When Hong Kong was in the 1980s, bully triads were dominant and the society was in insecurity. The police were corrupt at that time. The infamous unruled area, Snapdragon Walled City (based on Kowloon Walled City), was especially chaotic. Over a dozen big and small triads settled over there. The golden hatchet man*1 Xia Liuyi in Xiao Qi Tong founded a film studio to launder money under the boss's command. The female lead of the film was their sister-in-law; the male lead was a threatened popular star; the director has only shot X-rated films - they need one more educated person to write a story. Wasn't that an easy task? Boss Liuyi took action promptly. He picked the only college student in this area - He Chusan who was coming home with his little backpack. He Chusan said: "I can't write a screenplay. I'm studying economics." Xia Liuyi said: "Beat him." He Chusan became a golden screenwriter obediently. After finishing this film, He Chusan thought he was already freed. Rest assured, he went to school with his little backpack again. However, he stepped on the Xia Liuyi covered with blood just in front of his home. The stage of a triad boss who was a snapdragon in this chaotic world and a white-collar elite from an innocent family, two parallel lines that seemed not to cross each other, and a messy, unreasonable fate, has its curtain lifted...... *In this book hatchet man literally means "the hired beater (打手)", and Xia Liuyi was a top-ranked hatchet man.* ------------------------------------- Disclaimer: This novel is not mine, and I did not translate it.

She was meant to die quietly. Poisoned, discarded, and forgotten by the empire that once adored her, the spoiled princess should have faded into history. Instead, she woke up different-sharper, colder, and unwilling to beg for affection ever again. Surrounded by four S-rank beastmates she once humiliated, and watched by a court that senses something has changed, Lily steps back into power with a new understanding: this world does not reward innocence. In a realm of beasts, politics are deadlier than claws, loyalty must be earned twice, and love is never free. And this time, she does not intend to be the one destroyed.

When Tyler creates an Instagram account for his introverted twin sister Taylor, it's all fun and games-until it's not. Posing as Taylor, Tyler connects with Tanner, a reserved man who is captivated by the girl in the photos and the person behind the texts. What starts as playful banter transforms into endless, meaningful conversations. Tanner finds himself drawn to someone unlike anyone he's ever known-curious why she never picks up his calls but enchanted by the connection they share. Meanwhile, Tyler's carefree flirting shifts into something deeper, something he can't quite name. As feelings grow and secrets pile up, Tyler faces a heart-wrenching realization: he isn't just falling for Tanner-he's falling for a version of himself he didn't know existed. But how do you confess the truth when it risks breaking everything? "Love doesn't always follow the rules, and sometimes, the truest connections are born out of deception."

Andrew Parsley is most definitely straight. He obviously only likes girls if the many hook ups he has had in the past mean anything. Zachary Rogers is the definition of straight. He not only has a girlfriend, but he makes it his life goal to show everybody and Andrew Parsley that he's completely into this girl. Corbett Connors is, well, he seems straight, but Andrew can't ever tell because he'd rather puke his lunch up than stomach being around the guy. But, what if these three boys weren't what they showed everybody else on the outside? What if Andrew actually liked guys? What if that pretty cheerleader girlfriend of Zachary's was just a ploy? And what if Corbett was never really into girls to begin with like everybody thought? Throw in Andrew's crumbling life, Zachary's bad past, their surprising friendship, and Corbett's messed up personality, and you got just a couple of Straight Boys. ...
