Three rejections. Three shattered dreams. That was Layla’s reality, all because she was different—a half-shifter in a world obsessed with purity. Ostracized, shunned, and finally sold off like a pawn to the most feared ruler alive—the Lycan King. He was ruthless, a king with a graveyard of brides, each one a ghostly reminder of a fate worse than death.Layla loathed him. Hated the way his gaze cold and fathomless, held no warmth for her. Hated how his touch, both thrilling and terrifying, sent an uninvited chill down her spine.---“I hate you!” I screamed, hands clenched so tight my knuckles ached.He sighed, a smirk curling at the edge of his lips, his tone mocking as he closed his book with a deliberate snap. “Stressed, are we?” he asked, strolling toward me, each step reminding me exactly who held the power here.“Lucky for you,” he drawled, rolling up his sleeves as he stopped just inches away, “I know exactly 70 ways to ease those nerves.” His fingers brushed my cheek, a touch that seemed to burn into my skin. “The first… a hug.” His voice dropped to a rough whisper as he leaned in, breath hot against my ear. “And the rest... well, that's 69? what do you say about that?”I swallowed hard, my heart thudding wildly as he tilted his head, waiting for me to react, that insufferable smirk still in place.“What’s the matter, darling?” he murmured, a taunt lingering in his gaze.---A Dangerous ObsessionCan she resist the pull, or will she dance into the flames of her own destruction?A dark dive into obsession, raw need, and the razor’s edge between desire and devastation.---LYCAN KING CASSIANI will tear her apart piece by piece, feeding the wildfire that grips her with each shuddered breath. Like air to flame, I’ll claim every inch, drawing heat from her skin until it sinks into her bones.Her pulse will race under my hands, her breaths shallow, pleading. Her eyes may scream, but her lips will still murmur my name. That first taste of fear will only feed something deeper—a need that burns through her veins, molten and fierce.And just when she’s too far gone to turn back, I’ll twist the knife, giving her the pain she’s learned to crave.She’ll be the moth to my flame, helpless against the very thing that will consume her.

Between a woman and a man, she wants to eat him, he wants to overwhelm her story!
Introduction:
Su Jinnian, the eldest lady of the Su family, is the legal heir of the ASC Group.
Three years ago, in order to save her sister who was being raped, she “missed” and killed someone, so she had to go abroad to avoid the limelight.
Three years later, the drama repeated itself, but this time the protagonists of the upside-down became her and a strange man.
Facing the beautiful naked man who was eaten up, Su Jinnian fled in a hurry, but unexpectedly three days later——
“Ajin, this is the mayor’s young master, Master Anxi Rongan.”
“Pfft—!”
【Highlight Part 1】
The highest level of cheating is no different from using her husband’s wallet to support her lover——
In the grotesque PUB, Su Jinnian grabbed the lapel of one person and kissed him forcefully, and finally smiled slightly: “Thirty million, I will keep you for three months, how about it?”
The bar lady stopped her in a panic: “He, he’s a guest!”
Su Jinnian raised her eyebrows: “100 million?”
While everyone was breathing in, the man pushed her back on the sofa, and pressed his lips together: “Deal.”
【Highlight part 2】
Hot and unbearable, Su Jinnian tugged at the neckline, and looked at the man across the conference table in disbelief: “You actually drugged me?”
The man opened the folder and pushed it in front of her: “Sign it.”
Looking at the “divorce agreement” in black and white, Su Jinnian’s eyes widened: “Are you crazy?!”
The man stretched out his hand and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his naked and well-proportioned body. His eye-catching abdominal muscles are extremely attractive: “As long as you divorce him, I’ll let you – fuck.”
【Excellent segment 3】
“boom!”
The office door was slammed open, and the little boy ran in in a panic: “It’s not good, Daddy! Mommy was snatched away by the bad guys on the street!”
The man’s face darkened, he picked up the phone and ordered coldly:
“Immediately implement martial law throughout the city, and focus on inspections of inbound and outbound vehicles and passenger planes! Once suspicious persons are found, report them immediately!”
*
Lu Zongrui: I am your husband, but welfare is not as good as your lover? !
Su Sicheng: It is said that the moon is the first to be close to the water, but sister, I stand closest to you, but I can’t even touch T-T with your hand.
Bai Shuran: Take care of me again, or——I take care of you?
Ximen Lie: I am very expensive, holding hands for a million, hugging for ten million, kissing for a hundred million, going to bed——
Shepherd Liang Yu: I am more expensive. Even if the whole Su family can’t afford to pay for you touching me, why, you still want to play tricks and not be responsible?
An Xirong: Don’t pay attention to the above two! I don’t want money! Come into my arms! (Third Young Master, where’s your integrity???!)
Chie Sakura: I am the deacon, and I belong to the lady only, both physically and mentally. (The translation of this sentence is: come to me, I am so lonely~~~==!)

