Mistakenly Yours: Contract Marriage With The Billionaire

Sara Falcone, the eldest daughter of the prestigious Falcone family, has always been bright, ambitious, and determined. Groomed to take over her father’s empire, she quickly rose to prominence as the company’s CEO, earning respect in the business world. But when Falcone Industries teeters on the brink of bankruptcy, her world begins to crumble. Desperate to save her family’s legacy, Sara turns to the last person she ever thought she would, her greatest rival, and once, her secret crush: Luca De Augustino. Cold, calculating, and infuriatingly powerful, Luca offers her a way out, but at a cost. In exchange for rescuing her company, she must agree to a contract marriage with him. Luca De Augustino, heir and CEO of the mighty Augustino Group, was raised to lead without compromise and to never bow to anyone. Yet there was one person who always challenged him, Sara. Years ago, when she confessed her feelings, he shattered her heart with cruel rejection. Seven long years have passed since that day, but fate brings them back together. Now, bound by a one-year contract marriage, Sara must navigate a dangerous game of pride, power, and unresolved emotions while Luca sees this as his chance to finally claim the one woman who once loved him. ~~~~~ “You think I'll help you just because you pathetically kneel in front of me!” Luca chuckled. “What happened to the woman who always held her head high in pride?” “If you don't want to help me, then just say so!” Sara raised her voice. Standing up, she turned to leave when Luca grasped her hand, thus making her turn to him. “Fine, I'll help you. But there's a condition,” Luca pronounced. “And what's this condition?” asked Sara. “Become Mrs. De Augustino. In short, marry me, Sara Falcone.” ~~~~~ *All the names and places used in the story have nothing to do with the reality. It's a fiction.*

Top Assassins Call Me The Lady Boss

WARNING: MATURE CONTENT!Ahmet's laughter was like a slap in the face. "You think you're in a position to negotiate with me?" he sneered. "I don't think so, Asli. You'll do what I say, or suffer the consequences. Do you want more time to outsmart me? No.” She could play his game. She certainly could do that before she finally killed him. A mischievous grin formed on her lips. "What would you gain from sleeping with me?" she asked, trying to keep her tone neutral. "You're not exactly known for your romantic conquests. And we're rivals, not to mention the fact that our families would kill us if they found out." She paused, her eyes narrowing. "So, what's the real motive here? What could you possibly gain from this?" There was a pause on the other end of the line, and for a moment, Asli wondered if she had caught him off guard. But then, Ahmet's smooth voice came back, dripping with confidence. "I’m glad to know you are well-informed about my romantic conquests. Let's just say, Asli, that I have my reasons. And as for what I'd gain… well, that's for me to know and you to find out." His tone sent a shiver down her spine, and she knew she had to tread carefully. She wasn’t going to win this against him. “Show me what proof you have and I will give in to your demands.” With that, she hung up the call, feeling a small sense of satisfaction at being the one to end the conversation this time. She was the only woman in the male-dominated Mafia world. Did he think he could subdue her so easily?

The Pregnant and Rejected Luna and Her Lycan Child

Araya Varrow spent years thinking that marrying the pack’s Alpha, Jasper Drevyn, would finally earn her a shred of dignity. Instead, it all blew up in her face. Jasper, proud as ever, shamed her in front of the whole pack, tossing her aside as if she meant nothing, wolf-less, unworthy, and pregnant with his child. Alone and exiled into the bitter cold, survival seemed like a lost cause. But destiny had other ideas. Just as her strength was giving out, Araya was found by Ronan Tharos, a Direwolf whose past is written in scars and whose gaze could melt stone. His methods are harsh, his temper sharp, but he pushes Araya harder than anyone ever has. Under Ronan’s relentless training, the wolf inside her finally roars awake—enormous, silver as the moon, and bound to an ancient prophecy. The child she carries isn’t merely a symbol of her old life; he’s the linchpin in a legend that could either heal the rift between wolves and Direwolves or plunge Drevalon into chaos. When word reaches Jasper that Araya is not only alive but thriving, he returns a shell of the man he once was—pleading at her feet for a second chance, willing to risk everything. But Araya is no longer the vulnerable woman he cast aside. She’s carved herself into a force to be reckoned with, standing at the head of her own pack, a Direwolf at her side, and a son whose power could shake the world. Now she stands at a crossroads: forgive the man who betrayed her, or embrace the wild Direwolf who taught her to fight for her future. In a realm where betrayal hits harder than any blow and the fires of prophecy burn hotter than revenge, Araya is ready to take her place at the top and make sure every last wolf who turned their back on her remembers her name.

