WARNING: R18!!! Kirandel Astin Radley/Kirstin Radley, or just simply Kira, received another contract. Not an assassination, not a rescue, not planting bombs, and not stealing. She had never done this final contract before. Not even her sharp tongue was needed. Her contract was all about Brianna Jenkin. A gentle and kind girl. A filial daughter and a living saint, as most people believed her to be. Everything Kira wasn't. The only thing they had in common was their uncanny resemblance that could pass as identical twins. And Kira's contract was to be the living saint until Brianna woke up from her coma. And she'd get her billion deposit after the successful wedding with Dominick McIntyre. One of the hottest and wealthiest men alive on the continent. Now... why would she run away from her billions and the upcoming fucks? Might as well enjoy her temporary fairytale. ------- AN: Be ware of vulgarity, sexiness and sensitive cases.

"Tell me to stop, Ruth," he whispered, letting his minty breathe fan over my lips. He sounded desperate.. broken. As it has always been with us, the word 'stop' was on the tip on my tongue, but what came out was entirely different. Cupping his face between my hands, I swallowed the lump in my throat, unable to make myself fight him - or myself - anymore. It was a losing battle, anyways. Looking him straight in the eye, I whispered back, "don't stop, Caleb. Not now... Not ever." ****** At first glance, Ruth Brooke's new boss Caleb Cross gave the impression of an immature, flirty playboy. At second glance, her first impressions were unsurprisingly confirmed. But what was surprising was the absence of her usual reaction to a casanova. Instead of dismissing him for the sarcastic player that he was, Ruth unwillingly feels drawn to him. She has always judged a book by its cover. But she is soon to find out that Caleb Cross is someone who has a shiny, new cover on every page of his book. And it is up to her to peel it off and discover the real Caleb Cross in all his gore, without losing her heart in the process. // Hey readers! This is my first novel, so please bear with me.

In the Azure Phoenix Realm, Xu Qi, a normal telemarketer on Earth, found himself transmigrated into a body with a similar name as him. However, he found out that he had nothing of the usual golden finger or system that he often read in webnovels. Instead, he only has his talent honed from his job, his silver tongue that can make his customers buy his wares or his former girlfriends fall from his sweet nothings. With words as his tool, he carefully navigates the competitive world of cultivation. However, he might not be as helpless as he thought he would be as he discovered that his words were more effective with women. ---- Note: This delves more into the MC's interactions with different women than the cultivation world itself. But world-building won't be neglected. Just expect less action and more talking. Netori? Most likely. If you've read my other novel Stealing Spree, you'd know what to expect.
