La Heredera que Lee la Mente: De Impostora a Favorita de la Familia

Wenyan leyó un libro en el que un personaje secundario que compartía su nombre era una falsa heredera. Después de que la verdadera heredera asumiera su posición, la impostora intentó asegurar su lugar en la familia adinerada drogando al hijo mayor y haciendo un hecho consumado de un arroz cocido, solo para ser desenmascarada por la Familia Shen y terminar suicidándose en la desesperación. Wenyan estaba furiosa de ver tal final. ¿Cómo no se podría sobrevivir sin el respaldo de una familia adinerada? ¿Acaso la familia no le había proporcionado una casa de lujo y un sinfín de artículos de lujo? Solo vender esos le reportaría decenas de millones. ¡Ella era simplemente un caso perdido! Si ella fuera la Wenyan del libro, habría renunciado a su posición y simplemente habría vivido relajada como un pez salado! Pero cuando despertó de su sueño, realmente transmigró al libro. Fiel a su palabra, dejó de conspirar. De la noche a la mañana empacó sus maletas, vendió su casa, coche y bolsos, y buscó un trabajo. Toda la Familia Shen notó el cambio en Wenyan, su hija adoptada. No solo se había mudado obedientemente, sino que también nunca causó problemas de nuevo. Aún más extraño fue que ahora podían ver sus pensamientos más íntimos. «Papá, Mamá, nunca quise usurpar su nido, pero los resultados de la prueba de ADN de la verdadera hija tienen problemas. De hecho, ella es incluso más falsa que yo, la supuesta heredera.», pensó. Padres de la Familia Shen: ...... Entonces, la 'hija' perdida y encontrada fue expuesta como una impostora y llevada por la policía para ser interrogada. «Hermano mayor, ese compañero de colegio tuyo no es bueno, es un espía corporativo, el hijo ilegítimo de los archienemigos de la Familia Shen.», pensó. El hijo mayor de la Familia Shen: ...... Después, el compañero fue sorprendido robando documentos confidenciales y también fue llevado por la policía para ser interrogado. «Segundo hermano, eres una persona tan pura y noble, no debes estar con la hija de la Familia Qin, ella solo te está usando, su corazón en realidad está puesto en alguien más.», pensó. El segundo hijo de la Familia Shen: ...... Gracias, lo investigaré. «Y tercer hermano, cuarto hermano......», pensó. Al final, nadie podría haber predicho que la hija adoptada menos distinguida de la Familia Shen se convertiría en la mimada nuera.

Pleasure God's Opus

*Spawns into existence with an overpowered past* Walks in an elegant and dignified gait, takes a seat on a chair as if he was a sovereign and gazes down at you. "Hello, ladies~" I spoke in an enchanting yet overbearing tone, gazing at the ladies, who were dazed gazing up at me in a near-revering state. "And to you guys too" I mumbled in annoyance as my eyes landed on men. "Hey, can't you just remove men, except for me, from my world?" I asked _Eshwar_. (*_Eshwar_ choks on the drink he was drinking and glances away*) "Tsk, useless!" I cursed at him and glanced away, ignoring his menacing glare, that spoke volumes on his urge to erase me out of existence. "Him and I have spoken and we have come to an agreement on him telling you guys my opus, and heh, I will, of course, be the main focus, so ladies~~ You'll be seeing me soon~" I spoke to the ladies gazing up at me, while I continued to ignore the men in the crowd. Glancing to the side, my eyes fell on the men, who flinched at the ominous foreboding feeling that abruptly chruned their stomach, "You better keep your ladies safe...... since they'll be mine soon~~" I said with a smile that made men shudder while charming the women at the same time. My gaze swept over the crowd beneath, "Since the world I am to transmigrate into is overwhelmingly futuristic, there are many things to adventure about, so we have decided on, not dwelling too much on politics and other shit, but instead focus only on women and me~" I stated with an enchanting grin. *In a distinct chatter* "Oi, tell them the truth!!" _Eshwar_'s voice yelled at, from a distance..... "No wait, isn't he right? But a bit of politics should be good....." _Eshqar_'s mumbled whispers trickled my sensitive ears, but I didn't like the words that left his mouth. "Oi, we discussed not to include politics and shit like tha-" But it was already too late..... _Eshwar_'s pen wielding hand flitted across the plot filled sheets, as a subtle exclamation escaped his mouth, and at that, I could instantly tell that he was up to no good! "Oi-" "With a bit of politics!" He yelled from a distance, as a ghastly silence descended upon me and the crowd gazing up at me, while the men grinned mockingly and women tilted their heads to the side in such cuteness that I almost forgot the plight at hand. Afterall, when I narrated my opus, I stated repeatedly that I don't like politics! "You added politics?" I asked with a forced smile. "Mhm" _Eshwar_ nodded his head innocently. ".....politics?" "Yeah" "Ohyoumotherfu-" *with the distinct sounds of crashes, both of them fled from the scene* -- [AN's Promise] "Well, let's experience as many beautiful love stories as possible~" [A lovely bundle of fluffy love stories] -- AN: I don’t know who the artist of the cover is, but if you want me to remove it.... you can ask me to do so (T-T).

