The Bigshot's Darling Genius

Zhao_mei88
She was betrayed, broken, and burned alive - the world's brightest mind, undone by the people she loved most. When Lu Mian opens her eyes again, she's back - reborn with every memory, every scar, and a heart that's finally learned how to stay cold. This time, she won't waste her genius saving ungrateful hearts. This time, she'll live for herself, ignoring all those who caused her pain and were unworthy of her love. But fate has a way of laughing at plans. The moment she saves a stranger in the rain - a man with eyes like midnight and a voice that can quiet a crowd - everything starts to change. They call him Huo Shen, the ruthless power who rules the city from the shadows. To the world, he's untouchable. To her, he's a puzzle wrapped in silence - a man dying from an illness no one can name... until she walks into his life. She wants to live, to shine. He wants her. What begins as a deal between two broken souls turns into something neither can control. She heals his body, he guards her heart. He pampers her like she's fragile, yet his love burns with a dangerous edge only she can tame. And when the past claws its way back, they'll fight not just for survival - but for the chance to stand side by side, unshaken, and finally shine on their own terms.

Dark bargain: The Wolf's Bride

DARK BARGAIN The Wolf’s Bride Her father sells Rose to a monster. The beast calls her bride—then bows as if she is royalty and whispers, “Found you." At sixteen, Rose is traded to Prince Lucien to save her dying sister, the one person she cannot bear to lose. Hidden in an ancient forest, Lucien’s mansion holds a vanished bride, a locked west wing, and a silver collar restraining something monstrous. By night, Lucien becomes a black wolf. Beautiful, cold, impossibly old, and somehow familiar with Rose’s name, he claims to protect her while watching her like prey. He offers tenderness with one hand and tightens the leash with the other, insisting he wants only what was promised—though every glance suggests he has awaited Rose long before she was born. As their dangerous attraction grows, Rose uncovers a buried bargain, a blood curse, and a ritual planned for the next full moon. Lucien says it will save them both, but refuses to name the price. Her blood may free him, yet kill her—and leave her sister without the cure Rose was promised. Someone is lying. Perhaps Lucien is telling the truth in the most dangerous way possible: giving Rose just enough of it to make surrender feel like her own idea. Before the altar claims her, Rose must learn why she was chosen and decide whether saving her sister is worth surrendering her freedom, her future, and the part of herself Lucien is awakening. He may want her heart, her blood, or both—and the more fiercely he tempts her to trust him, the less certain she becomes that his desire is a weakness she can use. She must choose whom to betray, and whether the monster she fears is the only one who has ever offered her a choice. Some bargains are inherited. The most dangerous are made before you’re born.
