Your Mr Grinch

A woman flipped through a magazine, a rare spark of interest flickering in her usually indifferent eyes, "Hey, hubby, look, you and I made it onto the same ranking list." A man raised an eyebrow, "Oh, what list?" "The global top ten dream lovers for women, you're first, and I'm fifth!" "......" His power and wealth were overwhelming, his status was noble, and his demeanor was both brutal and ruthless. She was carefree and unruly, free-spirited and unconstrained, standing apart from the world, cold and indifferent. He loved her deeply and she cherished him to the bone, lovers who should have been able to have a perfect life.

Sold to the highest bidder to pay off a blood feud, I never imagined I would be the pawn in my father's fatal game. Still, here I am before Enzo De Luca, the most vicious mafia leader in the city. Though appealing, he is cold, deliberate, and as lethal. Though my heart races just from his proximity, it is his touch that ignites me. My body betrays me and reacts to him in ways I am powerless over. And I melt as he softly, commandingly says my name. Enzo loves neither me nor another. In his deadly kingdom, I am only another bargain, another transaction. But every time we are alone, the conflict between us snaps—desire becomes a terrible addiction. Although I detest him for everything he stands for, I yearn for the way he consumes me, body and soul. He has made it quite evident—our marriage is more about power than love. Still, every angry gaze and every snatched moment in the shadow reveals something different. Benevolent underneath his icy façade lies something broken that appeals to the darkest sides of me. But depending on a man like Enzo may mean losing everything. Bound to him now, for better or worse, I am caught in a world where loyalty is brittle and treachery carries a bullet. Our friendship gets more perilous the more truths about his empire I find. And as the past calls for us, I have to question myself: will our passion be the thing that ruins us both or can I survive loving a guy like Enzo De Luca? Burning in his arms is me. But in his universe, I could roast alive.

And when his eyes open again, a forest greets him as searing pain jolts him wide awake as on the back of his right hand is a branded symbol of a shield. What happened? Where is he?

In her past life, Lu Yao was caught in a bloody war between two families, but was tricked into sleeping with a stranger, getting pregnant and killed with her child still in her belly. Returning from the dead, she took her pregnancy report and strutted to the Zhan family's mansion, yelling, ""Zhan Jinghong!"" Zhan Jinghong was the eldest son of the Zhan family, a super-rich family in the capital. He was known to be ruthless, handsome, volatile, and detached. However, no matter how callous he was, surely, he would admit his own mistakes...? Slamming the pregnancy report on the table, Lu Yao snapped: Take responsibility! Zhan Jinghong: Who are you? Lu Yao: A month ago, in room 1301 of Hotel Million Peaks, we did it on the bed, on the balcony, by the window, and in the bathroom. Don't tell me you don't remember. Zhan Jinghong: ...?! Later on, news that Zhan Jinghong was getting married spread throughout the capital, and his bride was alleged to be the illegitimate daughter of the Lu family, recently recognized. The capital was certainly left in shock by the news, but they were all waiting for a quick divorce and for Lu Yao to make herself a laughing stock, since no one believed she could hold the throne as a matriarch.

Someone said that my marriage won't be a happy one... Zhan Jinghong: Who said that? I'll tear his mouth off!

She didn't dare to imagine what would happen if they caught her. Under the pitch-black night sky, Qin Miaomiao clung to the man and refused to let go. Finally, he got rid of the men who were coming after her. She was about to thank him and ask him if he wanted anything in return... When he pushed her against the wall and kissed her passionately. As soon as Qin Miaomiao woke up, she fled. Five years later, she returned in a low-profile manner to the country. The renowned Mr. Lu of the Lu family enthusiastically asked her to be his daughter-in-law. Qin Miaomiao smiled apologetically before pointing at her child. "I already have a child. You should probably call off the engagement." Mr. Lu seemed determined still. "That's even better. It's like buying something and getting something else for free. Besides, my sorry excuse of a son probably can't give you any children." "Huh?" Lu Shiyan was confused. At night, Lu Shiyan cornered Qin Miaomiao in front of the house. He asked drunkenly, "Tell me. Who made you pregnant?" Qin Miaomiao stared at Lu Shiyan's face and replied mischievously, "He's dead." After getting the paternity test results, Lu Shiyan pulled Qin Miaomiao into his arms. "Baby, I'm sorry. Will you forgive me?"
