Synopsis Esther Besson is a brilliant, kind-hearted, and determined young woman, raised within a powerful yet deeply united family. The only daughter of Alex Besson, an influential businessman, and Asaël, a strong and loving woman, Esther has always grown up surrounded by love, strong values, and high expectations. Trained from a very young age to one day take over the family business, she moves through life with calmness, intelligence, and remarkable maturity. When her parents entrust her with leading a strategic meeting abroad, Esther has no idea that this journey will turn her entire life upside down. What was meant to be a simple business merger becomes a political and emotional trap: the family company must unite with that of the Arrisons, led by Jon Arrison, her father’s longtime best friend. But the real shock comes from Tony Arrison. Cold, distant, arrogant, and mysterious, Tony is the heir to the Arrison empire. Forced by his father to marry Esther in order to ensure the continuity and stability of the company, he accepts an arranged marriage he never chose. Esther, on her side, discovers that this engagement is the only way to protect her family and her future, after being betrayed by Malik, the man she thought she loved—manipulated by his father’s hatred and thirst for revenge. Trapped in an agreement that goes far beyond them, Esther and Tony find themselves bound by an imposed alliance filled with silence, tension, and confrontation. He shields himself behind a wall of ice. She responds with dignity, respect, and a quiet strength that gradually disarms every attack. In a world where business dictates feelings, where alliances are sealed through marriage, and where past grudges threaten the future, Esther must learn to make a choice: submit to her destiny or transform it. What if this forced marriage, born of constraint and conflict, were to slowly become a place of rebirth, healing… and perhaps an unexpected love?

At the age of twenty-seven, Yan Hanxie began eating vegetarian food, chanting scriptures, and wearing Buddhist prayer beads. Rumors spread throughout the company that the female CEO had taken refuge in Buddhism. Only Zong Yi knew— Last night, when this “devout” believer forced whisky down her throat in a bar. How heavy the pressure of the Buddhist beads on her wrist had been as they pressed against the back of Zong Yi’s neck. “Director Zong,” Yan Hanxie rubbed her alcohol-scented lips against the tip of her ear, “tell me… would it be alright if I broke a precept tonight?” Zong Yi expressionlessly pulled out the hem of her shirt that had been pinned down. “President Yan, this is already the tenth time you’ve ‘broken a precept’ this month.” “And besides,” she lifted her eyes to the sandalwood beads swaying on the other woman’s wrist, “does the Buddha know you use consecrated ritual objects to tie people’s wrists? — Disclaimer: All rights to the original content belong to their respective creators Original Name：晏总的追妻之路不漫长 Author: 叶灵秋月

I didn't ask to wake up as Drizella Tremaine—Cinderella's infamous, "wicked" stepsister. I certainly didn't ask for a crushing mountain of family debt, a magical curse forcing me to act like a villain, or a dangerously observant Crown Prince who keeps showing up at my secret warehouse. The fairy tale script demands that I humiliate my sweet stepsister and eventually cut off my own toes to fit into a glass slipper. But I’m a modern woman with a mind for business, and I refuse to be a pawn in someone else's story. I'm not going to bully Cinderella; I'm going to teach her how to run a monopoly. I'm not going to fight for the Prince's affection; I'm going to leverage him for trade routes. You don't need a glass slipper when you own the entire shoe empire.

But the woman running this shop is not truly from this world.

A possessive mythical demon king who constantly tempts her through lust. A Commander who looks like her first love from the other world. A prince who wishes to give her the entire kingdom just to be with her. However, romance is the least of her interests. Accomplishing her goals is her priority. Anything else is secondary. She has but three primary goals. First, Revenge against her mother, who abandoned her as a baby. Second, Making Firearms the most used weapon And third, find a way back home and settle the score with her comrades and superiors who betrayed her. To accomplish these goals, she will put a fake smile on her face, she will help her enemies, she leads men into giving them false hope of romance, and she destroys everything in her path without a hint of mercy.

But the life she inherits could not be more different. Once the beloved daughter of a city lord, this Megrie lost everything after her father died of a mysterious illness.

