[BOOK ONE] Book Two is now complete. She loved him with all her heart. He chose power over her. Now she belongs to someone else- and he can only watch. A story of love, loss, and the one woman he should never have let go.

A letter. A poisoned wine. A woman. To drink willingly, it means one's heart is resigned. The woman drank the poisoned wine and sputtered blood on the paper. She ended her life with her last words, "Farewell, Yan Xujun. In our next life and the lives after, let's not meet again."

Mature Content [17+] Terribly good things await Alyssa when she lands a job as a spy. Even if infiltrating the Black Lair Clubhouse to steal a ring from the Lord of the Underworld is risky business. Three women have already lost their lives attempting such a feat but Alyssa is determined she will be the first to survive. There is just one problem. Dale has three close, notoriously dangerous men that protect him at all times. Imposing, armed and highly intelligent, the four gangsters together, are known as STRIKE. They lead the Gang of Shadows; where Misfits with mutated Gifts awarded by a Dooms Day now a century past, rebel against the Government in Frankincense City [FC]. Will Alyssa complete her mission for the government organisation who hired her... or will she take the other positively evil alternative? Because, STRIKE might just have a better place for The Diamond Spy. That is, if she is partial to the idea of being shared by the four evil villains of FC, who all have the worst kind of intentions. *VERY INTENSE BDSM THEMES, REVERSE HAREM: M/M/M/M/F*

Chao Lei. The infamous powerful woman in the entire continent, serving the Tang Empire positioned as the First Divine General. She was known to be a high cultivator in the land but she had her great downfall when... She was mindlessly betrothed off at the distant plains just after the war!

When she finally understood, she was already too late. The protagonists had already fallen in love with each other and planned for marriage. Maybe she was still lucky though, since she narrowly avoided a situation of certain death. A long, painful, and agonizing death. However, she couldn't let this be. There was inside her a wave of growing anger that had yet to disappear. She had yet to vent. It was a need. One that may lead her to death's door too, but if she died by this person's hand, certainly, it would be in a quicker way. She just never thought that his revenge would come in the form he chose to give it. He was quite a... bewildering man. Original-Not a translation

A second chance to pursue the man who truly loved and cherished her. This time, it won't be too late. • • • | • • • The hatred is mutual. Li Wei loathes Khan Bojing and he despises her. There's no way on earth or heaven would they willingly come together... Until pain ensues a passionate night between them and their fates are forever sealed. Still, describing their marriage as loveless is not far-fetched. Then time turns back. And everything changes. A new beginning starts now, here in this moment. Anything from this point on is possible. Including a love story between the villainess and the second male lead. • • • | • • • All credits of cover artwork goes to the original artist.
