The body of a mermaid is a vault of treasures. Their tears formed the most splendid of pearls, their exquisite blood a euphoric drug for vampires, their luscious hair woven into the finest of silk, and their tender meat sought after by werewolves more than Heaven's ambrosia. The creatures of night mingled within human society, fleeced in the wool of aristocracy, veiled in their portrayed innocence and nobility, their savagery continued to predate on the weak and powerless. Jennierubyjane Barlow, Jennie for short, was an exceptionally strange young lady. She had an alluring and beguiling nature, where for her twenty-four year old self had barely changed in appearance since her eighteenth birthday. She had fooled the administration and had gotten a degree so that she could have a better life. Most odd of all was that Jennie had a secret she shared with no one. She enters the house of Moriarty, not just to earn but also to find answers on what happened to her mother nearly two decades ago. Unfortunately, things do not always proceed as one planned. Despite her cautious nature and desire to stay out of sight, a cold pair of eyes falls on her, that soon refuses to leave her out of sight.

When my wife died at the hands of my enemies, a part of me died along with her. For 10 long, agonising years, I yearned for her. Day and night. I vowed to never look in another woman's direction again, and for those 10 years, I didn't. Then Kim Jennierubyjane bulldozed into my life. I tried to kill her. Several times. But her skills as an assassin made her one of the toughest opponents I had ever faced. When we're both kidnapped by the same man, and forced to work together in a fight-to-the-death, gladiator-style tournament, things change. A side of me that had been dormant since my wife's death arose, like a dark, angry beast demanding to be free. Demanding Jennie. But how could I possibly allow that when I swore to remain faithful to my wife, even in death? _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠__⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠__⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_ Taehyung Volkov, The Bratva Butcher. The man, the myth, the legend. A literal bogeyman within the organised crime syndicates, the world's biggest asshole, and my partner for a stupid fight to the death tournament. Joy. Not. I tried to kill him. Several times. But a man like him doesn't die easy. He was rude. Arrogant. Obnoxious. And the hottest man I'd ever met in my life. Not that I would ever tell him that. Somewhere in the middle of all the arguing and attempted murder, things slowly began to change between us, and I saw a side to him I never knew existed. We connected, despite the fact that neither of us wanted too. But none of it mattered. Taehyung Volkov would only ever love one woman in his life, and it wasn't me.

I was hers, but she was never mine. Jennie Kim is the hired "homemaker" for the Kangs, an chaebol couple in Korea. For Jennie, it's a dream job to dress up like a 1950s housewife and read romance novels to Mr. Kang before his afternoon nap. But when the Kangs only daughter returns home for the summer with her fiancé, Jennie comes face- to-face with her shattered past-the only threat to her perfect life. Eight years earlier, vacation rental owner Kim Taehyung had an impeccable vinyl record collection and did the most irresistible thing before kissing Jennie, earning him a five-star rating. Their fortnight love affair was life-altering and ended tragically. Taehyung doesn't know if Jennie remembers him or whether he should tell his fiancée that the hired-help living in the guesthouse is the woman who irreparably broke his heart. He needs closure, but will the lingering glances and silent yearning lead to the end or just the beginning? ￣￣￣￣￣￣ ❗This is a converted story, all credits to the original author JEWEL E.

Waking up from a nightmare several hours before dawn, Jennie fetched a drink of water. She paused in front of her kitchen's window when she noticed a lit lantern in front of her mansion's garden. Her butler stood there, shovel in hand. This was no hour to be gardening. Curious, she made her way outside, but when she had gotten close enough to see a large and hollow pit next to her eternally-stoic and polite butler, she saw him pick up a rotten body. A DEAD BODY! Her eyes widened fearfully when she saw her handsome butler drop the rotting body into the fresh hole. She asked in horror, "What are you doing?!" Surprised to see his little mistress awake at this hour, Taehyung stared at her with the same expression he had been keeping up for all these years. He had made sure she was asleep before coming here. "Gardening." "And the body?!" she looked at him in disbelief. "Fertilizer," he answered her before picking up the shovel that was on the ground. Jennie was now certain something had possessed her butler. Who gardened dead bodies?! She then heard him ask her, "Want to help me in planting it, Miss Kim?" he gave her a sweet smile.