The Unquiet Life of a Webnovel Writer Jennifer is 40, tired, and ready for a quiet life. But one Saturday afternoon, her landlady asks, “Do you believe we are all products of someone else’s stories?” Suddenly, every unfinished wish-fulfillment fantasy Jennifer ever published starts moving into her apartment building. An 18-year-old stud of an alpha werewolf? Nah, his Alpha Dad is definitely hotter. A golden-haired prince on a white horse? Wth, why was the horse in her lobby? And she distinctly remembers writing him a tsundere Duke of an Uncle. Now the world is bending to accommodate her webnovels. “Why are all of you here, and why are you so inconvenient?” And out of the blue, her childhood friend—older, wiser, and back from abroad—wants to pick up where they left off decades ago. “I’m very sure I didn’t write you.” Oh, and the alien invasion outside her building? Yeah, she shouldn't have started the sci-fi LitRPG. Now the world is about to end. Jennifer is very, very sorry. Author’s Notice Regarding Narrative Deviations This is a formal notice to inform all readers that the current story has deviated significantly from its originally stated premise. The initial scope of the work included, but was not limited to: • Alpha werewolves requiring pack management • Interpersonal dynamics within supernatural hierarchies • The occasional prince dropping out of college Said scope did not include: • Extraterrestrial involvement • Global-scale invasions • Alien roaches of any size or classification The author acknowledges that such developments may be unexpected. An apology is hereby issued for any confusion, emotional distress, or genre whiplash caused by these unforeseen circumstances. In response to anticipated inquiries: Q: “How were these events unforeseen? Aren’t you the author?” A: The author maintains that she is, to the best of her knowledge, the author. However, narrative control appears to be, at present, a collaborative and loosely regulated process. Characters have demonstrated a tendency to: • Act independently • Escalate situations without approval • Introduce plot elements of questionable necessity (see: alien roach invasion) Readers are therefore advised that: 1. The narrative may continue to evolve unpredictably. 2. Genre boundaries are to be considered flexible. 3. Any resemblance to a “cosy romcom” is purely coincidental at this stage. By continuing, readers agree to accept the story in its current form, including all action, sci-fi elements, romantic developments, dramatic turns, and general chaos. Thank you for your understanding. — katisnow (provisionally in control) Footnotes [1] For readers seeking narratives that are marginally more well-behaved, you may refer to the author’s other works. While no guarantees are made, some stories have thus far refrained from introducing alien species without prior notice. [2] “Well-behaved” is a relative term and may still include emotional damage, questionable life choices, and dramatic plot twists. [3] The author accepts no responsibility if said “better-behaved” stories also spiral unexpectedly. Historical precedent suggests this is a non-zero possibility.

Aurora Waters was overwhelmed with despair when she faced the truth about her family. She had been born into a family of villains. Even worse, her family had an unhealthy obsession with faking their identities. They took “Fake it till you make it” so seriously that it usually ended with them getting killed! Her oldest brother pretended to be a CEO just to mess with the female lead, but that backfired when the male lead showed up and threw him out. Her second brother? He was an obsessive lover who pretended to be a wealthy second-generation heir—until the real heir ended his life. Her third sister? She faked being an heiress to manipulate the second male lead but ended up being killed by him. Her fourth sister? She faked an illness to attract the third male lead’s attention, only to die from a real one. Her mother? She put on a facade of being a kind and loving mom but ultimately met her end at the hands of the male lead. Her father? He pretended to be a powerful tycoon but lost his job and was drowned by the second male lead. And Aurora? She planned to impersonate the daughter of the richest man alive, but if things went the way they always did in her family, she’d probably meet her end by accidentally falling down the stairs. However, there was one glimmer of hope in this nightmare: she had a 100% rebate system that rewarded her for spending money on her family! [Beep! You bought an eraser worth 1 dollar for your eldest brother! 2 dollars have been credited to your bank account!] [Beep! You bought a candy worth 1 dollar for your second brother! 2 dollars have been credited to your bank account!] Aurora’s eyes sparkled as an idea took shape. She began spending on her family like crazy to rake in cash. [Beep! You gave a bun worth 20 dollars to your childhood crush! 100 dollars has been credited to your bank account!] Aurora: …! That’s walking money! What Aurora didn't expect, though, was that she would end up becoming one of the technology big shots herself, in the end.
