Quadri Maledetti

Às margens do Rio Xishui, vivia uma família de sobrenome Ruo, cuja sorte era tão desastrosamente ruim que parecia que a má sorte possuía suas próprias almas. Quando outras famílias tinham colheitas abundantes, a Família Ruo não colhia um único grão. Seus vegetais plantados eram devorados por insetos, suas galinhas pegavam peste aviária, seus porcos pegavam febre suína... Apesar de a casa estar cheia de homens fortes, eles eram ou loucos, aleijados ou cegos... O que teria sido uma família de grandes perspectivas tornou-se a mais pobre em dez milhas. A única coisa que os outros invejavam na Família Ruo eram seus membros masculinos prósperos! A velha senhora da Família Ruo deu à luz seis filhos, que depois lhe deram quatro netos. Ela sonhava dia e noite em ter uma neta. Quando ela finalmente teve uma neta, para seu desânimo, a criança era mentalmente desabilitada: com mais de três anos, ela ainda não conseguia falar ou andar, sequer conseguia comer ou se aliviar sem ajuda. Todo mundo achava que a Família Ruo nunca mudaria sua sorte nesta vida! Isso foi até a criança mentalmente desabilitada de três anos e meio de repente chamar, “Mamãe...” Os céus começaram a mudar. O mundo começou a se tornar misterioso. No quintal da Família Ruo, os caquis amadureceram da noite para o dia. Os vegetais nos campos, quase devorados por insetos, ficaram verdes e exuberantes. A velha galinha que nunca botava ovos de repente começou a botar... Enquanto outros enfrentavam fome, o celeiro da Família Ruo estava cheio. O filho mais velho não era mais louco, o segundo filho não era mais aleijado, o terceiro filho não era mais cego... A velha senhora da Família Ruo, com as mãos nos quadris, ria alegremente para o céu, "Quem diz que minha Xuanbao é uma simplória? Ela é claramente um tesouro de bênçãos!" (Este é um romance de fazenda com um toque de encanto de fada, onde a protagonista feminina em uma vida anterior era um lírio do dia recém-despertado que reencarnou como humana.)

There would be sparks and fireworks for sure. But why did Altamash force her to marry him? And most importantly, could these opposites ever fall in love? ••••••••••• "It's not him, it cannot be him!" I could feel the tears stinging my eyes, but his face stayed resolute. As he slowly walked towards me, I stepped away. I couldn't let him smash everything I'd known to the ground, to wreck havoc to every notion I had held as true. As the back of my head hit the wall behind me, I sucked in a breath. The sight of the animalistic smirk on his face scared me, he looked like he had won. Like I was exactly where he wanted me to be. Pushing his hands in his pockets he approached me, and stopped only when there was a hairsbreadth between us. I could feel the warmth of his breath fan my forehead. And I couldn't breathe. Leaning in his lips ghosted against the sensitive skin of my earlobe, "Deception my love." His voice was a smooth whisper against me, as warm as the blazing fire in his eyes and as smooth as the honey that reminded me of the colour of them. My pulse hammered erratically on my throat and he noticed, because he chuckled softly, "it's not easy to act in a way that is against what you actually feel Gauhar. He had you fooled, just like i have your body fooled into thinking that I am going to ravish you." "That's false." I bit out through grit teeth, my voice a vehement hiss. He placed an arm beside my head, caging me in and looking straight into my eyes, his own were dark the amber of orbs almost eclipsed. "It's not false and you know it, let's not deceive ourselves darling." Leaning in he inhaled a deep breath, "our bodies currently believe that we like eachother, when that's as far away from reality as could be." He abruptly stepped away, "it was all an illusion the same way Gauhar, he had spun a lie around you. Just like I had spun one around us." ••••••••• PS: The beginning of this book is super slow, because you guys gotta get acquainted with the characters, but I promise it'll get Interesting as the story moves on. And be warned this is a slow burn novel so if your expecting instant fireworks and sparks...this is not the book for you. But if you like to feel pain and emotions (masochistic?) and bit of solving cases of law, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. P.PS: The book is written in the POV of the four protagonists Anyways, you should go read the book cuz that's obviously what your here for. Happy Reading!
