Norah has done something that precious few women in regency England can claim. She has found a passion. Unfortunately, it isn't childbearing or household chores. It's medicine. And she's far too busy with it to worry about finding a suitable gentleman to marry. Kyrie is drowning in his late father's accounts. Never one with an eye for business, he's worried he might become the reason that his illustrious' family's longstanding titles and privileges come crashing down around him in the form of bankruptcy. He needs someone who can understand the books. Pity that his family's only concern is what woman he chooses to court. Neither of them want to participate in the song and dance of the mating ritual that is Regency England. But they can buy each other time, at least. Pretend to be courting one another, for only a season, and Norah will have the time and privacy to practice medicine while Kyrie gains a co-conspirator with insight into his accounts. It was a perfect plan. But things always seem to go awry when meddling sisters, fallen branches, and wretched feelings enter the mix.

They say birds sang and flowers bloomed despite being in the winter, and all the animals in the world bowed down as he took his first breath. He is known as the legendary emperor. The one who leads the kingdom through battles and conflicts, floods and droughts. The one who has kept his kingdom fed and happy despite a war waging outside their city walls. How he became suddenly so powerful remains a secret unknown to the world. How he became suddenly so powerful despite already ruling for ten years is a secret the world wants to know.

Lin Qian once thought the man she wanted would be handsome and formidable, able to "create clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another turn" in the business world, causing her to look up to him in admiration. There would be nothing he could not accomplish. But when she finally met the one that fits this, she realized how much she liked his impassiveness, his quietness, his persistence, and his loyalty. She liked him to the point that she was willing to be with him, to stand side by side with him in this callous business world that is full of bloodshed. To be reckless in these years of our life, irrespective of the future. An encounter, ordinary and dull like flowing water, produced the most dramatic and best years for him and her. -------- NOT MY WORK!!! Author: Ding Mo; 丁墨 Translator: Qidian International

She thought she was going to die. She did. But the next time she opened her eyes , she found out that she was living a whole new life, as a little girl who was going to enter a noble household as a maid. However, a true pearl can never hide its lustre. It was a new world, set in ancient China-like era. Despite being confined in the vicinity of her new masters' household, she strove to live, and perhaps find love. Little did she know, her current life was one that had been pre-ordained. Not by the gods or heavens, but by a promise made by someone that had followed her through countless lifetimes ago. ||Author's note|| Original story. It's best to start with this book (One Lifetime is Never Enough / OLiNE). BUT before proceeding beyond chapter 28, I suggest to read book 0 (Loving You For A Lifetime/ LYFAL). Then, Book 2 (Remembering You For Eternity / RYFE) will be the conclusion of the tale spanning over the 3 books. Any images used were taken off the wonderful worldwideweb (mainly Pinterest). No copyright infringement ever intended. If you are aware of any credit due and which must be mentioned (or removed), please let me know. English is only my second language, so please bear with any of my errors. Book 0 and Book 1 especially, were written without editors and/or proofreaders. Mistakes abound.
