The Billionaire I Hated: Shadows of Lies

Ike_Blessing
Esther Collins hates one man above all others—Gideon Cross, the ruthless billionaire who bought her father’s restaurant and left her family in ruins. When the bills for her sick mother’s care pile up, Gideon offers a brutal solution: marry him for eighteen months. Smile in public. Ask no questions. Walk away clean. Desperate, Esther signs the contract—and swears she will never forgive him. But nothing about the deal is what it seems. Her father isn’t dead. The crushing debt was never real. And the man she believed destroyed her life may actually be the only one protecting her. Because the real enemy has been beside her for years… wearing the face of someone she trusts. There’s also a hidden clause buried deep in the contract: if Esther falls in love with Gideon, she loses everything. Now Esther must choose—cling to the hatred that kept her strong, or trust the man who chose to be hated to keep her safe

Genshin Impact: I Wrote Fanfiction and Exposed the Secrets of the Gods

14-year-old socially awkward Lovia travels to Teyvat, but instead of a majestic Traveler, she becomes a rare species—a Melusine! Penniless and starving, this Melusine was on the verge of a pathetic end... until she decided to pull off a "literary heist"! Thus, "The Travels of Rex Lapis" was born, throwing Liyue Harbor into instant chaos! "This author truly understands the Lord of Geo!" "Is this considered blasphemy against the Emperor?" Zhongli held his teacup, lost in thought: "This perspective... hmm, quite novel." However, Lovia was just getting started: The name Morax conceals twin gods and a life-and-death pact. "The Lord of Geo and the Half-Price Bargain" The Agony of the Guardian Yakshas. The Secrets of Feiyun Commerce Guild. Dragonfall: I Am the Dragon King. The History of the Guizhong Altar: Wrath of the Gods. When her "fan fiction" accurately revealed the hidden truths of Liyue's legends, the entire nation was in turmoil! Finally, the socially awkward girl was found by a beautiful Melusine from Fontaine (her kin). "Sorry I'm late." The once lonely Lovia never imagined she would find a home. But years later, a distinguished guest with elegant features and amber eyes personally came to her door... Lovia (trembling): "Your Majesty... would you believe me if I said I made it all up?" Zhongli (putting down the book): "From a logical point of view, the story is quite intriguing. Perhaps we can... explore it in more depth?"
