MTL - Dali Temple Small Dining Room - Chapter 11 Sour plum drink pack (3)

Just as a gamer found an overpowered skill book called ‘Item Upgrade’ in the hottest virtual reality role-playing game on Earth, something happened to the game’s system, causing his soul to leave his body and go to another dimension. Common sense dictates that he would be born anew then become the greatest overlord of this world by making use of his advanced knowledge. Not in this case! He was already dead. Only some fragments of his soul and that skill book managed to get into that dimension and merge with an ordinary common youngster called Bai Yunfei.

This was the enormous Tianhun continent, where humans could be said to have no limits. There was a group of humans here who could cultivate the power of their own souls then control their bodies, the natural elements and even other people’s souls with that power! These special beings were called — soul cultivators. Come witness how the several fragments of the dead inter-dimensional traveler’s soul and that skill book, which was not governed by the laws of this plane, were going to help Bai Yunfei become a legendary soul cultivator and craftsman!

In a society where marriage has lost its true essence and has been distorted, reducing it to a transaction devoid of love and commitment, a mere agreement for personal benefits.Silvia Reyes found herself caught up in the chaos as she was about to be forced by her parents into marrying a man she despises.She was able to bail herself out of her dilemma as she offered a marriage of convenience to Davian Randell, who in turn needed it too to solve his dire situation.But life rarely goes as planned, does it? Will they find a way to reclaim love and commitment in their own lives, or will they succumb to the societal pressures that have tarnished the institution of marriage?Excerpt:-“If you think I'm gonna marry that man, then sorry, I'm not!” She said to her father.“You are, Silvia.” Her father declared.“I have a man!” She said.“What?” Her parents chorused.“You have a man. You should have told us earlier instead of letting us go through all that trouble.” Alan said.“We've been dating for some while now and he proposed to me recently and I accepted it.” She showed them an engagement ring on her finger, which she bought before coming to the mansion.“It's beautiful. How come you weren't wearing it yesterday?” Her mother asked.“I didn't wear it yesterday.” She answered simply.“Then why did you go through the trouble of attending the dinner date?, you could have just told us,” Her mother added.“I wanted to see the man you were setting me up with. I was so angry because I knew I was taken already. I didn't want to tell you guys yet, I didn't want to introduce him to you guys till a couple of days time. You spoilt the surprise.” Silvia explained.“Oh I see. So when can we meet this lucky man?, do we know him?” Alan said.“Uh-Uhm...no you don't. You'll meet him in a couple of days time, he's a really busy man.” She almost stuttered.“Okay, dear. We'll be waiting.” Her mother said. What has she done?, how was she going to get a man that will be willing to marry her in just a couple of days time.