Dauluo Dalu: Treasures & Emotions

When Chen Sheng dies from cancer on Earth, he never expected to be reborn as an abandoned prince in the world of Douluo Continent. Born as the illegitimate son of the Star Luo Empire's Emperor and a humble maid, his fate seemed sealed when his dying mother promised the Empress that her child would never compete for the throne. Yet even this promise wasn't enough—the paranoid Empress ordered his elimination, leading to his abandonment in the remote Saint Spirit Village. Raised by the kind-hearted Old Jack, Chen Sheng grows up alongside the Tang San, carrying the wisdom of two lifetimes but lacking any supernatural advantages. That changes on his sixth birthday when he awakens not only his martial soul but also the mysterious **Emotions Fortune System**—a unique cheat that rewards him with treasure chests whenever he causes emotional disturbances in others. Every fear he instills, every admiration he earns, every heart he breaks or mends becomes a source of power. From techniques and bloodlines to martial soul evolutions and soul rings, even things from other dimensions Chen Sheng's growth depends on his ability to manipulate the emotional landscape around him. But unlike typical villains, his approach is strategic and multifaceted—sometimes protective, sometimes ruthless, always calculated. As he rises from an abandoned village boy to one of the continent's most formidable powers, Chen Sheng attracts attention from all corners of the Douluo world: --- *Xiao Wu: "Chen Sheng-gege is amazing! Even Tang San admits." *Zhu Zhuqing: "I choose him as my husband. When he looks at me, I don't see pity for a 'caged bird'—I see acknowledgment of an equal. That's worth more than any imperial bloodline." *Ning Rongrong: *"Daddy always said I needed someone strong enough to protect me and brave enough to stand up to me. Chen Sheng does both without breaking a sweat! Plus, he's the only person in my heart." *Hu Liena: "He's dangerous in all the best ways. Master says he's too unpredictable to be a true ally of Spirit Hall, but I think that's exactly what makes him perfect. Who wants a predictable man anyway?" *Tang San: *"Chen Sheng... he's both my greatest rival and most trusted friend. I can't figure out how he always seems to know exactly what I'm thinking, but I'm grateful he chooses to stand with us rather than against us." *Bibi Dong: "He could be the key to changing everything... or destroying it all." Yu Xiaogang: *"His cultivation speed defies every theory I've ever studied. It's as if the heavens themselves are conspiring to make him strong." --- In a world where strength determines fate and emotions run deeper than the deepest ocean, Chen Sheng must navigate political intrigue, ancient conspiracies, and the complex relationships he builds with the most powerful people on the continent. Armed with his Emotions Fortune System and the cunning of two lifetimes, he'll carve his own path to supremacy—one treasure chest at a time. But in a land where gods walk among mortals and love can be both the greatest strength and the most devastating weakness, Chen Sheng will discover that some prizes are worth more than any system reward. --- # Disclaimer: JUST FOR ENTERTAINMENT NOT TO HURT SOMEONE EMOTIONS.

Martial Arts to Immortality

Lu Lin had transmigrated to a cultivation world, yet the sad thing was that he had no spiritual root, unable to cultivate, and could only practice martial arts.

Their Qi and Blood(vitality), tempered body, and combat skills seemed to cultivators’ spiritual energy, spells, and magical weapons a flimsy sheet of paper. Fortunately, he had awakened with the Martial Dao Furnace, which could transform spiritual energy into time spent training. Should a year’s time fail, then two years. Should two years fail, then a decade. Should a decade fail, then a century, or a millennium? Blazing Sun Technique---→Nine-Sun Divine Technique Grass Skimming---→ Sky Treading Footwork Steel Elephant Body---→Primordial Dragon-Elephant Art A crude martial arts technique to the scorn of immortals? Toss it into the Furnace, subject it to a millennium’s deduction. After tens of thousands of tweaks, it eventually became what rocked the cultivation world. Without a spiritual root? Then mold my blood, flesh, tendons, and bones into an undying golden body. Without magical weapons? Then smash magical weapons into pieces with my fists. Without spells? My self-created martial arts has developed a Behemoth Self-Projection, whose punch shatters mountains and rivers and whose stomp breaks space. In desperate, oppressed enslavement, as a mortal, Lu Lin forcibly hacked a path of martial arts longevity through an immortals-dominated world. With the wood fire ever burning, the Dao of martial arts would be everlasting; establish my Dao with martial arts, force a breakthrough into immorality!
