Guan Xuxu was once regarded as a burden by the Guan family, discarded like trash, but she quickly transformed into a true heiress worth billions. The very people who had trampled on her now, seeing her success, shamelessly tried to claim half of the Jiang family’s fortune, citing their “parental love” as justification. Guan Xuxu showed no mercy. With a single talisman, she ruthlessly tore away their hypocritical masks. The heartless scumbag who once abandoned her tried to pursue her again, but Guan Xuxu, with a bit of manipulation, made him haunted by “ancestors” every night, scaring him out of his wits. Her cousins, who had once looked down on her and thought she had embarrassed the family, now found themselves on the receiving end of fate’s twists and turns. The head of the Song family, desperate to save his daughter, anxiously sought out the "Master Jiang," pleading for help and promising to pay any price. The Gu family, with whom the Jiang family had a longstanding grudge, also humbled themselves, seeking to please and offering to treat Master Jiang as their older brother in exchange for his help. Even her cousin, who had once been openly hostile, was completely convinced and became her loyal supporter, boldly declaring that anyone who dared to bully his sister would have their entire family cursed. At this point, the Jiang family finally realized that the once helpless Guan Xuxu, whom they had looked down upon, was actually a hidden master in the mystical arts. She was now busy exorcising spirits, drawing talismans, and saving lives, all while seeking out a "golden thigh" for support. At the right moment, Chu Golden Thigh Bei He appeared, saying, “No need to chase, it’s already yours,” and together they embarked on a journey of mutual strength, slapping everyone’s faces, and beginning their legendary journey of counterattack and success.

… “Is something wrong?” He sighed. He stayed quiet for a few seconds before he spoke. “I don’t think we should continue this partnership.” His tone sent chills down my spine.  “What do you mean?” I questioned. “Your feelings,” he said ‘feelings’ like the word disgusted him, “have changed and it no longer aligns with the agenda.” “How dare you? Who gave you information that helped get your company back from the Gulfs? Who was it that kept feeding you information about the Gulfs businesses. It was me.” I yelled, my tone no longer friendly.  I’d met Gabriel when he had recently lost his company to Christian. He was at the brink of bankruptcy and Christian had made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. He’d been stupid enough to sign a contract without reading it because he was desperate, and ended up losing more than they’d originally agreed. “Now that you have your precious company back and some shares in the Gulf enterprise you think you can dump me with a stupid excuse like our motives no longer align? Don’t you fucking dare. I own you.” I shook with rage, ending the call before he had a chance to reply to me. My rage immediately became fear when I turned around and saw Christian standing by the door in my room. “So you did take me up on my offer.” He was smiling, and the contrast in his words and demeanor only made me more afraid.

Blurb: The elevator’s lights flickered once—then twice—before everything went pitch black. A sharp metallic screech echoed as the car jerked violently, sending Mia tumbling to the floor, her breath catching in her chest. She barely had time to process what was happening before a deep, commanding voice cut through the darkness. "Stay down." Mia’s heart skipped a beat as she looked up to find herself face-to-face with the last person she ever expected to see: Elijah Blackwell, the enigmatic and ruthless billionaire CEO of Blackwell Enterprises. Cold, calculating, and untouchable, he was a man whose name commanded fear and respect. But there was no time for awe. The building’s alarms screamed in the distance, but it was the deafening thud of distant explosions that stole Mia’s attention. Her pulse shot into overdrive. The elevator began to tremble again, its descent rapid and uncontrollable, as if the very foundation of the tower were coming undone. “What’s happening?” she whispered, her voice strained. Elijah’s eyes, glinting even in the faint emergency lighting, met hers—dark, intense, and utterly unshaken. “We’re under attack. Stay close,” he said, the command in his voice unmistakable. Mia’s stomach dropped. Under attack? By whom? And why her? She was just a cleaner. But before she could question him further, the elevator lurched again, the cables creaking as they hurtled downward. Every second felt like an eternity, but Elijah stood still, his expression as unreadable as ever. This wasn’t fear in his eyes—it was something far more dangerous: control. As the elevator plummeted, Mia’s thoughts spiraled into chaos. She’d only come to work this morning to do her usual rounds, expecting nothing more than a monotonous day of dusting and cleaning up after the high-powered men and women who owned the building. But now, she was trapped in an elevator with the very man who controlled this empire—facing a threat she couldn’t even comprehend. A sudden burst of heat shot through the small space as another explosion rocked the building, shaking the walls. The emergency lights blinked erratically, casting eerie shadows over them. In that moment, Mia realized something unsettling: Elijah wasn’t just the billionaire CEO. He was the only person who could protect her now. But how far was he willing to go to keep them both alive? And more importantly, why did she suddenly feel drawn to him in ways she couldn’t explain? The air between them grew heavy with an attraction neither of them could ignore, but was it a dangerous distraction—one that could cost them both everything?
