Let me introduce my wife Li Mumu—she is gentle, virtuous, cute, and empathetic, and she is an evil spirit. Who writes a diary in all seriousness!

La veille de leur mariage, son fiancé s'est enfui avec sa maîtresse. Par frustration, elle a attrapé l'homme debout devant le bureau des affaires civiles : "Président Mo, votre mariée n'est pas arrivée et mon fiancé s'est enfui... Puis-je vous proposer de nous marier ?" Avant le mariage, elle a dit : "Même si nous devions partager le même lit, il ne se passerait rien entre nous !" Après le mariage, il a dit : "Si nous n'essayons pas, comment saurions-nous ?"

Trompée pour se marier, exploitée toute une vie comme nourrice sans salaire et finalement battue à mort par sa mère adoptive devant le lit de malade de son père adoptif, la misérable vie de Shen Mianmian prit fin. Lorsqu'elle ouvrit de nouveau les yeux, elle se retrouva à quinze ans. Shen Mianmian jura d'échapper à son destin passé, de punir sa cousine malveillante et sa mère adoptive, mais brilla accidentellement trop fort dans le processus. L'avant-dernière élève à l'école s'éleva soudainement au sommet, devenant la candidate convoitée par des universités prestigieuses, provoquant une sensation parmi tous les enseignants et étudiants... Tandis que d'autres étaient occupés à étudier, Shen Mianmian était occupée à lancer des petites entreprises pour gagner de l'argent... Tandis que d'autres se préparaient pour l'examen d'entrée au collège, Shen Mianmian achetait en une fois les deux maisons hantées les plus notoires de Pékin... devenant une curiosité aux yeux de tous, ils se moquaient d'elle en disant que même si elle avait la fortune pour les acheter, elle pourrait ne pas avoir la vie pour y habiter. Lorsque d'autres étaient diplômés et occupés à chercher du travail, les propriétés hantées achetées par Shen Mianmian furent réquisitionnées par le gouvernement, lui rapportant une somme considérable en compensation pour la démolition. Ceux qui s'étaient moqués d'elle ne purent s'empêcher de se gifler deux fois... demandant partout où pourraient se vendre des maisons hantées. Shen Mianmian, qui avait initialement besoin d'emprunter de l'argent pour les frais de scolarité, utilisa les fonds de la démolition et tira parti de son avantage de renaissance pour acheter un terrain adéquat et construire un immeuble de location, se transformant en la propriétaire la plus riche et la plus prospère de Pékin... Un jour, Shen Mianmian, portant un sac de clés et venant tout juste de percevoir le loyer, fut entraînée au Bureau des Affaires Civiles. "Shen Mianmian, il est temps pour toi de rembourser ce que tu me dois."

Kisha Aldens est une employée de bureau normale avec des revenus moyens, jusqu'à ce qu'elle voie soudainement un compte à rebours du système devant elle. Son esprit a soudainement reçu un avertissement concernant l'apocalypse et la pressait d'intégrer le système pour l'assister dans sa survie. "Ai-je encore trop travaillé ?" pensa-t-elle en se pinçant l'arête du nez. Elle cligna des yeux quelques fois de plus, mais l'interface système était toujours là. Elle était loin de savoir que ce système serait sa dernière bouée de sauvetage dans l'apocalypse imminente où la morale humaine serait au plus bas, la confiance juste un mot et la trahison pourrait survenir en un clin d'œil. Une personne naïve comme elle a dû apprendre à la dure comment survivre et se frayer un chemin dans un monde infesté de zombies. Et le pire, elle a dû mourir 99 fois pour endurcir son cœur et apprendre à lire dans le cœur humain. Sa 100ème fois sera-t-elle différente des vies précédentes, survivra-t-elle cette fois-ci ? Et la survie sera-t-elle son seul problème au cœur de l'Apocalypse ? Non, il y avait un plan plus profond en jeu qu'elle devrait découvrir au fur et à mesure.

