But after one too many dinner dates with women who talk more about his stock portfolio than their hobbies, Ethan decides he’s done with high society. His grand plan? Marry a “normal” woman who doesn’t care about his money. Simple, right? Enter Emily Carter, a bookshop employee who thinks a “luxury” is buying two cups of coffee in one day.

We are currently on a hiatus till dec 25th (date is subjective to change if I finish rewriting early) Reason: Currently in the middle of rewriting from ch 1 (better quality) + getting a bit of back log ready for daily ch posts. Thank you so much for following along till now. ——————————————————————— When I fell from that bridge, I thought I was finally going to be free. I have never been more wrong. I woke up in a world shaped by forgotten gods and cursed by powers no mortal can hope to comprehend. The kingdoms here crumble under unseen hands, ancient cards that whisper in forgotten tongues, and somewhere beyond the edge of reality, a jester laughs—his voice carried on winds that no one else can hear. They say fate is a game, and we are the pieces. But the rules are hidden, and the players remain unseen. I’ve seen the signs: spirals twisting in the heart of storms, shadows that stretch when no light falls, statues with eyeless faces that watch… and remember. But there’s something more. A riddle unanswered, a truth buried in the cracks of this broken world: Who holds the reins? Who decides what lives and what dies? I wasn’t the first to stumble into their design. I wasn’t the second. I am the last. I am the end. This is the legend of the pawn who turned the strings of fate. The fable of the twenty-third curse. The legend of the puppeteer.

Selena Yingyue Zhao, daughter of the late Zhao Bohai, does not want any part of what she thinks her father has planned for her.

However, Yingyue quickly learns that taking the reins of a predetermined fate and steering it off course is not as easy as she first thought it to be. With time running out; secrets being unearthed left, right and centre, and every step a possible landmine waiting to blow up what Zhao Yingyue thought would be the beginning of her new life quickly becomes the beginning of a horrific nightmare. While she wrestles with her new dizzying normal and the huge expectations that had been placed on her shoulders, her previous life, and everything she knew in it, is falling apart right under her feet. It is, of course, no help at all that a certain charming business rival may perhaps be just the one to help her make her mark in the business world and stand on her own two feet. But, with such smooth-talking tendencies, how could that possibly end well in any essence of the word?
