It's normal for someone who works as a turtle to know how to tell...

{ COMPLETED } It's free so please add it to your collection ❤ Xu Gui's biggest regret in this life was that she was too lazy to retract into her turtle shell during her tribulation. When she opened her eyes again, she had gone from a turtle to a minor celebrity in the entertainment industry, facing a death sentence on the reality show "360 Trades"—the show lasted for one month, and the invited celebrities needed to find work and work hard to earn money. After one month, the person who earned the most money would be the final winner. And in front of Xu Gui, a mountain of dirty dishes was soaking in dish soap foam, grinning at her. Xu Gui pulled out a fortune-telling banner she had hastily made overnight, the large, bold characters in ink flowing like dragons and phoenixes— "Fortune-telling!" Under the overpass, three fortune-telling stall owners sneered at the young woman: "Are celebrity hype stories this outrageous these days?" * Faced with three bald, middle-aged men with grown sons, she asked about her children. "Your destiny palace indicates no children, and the Red Phoenix Star above your head carries a green light..." the young woman subtly advised, "Why don't you go to the hospital for a checkup?" That very night, news of a group chairman's marital breakdown went viral. Facing a young woman who ostensibly told fortunes but secretly boasted about her husband's generosity, Xu Gui tentatively asked, "...Is it possible that this bankbook you have is fake?" The entire internet watched, and the bankbook was indeed handwritten; the dowry of three million was actually only three hundred. At first, netizens scoffed at Xu Gui's money-making live streams. But later... netizens exclaimed: "It's so good!" The live stream chat went from "Get out of the entertainment industry, you charlatan!" to "Master, can you tell if I'm some rich kid who's fallen into poverty?" Xu Gui's live stream went from being ignored to becoming the most popular. Gradually, countless people started offering money to have Xu Gui tell their fortunes. Xu Gui slumped in his wicker chair, swinging his legs: "Three fortunes for today are done. Please come back tomorrow." The production team lamented: "The other guests are all serving food and handing out flyers, how could you..." The camera panned across the top of the donation leaderboard, and the production team fell silent.

His wife, Princess Angelica Stromridge wed him for convenience before he left for war. Their marriage lacked affection and was rife with misunderstandings from the start. From name-calling to accidental letters leading to further misconception. During his absence, Angelica played the dutiful wife, sacrificing to maintain the household, being the lovely princess and wonderful daughter in law, only to face his return with another woman whom the entire kingdom agreed was more beautiful than she was! Will she divorce or fight for his love, a love that clearly never existed in the first place? Will she clear the misunderstandings and surmount the obstacles or will it be a post-marriage love story or an ex-wife tale full of regret? Excerpt |||| "My princess..." called a maid, knocking on the door her hand trembling. "Come in." replied Angelica as the door opened hearing footsteps approaching. "What are you doing here? I gave stern orders for no one to disturb me for the entirety of the day." her austere voice rang out. "I... I know my princess... please forgive me... I... I did not mean to disturb you but... this is something very important." "Let's have it then." replied Angelica closing the book she had been reading as she laid eyes on the maid. The maid gulped, the fear evident in her eyes, she did not know how Angelica would react to the severely bad news she had brought with her, however, one thing was sure, Angelica would not react lightly at all. "My... m...y prince...ss the..." said the maid, causing Angelica to sigh in annoyance, rolling her eyes, she had better things to do than sit here listening to the maid's mumbling. "Yes, say it." said Angelica giving the maid a hand. "My princess, the crowned prince has returned." said the maid. "Oh... well that's nice... I guess I will see him later, or better yet tomorrow. There is no rush, I am sure he is swarmed by crowds at the moment." replied Angelica lazily, she really had no intention of moving from this spot. "But my princess... ther— " "Oh, you're right, it would be unacceptable if I did not come out to greet him, rumours would certainly ensue and the kingdom would be in serious hysteria as they always are." replied Angelica annoyed. "Yes, you are right, I should go and welcome him back home." said Angelica as she stood up and yawned. "My princess... that is not all, there is something else..." said the maid. "And what is that?" asked Angelica as the maid's eyes darted around the room, she did not know what to do, or how best to put this. "My princess... the... the crowned prince has truly returned but..." said the maid with a prolonged pause. "But what?" asked Angelica, her senses tingling, she had a inking that there was something wrong from the maid's strange behaviour. "But his highness..." paused the maid. "Out with it now!" said Angelica sternly. "His highness has returned with a strange woman and the rumours claim that she is his new wife!" spat out the maid as Angelica suddenly felt lightheaded and she fell back down on the chair. "My princess!" cried the maid as she rushed to her. "This is some sort of farce." said Angelica as the maid proceeded quickly to fan her with a cloth. "No my princess... it is true." replied the maid. "This is impossible. Ian must be mad, I am going to see this display of stupidity for myself!" said Angelica hotly, quickly rising up and storming out of the room as the poor maid followed behind her. ||||

What's Wrong With Being An Omega Nanny?

Elias winced, his frail body trembling as Viktor pinned his wrists above his head, the mafia boss's broad frame caging him against the cold kitchen wall. The scent of gunpowder and Viktor's Alpha Pheromones... dark, like smoked cedar... flooded Elias's senses, making his knees weak. His suppressants were failing, his vanilla Omega scent slipping through, and Viktor's grey eyes burned with something dangerous. "Sir... you... You told me to stay away from your..." Elias stammered, his voice a shaky whisper. "Shh," Viktor growled, his lips brushing Elias's ear, sending a shiver down his spine. "Not another word, Elias." Elias shut his eyes, heart pounding, as Viktor's grip tightened, the heat of his body igniting a forbidden spark that could ruin them both. 'How the hell did it get to this?' .

Will it be too late for both of them?

Roulette Heiress of the Alumin Kiss

Every society season begins the same way: with The Golden Choice, the first grand celebration hosted by the Mamtho family. The tradition is ancient, spanning realms and centuries, and no matter where you stand in the Peachrealms, the season doesn't truly begin until their doors open. This year, that responsibility falls squarely on Veronica Mamtho-forge-born heiress, reluctant social figure, and the last person eager to deal with polished suitors and their convenient ambitions. Romance is hardly appealing anymore; the last time she pursued someone, they nearly gave away her entire fortune to charity. It would've been fine... if they hadn't handled it in the dumbest way imaginable. Now, with nobles and dignitaries arriving from across the realms, Veronica is caught in a whirlwind of rivalry, flirtation, whispered bargains, and the kind of drama that never stays quiet for long. The Golden Choice may glitter, but beneath its shine lies ambition, temptation, and more than one opportunity for disaster. And The Golden Choice is only the beginning. The season ahead will pull Veronica deeper into the shifting politics and hidden corners of the Peachrealms-where alliances form, secrets sharpen, and danger often arrives wearing a very charming smile. Some connections will tempt her. Others will challenge her. A few may alter her future entirely. Welcome to Roulette Heiress of the Alumin Syndicate. The season has begun. And nothing about it will stay polite for long.
