As a child, Wei Wuxian had been rescued from living on the streets and taken in by the Lans. Being haunted by his past, he slowly got better in the care of everyone in the Cloud Recesses. One day however, he joins in on guest lectures and his whole world turns upside down. OR Wei Wuxian is traumatized, Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen are his caring brothers and Jin Zixuan is an awkward idiot who unconsciously bullies the one he has fallen for until he finally realizes his own feelings. This work is based on request from Olivia Hawkins: "A canon divergence fic where WWX's a blind and a selective mute due to being raped and abused when he was on the streets as a child. Instead of being found by JFM, he's found by QHJ and is taken as a Lan disciple instead. Like LWJ, JZX eventually falls in love with WWX but can't act on his feelings for him because he's engaged to JYL." This fic will contain themes and mentions that may be trigerring, please read the warnings and tags I used and proceed at you own discretion. English is not my first language so I apologize in advance for any mistakes. I am also not very familiar with chinese culture, customs nor naming conventions so this work may in some places not be 100% accurate. I do not own any characters I have used in my story, this is purely a work of fan fiction. Hope you will enjoy reading :)

IIHighest rank no: 3II What are the repercussions of a rejection? 1. Getting numb 2. Failing to care about anyone else and 3. Genocide(yes just kill off everyone and get it done with.) At least to me, these are the solutions and they are absolute. Incomparable. Yeah, being an unwanted mate and a disowned daughter can do things to someone. Especially when said mate is the alpha king himself. In other words, unavoidable. So what happens when the world we know today is run by electronic chips embedded in your body? What happens when rogues are no longer a threat but something far worse. Or when for the first time a werewolf joins the vampire army to kill her own kind? With a hidden gift on its way, the odds just turned in my favor too. How about seeing everything in the villain's perspective for a change? Afterall, they are the one everyone hates, isn't it? This is my story. This is me fighting for the chances that ended before it even started. And it will go through some pretty 'different' (putting it mildly) stuff before you see the end of it. This is not a cliche story. Yes, rejection is there. But the story starts with rejection. Please give it a chance. I promise it won't disappoint.

When her wealthy father dies, Sylvie Pace's surprise inheritance is only the clothes she can fit into her (using the word loosely) "car" and a remote Florida ranch she shares with Walt McGurk, cowboy. (Based on the author's feature film screenplay, which won Honorable Mention, 2001 Writer's Digest Writing Competition, Television/Movie Scripts, out of 19,500 entries.) These opposites do not attract. She's Palm Beach, he's Podunk Holler. She's haute couture, he's old jeans, sweaty tee-shirts, and stinky boots. She's Italian sports cars, he's American-made pickup trucks. She's determined to find a way back to her old way of life, he's only trying to make a living. He calls her The Pouty Princess. She has labeled him The Abominable Cowboy. He says she's unemployed, she says she's "at leisure." He's dating the owner of Clarice's Beauty World in Clewiston. She's dating a real-estate tycoon with homes in Miami and Palm Beach. She's pretty, okay, but that can't make up for all the aggravation she causes poor Walt. She knows her way around high society, sure, but around a real house without servants or a concierge, she doesn't know how to do anything. Some of her mistakes around the house-especially the ones involving electricity-nearly kill him. The worst thing for Walt about the death of Sylvie's father? Harry Pace isn't actually dead. He's moving in the shadows of his former business world, locating and retrieving assets stolen by his former partners. Walt's job? Keep Sylvie safely squirreled away, far from the nefarious activities of Harry and his unscrupulous associates, until Harry can exact his revenge. Things get really interesting the day EVERYBODY shows up at the Palm Beach Polo Club.

"We will never bow to man." For years the Amazons have been living isolated from men, only leaving to find a suitable man to mate with, to produce more girls. They would never bow to a man; they would rather kill a man than marry a man. They have stayed hidden, participating in wars against men, the women have stayed strong in their resolve, and they have never weakened to a man and would rather die than ever become a slave to a man. Rhea is young and has finally come of age; it is her turn to go out into the world to find herself a man to produce a child with. Rhea would much rather get it over and done with, she was wanted to prove she was not the weak link, she just wanted to fulfil her duty and head back to her small village. But Bastian-a Greek warrior-is as stubborn as she is and brings a lot of trouble with him. (this amazing cover on the side was made for me by @Ashihara and @appetence, thank you both so much!)
