However, May remained unaware that she was unknowingly romancing her best friend Ares, whom she affectionately called by his pet name. To her, it felt completely normal, just as it had with her brothers. She inadvertently rejected Stanley's attempts to express his feelings for her, not realizing what those feelings truly meant.

Life can never be simple. When a boy starts a supposedly "new" life at a secondary school, he hopes to forget the past and becomes anew. All he ever wanted was a peaceful high-school life. But life finds its way to completely flip his world upside down. Now he has to deal with crazy situations, ranging from embarrassing himself in front of hundreds of people to falling in love in the most random moments like every romance story out there. Life for this boy really turned anew. **This "novel" is a combination of the authors experience throughout high-school and his delusions he always had in his mind in which he wants to pour it out in this story** DISCLAIMER (and authors note) This is my first time ever writing something big and ambitious. Just writing to get a hobby or something. AND IT WILL SUCK. MY WRITING IS ABSOLUTE TRASH. I HAVE NO UPLOAD SCHEDULE SO CHAPTERS WILL BE PUBLISHED RANDOMLY Honestly I just wanted to put all my wishes and delusions of what I wanted highschool to be like for me. And I thought that I might as well share some of the experience I had in my actual highschool life so I can have a mix of reality and imagination in this story. Guess we'll see how that'll work out and also see how far this story will go. I hope I can at least finish it. I don't expect anyone to read it. After all, I can say that this is like my diary and memory book for me to read back and smile at the experience I went through during highschool. Making it public in case anybody wants something to relate to I guess :P

from best friends to lovers, she fell first... he fell harder

Salvation. Sanctuary. A safe place. Somewhere he can be safe and free. Somewhere away from abuse, from his bullies, from harassment, from false judgements... from ropes... and whips... somewhere away from pain. Somewhere they will never reach him. That is what Aqueo Harp had always been wishing for. So when he finds himself dying and waking up in a world of magic, a world completely different from the one he had, he views it as a blessing in disguise. It was the thing he had been asking for—to escape from the cruel fate of an orphan like him in his previous world—a life under the mercy of a human trafficking organization that plunged him in a cycle of recurrent depression, back-and-forth at the local detention center, and other stuff that are known to be interrelated with juvenile delinquency. With that in mind, Aqueo swears to never go back to his miserable old life and live an opposite life in the new world, one that is devoid of any trouble he had in the past. But not even a full day has passed when he finds out that his fate in this new world might end up the same as his previous one. This place is also brimming with slavery and other abuse, just as dangerous as his previous world—or even worse. But there is hope, Aqueo Harp meets a water spirit and finds new friends, something he never had for a long time. With their help, Aqueo doesn't feel as hopeless anymore.

Will Tian You and Chiu Yueng finally set aside their difference and find love or would Xin Er's appearance ruin everything? Or would both girls become part of Tian You's harem? And what secret does Xin Er herself hold? ============================================ Let me make myself clear this is not incest as the main characters aren't related. You will see why during the story. The plot and all the characters are original. It isn't translated. There might be some grammatical mistakes as English is not my first language. The book cover isn't mine, I found it on Pinterest so credits go to the artist. The timeliness is based in ancient China. It's for both genders to read, but maybe a bit more for females cause it's mostly a historical romance. My other works: -Rebirth for you: -The Villainess?