Valhalla is a game company renowned for its groundbreaking VRMMORPGs—immersive worlds that captivate and enchant anyone daring enough to step into them. Yet, unbeknownst to the public, every one of Valhalla's game worlds is real. The NPCs are living, breathing beings; the worlds, monsters, and people are not mere simulations but fully functional and genuine. Faced with a dwindling number of viable worlds, Valhalla embarks on an ambitious mission: the creation of a brand-new world designed specifically for their players. To achieve this, they send three men—an unlikely team consisting of a cook, an artist, and a civil engineer—tasked with cultivating a realm teeming with life, challenges, and boundless potential. Their objective? Make this new world a place worth living in. Magic, dragons, empires—nothing is off the table. But first, they have to survive.

She gave up her dream of shining on the ballerina stage —for him. She sacrificed her self-respect —for him. She forgot her true identity —for him. But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart. Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away. What she didn’t expect was that in breaking free from Ryan, she had opened the door for Aiden to enter her life — a chance that he had been waiting for. Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again. ____ Excerpt: Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

I'm just an extra. The one going for the interview is the protagonist! Ji Xiaonuan accompanied her friend to an interview. In the end, her friend failed, but she was selected. "What?

Christopher, once a master Beast Tamer was betrayed by the very disciples he had nurtured, now found himself reborn. His life, dedicated to training and empowering five promising individuals, had ended abruptly, their betrayal a bitter sting even in death. But death was not the end. He awoke as Christopher Valhalla, the eldest son of one of the capital city's most influential families. The Valhalla name carried weight, a legacy of power and respect. This new life, however, was not a clean slate. The memories of his past life, the sting of betrayal, the burning desire for revenge – they remained, etched into his very soul. He looked around his opulent new surroundings, a stark contrast to the humble training grounds he had called home in his previous life. The Valhalla estate was a testament to their wealth and influence, a sprawling complex of manicured gardens, imposing structures, and an air of undeniable power. He was no longer a mentor, the supreme tamer, or a provider; he was now a scion of power, a prince in his own right. This newfound status, however, was merely a tool, a stepping stone on his path to vengeance. Christopher knew he couldn't simply reveal his past life. The world wouldn't believe him. He had to play the part of the pampered, privileged son, all the while secretly plotting his return to power. He remembered the faces of his betrayers: Leon, the cunning strategist; Alex, the brute force; Isabelle, the master of illusions; Jax, the silent assassin; and finally, Electra, the one he cared about. They had taken everything from him – his life, his beasts, his reputation. Now, they would pay. His first priority was regaining his strength. And his beasts, the loyal companions who had fallen alongside him. Christopher couldn't afford to make the same mistakes he had made in his past life. He began his training, honing his physical abilities, pushing his body to its limits. He knew that raw power alone wouldn't be enough. Not only that, but he needed to be smarter, more cunning, more ruthless than his former disciples. So, Christopher delved into the Valhalla family's library, devouring ancient texts on beast taming, combat techniques, and strategic warfare, not really necessary, because of his memories, but you must always be prepared for anything. He sought out information on rare herbs and potions, anything that could give him an edge. He would make his former disciples regret the day they crossed him. Christopher Valhalla was not just a name; it was a promise. A promise of retribution. The five Master Beast Tamers would learn the true meaning of betrayal, and Christopher would be the one to deliver their punishment. No System to assist Mc. He gained all his Powers through making choices and countless battles!! _______________ Author's word, This Books will remain free till it clock 100 Chapters!

Born and raised in the Tail-Zone slums of Peacock District, Euri had one goal in life—a safe and stable corporate job. But the day he discovered the alien game infesting his miniscreen, that goal had to go through some modifications. While the entire human civilization on Planet Nen went to war against the superior lifeforms plaguing the extraterrestrial planes, Euri competed with them all for power by just playing this game! A side-gig that didn’t conflict with his dream of climbing the corporate ladder—how generous can fortune be to bequeath this opportunity to him? Transcending the spatial laws, transcending human notion of cultivation, transcending the rules of Cosmic Development Bureau, Euri began a series of crazy experiments that could perhaps destroy the millennia-spanning schemes of the most advanced civilizations controlling the macrocosm. When interrogated about this fiasco, Euri answered the way a perfect corporate slave should.  “Full credit for this goes to my boss, who provided me with the opportunity..."

