Qi Ying one day discovered a raising simulation app on her phone. The virtual protagonist in the game, Xing Xiaochu, was a pitiful soul-an abusive father who forced her to drop out of school, pressuring the 18-year-old Omega to marry an older Alpha to continue the family line. Unwilling to comply, Xing Xiaochu ran away and ended up crouching under a wall, crying as she hid from the rain. Following the game's storyline, Qi Ying took her home and began wholeheartedly nurturing Xing Xiaochu. Thinking it was just a simulation game, she was curious to see what kind of person Xing Xiaochu would grow into. So, Qi Ying took her to see a doctor, shared meals with her, and cared for her with all her heart, often saying, "Your mother asked me to look after you." Xing Xiaochu feared that Qi Ying's kindness was only because of her mother. But one day, by chance, she discovered that Qi Ying was affected by her pheromones. It was then that Xing Xiaochu realized there might be another way to stay by Qi Ying's side. That very night, Xing Xiaochu washed herself clean and climbed into Qi Ying's bed.

Fake relationship • devoid of any real love or emotional connection. ___________ A little cliché, maybe, but not your usual love story. Ever heard of fake relationships? In the business world, they're basically a necessity. McKendall and Winter were forced into one-not for fun, not for romance, but to clean up a business mess. Rules were simple: pretend, live together, and act like the perfect couple. Sounds easy? Not for them. They didn't like each other. In fact, they could barely stand each other. But did they have a choice? Nope. They had to play along. And then... chaos happened. Months of teasing, arguing, and driving each other absolutely insane slowly turned into something else. Something unexpected. Something messy. Something that maybe, just maybe, neither of them wanted to admit. It was confusing. Painful. And hilarious at times. But somehow, it became beautiful. "I am living with her."

A stranger to her own existence, Kayla moves to a small town with the hope of finding comfort in a fresh start. But as she steps inside the unfamiliar classroom on the first day, standing in front of the class is a mysteriously familiar face, one that rouses memories of a time she believed had gone by. With past baggage catching up in the most intrusive ways, she stumbles upon unexpected comfort of friendship, unconditional love of found family, and a beautiful yet complicated bond between two hesitant souls. "This book was like a warm hug, and I might believe in love again." "I would give everything, especially my soul, to have the opportunity to read this book for the first time again." ────── CW: Substance abuse, harsh language, sexual content, mention of self-harm and suicide. ────── Started in January 2018.
