Synopsis

He was the powerful and influencing heir of B City, the merciless head of the commercial world, but the divorce papers made him lose his cool. “Sign the divorce papers, daddy,” said the 5-year-old boy. This man had the divorce papers thrown in his face by his wife six years ago, and was now being pushed by his own son to sign the papers. “That would make you a single-parent child,” said Gu Juexi coldly. “Mommy said unicorns don’t exist but men like you do,” the boy leered at his father and said. Gu Juexi’s face fell. ‘That damned woman.’ “You haven’t signed the papers,” the boy reminded as the man left. As usual, the door shut in his face. Good lord… Dad and mom are not getting a divorce and are giving him a baby brother? How worrying!

Chapter 1A Divorce that Could Happen Anytime Now

Some say marriage is the tomb of love. I don't care if it is the castle of love if there was no love to begin with—Ye Yuwei.

The sun was shining over B City in the evening.

The waiter had refilled Ye Yuwei's coffee several times. Yet, the person she was expecting did not show up.

No one in the coffee shop said a word as they focused on the man on the television.

Gu Juexi. He was not a renowned scientist, but played a decisive role in the field of science. He is the most unrestrained childe1 of B City, but no one would call him a fuerdai2. He looked like he was derelict in his duties as a CEO, but had pushed his enterprise to a peak that it has never reached before.

Scientist, fuerdai, CEO, any of those names were appropriate for him, but at the same time inappropriate. This man, was a multitalented genius.

In the news, he could be so easily spotted among the crowd. His black tux, tall and straight physique, and masculine face were the perfect creation of God. There was no word that could be used to compliment this man.

His arm was gently held by a woman. The news on TV was about him and a famous movie star getting caught by the paparazzi at a hotel.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Gu… Mr. Gu is in the middle of something…" said Mr. Gu's personal assistant, just as the wind chime hanging at the door of the coffee shop sounded.

Ye Yuwei looked up and saw the personal assistant looking awkward. She could hear the news on the TV speculating if the CEO of Gu Enterprise and the hotshot actress Yu Sha'er were dating and whether they were tying the knot. Looked like this was the "something" Mr. Gu was in the middle of.

Feeling even more awkward, the personal assistant lowered his head. The truth was, Mr. Gu never did plan to come. It had always been this way.

"Please have a seat, PA Wen." Putting her emotions aside, Ye Yuwei smiled.

Ye Yuwei was really not one of the best-looking. It was fair to say she was the least beautiful amongst the rumored girlfriends Gu Juexi had.

The only thing Ye Yuwei had that other girls did not have was probably her eyes, which was the only reason why Gu Juexi agreed when his mother asked him to marry her.

The personal assistant smiled awkwardly and took the seat opposite Ye Yuwei.

"Is there anything else I can help you with, Mrs. Gu? Mr. Gu has another appointment in the afternoon with…"

"It's okay PA Wen. I don't need to know his schedules anymore." Ye Yuwei interrupted, looking down to hide the emotions in her eyes. 

She shouldn't have hoped the moment she learned the truth.

PA Wen was surprised. Ye Yuwei used to always ask for Mr. Gu's schedules. He couldn't remember when Mrs. Gu seemed to have lost interest in everything about Mr. Gu.

This made PA Wen concerned.

Ye Yuwei drew out some documents from her handbag and put it in front of PA Wen.

Realizing what document it was, PA Wen was stunned: "Mrs. Gu, you…"

Ye Yuwei smiled, feeling relieved as she saw the divorce papers in PA Wen's hands.

"Please pass this to Mr. Gu, PA Wen. I myself have signed the papers. I can go to the registry for the divorce anytime at his convenience."

Ye Yuwei realized that she has never been this relieved since she got married.

She lived in her dreams and fantasy of the married life with Gu Juexi during the first year of their marriage.

She acted like a fishwife during the second year of their marriage scolding and swearing with hatred at the women around her husband. That was when their relationship began to turn sour.

She learned a truth that she was not supposed to know during the third year of their marriage, and stopped clinging onto him.

It has been four years now and she was ready to let go.

Still stunned, PA Wen stared at the documents in front of him, not noticing that Ye Yuwei had left. 

Outside the coffee house, the soft setting sun shone on Ye Yuwei's face as the warm summer breeze blew. Ye Yuwei smiled—it was not that difficult to set herself free.

Transmigrated Into The True Heiress

Eira Kingston, a feared assassin, never imagined that death would lead her to transmigrate into the body of Ephyra Allen, the disgraced first daughter of the once-powerful Allen family. But what shocked her even more was the soft mechanical voice in her mind, addressing her as "master" and informing her that her soul had returned to its original body. Eira dismissed the strange voice, thinking she was having a post-death hallucination. But waking up in a hospital, with memories that weren’t hers flooding back, she was forced to confront the truth. Ephyra’s life had been nothing short of a nightmare. Despite being the legitimate daughter, she was labeled a bastard, shunned by all, and overshadowed by her scheming stepsister, who had stolen the love of her father and her betrothed. To make matters worse, the wealth and status the Allen family enjoyed were all thanks to Ephyra’s late mother, and the only reason she hadn’t been discarded entirely was due to her mother’s inheritance, locked away until she turned eighteen. But Eira wasn’t one to be defeated by circumstances. If she was going to live Ephyra’s life, she would do so on her own terms. She would destroy those who had caused Ephyra pain, claim the inheritance that was rightfully hers, and find out who was behind her own death. Because if there was one thing Eira knew how to do well, it was to survive—and make her enemies pay. However, being a high-schooler with nothing to her name wasn’t enough. As Ephyra, she’s powerless, but as an assassin, she’s lethal. Still, even that wasn't enough until she became the contracted wife of Lyle Aelion—a powerful, enigmatic figure in the business world with a secret illness. And it turns out, the only thing that can relieve him is her scent.

