Stepmother Friend

After a brutal betrayal and a car accident on a rainy night, Qin Lian thought her story had ended. But when she wakes up, she finds herself inside a novel—as the fake daughter of the Qin family. Now forced to swap engagements with the real daughter. She was sent to the countryside to marry a pig farmer with three children—an older man the original host despised. In the story, the host mistreated her husband and his children, chasing after her ex-fiancé, the so-called male lead. But this time, Qin Lian is writing her own ending. Rather than humiliating herself for people who never loved her, she agrees to the marriage. Because she sees what others don’t: behind his cold and distant exterior is a loyal, hardworking, and handsome man with the discipline of a former soldier. Once an orphan with no one to rely on, she now has three children who adore her and a husband who pampers her. With a sharp mind, a soft heart, and a little bit of luck, she transforms their simple countryside life into something extraordinary. A capable wife. A devoted husband. A loving family. What more could she ask for? So when the parents who abandoned her come begging, and the ex-fiancé who ignored her becomes obsessed—Qin Lian simply smiles. Because this time… she already has everything she needs. .....Excerpt...... "Xu Yinchen, how can you let your wife make all the household decisions? You're the man—you should be in charge!" The man sneered, thinking he'd struck a nerve. But Xu Yinchen only smiled. "In my house, she's the boss. Of course, I do as she says." The man was speechless. This was Xu Yinchen—cold and composed, whose presence alone could make others fall silent. And yet here he was, completely soft and obedient in front of his wife. Unbelievable… but undeniably real. ......xxxxx......

That boy is Hachi Shimizu, a half-zombie, half-vampire who was disposed of by an evil organization known as the Kara Tech, which was notorious for its brutal and unethical experiments. Together, the two boys team up with a detective named Toshi Kawasaki, a half-Japanese, half-British who specializes in the supernatural and also considers the murder case of Akira’s best friend open despite the police closing it due to a lack of evidence.

Rencananya, Selin dan sahabatnya Maxi malam itu mau menginap di rumahnya Lucian, bersama Aria (pacarnya Lucian) dan juga Dylan (sahabatnya Lucian) untuk mengerjakan tugas kelompok dari kampus. Mereka sudah kenal Lucian dari semester pertama, tetapi memang tak pernah main ke rumahnya. Hanya saja, mereka tahu bahwa ibunya Lucian sudah lama meninggal dan ia diurus oleh ayahnya seorang. Mereka juga sudah pernah melihat foto ayahnya Lucian, tetapi hanya sebatas selfie. Itu pun foto berdua dengan Lucian. Nah, hari itu mereka sepakat untuk mengerjakan tugas kelompok di rumah Lucian karena infonya, ayahnya Lucian akan kembali besok malam karena masih berada dalam perjalanan bisnis ke luar negeri. Jadi, ketika Selin menumpang mandi di dalam salah satu kamar mandi tamu rumahnya Lucian, Selin benar-benar tak berekspektasi bahwa dia akan melihat wujud ayahnya Lucian yang ternyata bertubuh tinggi dan kekar itu tengah berdiri di depannya, hanya memakai boxer dan membawa handuk, sedikit terkejut karena melihat Selin keluar dari kamar mandi tamunya. Orang yang seharusnya kembali besok malam, mengapa bisa ada di sini?! Lagi pula, buat apa mandi di kamar mandi tamu?! Tapi....sialan. Selin baru sadar bahwa dirinya saat ini hanya memakai handuk! "Astaga! Astaga ya Tuhan, maaf, Om!" teriak Selin sembari berlari terbirit-birit ke luar kamar. Sial, ini luar biasa memalukan! Saat Selin sudah mulai tenang, Selin berjalan di koridor seraya membatin. Bukannya Selin mau berpikiran mesum, tetapi astaga, itu betulan ayahnya Lucian? Ya Tuhan, seksi sekali. Pria dewasa yang matang. Gagah...dan...punyanya juga terlihat besar di boxer itu- -eh, sebentar. Baju ganti Selin ketinggalan di kamar tamu tadi!
