Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace

For money, Jin Jumo "signed" herself to the business tycoon Rong Mochen, for a period of one year. Upon their first meeting, the man's voice was icy, "I like women who keep their place, understand?" "Yes." Jin Jumo nodded lightly. So, Jin Jumo always adhered to her place, tightly locking her heart away, never crossing the line. If there was anything in her relationship with Rong Mochen that Jin Jumo hadn't anticipated, it would be... --- "Mr. Rong, our contract expired a week ago." Jin Jumo lightly curved her lips, giving a smile that didn't reach her eyes as she looked at the man in front of her. "So?" "So, Mr. Rong, are you playing rogue now?" Jin Jumo gritted her teeth. "Hmm..." Rong Mochen frowned, leisurely raising his head to look at Jin Jumo, "Is my daughter behaving well in your belly?" "It's not even two months, how do you know it's definitely a daughter..." Wait... Jin Jumo's eyes widened in terror, she hadn't told him she was pregnant... Rumor had it, a car accident targeting Z City tycoon Rong Mochen resulted in the death of a seven-month-pregnant woman. Rumor had it, after the accident, the Rong Family's president underwent a drastic change, becoming ruthless and fierce from being coldly indifferent. Rumor had it, the person killed in the accident was the person closest to Rong Mochen's heart. --- Four years later. "Brother, do we really need to find a new boyfriend for Mommy?" The little bun bit his chubby fingers, looking at the little boy beside him who was slightly taller. "Yes." The boy squinted, his gaze coldly fixed on the televised global sensation of the Rong Family's president's luxurious engagement ceremony. "But didn't Brother say that the old man named Rong is our real dad?" Jin Jumo, who had just stepped into the house, was nearly collapsing inside. How did the two little guys know Rong Mochen was...

The Divorce Lawyer Who Married The Enforcer

"Sign the contract, counselor. Or I burn everything you built." Zara Cole has one rule: marriages end. She has spent six years in the most brutal divorce courts in New York City tearing apart the unions of the corrupt, the powerful, and the cruel. She does not believe in love. She does not believe in loyalty. She believes in evidence, leverage, and exit clauses. Then Don Moreno calls in a debt she never knew she owed. Two rival crime families are at war. The Ricci family and the Moreno family have been bleeding each other dry for three years while a third enemy, the Calabrese syndicate, waits to swallow them both. The only way to stop the war is a merger. And a merger, in the world of organized crime, is sealed with a marriage. The Morenos choose Zara. Not because she is innocent. Because she is already theirs. Her new husband is Dante Ricci. Thirty-four years old. The most feared enforcer in the city. A man who has never once raised his voice because he has never needed to. He does not believe in love. He believes in results. And right now, the result required is a wife. What Zara does not expect is that someone will try to kill her three days into the marriage. What she does not expect is that Dante will become something terrifying when he is angry on her behalf. What she does not expect is that the man who does not believe in love will stand between her and a bullet without flinching. And what Dante does not expect is a woman who fights him in every room, outthinks him at every turn, and refuses to be afraid of him. A woman who uses the marriage contract itself as a weapon. A woman who is quietly, carefully, and completely destroying him. She built her career on endings. He has never let anything end without his permission. Together they are either the city's greatest power couple or its most catastrophic war. One of them will have to change their mind about love. The other will have to change their mind about control. The real question is which one breaks first.

After Rebirth, I Became The Queen Of Utopia In The Beast World

#BEASTTAMING #BLOODLINE #ADVENTURE Rebirth after death is already a miracle… But rebirth as a rabbit, the prey of both low-rank and high-rank beasts? Now that’s not even luck, that’s punishment. Linda Ein is born again—but in the Beast World—as a tiny, fluffy, high-value snack in a world full of predators. She discovers that the beastmen here suffer from a strange disorder that makes them shift uncontrollably between human and beast depending on their emotions, instincts, stress, or even random habits. They have no idea why this happens. But they assume it’s because their world lacks females, and that various mates for each of them will magically “fix” everything. Unfortunately for Linda and fortunately for them, Linda—now a rabbit—is the rarest female they’ve ever seen.  But Linda had one advantage no other creature had: in her previous life, she came from a family of generational zoologists, people who studied animals and passed it down to their offsprings the way other families passed down carpentry or smithing. She knew animal behavior, instincts, patterns, tricks. And this Beast World was simply… a very large, very chaotic research site. So when the beastmen begged her to stay, she lifted her rabbit ears and declared: “Perfection begins with giving me my own house.” “Done!”
“I need a store too. Beside it.” “Done!” “And… a generous supply of carrots delivered regularly. Two trucks a week isn’t bad.” “…..Done!” “Also, someone please tell that 1000-year-old flying snake to stop circling my roof.” “…” Suddenly, beastmen of all tribes are lining up, begging her…. “Queen Rabbit, please stay with me so I can stabilize!” “Me too!” “I want your presence too!” “Queen Rabbit, choose me!” Linda raises a paw. “Enough. I hear you. But this Queen Rabbit is a STEPMOTHER now so,….”