WhatsApp: +1 (443) 859 - 2886 Email @ digitaltechguard.com Telegram: digitaltechguardrecovery.com Website link: digitaltechguard.com It all started in Toronto, Canada, when I fell victim to a highly sophisticated online scam involving a fake cryptocurrency mining pool hosted on a platform called Rednote. The scammers initially presented themselves as legitimate, promising incredible returns on investments, which led me to deposit a significant amount of money. They seemed convincing, and I felt secure in my decision. But trouble began when I tried to withdraw CAD 250,000 from my account. That's when they informed me that I needed to pay a "tax" to the Canada Tax Bureau before they could process the withdrawal. They claimed it was a legal requirement, and to proceed, I would have to pay 7% of the total amount, which they said would cover the necessary paperwork and taxes. Trusting their assurances, I transferred CAD 17,500 to cover the so-called tax fee. Once the payment was received, the scammers contacted me again, saying that due to my VIP status because I had over CAD 400,000 in my account I could only withdraw a minimum of CAD 400,000. Despite my request to withdraw a smaller amount, they insisted it was not possible. They claimed I could either pay more or lose access to any of my funds. Feeling cornered and desperate to retrieve at least part of my investment, I transferred another CAD 30,000, hoping this would be the final requirement. But the demands didn’t stop there. After receiving the second payment, the scammers came back with yet another request. This time, they claimed I needed to cover "administrative and security fees" totaling CAD 22,500 before my withdrawal could be completed. At this point, I was exhausted and confused, but I complied, hoping it would finally end. After sending the CAD 22,500, communication ceased completely. My funds were gone, and I realized I had been scammed. Feeling betrayed and devastated, I didn’t give up. I started searching online for any possible way to recover my money. After hours of research, I stumbled across a recovery service called Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Initially skeptical about the idea of a recovery service, I decided to take a chance and contacted them for help. They seemed professional and assured me they could help. To my surprise, within a few weeks, they managed to recover 95% of my lost funds. It was a huge relief, and I was incredibly grateful that I didn't give up. With the help of Digital Tech Guard Recovery, I got most of my money back and learned a valuable lesson about the dangers of online scams.

“Have you ever wished that a truck would hit you and you would transmigrate into a world filled with swords and magic? Perhaps you wished that you would be a hero, defeating the villains, protecting the land, and receiving all sorts of admiration and love from the people. I would give you one piece of advice. Perish that thought.” -Ravi West *** Ravi West was a hero of indisputable esteem. As a Sentinel, he traveled the Realms, killing villains and saving entire civilizations. His job was everything to him. Until Luxor. Luxor changed everything. Luxor changed him. Ravi was done. The tiredness etched into his bones. He laid down his mantle and vanished. He chose the most boring planet in his memory for his retirement, except this Earth was not like the one he remembered- Nests, monsters, superheroes, and villains filled the streets but that was not his business. He has a plan, a quiet, uncaring life filled with wine, food, and books. But the New Captain at the Bureau seemed to enjoy shattering all his carefully laid plans. He was the most annoying person Ravi had ever met, blonde hair, the most beautiful blue eyes, and a sunny smile, the righteous Arlen Sinclair constantly got involved in cases much bigger than him, dragging Ravi along into his Shenanigans. **** Grumpy, Cynic Shou who doesn't care if the world burns× Golden Retriever, Righteous Gong who is the first to bring the bucket to save the burning world. #Foundfamily #Sliceoflife, #crime, #mystery, #Superheros, #OverpoweredMc, #Protagonistfallsinlovefirst #MutualPampering #Powercouple #Superpowers #Cooking #Farming #yaoi #Detectives #Villains [This book is participating in the WSA contest] Disclaimer: The book cover to be taken down at owner's request.

