**FAIR WARNING: YOU WILL HAVE TO BE PATIENT WITH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, BUT IT IS THERE, AND WORTH THE READ. IF YOU ARE OVERLY SENSITIVE, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK* Logan Pierce and Noah Locke are sworn enemies. Both at the top of their class, holding themselves to the highest standards; both captains of their volleyball teams, Logan as the girls captain, Noah as the boys; and both constantly playing seemingly harmless pranks to get back at one another. Or, at least, they're usually harmless... If one thing is true, Noah Locke and Logan Pierce are not friends. But does that mean they could never be friends? Or transcend their title as enemies? Logan might take things too far sometimes, but there's a reason behind the angry front she puts on, and in order to get behind it, someone needs to show her that there's more to life than being the best at everything. Cue Noah Locke. When the two volleyball teams are sent away to a team bonding camp for a week over Fall break, Logan and Noah must learn to get along for the sake of their teams. Partnered up and made to do activities together and bond, the goal is for Noah and Logan to stop this ongoing feud. And when something happens at the bonding camp that brings Logan's vulnerable side up to bat, Noah is the one who has to bring her back. While Logan and Noah explore something other than hatred for one another, there are secrets and people who could be working in toll to bring them apart. But will they be able to transcend those factors and stop fighting for once? Or were they destined to be enemies forever? "Better Than You" challenges the idea that enemies have to stay enemies forever, and proves that if you don't run away from love, you may just find where you were meant to be.

Schemed against by her sister and fiance, the Second Daughter of the Zhu family died. As the Zhu Manor maids cover her lifeless body with a white cloth, to everyone's horror, the dead girl woke back up... Chen Lu, a cultivator from another world made an agreement with the weak Second Miss (who was also named Chen Lu) of the Minister of Rites' manor in the underworld. For another chance at life, the cultivator promised to cure and help the original body owner's brother. Bias grandmother, scheming madams, white lotus sisters, selfish father, etc. "Since you dare to scheme against me, remember not to cry too much later." The young woman curved her cherry red lips into a sweet and beautiful smile. Flowery language. Battle of the wits. White lotus. The young woman rested her chin on the back of her hand. Glancing down her nose, the young woman's eyes lit up mischievously and she slightly parted her curled lips, revealing a pearly white smile. "Don't mind me ripping off your pretense in front of everyone." Un-Filial! Bad Reputation!! Un-Marriageable!!! Relaxing her back and shoulders, the corners of the young woman's lips arced into a simper as she took a sip of her tea and hummed softly. "oh." ... "Your Highness, according to what this servant heard, the Zhu family's Second Miss is strange. Her reputation is quite... fierce." The servant knitted his brows into a deep frowned. "Is that so." The handsome young man curved his lips into a gentle smile. "Yes! Your highness, that Second Miss is definitely not normal!" The loyal servant continued to tried to dissuade the young man. Spotting the familiar slender figure from the balcony room, the young man's eyes lit up."So she is unique, special, and a perfect match for me ...is what you are saying." The young man gracefully lifted the wine to his lips while making sure to not shift his gaze from the slender figure by even a tiny bit.

Lilith Esther Bailey. A woman who was shunned by most due to her arrogant and cold personality. Compared to her, most adored Evelina Skyler, her long time rival, than her. Evelina was a sweet young woman with a pure beauty that can only be found once in a century. Thus most sided with Evelina and deemed Lilith as the hateful villainess preying upon a weak lady. Even Lilith's own fiancee, Chase Casspan, left her for Evelina. Drowned with resentment and deep hatred, Lilith would often scheme and harras Evelina, however she would never have expected for things to escalate so much. Once one of the most influential and esteem noble ladies in the Sainthallian Empire, Lilith was now stripped of her noble status, damned with the title of a criminal, and was sentenced to be burned for her 'crimes'. Though her body died by the flames, her resentment lived even after her body burned to ash. As her soul was about to enter the afterlife, she was awakened by a woman's voice. This voice turned out to be the sacred Goddess that ruled over the realm that had pitied her. Lilith was given a second chance, not only that she was blessed with two blessings. One, her soul was to be reincarnated in the body of Angelina Skyler, the younger sister of Evelina. Two, she was given the ability of 'The Travelling Soul', which allows her to transport her soul to another's body and control them temporarily. With this, she vowed to seek vengeance and set things right! This time, she wouldn't be so foolish... ⚠️The image used as the cover isn't mine⚠️ (Hiatus? Not sure when next update cause very busy rn)
