family

They gave her ruins. She built a home. After a brutal betrayal by her boyfriend and best friend ends in a fatal accident, Qin Lian wakes up inside a novel, as the fake daughter of the Qin family. Discarded overnight after the real daughter returns, she is forced to swap engagements and marry a rumored old pig farmer from the countryside who already has three children. Everyone mocks her fate. “Wasn’t she the arrogant, spoiled brat of the Qin family? Look at her now.” “She stole Mu Rouyu’s life for years. This ending suits her perfectly.” “Married to an old man with three children? Her life is finished.” They expect Qin Lian to spend the rest of her life buried in mud and regret, becoming a vicious stepmother trapped in a loveless marriage, while Mu Rouyu takes back everything that should have belonged to her. But the moment Qin Lian steps into that village… the story begins changing. Because the rumored old pig farmer is not old at all, but a dangerously handsome former soldier with broad shoulders, a cold face, and eyes that soften only for his wife. The children who were supposed to fear her slowly begin clinging to her side. The miserable life everyone expected never comes. Instead, while others wait for Qin Lian to fail, she quietly rises higher and higher, building businesses, earning wealth, and becoming someone even influential figures cannot ignore. And the people who once mocked her? They can only watch in disbelief as the discarded fake daughter becomes the most successful person among them all. Meanwhile, Mu Rouyu slowly realizes something she never expected. Even after taking back her identity… She still cannot win against Qin Lian. Especially when the man, once meant to stand beside Mu Rouyu, can’t stop looking at Qin Lian instead. But Qin Lian no longer cares about the people who betrayed her once before. This time, she won’t beg for love. She won’t fight for approval. And she certainly won’t lose. Because while they were waiting for her life to fall apart… Qin Lian was already building a life everyone else could only envy. .....Excerpt...... “Rouyu, your fiancé treats you so well.” “No wonder so many girls envy you and Officer Lin.” Surrounded by flattering voices, Mu Rouyu smiled faintly and glanced at the gold ring inside the counter. “Miss, this one is 480 yuan.” Her fingers paused. Too expensive. The saleswoman’s smile faded slightly as she quietly placed the ring back down. Mu Rouyu’s expression stiffened. Just then, the jewelry store doors opened. “Mom! That necklace is beautiful!” Mu Rouyu froze instantly. Qin Lian walked in beneath the crystal lights, three beautiful children surrounding her while the tall man beside her carried a cold, imposing aura that instantly drew attention. One of the girls whispered, stunned, “Who’s that man?” “So handsome…” Mu Rouyu’s fingers tightened. Wasn’t Qin Lian supposed to be suffering in the countryside? Qin Lian glanced at the necklace and shook her head lightly. “Forget it. It’s too expensive.” “Wrap it,” the man beside her said calmly. Qin Lian frowned. “Xu Yinchen.” “If you like it, why not buy it?” Then Mu Rouyu noticed something even worse. Lin Chengyan wasn’t looking at her anymore. His gaze was fixed entirely on Qin Lian, the regret in his eyes impossible to hide. ......xxxxx......

Raven Young thought that after completing her final mission, she would finally leave the organization and live a peaceful life. But what happens when that very mission turns out to be the first one she ever fails? You run. Yes—and so did Raven. Not to save herself, but to escape the people chasing her, pushing her to the very edge… until she had no choice but to jump off a cliff, hoping against hope to survive. But fate had other plans. When Raven opened her eyes, she realized she was alive… but not in her own body. She had woken up as Ivy—the very woman who had caused her mission to fail. And as if that wasn’t enough, a father and son pair refused to let her go. The man kept her close for reasons of his own, his motives unclear and unsettling. Meanwhile, the child clung to her, refusing to leave her side, determined to keep his “parents” together—and even dreaming of having a sibling. “God… just what in the world has happened?” Raven had never felt so betrayed by life. But living in Ivy’s body begins to unravel secrets—truths that entangle their lives in ways she cannot escape. And the man who keeps her close? Little by little… he begins to drive her insane with his undeniable charm. *** Ivy’s breath hitched as Xander stepped closer, closing the space between them. “Still pretending you’re unaffected?” he murmured. Her back met the wall, but she didn’t move away. “You assume too much.” “Do I?” His fingers brushed her wrist, slow, deliberate, sending warmth through her veins. Her grip tightened on his shirt, betraying her. “Tell me to stop,” he whispered. She didn’t. The silence thickened, charged and fragile. His gaze dropped to her lips, waiting—giving her the choice. And when she didn’t pull away, the tension between them deepened into something far more dangerous and the next thing they new was they were already kissing.

And this time, walking away may no longer be an option. ___ Excerpt: For a second, Sienna just stared at her phone as if it had suddenly become a magical object. Her mind felt slow, like it was wrapped in soft cotton, and her head leaned slightly to one side as she processed the voice. “Wow… wow…” she whispered, her lips curving into a wide, delighted smile. “Mr. Handsome Zach, it’s you…” There was a brief pause. “Yes, it’s me,” Zachary replied, though now his tone carried a clear trace of confusion. “Sienna… are you drunk?” “Wow, I'm surprised! Mr. Dangerous-for-my-sanity, you accepted my call…” she continued instead, completely ignoring his question. Then she laughed. It wasn’t her usual quiet laugh.

On the other end, Zachary stayed silent for a moment, clearly trying to understand what exactly was happening. “Sienna,” he said again, more firmly this time, “where are you now?”