As a small business owner in Florida, this seemed like a fantastic opportunity to help my business grow.

There's a secret scientific bureau full of mad scientists who’ve been trying for decades to send signals into outer space and get a response. One day, they wake up to find they’ve actually received a signal, but to interpret it, they first have to locate the signal itself. It turns out the signal was received by someone, and it could be “accidental” — one person out of 8 billion on Earth got it, and no one knows why. So, what do they do? The department pulls some strings, manages to cut the internet, and now the whole world is offline. No communication, and it's staying that way until they find out who caught the signal. Enter Evan Angelman, a pretty normal 22-year-old who wakes up to find this strange signal coming through his device. He's not tech-savvy, so he asks his genius best friend Levi for help. Levi figures out that the signal is from outer space, probably accidental, and warns Evan not to mess with it. The two of them eventually put it together and realize they’re probably the reason the internet got shut down and now they’re most definitely being hunted.

# The Rise from Despair: Qiao Nian's Journey of Redemption In the opulent confines of the Hou Mansion, Qiao Nian once reigned as the cherished pearl in the palm of everyone's hands for fifteen blissful years. Her life was a tapestry of love and privilege, surrounded by doting parents, an adoring elder brother, and a promising engagement to the renowned General Xiao, a hero who had achieved great military feats. But fate, with its cruel whims, had other plans. One fateful day, Qiao Nian's world came crashing down around her. She was abruptly informed that she was nothing more than a fake千金 (adopted daughter). In an instant, the love and affection that had been hers were snatched away and bestowed upon Lin Yuan. Her once-loving parents turned their backs on her, devoting all their attention to Lin Yuan. Her elder brother, driven by his infatuation for Lin Yuan, heartlessly pushed her down a small building. Even her fiancé, General Xiao, chose to side with Lin Yuan, leaving Qiao Nian alone and betrayed. For the sake of Lin Yuan, they all stood by indifferently as Qiao Nian was unjustly accused. Without a word of protest, they watched as she was punished and sent to the laundry bureau, where she endured three long years of servitude. Those three years were a living hell, filled with hardship, loneliness, and heartbreak. Day after day, night after night, she suffered in silence, her spirit slowly crushed under the weight of their betrayal. But just when it seemed that all hope was lost, a remarkable transformation occurred. Three years later, the tables turned in a most unexpected way. The Hou Ye and his wife, filled with remorse, fell to their knees before Qiao Nian, tears streaming down their faces. "Nian Nian, we were wrong. Please come home with us," they pleaded, their voices choked with regret. The arrogant young master of the Hou Mansion knelt outside her door for an entire night, his pride shattered. "Nian Nian, can you find it in your heart to forgive me?" he begged, his eyes filled with desperation. And General Xiao, the once-untouchable hero, approached her with wounds that bled both physically and emotionally. "Nian Nian, please have pity on me. Look at me one more time," he implored, his voice filled with pain. But Qiao Nian's heart, which had been broken into a million pieces during those three years of torment, was now as cold as ice. The love and trust that had once burned bright within her had been extinguished, replaced by a deep well of bitterness and resentment. "Pity? It would be better if I were dead and my ashes scattered to the wind," she thought, her heart hardened against their pleas. However, Qiao Nian's story didn't end in despair. In the midst of her darkest hour, she met a man who saw her for who she truly was and loved her unconditionally. With him by her side, she found a new lease on life, a happiness she had never dared to dream of. As Qiao Nian blossomed in her newfound happiness, those who had once wronged her could only watch from afar, filled with regret and longing. They were afraid to even approach her, for fear that in the years to come, they would lose even the chance to catch a glimpse of her from a distance. This is a story of betrayal and redemption, of heartbreak and hope. It is a tale that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster, from the depths of despair to the heights of joy. Join Qiao Nian on her journey as she rises from the ashes of her past and discovers the true meaning of love and happiness.
