SHE WAS THE PRINCESS—BUT NEVER HIS DAMSEL IN DISTRESS. Leina Reinhardt was born into power, privilege, and prestige—the only daughter of a multi-billionaire and the beloved sister of Westdentia’s most elite men: Lester – A cold, calculating CEO with an empire at his feet. Levy – A six-time Olympic champion, untouchable and unstoppable. Liam & Louis – The twin masterminds behind the world’s most powerful gaming empire. To the world, she was the Reinhardt Princess—elegant, quiet, untouchable. But Leina Reinhardt was no fragile flower. She was raised by wolves, after all. Then came Alexander Harris Smith. Her brothers’ best friend. Her first love. Her greatest heartbreak. The boy who lit up her world—only to disappear and leave her in the dark. Now, years later, he’s back, standing in front of her like a ghost from the past. And worse? He has the audacity to question her. ------------------------------------------------------------------------‐------------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt: Leina's fingers curled into fists, nails biting into her palms. Every muscle in her body screamed at her to walk away. To leave him standing there like he left her all those years ago. But damn him—he had the nerve to show up now, with those same emerald eyes, as if he had any right to look at her that way. "What did you expect, Alexander?" she seethed, voice sharp as glass. "That I’d wait? That my world would freeze the moment you walked away?" His jaw clenched. She could see the storm raging behind his eyes, but she refused to care. "You left," she said, her voice breaking despite her best efforts. "You. Left. And now you think you can just come back and—" Her words died in her throat as he moved, his hands gripping her arms, pulling her close before she could stop him. "Let go," she hissed, her voice defiant—but her body betrayed her, memories clawing their way to the surface. Alexander’s grip tightened, his forehead pressing against hers, breath unsteady. "I know I don’t deserve it," he murmured, voice raw. "But hate me, curse me, hit me—just don’t tell me you forgot." Leina’s breath hitched. Her throat burned. She wanted to slap him. She wanted to scream that she didn’t care. She wanted to say that he meant nothing. But the lie wouldn't come. Because the truth was brutal. She remembered everything. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHY READ THIS?

Not being a succubus

Introduction to Strange Family Letters Xiao Ji: When you read this letter, your mother has already gone to another world with your father. Mom doesn't want to keep it from you, but in order to give you a healthy childhood, there are some things that she hasn't told you clearly, but now it's almost time for you to know. Do you remember those mythological stories that your mother told you when you were a child? In fact, the people and events in the story are all true, which is why our family is different from ordinary people. Mom has always refused to let you be too conspicuous, just to protect you, but now that Mom's master is on his deathbed, we have to rush back immediately to see him for the last time. Dangerous in another world, I don't know how long it will take to go out this time. Mom is most worried about you. The new school will start next week, and in a few months it will be your sixteenth birthday. There are so many troubles, but Mom will try her best to come back before that time. You should take good care of yourself, not bully others, and not be bullied by others. Juanxiu's small characters are broken here, and the rest of the content is replaced by a few lines of big characters with flying dragons and dancing phoenixes Girl, as a father, I want to spend some time with your mother as a couple. During this time, we should not disturb each other, and there is no need to teach you anything. I believe you can take better care of yourself than your mother. But the new school is not as good as your own. If you are bullied, you can use all the things that your father taught you one by one. However, remember to be careful before the "time" comes. We can do it in the dark. Also, if we don't come back by that day, the pendant my father made for you can help you solve the problem, but you must not open it before that day. Remember, remember! Before her eyes, her father's seductive and flamboyant face could almost be seen. Xiao Ji sighed and unconsciously touched the white pendant that was tightly attached to her chest. This thing had been worn on her since she was young, and she had always regarded it as a gift from her father without suspicion, but she never expected that there was also a mystery hidden inside. Upon closer inspection, she indeed discovered an extremely secretive clasp at the bottom of the pendant. However, just as she was about to open it, she withdrew her hand and glanced at the prominent characters marked by her father before turning to touch the home letter that her mother had just mentioned next to her. This letter from home is very peculiar, with a slightly yellowed material, but it is not written on paper, but on a leaf surface similar to that of a certain plant. Perhaps because my mother's master has been refining a miraculous medicine for a lifetime, even after such a long time, a faint medicinal fragrance can still be smelled on the thin letter surface, with a few lines of simple messages written in bold characters. Although she still had some doubts before, after reading the letter from home, Jin Xiaoji had to admire her parents' ability to keep secrets. Even though her father was as cunning as a sperm, she didn't expect her mother to be able to keep it a secret. The content of the letter is just as my mother said, the "White Bearded Master" who has been living in the story but has been constantly talked about by her is finally approaching his birthday. Seeing the last line, some of the handwriting was opened by tears, as if she could feel her mother's feelings at that time. Xiao Ji carefully folded it and put it in the drawer, locking it together with the letter from her parents. She took a deep breath and waited quietly for the arrival of the unknown life
