Tóm tắt

The engagement of the most adored daughter of the Li Family was broken off. Her furious family members railed against the heartless man and vowed to make him pay the price. * Later on, Li Qiao met her ex-fiancé’s big brother by chance. Some said he was the most mysterious man in Nanyang and his name was Shang Yu, aka Shang Shaoyan. While some others called him the overbearing and obsessive underground Overlord of Nanyang from whom everyone should stay away. Standing in the misty rain, Li Qiao gazed at the ruthless and untamed man with a shallow smile, said, “Hello, I’m Li Qiao.” She would become her ex-fiancé’s sister-in-law, if not wife. * Li Qiao and her ex-fiancé met again on the street several months later when he sneered at her, “Are you following me? Haven’t you given up hope yet?” A harsh voice berated him from behind, “Show some respect to your sister-in-law!” From now on, only one rumor was circulating in Nanyang City – The merciless Overlord of Nanyang had one woman he uncritically doted on. Her name was Li Qiao.

Chapter 1Chapter 1: Breaking Off an Engagement

In the city of South Sea, every May always brought continuous rain.

At dusk, as the drizzle subsided, the damp air was filled with a thin mist, and even the wild roses in front of the hotel seemed to soak up a sense of damp despondency.

Outside the private dining room in the rear garden, Li Qiao leaned against the wall of the rain corridor, looking at the handsome man who was prattling on in front of her, a trace of impatience flowing in her eyes.

"So, you understand, right? I'm not going to like you, and it's even less likely that I'll marry you. No matter how our engagement came to be, I advise you to give up on the idea of marrying me as soon as possible."

The speaker was named Shang Lu, said to be a highly esteemed doctor.

Li Qiao didn't know much about him, only that the sole tie between them was a childhood pledge made before either was born.

Extremely cliché!

Li Qiao was getting tired from standing, so she shifted her ankles slightly and sighed softly with a hollow voice, "Mm, I understand."

"Also, don't expect... Huh?" Shang Lu's words lingered at his lips, clearly not expecting Li Qiao would agree so readily, and was momentarily stunned.

Outside the rain corridor, the rain started pattering again, the sound of water droplets striking the banana leaves clear and melodious.

Shang Lu was brought back to his senses by the sound of the rain, and on closer look, the person in front of him was gone.

He looked around, and at the corner ahead, only a dash of dark green skirt hem remained.

...

Li Qiao walked leisurely along the rain corridor, passing through this walkway to a glass rain-watching pavilion not far away.

The VIP rest area on the right was empty.

Tucking her skirt, Li Qiao sat down and looked out at the gray sky, her mood exceptionally light.

In fact, today was the first formal meeting between her and Shang Lu, and the childhood pledge that had bound them together for so many years wasn't at all the typical sweetheart narrative.

Even in her view, the origin of this engagement was unclear; otherwise, her family's attitude wouldn't have been so secretive.

In that case, breaking it off was for the best to avoid future troubles.

Li Qiao pondered to herself, and with the gradually diminishing rain, she seemed to hear a cry for help.

"Save, me—"

It wasn't an illusion!

The voice was very faint, almost inaudible.

As if someone's throat was being strangled, they were pleading with difficulty.

Li Qiao straightened herself up from the high-backed sofa, listened carefully for a few seconds, then rose and walked towards the outdoor greenery garden near the rain-watching pavilion.

The twilight deepened, with a dark sky overhead, and a soft rain fell silently.

Following the intermittent cries for help, Li Qiao walked past a variety of plants of different heights, and at the end she gently pushed aside a banana leaf. What she saw before her was unexpected.

Deep in the Green Garden, a man sat firm as a mountain under the octagonal gazebo at the stone table.

In her twenty-two years of life, Li Qiao had never seen any man wear black so handsomely and fittingly.

A black shirt, black trousers, spotless leather shoes, the arms rolled up at the sleeves resting on the stone table, and the slightly open collar that seemed to express an untamed wildness.

In this confined space, Li Qiao could feel the powerful aura emanating from him.

"Master Yan, I know I was wrong, please... save me..."

The cries for help sounded again, and Li Qiao shook herself out of her daze, her gaze wandering before finally noticing a thin middle-aged man lying in extreme agony on the wet and slippery bluestone floor.

Seeing this, she had a bad feeling, knowing she might have stumbled into a place she shouldn't have.

At that moment, the man known as Master Yan slowly raised his hand and leisurely smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeve, his deep and magnetic voice following suit, "It seems you've forgotten the rules of South Sea!"

Betrayed by Fiance, Embraced by Hidden Tycoon

[COMPLETED] Abigail Snow accidentally caught her fiancé being intimate with her sister. She learned that her fiancé had only used her to advance his business and had never truly loved her. Heartbroken, Abigail called off the engagement and left everything behind to start a new life with nothing. At her lowest point, she met Sawyer, a hidden tycoon who helped her rebuild her life and seek justice against those who made her suffer. As Abigail begins to fall in love with Sawyer, his childhood sweetheart reappears, causing doubt and confusion for her. *** Excerpt: "Okay. Tell me, where do you live?" Sawyer asked, focusing on the street ahead. Fifteen minutes later, Sawyer's vehicle stopped in front of Abigail's house. He was stunned beyond words when he saw the gates. After a few seconds, Sawyer, trying to suppress his shock, turned to her.  "Is this where you live now?" he asked. "Yes, I'm staying here..." Abigail answered excitedly. She wanted to invite him to stop by, but she remembered the rental contract rule stating she couldn't bring her friends or family onto the rooftop. "Can I stop by your house?" Sawyer casually asked, but Abigail felt tense upon hearing that. "Sawyer, I'm so sorry. The homeowner forbade me from bringing guests or family over," she faintly smiled at him. Sawyer was impressed to hear her words, "Aah, so there's a rule like that?" "Yeah. That's why I can't let you enter. If you want to meet me, we can meet at the café. Or, you can call me if you pass by this area." "Sure." ... As soon as Abigail stepped out of the car, Sawyer's smile vanished, and his expression slowly darkened. His sharp eyes remained fixed on Abigail as she entered the small door. Instead of rushing to move his car, he took out his cell phone and made an urgent call. "Hello, Ethan. Tell me, how is Abigail Snow living in my house?" Sawyer asked calmly but firmly. _____ How to contact me: >> Instagram account: authorpurplelight >> FB Page: Author_Purplelight >> Join my Discord Server: https://bit.ly/purplelightserver _____ Notes: The book cover belongs to the author.

Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO

She gave up her dream of shining on the ballerina stage —for him. She sacrificed her self-respect —for him. She forgot her true identity —for him. But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart. Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away. What she didn’t expect was that in breaking free from Ryan, she had opened the door for Aiden to enter her life — a chance that he had been waiting for. Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again. ____ Excerpt: Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.