Kim Taehyung's former mistress was pregnant? And had amnesia? That meant Jennie didn't remember betraying him by selling company secrets. Or that he'd thrown her out of his life. So he told her a little white lie-they were engaged. Then he swept her away to his Jeju island to await the birth of his baby and enjoy her sudden devotion...before tossing her out. But he didn't count on Jennie regaining her memory so soon.

'All it took was breaking one rule that she was not supposed to' - When Jennie Kim decides to move to the dormitory of the reputed University, she has everything planned so that she can complete her graduation and leave the place. But her plan is quick to catch fire from the moment the eyes of Kim Taehyung from senior year lands on her. And his appearance screams nothing but TROUBLE. "What rules?" Jennie asked with a frown as she read through the page. She was sure she hadn't seen any rules of the campus mentioned on their website. # 4. No using cell phones. # 12. Students should not roam outside the campus after eleven in the night. The further she read, the more bizarre it turned out to be. Her friend turned the page and then pointed at the last rule # 29. Listen to Kim Taehyung. "This is made up. Look, the last one is even written in pencil." Jennie couldn't believe that her friend from the next dorm thought she would fall for it. "And no phone?" "It is important you abide by all the rules. Especially number twenty nine," said the girl in a serious tone. "Remember not to get involved with Taehyung. If you happened to see him, run in the other direction. There is a reason why it is written down here." With the rules of the campus, she resorts to sending handwritten letters to her uncle. But who knew it would end up in someone else's hand! ☆Credits to Rightful Author☆

"If you're asking me to step down from the marriage proposal, I can't." Taehyung firmly said. "Marry me and let us divorce after a year" Jennie suggested. Jennie Alessin, a queen rotting in prison. Despaired and without hope, she drank poison and died. But... unbeknownst to her, the deity gave her a second chance at life. She was twelve again. And this time, she would live life differently. Six years later, she chooses to become Arundell's queen.. And this time, the time limit of their marriage would last a year. A husband she knew who was different than before... she tried not to love him again due to fear of her past repeating , but each time, her heart kept shaking.

Kim Taehyung was achingly beautiful. A cruel, dark prince who only smiled when he could break his unwilling broken princess. He was destined to rule over his kingdom. It was his birthright. His indisputable fate until my father betrayed his oath and locked him into a cage to torture and humiliate. It was the end of Taehyung. It was his rebirth too. I witnessed both. He hated my last name for everything my father had done to him and his family. But me... ...me he hated for a single act-running away. _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠__⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠__⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_ Jennie was the light in my eternal darkness. Until she wasn't. Until she betrayed me like every other Lamorgese. I wouldn't let her escape. I couldn't, not when she was the only anchor to something I'd lost. My last salvation. She would become my wife. The unwilling princess at my side. I never wanted to make her pay for the scars that her father had left. No, I would make her pay for breaking my heart.

After an ugly breakup, the billionaire Kim Taehyung swears he hates his college sweetheart - Jennie. She was the only woman who ever managed to get close enough to break his trust and shatter his heart. But when he hears she's marrying his rival to pay off her family's debt, he gives in to his obsession and steals her away. If she's going to marry anyone, it's going to be him... He'll save her family for a chance to make her pay for her betrayal. Adopted into an unfeeling wealthy family, Jennie always felt like an outsider, who didn't belong anywhere. Until she met Taehyung. He's the only man she's ever loved-and the only man who's made her feel loved in return. Her biggest regret is being forced by his rival to hurt him and knowing he'll hate her forever. So she's shocked when he drags her out of the ceremony and offers to take care of her family's debt. She knows he's only laying claim to her for revenge, but she doesn't have a choice. The rules are simple: 1. Be faithful; 2. Share a bed every night; 3. No babies; 4. Everything ends when he's tired of her. Taehyung is confident nailing Jennie a few times will give him the closure he needs to get her out of his system for good. But every touch, every moment together reminds him of their amazing love from before, making it increasingly more difficult not to break his own rules. When old secrets are exposed and their enemies make their final move, Taehyung needs to make a choice: fight to stay with her or let her go forever.
