divorce, but the stranger—insisting he wants to stay married—thwarts every attempt. Frustration and confusion mount until Delilah hatches a new plan: she proposes they team up to con her next target, the elusive billionaire, Hunter Quinn. What Delilah doesn't realize is that her "broke husband" is actually Hunter Quinn himself. Billionaire CEO, Hunter Quinn, having discovered Delilah’s intentions to con him, had decided to outplay her at her own game. Hunter agrees to the partnership, and together they plunge into a high-stakes game of deceit. As they plot and scheme, the lines between pretense and reality blur. Their forced proximity ignites an unexpected chemistry, leading to moments of vulnerability and genuine connection neither anticipated. Caught in a whirlwind of deception, passion, and power plays, Delilah grapples with their growing feelings. As their con deepens, she must confront the ultimate question: Can she open her heart to love and trust again? ****Exerpt**** Delilah’s eyes darted to the marriage certificate again, the official seal glaring back at her. Her fingers itched to tear it apart, to make this nightmare disappear. But deep down, she knew that wouldn’t change anything. “I don’t remember,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. “I don’t remember any of it.” Blake nodded as if he had expected this reaction. “That is expected. You had a lot to drink last night.” he fished out a phone from the back pocket of his trousers, opened it. “Here, this is us celebrating, after we got married last night,” he said, showing her a picture. Delilah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the photo. It was indeed her. “How?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t remember any of this.” “It was a wild night,” he said softly. Perhaps she had married Blake because he was wealthy. That would be the only logical reason for her to make such a blunder. There was hope, she thought, as she clung to the possibility of salvaging something from this disaster. Turning to him, she forced a smile, “Is this your house? Are we in your house?” She asked, looking around the bedroom. Blake shook his head, “No. This is a hotel,” he said, and she nodded. “I see. It looks like quite an expensive hotel,” she observed, “What do you do for a living?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she searched his eyes for any hint of affluence. Blake hesitated, his confident demeanor faltering for the first time. He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m... in between jobs,” he stuttered, avoiding her gaze. Delilah’s heart sank, disappointment crashing over her like a wave. “In between jobs?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief. Blake seemed to sense her dismay. “I know it doesn’t sound great,” he said quickly, trying to reassure her. “But I’m working on a few things. I just need a little more time.” “You’re jobless,” she muttered to herself as reality sunk in. “How did you pay for this room? For the wedding bands?” She asked, and he winced. “I didn’t. You did,” he said, and she collapsed on the bed. (PS: Cover photo isn’t mine. Credit to the real owner)

I Only Love You In The Whole Wide World

Four years. That’s how long he took to transform from being a penniless young man to becoming the heir of a mysterious conglomerate. His return was a glorious event! Four years. That was the time she took to fall from being a rich heiress to an insignificant script writer in the entertainment industry. And she could even end up in jail! “Evelyn Sherman, if only you had loved me a little more than money then, you wouldn’t have to beg me now.” The man jeers coldly. Evelyn Sherman smiles cunningly. She pushes a little bun into his arms. The little bun hugs him and even gives him a big kiss, “President, do you want to buy my mommy? She can pretend to be a teenager or act like a queen. She can do both young, refreshing roles and the hard core stuff equally well. She’s a professional genius at giving birth. You can bring her home for US$10 million!” Chester Yale stares at the little face that looks exactly like his in a shock. He clenches his teeth and said, “Deal! I will add on another $10 million to buy you too!” In the next second, a little princess pokes her head out from behind the door, “Daddy, you’ll need another $10 million for me.”

found a new book and instantly fell in love 😍. Just a simple story. The main characters are ordinary people who just lucky to have wealth and meet "magic friends". Not the type of super hero who saves the world. So his actions can be unexpected. Like it. I love surprises. 👏👏👍👍

Has the tyrant's gorgeous beauty turned black?

Du Zhiruo didn't know until he died that he was just a character living in a sadistic book. It was because of Bai Yueguang's early tragic death that the paranoid tyrant couldn't forget. However, she was already dead. What was ridiculous was that someone told her that she had put it on wrongly and had to put it on again. The script that truly belonged to her should be that vile, vile, and vile supporting actress who was greedy for vanity and could not get what she wanted! What the hell was this? She had been arrogant all her life and was not even afraid of death. In the end, she was going to be beaten into dust after being reborn? How could this be! So what if she was a vicious supporting actress? Want her to follow the script? That was impossible, impossible in this lifetime! This time, not only did she want to rewrite her own life, but she also wanted to rewrite the ending of the entire story! * The sadistic female protagonist who hated her the most was her strongest support. The cold-hearted second male lead who despised her the most was her best ally. Even the tyrant who had never looked at her in the eye would become her tool, change his tyrant habits, and become a wise monarch. She was the one and only gorgeous beauty in the book. She could go to the battlefield, take the head of the general among the tens of thousands of troops, and intimidate the barbarians in all directions. She could dominate the world, turn the tide, and turn the rotten into the magical. * Seeing that everything was developing in the direction she had expected, she wanted to retire successfully, but she was once again pestered by the tyrant who had turned over a new leaf. She carried the small bag that was ready to run away and said,"If you come any closer, I'll kill you!" In the end, he straightened his neck and smiled even more sinisterly than she did, thinking,'I've washed myself clean. Kill me!' Don't worry, I won't let you off even if you become a ghost! Don't even think about escaping in this lifetime!
