QT: Against My Will
SYNOPSIS: After a painful separation from her boyfriend, Bing Shi gets an opportunity to meet him again. Under one condition. To get her wish granted, she will have to travel to different worlds and finish all the assigned missions from the System HeadQuarters. In each of these universes, she's thrust into the company of the creme de la creme of men - alpha males who could stir butterflies in even the most self-assured and independent women. Will she be able to keep her cool around these magnetic hunks, or will her resolve crumble like a stale cookie? Amidst the chaos, Bing Shi stands firm: "I want only one thing – my boyfriend." In a cosmos filled with temptation, will her loyalty and love for her boyfriend emerge victorious? [Author's Note]: Don't be fooled by the term "quick transmigration." Each arc is a full-length romance novel in its own right, complete with side characters that are capable of development. :3 Illustrator/Artist: E.Y.R.

"Knox!" Daniel called out.
"Dad?" Knox looked up.
"Knox, are you alright?" Daniel asked, running toward his son in concern.
"I'm okay, Dad," Knox said, holding back his tears, "I didn't call mom because I was afraid she might worry."
"Mm, good job," said Daniel, stroking his head. The complexity of their relationship hung between them, unspoken but palpable.
Edward stood up, plopping a marshmallow into a cup of milk, and handed it to Knox, "Here, buddy."
Daniel's hand shot out, striking it away. The cup flew from Edward's grasp, milk and marshmallow scattering on the grass, "Don't play the good guy with us. I wouldn't put it past you to orchestrate this whole kidnapping just to come out looking like the hero. The Ashtor family will be stripped of their noble titles no matter what you do," he warned, taking his son away.
Knox looked up in shock, his eyes darting back to the silent Edward and XiaoPu's stunned face.
