And somehow, he’s set his sights on Ava. No loose talking, no crossing the line—just a sharp gaze that lingers too long and a smirk that promises trouble. Now, with her career hanging by a thread and Kai refusing to stay in his lane, Ava is left with one question: How do you fight against someone who never plays fair?

Lucian was ruthless but never cruel to her. His touch, once unwelcome, ignited a fire she couldn’t ignore.

Black-bellied, sharp-tongued business tyrant vs. adorably cunning, deceptively soft beauty 【Let the evil meet their fate, and if fate doesn't take its course, I'll do it for you】 It was rumored in C City that the merchant Gu Jiangnian was a master of strategy and profit, where every move was made for gain. But everyone at Junhua knew, Director Gu sought not only profit but also people. To what extent? Want money, send money; want someone, send someone; you fight, I guard the door; you brawl, I support you. Before marriage, she was the least favored miss of the Jiang family, battling alone against her cruel stepmother and adulterous father, with her daily work: brawl! Brawl! And brawl some more! After marriage, she was the beloved little ancestor of the Gu Mansion, pampered and protected in the palm of the master's hand, too precious to let others bully, with her daily work: cling to powerful coattails! Cling! And cling some more! 【Post-marriage daily life one】 One day, Mrs. Gu was ill and had lost her appetite. Mr. Gu canceled his appointments to return home, sat in front of her, and coldly stared, his words icy: “Didn’t you say I was a feast for the eyes? Eat!” 【Post-marriage daily life two】 Mrs. Gu found herself in a tight spot, attacked by the public, when a reporter relentlessly pursued Gu Jiangnian asking, “As Junhua’s director and C City’s wealthiest Mr. Gu, what is your opinion on Mrs. Gu's attempt to run over her own biological father?” The man paused abruptly, his face cold as he slowly and deliberately said, “She's spoiled by me. What’s it to you?” Without waiting for the reporter to answer, he arrogantly continued, “Even if you have an opinion, keep it to yourself. My woman, Gu Jiangnian’s woman, is not subject to your criticism.”

She had always assumed that her newlywed husband, with his staggering wealth, lacked the ability to procreate, so she was completely unguarded around him, failing to notice that someone's gaze was off... “I like women, our genders aren't compatible, let's get a divorce...” Su Xingyue came up with all sorts of reasons to divorce him, but Nan Yuling decisively, accurately, and ruthlessly cut off all her potential suitors, ensuring that she could only be spoiled by him alone! Besides that, he tirelessly proved it to her in person... Therefore, one day, Mrs. Nan, unable to bear the hardship, ran away from home once again... [He made pampering her a cage, imprisoning his love for her for a lifetime...]

The cover is my work too. This story is not as gruesome or violent as regular Chinese stuff here, because I'm European, so it is kind of easy to read but it still has hot content, twists and an interesting storyline. The setting ranges from ancient, medieval to almost modern. This is uncontracted book , so enjoy the free reading:-) #beastman, #hotblooded, #playfull, #gamesofwits, #tiger, #snake, #eagle,#scorpion, # dragon, #adventure, #romance,#sexy

"They say every family has its secrets, but mine just married into the mafia." I didn’t ask for this life—didn’t ask for the luxurious cage, the whispered threats, or the blood-soaked power plays that come with the Stathoulis name. All I wanted was to finish my film degree and live on my own terms. But when my mother got engaged to Peter Stathoulis, a retired don of the Greek mafia, my world completely turned upside down. Now, I’m stuck in their large mansion, caught between family loyalty and a world I could barely understand. And then there’s him—Andrea Stathoulis.

But the deeper I dig into the secrets of this family, the more dangerous it becomes. A betrayal I never saw coming, a kidnapping that leaves me powerless. And Andrea —possessive, infuriating, and un​for​tu​nate​ly the only one who can save me. I’m not even sure what scares me more—the enemies circling closer, or the man I might be falling for.
