I see dead people. But hey, it’s the zombie apocalypse, everyone is seeing dead people, including a blind girl. It’s not like I am that special. For a while, I thought I was going to be Cinderella, complete with the cruel stepfamily and the little mice for helpers. But instead of mice, I got demons from hell with a taste for chaos. Then again, there is nothing wrong with a little chaos in the middle of the apocalypse. It’s what makes life worth living. Unfortunately for others, they don’t quite see it that way. You see, I have a gift. One that isn’t exactly mine, but I can use it however I see fit. My gift is granting wishes. I'm a genie without a bottle, but it would be nice if people appreciated me more. All the humans ask for is the same thing… more food here, shelter there, kill these people, torture those. And I do it all, for a small price. I don’t ask for money or food, I can get that on my own. No, I want favors, souls, something that means everything for the other person. And they give it to me. Their momentary desire worth their long term happiness. But by the time they discover that, I’m long gone, already moved on to my next… client. I know I look young, starvation and abuse will do that to a girl. Humans tell me that I shouldn’t be wandering out there alone. Some try to help me… most don’t. But whoever said I was by myself? Just because others couldn’t see them didn’t mean my demons ever left. I still hear their voices in my head, whispering words of encouragement and love. For them, I’d do anything. Kill anyone. Destroy anything. After all, life is just a game, right? Those still alive at the end of the day were the lucky ones. Those who died were not. Everything is just a game of chance, all a human has to do is roll the dice. My only word of advice is to be careful what you wish for… you just might get it. My name is Hattie, welcome to my world. Would you like a cup of tea?

"Aaa!" Cassandra was shocked and screamed as she woke beside a strange man. To make matters worse, the man was shirtless, and she was only wearing underwear. 'What's going on, why is he sleeping with me?' "Morning, sweetheart!" The man beside Cassandra greeted her. Cassandra gasped, shook her head, and pushed the man to the ground. "Hey, what are you doing in my bed? Are you trying to harass me? Get out of here!" Cassandra pointed her index finger at the door. 'I married him? Who is that man? How can I be married to him?' Cassandra thought to herself as she lifted the blanket slowly and saw a red stain on the sheet. "How can we get married? I don't know you at all, and this seems to be our first meeting," asked Cassandra, who still couldn't hide her surprise. Charles looked deeply into Cassandra's green eyes. "Have you forgotten what happened last night? You even went so far as to ask me not to leave." ….……….. Cassandra immediately ran into the house, not caring that she now came with Charles.

What did I do?" asked Cassandra while holding her cheeks, which were now burning. Geoffry, Cassandra's father, only glanced sarcastically at his biological daughter. "You still ask what you did? Did I raise and finance you to be a slut?" --------- Cassandra Miller never knew she was being set up by her half-sister Vivian Hartley at a nightclub.

Good day everyone, my name is Arlene Glover, and I’m reaching out from Paris. My husband and I have always been cautious with our investments, and for years, we’ve run a joint business together. A couple of months ago, we decided to explore cryptocurrency as an investment option and came across a platform that appeared legitimate with promising reviews. We invested a significant portion of our savings, totaling $178,000 in Bitcoin. Initially, everything seemed fine, and we even saw some returns, encouraging us to invest more. However, things took a turn when the platform began demanding additional payments to unlock more funds or access our profits. Eventually, we realized it was a scam, and all our money had disappeared, leaving us frustrated and helpless. During this difficult time, I came across a post about Asset Rescue Specialist , a company that claimed to recover lost or stolen funds, including those from fraudulent cryptocurrency platforms. After reading positive reviews, I decided to reach out to them, providing all the necessary information. To our surprise, within just 48 hours, Asset Rescue Specialist had managed to recover our entire investment. We were in complete shock and incredibly relieved, grateful for their professionalism and expertise. Now, we are sharing our experience to recommend Asset Rescue Specialist to anyone who has fallen victim to similar scams.