- Description from novelbuddy

Isabella was supposed to be sipping champagne at a luxury spa, not waking up in the middle of a forest. Worse, a SYSTEM had attached itself to her like some clingy ex, spouting nonsense about survival, quests, and—oh, hell no—manual labor.“System, I was NOT built for the wilderness! My ideal ‘roughing it’ experience involves a five-star hotel with bad WiFi!”Now, instead of lounging in silk robes, she’s being ordered to farm? To hunt?“A farming quest? You want me—a city girl—to grow food? System, I once killed a cactus by overwatering it. This is NOT my calling!”And don’t even get her started on the hygiene situation.“You want me to bathe in a cold river? Darling, I require warm water, scented oils, and an ambience! What do I look like—some barbarian?!”Unfortunately, the locals—big, muscular beastmen—don’t seem to understand the concept of self-care. The women? Neglecting their skin like it’s a crime to be radiant. The men? Walking hygiene disasters.“Ladies, if your man can smell you before he sees you, we have a problem.”“You see this? This is lotion. It exists so you don’t look like a dried-up leaf. Use it.”“A beard should be majestic, not tragic. Let me fix it.”And the beastmen? They don’t just stare at her like she’s an oddity. No, they hover. They smirk. They lean in too close, fangs flashing with amusement.“Why do you keep looking at me like that?” she huffed, crossing her arms.The panther grinned, his tail flicking. “Because you’re fascinating when you’re annoyed.”No, absolutely not. She was not here for this nonsense.“If you have time to stare, you have time to moisturize.”She didn’t ask to be here. She didn’t ask to be their savior. But if she has to suffer through this world, she’s making everyone around her suffer less—through skincare, style, and some serious attitude.“If I hear one more ‘We don’t season our food here,’ I’m launching a war.”“If you have time to gossip, you have time to do squats.”“You want to impress a woman? Start with not smelling like the battlefield.”Survival isn’t just about fighting monsters; it’s about looking good while doing it. So what if the System keeps throwing impossible quests her way?“What do you mean ‘you can’t skip quests’?! Since when?! Where is the skip button?! I demand a skip button!”But somewhere between dodging ridiculous quests and fixing these people’s tragic grooming habits, Isabella found herself in situations. Uncomfortable, heart-racing situations.Like being trapped against a tree by the red python, his red eyes half-lidded as he murmured, “You talk too much, little star. Should I silence you?”Like waking up with the lion lord’s fur-lined cloak draped over her shoulders, his deep voice gruff, “You shiver in your sleep. I’ll fix that.”Like the phoenix watching her every move, his burning gaze searing into her skin as he mused,“You cause chaos wherever you go, but I find that I don’t mind.”Oh, hell. No. She was not about to fall for four beastmen. She was too pretty for this much stress.“If you insult me again, I’ll make sure your soul needs a beauty upgrade.”“I refuse to be disrespected by anyone who dresses like an unwashed tree branch.”And yet, when a rival tribe came to challenge her, when danger lurked too close, those same beastmen stood beside her—smirking, taunting, fighting for her.“A beastman growled at me today. I growled back. He ran. I am the alpha now.”Isabella isn’t just surviving. She’s thriving. And this world better keep up.
