My Second Marriage with the Mafia Kingpin

The life of the underworld was something Ashley had dreamed of escaping all her life. Born as a bastard from an affair between an underworld kingpin and a prostitute, Ashley was meant to die even before she was born. The only reason she survived was that her father thought she was a boy. From a young age, she understood that if she wanted to survive in this world of violence—on top of her father’s wife and daughter’s schemes—she had to be useful. So, she made herself a promise: one day, she would escape this world. Ashley almost succeeded… until her father found her again and thrust her into a marriage of convenience with his rival, Dominion, in his beloved daughter’s place. Everyone in the underworld knew Dominion. They were cruel, organized, and simply spawns of evil. And the man who stood above that power, Luciano, was said to be downright diabolical. Just their name alone could make anyone tremble. And this organization was where Ashley now had to survive. To make matters worse, the marriage also came with a child — Luciano’s mute heir. Forced to become the wife of one of the most violent and powerful underworld organizations, and the mother of its future leader, Ashley made a vow. “No matter what, I’ll escape this place!” But she would soon realize it wouldn’t be as simple as that. Not when the feared members of Dominion clung to her feet, begging, “Madam, don’t go!” And when the mute stepson finally spoke, “Mommy, if you’re leaving, please take me with you.” Finally, her diabolical, obsessive, and utterly territorial husband said, “I’ve packed our things. Where should we go?” *** Chat with me in Discord! Link: https://discord.gg/AUqYr3hchA Follow me on Instagram - @author_bajj

Rebirth in the 80s: Became a Stepmother and Pampered by My Husband

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......

Hustle Queen in the Harem: My Consort Won't Stop Grinding

Jiang Xian, the ultimate corporate overachiever at a top tech company, transmigrated. Before transmigrating, she had just sought help from a doctor for her anxiety: "I feel sick if I don't work overtime for a day, and I can't breathe properly if I take a day off. What should I do?" A friend asked: "Is your illness contagious? Come stay at my company for a while, and spread it around!" After transmigrating, she arrived in the slow-paced harem, where everyone was idle. She was going crazy from the lack of work! So she, without a second thought, started hustling like her life depended on it. * An anonymous concubine: In November, when the snow was heaviest in the Capital, Jiang Daying danced in the Plum Garden every single day! Good heavens, is it necessary to work yourself to death? Vying for favor is not something we, on our measly salary, should worry about. So that same year, Jiang Daying was promoted to the rank of Beauty, while she was still a lowly concubine. * Later, it was rumored that Consort Jiang had a bad relationship with her stepmother. After her stepmother gave birth to a son and came to the palace for an audience, the Lady gifted her a fifteen-character calligraphy piece to be hung over her step-brother's bed—Four thousand three hundred and seventy days until the imperial examination. * When it comes to making her presence known to the boss, Jiang Xian is a professional. Have you ever seen the harem at 3 AM? The concubines wake up at five, she at three: While the concubines were admiring flowers, gazing at the moon, watching plays, and gossiping, she was practicing dancing, singing, and her instruments, meticulously studying the big boss's preferences. Excelling in both professional skills and flattery, Jiang Xian believed that if she continued to roll like this, the boss would surely think of her first for promotions and raises. And the Emperor had seen countless methods of vying for favor. Yet, he truly only remembered Jiang Xian— This woman is so deeply in love with me!

Wolf-Raised Cub with a Space: Surviving the Disaster Years

After three long years of drought, the Cangyun Country finally welcomes the prophesied blessed girl—the one foretold by a Daoist priest to change the fate of the nation. But fate is cruel. The blessed girl, Shen Ningning, is stolen and abandoned in the deep mountains just after birth. Though she is later taken in by a kindhearted family, her days are filled with relentless verbal and physical abuse from a vicious aunt, pushing her to the brink of death. At last, unable to bear the sight any longer, a passing wolf pack carries the fragile child away—and from that moment on, she is fiercely cherished and protected. And little Ningning is no ordinary child. The wolves have nothing to eat? No problem. With billions of supplies stored in her interdimensional space, food and clothing are never in short supply. A long drought leaves rivers dry and crops withered? She simply summons the Spiritual Spring to nourish the entire mountain. Too poor and lacking money? One Spirit Grass fetches a thousand taels of gold, and wealthy merchants compete to buy from her. An enemy nation dares to invade? No need to worry—she quietly produces gunpowder and sends them flying into the sky. When a scheming “white lotus” tries to steal her identity as the blessed girl, her powerful birth family finally arrives. Her biological father—the Prime Minister—dotes on her without restraint and punishes the wicked without mercy. When asked about her dreams, Shen Ningning answers without hesitation: “To raise Langlang, earn lots of money, save lives, and crush scoundrels!” Meanwhile, the hot-tempered Crown Prince Mo Lingwei watches over her silently. “My dream,” he says, “is to protect my Ah Ning—even if it means giving up the entire kingdom.”
