The theme park was Charlotte's victory lap, and she ran it like a generals' daughter. Merry-go-round first — "the talking horses, Mommy, the TALKING ones" — where she selected the fattest white horse ...

A voice demanding my doom dragged me awake. “Miss Su. Mr. Fu says you must sign this agreement today.” The words poured down from above, ice-cold and professionally patient. I forced open my heavy eye...

"Aria? She's nothing but a bit of fun." The words stopped me cold in the hallway, two chilled bottles of champagne in my arms and a bag of ice pressed against my ribs. Three years. Three years of comi...

For three full minutes after my car pulled away, I said nothing at all. Neither did he. Then I told him. I won't repeat what I said. Some of it was cruel, and I meant every word, and I'd say it again ...

“Forgive my bluntness, but without the cover, I would have assumed I was reviewing a general's revenge saga set in an imaginary dynasty.” Cold air seeped through the spacious, brightly lit editor-in-c...

After the call ended, Yin Xigui stood in the living room for about ten seconds. His breathing gradually slowed from ragged to steady. The grip of his fingers on the edge of his phone loosened, then ti...

We touched down at Heathrow at two in the morning, and the whole crew had the pale, silvery quiet of wolves coming off a night flight. One night in London, then back to New York, then seventy-two hour...

Outside the cockpit door, Daisy was interrogating Keane like a she-wolf on a mission, and Keane — my mate's Beta, my ex-husband's best friend, a man physically incapable of keeping a secret when a pre...

Summer vacation tasted as though it had been soaked in honey. Between the milky fragrance drifting through the dessert shop and the warm, sugary breath of its ovens, every day felt full and light. Che...

Gong Zheng connected the miniature data cloner. The advanced device didn't require the laptop to be switched on: connected directly to the drive, it could copy everything at a touch, silently and with...

To grow up, to become a calm person, requires shedding many tears. "Chairwoman Su arranged for me to pick you up and take you home." "Why do you call Mom 'Chairwoman Su'?" "Because I don't want to be ...

Wednesday was the day Shen Miaomiao hit the worst writer's block of her life. She had spent the entire morning staring at the document for Chapter Ten of her novel. Her two leads had progressed from t...

On Monday morning, the Moxiang Literature editorial office was bustling. After Saturday's team outing and Sunday's rest, everyone was in fairly good spirits. Shen Miaomiao sat at her workstation, fran...

New York in summer smells like hot asphalt and cheap perfume. To everyone else, anyway. To me, it smells like nothing at all. Three years of practice taught an Omega how to flatten her scent into some...

Yan Yu closed his eyes, unwilling to look at his injuries. Once he'd steadied himself, he picked up the bathrobe from the floor. At least his clothes were still in the bathroom. He wouldn't have to le...

Back on Mount Kunlun, Ling Wu slept for three days and three nights straight. Perhaps she had truly worn herself out; she did not dream at all. When she woke, she felt refreshed and clear-headed. As i...

Lu Nan was being held in a strange man's arms. He opened his mouth, but not a word came out. All he could do was marvel inwardly: a hero could still make a dazzling entrance without a thunderclap over...

The moment they entered the room, Shen Jibai shut the door. When he looked up, his gaze was immediately caught by Ye Jingchuan. Jingchuan had just finished bathing, water still glistening on his skin....

Perhaps it was his imagination, but Shi Wei's room-change request seemed to be approved unusually quickly. They'd barely finished lunch before its status changed to Accepted. Xu Yan eagerly volunteere...

The following afternoon, Shen Miaomiao came into the company late, sporting a pair of dark circles. She'd worked past midnight the night before, then tossed and turned at home over Lu Chen's jacket. A...

My life ended with Yu Shen saying, “Ruan Ying, if you found out, I'd never be able to show my face again.” The rooftop railing was digging into my waist. Far below, a loudspeaker's announcement blurre...

After Lu Chen rescued Chapter Four with his red pen, Shen Miaomiao finally learned her lesson about writing. She stopped chasing exaggerated domineering-CEO formulas and began concentrating on details...

Once he was in the car, Gong Zheng's craving for a cigarette returned. He silently cursed Zhao Zhouming. The bastard had lit one for him, then taken it away after barely a few drags and forced himself...

The Trial Assembly lasted three days. Qingchen had meant to take Ling Wu back to Mount Kunlun first and return the next day. But a heap of Immortal Lords had invited him around; he truly could not sli...

On Friday afternoon, Shen Miaomiao arrived outside the editor-in-chief's office with her latest printed manuscript in her arms. These were Chapters Six through Eight, which she'd spent an entire week ...

When the white light faded, I found myself standing in front of a workstation. Sticky notes covered the partition. Three monitors were stacked at the edge of the desk, a packet of spicy snacks was wed...

The steady sound of a jump rope echoed through the hall. Li Ce had reached two hundred and ninety jumps. His inner robe was soaked through, and his long hair clung in disarray to the side of his neck....

Just when I thought my senior year would march to its end on schedule—tense but steady—fate bared its ugliest fangs. Life's hammer falls hardest when you are least guarded, closest to happiness, and i...

Senior year began earlier than any other grade. The chill of the first lunar month still lingered; the snow on campus had been swept to the roadside and piled into gray-black mounds. Bare branches poi...

Ling Yu rose anxiously, stepped close to the man, and finally stopped in front of him, looking down: “I've said that if I only wanted information, I wouldn't have come looking for a person at all. And...

The man looked at her with a trace of doubt: “Miss Ling, you're really too impatient—makes me feel I shouldn't be taking this money! And we're complete strangers. You walk in talking about signing a c...

Having regained her memories, Su Die decided to cast off her identity as a financial princess. She would follow her original plan: work to earn money and graduate from A University on her own, without...

I sighed at him. He was here because Kieran's little speech had lit him up like a fuse, and he needed somewhere to put the fire. Fine. I'd been putting out Hugo's fires for three years. One more, and ...

I peeled myself off the floor and called the one person who'd never graded me. "Blaire here. Talk fast, I'm mid-sketch." "Blaire. Hugo and I are done." There was a beat of silence, then a thwack of a ...

I didn't tell anyone the whole truth for most of my life, mostly because there was no one to tell it to. My first memory is a dormitory in St. Agnes's Orphanage: forty beds, one radiator, and the soun...

At that point, what was one more scandal on top of the pile? I bent down again and pressed a kiss to Kieran Vale's cheek, slow and deliberate, while the whole booth watched. Then I looked up at Hugo a...

Chapter 27: Going Public It was the tenth day when everything finally settled. All of the assets under Yin Rui's name completed their transfer and liquidation, the pushback from the Yin family's old g...

Chapter 26: Warmth The news that Yin Xigui had taken over the Yin family spread through the entire business world within three days. First, the personnel changes at the old residence leaked out. The s...

When Su Die woke again, she heard sirens. In the instant she opened her eyes, she could not tell whether the sirens came from a dream or from reality. Qin Zu was sentenced to ten years for fraud. Xiao...
