Synopsis

"--Very well." He exhaled sharply, loosening his shirt and tie with a prompt tug. "Since you don't believe me." He slid his uniform's necktie and slipped off his suit jacket. Her eyes went wide. "What are you doing?!" "Undressing. Is that not apparent?" He started unbuttoning his undershirt. ******* A 21st century Jane Austen-inspired and Taming of the Shrew hybrid historical fiction love affair with snowballing romance, thrilling mystery and intrigue, dashed with a spice of the supernatural.

"My lady?" He softly called, requesting her attention. 

Unrelentless in her tug of war, she briefly glanced at him once, and then twice. There was something in his hands that on second inspection, captured her attention.

"Thirsty?" There was a tea cup in his hand. 

She stopped struggling, and grimaced. 

"This will feel cool as it dries on your skin." He raised the cup. "Believe me, I'm speaking from experience." He overturned the cup, tea raining down on her dress and showered her face. 

Quietly, she whipped away tea from her eyes. 

Taking ahold of another cup from the cart, he bent down to her level, foot rooted strategically on the dress. "How silly of me. If you're thirsty you should have the opportunity to drink, right?"

"I promise you." She glared, speaking through clenched teeth. "You are going to regret this." 

His smile was cordial. "Will I, or will you?"

The Lucky Farm Girl

After dying unexpectedly, she was reborn as a ten-year-old little girl in an ancient farming family, with barely a few rooms in her house and even fewer acres of land, not to mention a household of the old, weak, sick, and disabled. Fortunately, the elders in the family were kind and honest, her brothers loving and good-natured, and the neighbors harmonious and friendly. For Yang Mengchen, who had suffered from her relatives' torment and endured all sorts of mockery and scolding since she was young, this was truly a blessing from heaven. To support the family she loved, she resolutely took on the heavy responsibility of providing for them. If she, a modern corporate CEO who had once dominated the business world, couldn't feed a family, then who could? Pharmaceutical recipes, building greenhouses, opening storefronts... Not only did her family start living a comfortable and prosperous life, but she also led the surrounding villages in creating a magnificent pastoral scene! With money and fame, as she grew up, Yang Mengchen decided it was time to choose a husband, and thus, young talents from around the world began to flock to her. Who knew a grim-faced god of death would be blocking the entrance to the Yang family's home? "You're too tall, you're too short, you're too fat, you're too skinny, you're too dark, you're too pale, you're uneducated, you're deceitful and sly... All eliminated!" In a moment, the entrance was empty, and Yang Mengchen was instantly furious, "Prince, you've driven everyone away. How am I supposed to choose a husband now?" "I would like to see who dares to marry you. I wouldn't mind sending him to the Underworld as a groom!" Yang Mengchen... A certain Prince counted his merits on his fingers: "I have power, prestige, and substance, no concubines, no secret love affairs, no gallivanting— I embody the standards of a husband's three obediences and four virtues... In short, only I, this unparalleled good man, am worthy of you!" The guards: Oh wise and valiant Prince, is it really good to be so lacking in your role as a husband?

Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Ye Muyu, an elite of a modern company, got married and had children directly after transmigrating. She became a talented scholar and the mother of two children, and she also found out that she had a husband who hated her very much. Not only that but there was also a reincarnated female supporting character, Tang Rou, who coveted her position. "Your position is mine, and I will be his rightful wife," Tang Rou uttered. Ye Muyu looked at the man in front of her who had a solemn expression on his face. She nodded calmly. "Sure." The man instantly became defensive. "You're my wife. Don't even think about leaving me behind. Other people will have to get lost." Her son wrapped his arms around her thigh. "Go away. My mother is a good person. If you bully her, I'll bite you to death." Her daughter grabbed her arm. "You're a bad person. My mother is the best in the world. If you say anything bad about her, I'll report you to the police." Tang Rou looked at the Ye family, who all seemed happy and content, and she secretly clenched her jaws. "This shouldn't have happened. Everything's changed!"

The Princess and Her Rough-Rider Khan

Petite Princess VS Rough Khan On their wedding day, Yelu Yan told Li Xianyun that apart from affection, he could provide her with endless wealth and honor. After the marriage, he indeed kept his promise, cherishing her in the palm of his hand. Little did he know, the more he cherished her, the deeper she burrowed into his heart, right to the very top. Not long after the political marriage with the Khitans, Li Xianyun gradually noticed earth-shattering changes around her: Initially, the commoners who disliked her began to worship her as a deity... The court officials accusing her of bewitching their lord were now pleading with her to consummate the marriage with the Khan... The most perplexing of all was her husband in name; wasn’t he the one who said he wouldn't give her emotional affection? Why was he always following her around? Little theater scene 1: One day, Yelu Yan cornered Li Xianyun against the wall. “Why are you avoiding this Khan?” “They say you might have taken a liking to your servant.” “Remove ‘might’, isn’t it obvious enough from how this Khan acts?” “But you said you wouldn’t give your servant emotional affection.” Yelu Yan held his forehead; he had indeed said too many foolish things. “The Han people always say that one should start a family and then establish a career; clearly, the two are not in conflict.” Little theater scene 2: The sun had risen high, yet Yelu Yan was still clinging to Li Xianyun. “Get up quickly, I have to leave. There are patients on the street waiting for my consultation, the good fields to the west need irrigation, the homestead plots in the east need measuring, and I have to oversee the silk reeling and dyeing... Uh...” “Your husband is a patient, don’t you care for him?” Li Xianyun looked at the man tough enough to rival ten bulls and was utterly speechless.