I'm not Grace Finley. I can't remember my actual name anymore. I'm afraid I might forget what my family looks like, I miss them. I need to go back to my life. I want to go back to my life. Forget my overnight Cinderella status, I'm a wife?! Who married me without my knowledge?! My husband, The Grand Prince, happens to be the richest, most feared and most admired man in all of Valoria. His harsh words don't match his kind gestures. And he has got quite a handsome face. Also, did I mention that he is popular despite being the husband of someone? I won't surprised if he happens to have a secret cult of followers/admirers. Anyway, He is a kind man, that's all you have to know. As of now, my only way back seems to be the god of this world. So I first asked him politely, I truly was polite, I'm not lying! But with no reply to my polite inquires, I proceeded to commit blasphemy on my first public outing, and threatened to commit genocide but to no avail. At least tell me the reason for bringing me here, You damn god! I spoke in a 'very flowery' language that was not meant for children and always cursed him to my heart's content but I wasn't struck by lightning. I seriously don't want this privilege okay? Finally, The story of the body I possessed... I don't know. The only onslaught I felt was the severe head and body aches after opening my eyes in this body. I didn't mind until I learned that I woke up from an incident that was an attempt to take my life but covered up as an accident. If only I could find the perpetrator, I would like to encourage them to make another attempt and cooperate as long as it is painless. No memories, People after my life, a family to look after and a kingdom to rule, I have never been this responsible in my entire life! Is this a punishment for living the privileged life of the youngest child in the family? I'm only nineteen for god sake! Let me live!

Everyone knows the classic Cinderella story. A prince who falls in love with a commoner and unintentionally rescues her from her abusive household. But… What if Cinderella were a prideful young man, and the prince… was a princess who could barely admit her own feelings? Oh. The things people will do for love. The illegitimate son from the Xie family is laughed at the aristocratic circle. Proud, aloof, and undeniably rude, he’s everything but likable. His only saving graces are his unmatched grades and a face that could stop traffic. Yang Qinru, the "tyrant" of Imperial Academy, is no damsel in distress. With a bat in one hand and wit sharp enough to cut steel, she’s both feared and respected. But behind her rebellion is a girl who’s unafraid to take what she wants—even if it’s someone as infuriating as Xie Xinglin. ... "You’re kind of cute,” Yang Qinru mumbled, her cheeks betraying her with a faint pink hue. "What was that?" Xie Xinglin looked up, frowning. "I said you look like you crawled out of a garbage can!" she snapped, cheeks flaming as she spun on her heel and stormed off. Later, Wang Ye leaned in with a sly grin. "Boss, you into him? Like, fantasizing-about-him kind of into him?" Yang Qinru shot him a glare. "Like who?" "You know… him. Do you, like, daydream about holding his hand and skipping through fields of flowers or something?" She snorted. "Of course not! What kind of nonsense—?" She paused, her voice dropping to a mumble. "It's not like I imagine us getting married, building a house in the countryside, and adopting five cats or anything." Wang Ye blinked, stunned. "Uh… boss, that’s oddly specific." "Shut up!" she barked, shoving him away. This isn’t your typical fairy tale. When the "Cinderella" isn’t waiting to be saved, and the "prince" has his own walls to break down, what’s left is a whirlwind romance of rivalry, sarcasm, and reluctant confessions. After all, love doesn’t always follow the script.

In the enchanting kingdom of Eldoria, where starlit skies kissed the earth and magic danced in the air, there lived a young woman named Ella. Known to most as Cinderella, her days were filled with chores and solitude, her nights spent dreaming of a life beyond her stepmother's oppressive grasp. One fateful evening, while tending to her garden, Ella discovered a hidden glade where wildflowers bloomed with an otherworldly glow. Drawn in by the ethereal beauty, she stumbled upon an ancient, shimmering well. As she gazed into its depths, a voice whispered to her, "Awaken the heart that lies dormant." Intrigued, Ella leaned closer and made a wish—a wish for courage, for love, and for a life where she could be truly herself. The well responded with a gentle ripple, and in that moment, the air around her shimmered with magic. She felt a warmth envelop her, igniting a spark within her heart that she had long forgotten. The next day, preparations for the royal ball swept through the kingdom. Ella’s heart raced at the thought of attending, but her stepmother firmly forbade it. Disheartened yet determined, she returned to the glade, hoping for guidance. There, she met a mysterious stranger named Leo, a dashing prince in disguise, who had ventured into the woods to escape the burdens of royal expectation. Their eyes locked, and in that instant, Ella felt a connection that transcended words. Leo revealed his desire to find true love, someone who saw beyond the crown. Inspired by their shared dreams, Ella confided her wishes and fears. With each passing moment, their bond deepened, igniting a romance that felt as old as time itself. With Leo’s encouragement, Ella crafted a plan. Using the magic of the well, she transformed her rags into a breathtaking gown and a pair of delicate glass slippers. That night, under a canopy of stars, she stepped into the ballroom, where Leo awaited her arrival. As they danced, the world around them faded away. In that moment, Ella realized that she had awakened not just to love, but to her own strength and spirit. The clock struck midnight, and as she fled the ball, Leo’s heart raced with a newfound determination to find her again. Cinderella's awakening was not just a tale of transformation; it was the beginning of a love story that would change the kingdom forever.
