Samuel Foster would be turning 18 in two weeks. He grew up in a fairly normal low case family home with his parents and two younger siblings. The thing out of the ordinary was he knew for as long as he could remember he would be getting married at 18 to a girl he never had met before due to a promise his family had made.

Lena Scarlet, Princess Scarlet was feared by many, respected and loved by everyone near her. Deadly as she was calm, her one annoyance in life was the arranged married he father decided upon before she was born. Being fiercely independent and trained to protect herself, she never felt the need for a relationship or marriage as she fully capable of taking care of all her needs.

However, a promise was a promise and whether either of them liked it or not, their parents were at least going to force them to live together before calling the wedding off.

Please give the book a chance. I’m not the greatest of synopsis writers, as I am sure some of you can tell and the book may be slow at first due to the setup and lead in. But I promise it will getting more interesting as it goes along.

Scene excerpt from the story:

“You didn’t happen to think it was important to tell before now?! The princess was furious with the other woman.

“I..” She paused for a second to swallow,

“I never thought that it would come down to this. I promise though that they wouldn’t do anything terrible.”

“They said the same thing to my father.. but they were wrong. I don’t trust anyone’s word.” The princess replied standing up. The more her anger rose, the darker her eyes got.

“You should just be fortunate that I am not my father. Do you know what he did when faced with a similar situation?” with no reply, she continued

“He killed almost all of them. You could say it was a massacre. Me, I won’t got that far, but if anything happens to him, I will personally kill the person who touches him.”

Who made the rule that a woman can't be the first to confess her feelings to a man?

If there was one, then it didn't matter to this young woman.

In order to escape from her stepmother and stepsister, Zhang Liling sought help from Mr. Fang, a Business Mogul, specially invited to take her department on Business Management, and she was rejected because of her absurd request.

But through his Personal assistant, she managed to cunningly secure a home-work contract and moved into his villa.

A few weeks of living together as a Boss and Employee was enough time for Mr. Fang to see all the crazy sides of Zhang Liling and also for her to discover his health secret, hyperosmia. But the irony of her scent not affecting him baffled her.

Mr. Fang not being used to Zhang Liling’s unrestrained behavior and coupled with the rumors about them threatened to throw her out of his villa. But when she finally left, he began to long for her return.

At last, Zhang Liling returned. To others, she was a different person, but to Mr. Fang, she was the same feisty woman he has always known.

Together as a couple, Zhang Liling and Mr. Fang unmasked her stepmother’s deep dirty secret that will threaten the Zhang Family’s reputation.

EXCERPT

“Mr. Fang, do you accept stray cats?” Zhang Liling asked a little breathlessly as a layer of sweat formed on her forehead. She had just run over in other to catch up with him.

Mr. Fang paused briefly in his steps and turned to give her a good glance after adjusting his reading glasses. “You look like one,” he said in a deep voice before continuing in his steps.

How could Zhang Liling let him leave like that when it was a matter of urgency? She quickly chased after him and yelled, “Mr. Fang, you really have to take this stray cat in.”

“I don't accept stray cats, I only accept humans,”Mr. Fang replied as a slight smile turned up on his face.

Once again, she woke up and became Xiao Yunyi, the second-in-law’s direct daughter Xiao Yunyi, who was in the house of the fifth-grade middle-class book in the overhead world of Beimo, without the protection of her parents.

In order to monopolize the blessings that the original owner’s father had exchanged for his life, the big room not only wanted to kill the original owner, but also calculated the eldest son of the second room, and maliciously wanted to send the young master of the second room, who was born less than 100 days ago, to someone else as an adopted son. It is extremely vicious. .

After just getting along and finding out the situation in the mansion, before thinking about how to get rid of the uncle’s family’s calculations in the future, he got the news that the mansion was implicated by the family’s direct branch and would be exiled to the border.

On the way to exile, they were also disliked and run on by their so-called relatives. They were not afraid, not afraid, and never gave up their space, maddening those who wanted to see their jokes.

As for Jing Rui, who grew up in the border military area, since his head was broken by his eldest brother, his temperament has changed greatly, and he is no longer the pitiful little one that everyone can expect.

Relying on his own ability to rise step by step, his mind is full of strong himself, to find the little woman who met him in his past and present life.

It is said that thousands of miles of marriage are connected by a single thread. The past and present life are all fate, and there is God’s will in the dark. It can be said that there is no place to step through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. It’s wonderful!

When they meet again, they accidentally learn about the old secrets. In the face of sinister people and deep hatred, they will turn him upside down.

See how Yunyi protects her younger brother, and how the two couples continue their frontiers, overcome difficulties, and join hands to create a prosperous world.