Devilish secretary

After centuries of ruling the underworld with terrifying power, Lilith dies in an epic battle, only to be reborn in the human world. But instead of a grand rebirth as a queen of darkness, she's reincarnated as something far more mundane—a secretary. Rather than despair, Lilith finds this new life amusing. After all, who would suspect the devil herself to be working a 9-to-5? Settling into her new reality, Lilith embraces her role, living in a luxurious apartment and working diligently in her office. Though her devilish instincts are hard to suppress, she's determined to be the perfect secretary. But when people push her too far, the devil within still comes out to play. When a creep in the office dares to look at her the wrong way, she calmly fixes her gaze on him. "You keep staring like that, and I'll show you what a broken wrist feels like." The man quickly scurries away, leaving Lilith with a satisfied smirk. Even the rich, entitled girl from accounting isn't safe from her wrath. "You think you can push me around just because you've got money? I've burned entire kingdoms for less. Don't test me." She says this with a calm smile, her eyes glinting dangerously. The day continued like that—stopping creeps in their tracks, putting rude heiresses in their place, and being the flawless secretary she intended to be. But, of course, her boss—the CEO—had his eyes on her, more curious than ever. And while the entire office might fear her or wonder about her, she remained blissfully indifferent. This was fun. And she wasn't here to impress anyone but herself. Who knew being a secretary could be so... interesting?

The Villain's Wife

-COMPLETED- WARNING: FL is scheming and evil. Like almost every dramatic romance novel, Lily Qin’s story began with an evil stepmother, a scheming stepsister, and a dumb ex-fiance. At twenty, she fell prey to their grand scheme and became the laughingstock of the country. In despair, she left. Seven years later, Lily Qin rose from the ashes. She was labeled as an empress, an iron lady, a genius, and a prodigy. She was Miss Tycoon. Now, at twenty-seven, Lily Qin was an established businesswoman who was single-handedly controlling her multinational company abroad. She was beautiful, smart, and successful. Women envied her while men couldn’t help but worship her ethereal beauty. With her devastating past, everyone had assumed that Lily would exact revenge on the people who had wronged her. Who would have guessed that behind that beaming smile of hers was a numb heart that aimed only to make more profit? "You got it wrong." Lily elegantly propped her chin on the back of her hand. "I am seeing you today because we have something in common. We're both villains in somebody else's eyes. And I think it's time for us villains to get our own happy ending. Don't you think so?" --- Zhuo Jingren’s love for Lily Qin was something that only he knew. Ever since they were children, he had his eyes on her. Yet, every time he had tried to confess, he would end up fainting from nervousness. So when Lily Qin promised to marry him if he became richer than her, Zhou Jingren did not hesitate to leave the orphanage and work his way up just to become her man. Who would have thought that years later, when he was successful and feared by many, he would come back to an engaged Lily Qin? Then she mistook him for an escort after eating his tofu? Preposterous! The worst thing was, she seemed to have forgotten everything about him. Hadn’t she promised to marry him the moment he became more prominent than her family? Now, after taking advantage of him, she dared to run away? This woman was a liar! He gritted his teeth as he watched her approach him. He was about to say something mean when she suddenly spoke. “Are you my new bodyguard?” She did not even wait for him to answer before tossing her car keys at him. “Drive. Let’s go wreak some havoc.” Thus, the mafia’s big boss became Lily Qin’s bodyguard. --- "So? What do you want as a compensation?" Zhuo Jingren asked her once again before laying down next to her. His elbow was resting on the ground and his palm was supporting his head as he looked at her intently.  The first thing that Lily noticed about Zhuo Jingren when he laid next to her was his exposed tanned chest. This made him look more casual… and hot. She didn't even realize she was staring at the latter. "Why are you staring at me like that?" He smirked at her. "Do you want me to compensate you with my body?" Lily immediately rolled her eyes at the latter. "Who wants your body? Hmp! I want money!" "Your mind is always thinking of money but your body actually betrays you. Am I right to say that I have a shameless wife?" "Hah! I am a strong and independent woman of the 21st century. I know what I want. But if you insist on giving your body, I will take it too!" Lily shamelessly said, taking off her stilettos. However, just when Lily was about to lie down beside Zhuo Jingren, he suddenly pulled her on top of him. With her body on top of his, their faces were really close and they could even feel each other's breath.  "What a shameless woman," he noted, the smile on his face only deepened. .... Cover is mine.
