To Love Oneself

Lucia Scott’s life takes an unexpected turn when she’s forced to honor her late parents’ wish: to marry Malcolm Sterling, the heir to one of the wealthiest families in England. Their fates were intertwined long before the tragic accident that claimed both Malcolm’s father and Lucia’s parents. But neither of them wants this marriage. Malcolm, still recovering from heartbreak after being betrayed by his first love, Stephanie Young, hides his vulnerability behind a ruthless demeanor. His bitterness deepens when Lucia boldly declares she would rather kiss a monkey than ever fall in love with him. Resentful, Malcolm lays down seven rules for their marriage, and his constant comparisons to Stephanie only fuel Lucia’s growing hatred for him. Despite their mutual animosity, Malcolm’s mother, Dorothy, and his younger sisters, Meredith and Alice, take an immediate liking to Lucia. They shower her with love and support, firmly standing by her side and preferring her over Stephanie, who they believe is unworthy of their family. Their unwavering loyalty gives Lucia a sense of belonging, even as she endures Malcolm’s cold treatment. Just when Malcolm and Lucia begin to let their walls down and consider giving their fragile relationship a chance, Stephanie returns with a vengeance. Through cunning manipulation, she frames Lucia, shattering the tenuous trust between her and Malcolm. With Stephanie still holding the deepest part of Malcolm’s heart, their marriage crumbles. Now, Malcolm must face a harsh truth: he was wrong. But when he realizes his mistake and seeks to make amends, he’s met with a cold reality—Lucia wants nothing more to do with him. With Dorothy, Meredith, and Alice firmly on her side, will Lucia find the strength to move on, or will Malcolm fight against the odds to win back the woman he pushed away?

Transmigrated into a novel she dropped was never on Qi Jianyi’s bucket list. She could still remember how she deleted the novel on her phone after reading the first 30 chapters of the book.  “A book full of bullshit.” She cursed before going to sleep.  Never in a million years would she have thought that one day, she would be pulled into a novel she hated. All Qi Jianyi could think of was trying to look for a way home while ignoring the plot of the novel.  But where does she start? No, does she really have the time to think about it after the appearance of an annoying man who keeps pestering her?  Qi Jianyi could not forget her first impression of that man. He was as cold as ice, but had a fiery temperament. Those beautiful eyes of his had once captured Qi Jianyi’s attention.  But the young miss of the Qi family was too busy looking for a way home.

I didn’t even know I was capable of feeling this way, but I do. I love you! I love you so much that the thought of losing you terrifies me. It suffocates me. And yet… you’re not even mine.” - Song Chengfeng "Loving me only ruins you. So stop!" - Qi Jianyi