Ruth Lee (TAMING THE MAFIA PRINCESS )

The story starts in the busy city of Hong Kong, where Ruth Lee is leading a life of privilege, replete with all the luxuries and protection provided by her powerful Mafia family. She suspects something is wrong, but the truth comes crashing down when, after a family argument, Ruth wakes up to a house full of dead servants and her family nowhere to be found. Scared and desperate at first, Ruth finds, behind a hidden safe left by her father, an address in Seoul, South Korea; a credit card; and papers so she could travel. She finally settled in South Korea out of necessity in search of her answers. On landing, it is Frank Xia, a very-feared Mafia lord previously associated with the mafia family. Frank, owing to old debts to her father, agrees to help Ruth find her family-but only if she proves capable of surviving the brutal world of the Mafia. As Ruth trains with Frank and his crew, she learns about her secret Mafia lineage and all the power dynamics that come with it. It is a tough, grueling training that pushes her to her limits, but slowly, Ruth morphs from pampered princess into Mafia heiress. The complication in their mission would be the budding attraction between Ruth and Frank, and as their feelings for each other deepen, so does their determination to find her family-and to unmask the formidable foes against them. On her way, Ruth faces betrayal, dark secrets, and surprising alliances. Now she's supposed to learn her way with a world she never understood, and the dark legacy of her family. Tension between her and Frank heightens while running life-threatening missions, and a passionate romance blooms in the midst of chaos. But the road to the future is filled with perils, as Ruth's uncle, a powerful Mafia baron with a deep-seated grudge against her family, seeks to destroy everything they've built.

The Possibility Of Recovering Scammed Bitcoin Is Real With Help Of Lee

As an electrician, I’ve always prided myself on my hard work and dedication. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way that not all investments are what they seem. I lost over $1,000,000 to fraudulent brokers and so-called account managers who deceived me into trusting them with my money. What began as an opportunity to grow my savings quickly turned into a devastating experience. It all started with a seemingly legitimate investment offer. The brokers made convincing claims, and the initial returns were encouraging, so I decided to invest more. They assured me that the more I invested, the higher my returns would be. I felt confident about the decision and followed their advice, thinking I was making smart financial moves. However, when I tried to withdraw my earnings, things quickly took a turn for the worse. The brokers began requesting additional funds before they would process any withdrawal. At first, I hesitated, but their constant push made me feel like it was a necessary step to access my money. Each time I complied, they would come up with new excuses and demand even more funds. Eventually, when I tried to withdraw everything, they disappeared. All my attempts to contact their customer support went unanswered, and it became clear I had been scammed. The loss was overwhelming, especially as an electrician with a family to support and bills to pay. But I wasn’t ready to give up. I began researching ways to recover my funds and stumbled upon a YouTube video that explained how victims of online scams could get their money back. That video led me to Lee Ultimate Hacker, a service that specializes in helping people who have been scammed. I reached out to them and received a response within hours. They requested all the details of my investment and the communication I had with the fraudulent brokers. I followed their instructions and provided the necessary documentation. To my surprise and relief, Lee Ultimate Hacker was able to successfully recover my entire investment, including the profits I had earned during the time I was involved. Thanks to their expertise, I was able to get my financial security back. This experience has been eye-opening, and I am sharing it now to help others avoid falling into the same trap. If you’re facing withdrawal issues or suspect you’ve been scammed on a trading platform, I highly recommend reaching out to Lee Ultimate Hacker on telegram: L E E U L T I M A T E, or wh@tsapp + 1 ( 7 1 5 ) 3 1 4 - 9 2 4 8 & Support @ leeultimatehacker . c o m) They helped me when I thought all hope was lost, and I’m confident they can do the same for others. Please recovery is possible if fall victim.