She could not see her family die at the hands of Han Sheng Li so agreed with the marriage alliance which was put forward by the Emperor of Han. ~~~~ “I heard you are the kindest woman in the entire Han Kingdom but, it seems opposite to me. You want me to die!!” The Crown Prince astonishingly said, keeping his icy gaze intact on the woman on his bed. “Cruel people are not worthy of anyone’s kindness,” the Crown princess pronounced sternly. The crown prince chuckled. “Kindest is the one who whimpers in pain. Are you ready for undergoing that pain with this cruel man?” Crown prince asked, slightly tilting his head, and a smirk formed on his lips. Leaning closer to Ying Lili's ear, Sheng Li whispered, "Never expect love from this evil and cruel man. Feed this in your mind- 'You will never warm my bed.' Remember this memorable wedding night, my dear Crown Princess." ~~~~~~ Thanks to "LydiaF" for proofreading the chapters for me. Thanks to My CE for this amazing Title suggestion.

Unlimited estates for rural beauty

Feng Xuxu, a 21st-century professor of agriculture and biology, was in secret the mastermind behind a five-star hotel. Running back and forth between the university and the hotel, it's no wonder she worked herself sick. One moment she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she found herself in the body of a poor village girl who had just lost her mother and then her father. Fortunately, time-travel came with a perk, the almighty space ability. After toying with some seeds, she grew thousands of acres of high-yield grains and spent her leisure time cultivating flowers. Before she knew it, she had created a landscape of thousands of acres of flowers. Munching on fruit, she ended up with thousands of acres of orchards. When she craved some greens in the wintertime, she turned around to discover greenhouses covering thousands of acres. Feng Xuxu counted on her fingers: Spring Garden, Summer Garden, Autumn Garden, Winter Garden—not one more, not one less, four in total. She nodded in satisfaction and said, “This is all one needs in life.” Meanwhile, a certain devilishly charming man approached her with a sly smile, “Little Xuxu, how do you plan to deal with me?” Feng Xuxu was in disarray amidst the wind, realizing she had forgotten about one demon yet to be tamed. In this story, both male and female leads are strong, with the male lead being physically and mentally pure and devoted.

Before I properly start the review I will say the following, while reading this I got some flash backs to Black Butler, one of the many anime I watched when I was starting to become a Otaku, and is one of the stories that I still follow to this day. Now the review, what can I say more than "I LOVE IT", honestly I don't even think I can come up with anything else but this to say, the seting is fantastic and the characters, god the characters are just amazing (Erin is the perfect type of MFL for this and it's a type of character I like a young lady from a rich family that is also spoiled and Ezra, our MML, he is so cool also the perfect choice for this, the way he plays with Erin makes me smile as I read this and hes also so mystirious that makes it even better!) and to top it all off this is very well written which is allways a plus! All in all I really liked this and you got yourself a fan!

This is an enjoyable read. I like the pacing of the story and how well the characters had been introduced. I like it when I can hate the characters yet sympathize with them. There are few typos and grammar issues but the writing is still excellent. I like the detailed character description and how well the author can put the emotions into words. Keep on updating! :)

I've been a fan of the devil being the embodiment of something true, not something completely evil. 93 chapters is a long way to read it shows how dedicated the author is, i also love how one chapter is divided into two hehe, amazingly written, the plot is something id love to see in an animeeee! keep it uppppp!!!

Quite a nice writing style. While dialogue is more used than descriptions about surroundings, readers can make a decent image in their mind by just reading through the dialogue. Which is an art in and of itself. I do like the characterization of the characters without using much description, which is --again-- a very good thing. I've noticed slight mistakes/missing words like missing 'his', 'theirs' and a single occasion of a misused word, so quite well-written. But none of these "mistakes" take away from the reading experience. The characters are all beautifully portraited with enough drama between secondary characters to make them interesting as well! Very nice job! If I make one suggestion for the future: Try to use more descriptions of surroundings. Most people have enough with your language ad dialogue and/or can imagine the scene right in front of them. Others can't or would like to have some help from the writer, at least. Last but not least, please keep up the work! You are doing brilliantly!

Wow, this book certainly took me on a wild ride for a few hours. Colorful characters, perfect dialogue and a great sense of humor really drew me in from the start. And that was before any of the crazy supernatural stuff came rushing in. Incredibly enjoyable. I hope this work is finished soon so I can catch the ending.

A well-written story with unique characters that make the story interesting. No problems whatsoever and the dynamic between the two main characters make it all worthwhile. I may not be a fan of this genre but would recommend to any type of reader out there.
