Ark - Volume 21 Chapter 9

Ethan Blackwood wasn’t used to being defied. As the CEO of a global empire, he crushed obstacles with a single glance. But when Lily Anderson stood before him, her chin lifted in quiet defiance, and something in him snapped. “Sign the contract,” he said, his voice like ice. “30 days. You’ll obey every command. After that, you’re free.”She hesitated, her fingers trembling as she gripped the pen. “And if I refuse?”His smirk was cold, but his eyes burned. “Then you’ll spend the rest of your life paying off your father’s debts. Your choice.”Trapped, Lily signed. But she vowed one thing: she wouldn’t let him break her.From the first day, their clash was electric. He demanded perfection; she gave him rebellion. “You think you can control me?” she spat, after he criticized her for being late.Ethan stepped closer, his presence overwhelming. “I don’t just control you. Lily, I own you.”But as the days passed, the lines between them blurred. Late nights in his penthouse turned into whispered conversations. His cold demeanor cracked, revealing glimpses of a man haunted by his past. One night, after a heated argument, he pinned her against the wall, his breath hot against her ear. “Why do you fight me so much?”Her voice trembled. “Because I’m afraid if I stop, I’ll lose myself to you.”Their connection deepened, but danger loomed. Secrets from Ethan’s past resurfaced, threatening to destroy everything. When Lily discovered the truth behind his obsession with her, she confronted him. “Was I just a pawn in your game? A way to settle an old score?”His eyes darkened with pain. “You were never just a game, Lily. You’re the only thing that’s ever felt real.”As the final days of their contract approached, their bond was tested like never before. Enemies closed in, and trust hung by a thread. Could they overcome the shadows of their pasts, or would their love crumble under the weight of secrets and pride?

The notorious firearms crime lord Chen Zhang An a.k.a Old Fox was placed under house arrest by the very successor he groomed.

One day, Katsuragi Daichi and his classmates found themselves in a different world. The god who summoned them to another world divided its power and gave it to them, saying that it wanted Daichi and the rest to defeat the Demon King as heroes. However, Daichi alone was given no abilities. And sure enough, Daichi was thrown away and used as a decoy in a demon’s den. Eaten by a demon, Daichi had lost consciousness and thought he had passed away, though when he came to he noticed his statuses had skyrocketed. He had obtained『Revenge of the Resented』. Every time he died, his abnormal ability powered up.

The pond fish crossed.
Dressed as the only daughter of the once beautiful city master of Baicheng, now the male protagonist is going to be his wife.
There are appalling criminal records such as poisoning the heroine, assassinating the villain Bai Yueguang, and humiliating the flawed and sick villain.
In the opening situation of this hell mode, the first task released by the portable system is: – Save the world.
Chi Yu said solemnly: “It seems that my life is to be a hero of salvation. The road is long and long, and I will search up and down!”
More than ten minutes after taking the oath, she was crushed by the villain, the Great Demon King.
…
Chiyu: “???”
To fuck me on purpose? Is such a difficult copy still necessary? Is the garbage system thinking about P eating!
“I’m dead, and the whole text is finished and sprinkled.”
System: “No, you can revive infinitely until you complete the mission of saving the world.”
…
After half a month.
Chi Yu met the villain, the great devil again, and was pierced through his chest with a sword.
Two more months.
He was held in the arms of the villain, the great devil, and used as a shield for human flesh.
Chiyu: “…the mouth is fragrant.”
Five years later.
Chi Yu, who endured humiliation and was disabled and determined, successfully revitalized the love line of the original hero and heroine CP, which rekindled his fighting spirit, suppressed the villain, and saved the world.
After the incident, the clothes went away, and he hid himself deeply in the name, and “died” in the war.
…
However, her “death” collapsed across the board.
The Great Demon King ran wild and slaughtered the world.
System: “…We don’t know what went wrong, let’s do it again, shall we?”
Chiyu: “@#￥ system, you don’t have a mother.”

PS: Don’t look at the brutality of the copywriting, this article is 1v1, the love line is sweet and petty without abuse, the plot is Su Shuang sand sculpture (special settings, except for a little bit of abuse of the heroine)
The male protagonist does not have Bai Yueguang. The first generation only likes to do things, and the second generation only likes Chiyu.