Innocent Until Proven Guilty

"Speaking of knowing things…" Kyle said slowly, "You still haven't given me a chance to tell my story." "I know," said Andrea. "I was having too much fun speculating. Finding you like this is a gift, and I don't want to tear the wrapping off all at once. ‘Building up the anticipation makes it better.’" Kyle blinked again, then gave a quiet snort of recognition at his own words being thrown back at him. "So what is your speculation?" Kyle asked. "Oh I don't know, probably something utterly disappointing. Did they pick you up for speeding on the way to the farmers market? I guess that wouldn't explain the uh…" she gestured at his injury again. "It wouldn't explain that now, would it. Oh, I know! You got into a fight over the last piece of bluefin!" Kyle just shook his head slightly. "No? I guess it's too much to hope you did something really exciting like rob a bank—You're not secretly a cat burglar are you, Kyle? Lose your balance breaking into an art gallery? No…?" Kyle looked unamused. "Very funny, Chuckles, would you mind taking this a little more seriously?" "Of course," said Andrea. "Very serious for a lawyer to have been arrested. You could be disciplined. Disbarred! Why, we might not see each other in court anymore. Wouldn't that be a shame." "Wouldn't it though," replied Kyle. "So that's the kind of guy you think I am? Stealing fine art and fighting in fish markets?” Andrea pondered some more. "I know!" she exclaimed. "Did you get into a fight with someone's boyfriend? Did it turn out that you were your young lady's bit on the side, and you ended up having a domestic dispute?" Kyle winced. "Is that it?!" Andrea had been teasing, but it seems like she had touched a nerve. To whatever degree Kyle had seemed like he'd been playing along, even as worn down as he was, that last remark had left him deflated. Kyle hung his head. "It wasn't like that…" "Oh sure, like you haven't been collecting notches on your bedposts." "I'M not like that." "You're not? That's not what your reputation says, out there collecting numbers and breaking hearts. I heard that you were a real ladykil–" "Andrea! I'm not–" Kyle shouted, grabbing her hands. His hands were strong, and his grip so tight it almost hurt. His expression so intense, frustrated and hurt and… scared? Andrea knew she had been twisting the knife a little into something that bothered him, but what had caused this reaction? It was only for a moment, then Kyle seemed to catch himself and let go. He slumped back in his chair and slid his shackled hands back below the table. Andrea leaned back as well, adding to the distance, and folded her arms, no longer smiling. She glanced at the duress button out of the corner of her eye. If Kyle had kept holding her as tightly as he had been, she wouldn't have even been able to reach it. "I think we're ready for storytime now," she said seriously. “I think you had better start at the punchline. What have you been charged with, Mr Wynn?" Kyle took a deep breath before he raised his head once more. "Murder, Ms Mason. First Degree Murder." *** Andrea Mason, a defense attorney who cares more about justice and protecting her clients than just winning cases. But the one man she hates to lose to is her rival, the arrogant prosecutor, Kyle Wynn. Kyle represents everything Andi hates about unscrupulous win-at-all-costs lawyers, and for years they have traded arguments in the courtroom and barbs in the hallways. Their paths cross again when they find themselves on a high-profile murder trial. As much as Andrea might despise Kyle, she can’t believe it when HE is charged with the horrific murder. But she is even more shocked when he asks for her to represent him at trial… *** #SLOWBURN #STRONGFL #CRIME #MURDER #FLIRTY #ROMANCE If you want to know what to expect, check the reviews! ฅ^-ﻌ•^ฅ Burrito says to join here: https://discord.gg/qr7eUnxT2F
