My life before was just like my name, Haven. Everything was peaceful, everything went my way, and I had everything that I needed. If I wanted something, I'd have it in a snap. I didn't need to move, make an effort, or work for it. I just needed my daddy's tiny rectangular card that might look insignificant but carried the world on its little sharp edges. Money might not equate to happiness, but it certainly made life easier for me. And yet a year later, from heaven I was dropped into my version of hell. Now, I'm standing in the aisle of a grocery store, wondering if I should just buy another batch of instant noodles because I don't want to waste money-money that I barely have to begin with-on food that will just end up being barely edible. Was that the hell I'm talking about? No. It's working unbelievably long hours just to get paid basically nothing, and wanting to buy food to eat because I haven't had one meal for the day, only to end up having a gun on my head. Oh, and before I forget-kidnapped! At a grocery store! My version of hell? It's the tattooed, hot-headed Italian and head of a secret criminal society, Allessio Cascella.

In her past life, she was an asset, a professional murder scene cleaner (or even the murderer if paid well) for underground syndicates. Blood didn't scare her, but a normal life? That was a luxury she never had time for. Then she died and reincarnated inside a peaceful Boys' Love novel she once binge-read while in hiding. As a quiet florist named Ruri in a background town, she enjoyed her boring new life. No gunshots, no messy cleanups, just tea, flowers, and watching the beautiful main bottom Elis seduce his harem of top-tier tops. All was well... Until the genre shifted. One sudden apocalyptic event later, the world was in chaos. People awakened strange abilities, beasts roamed the cities, and humanity was divided into powerful Sentinels and normal people. And Ruri? She turned out to be the first existing Guide, able to soothe, power-up or control, any Sentinel through her touch. Now every Sentinels wants her. And strangely... the BL bottom and his dreamy harem? They're looking at her now.

❗️SLOW UPDATES❗️ Ako lang naman si Lea Cristine Del Mundo. Isa ako sa mga taong naniniwala na kahit binigay mo na ang lahat para sa isang tao at kahit gaano mo pa siya mahalin, may tendancy na iiwan at iiwan ka pa rin niya. And that sucks. My life is doing pretty good until nakita ko na naman yung isa sa mga taong sinaktan ako ng sobra. Aaminin ko, I still like him pero I have low chances until I met him. Si gunggong. He is not so nice and I really hate his guts. Pero di ko pala alam isa siya sa mga taong makakatulong saken para magustuhan din ako nung taong mahal ko. Hay basahin niyo nalang istorya ko para malaman niyo kung pano nagbago ang hate ko sakanya into love. Crazy right? but trust me, it totally makes sense.

This story is based on the imagination of the author. It was a story about a girl who became in love, was betrayed, took revenge and became in love again with the same man. I hope you like it. Also, please vote my story ;-)

Honestly what is the description of love? Is it a fairytale? Does the girl always get the prince? Are the villains always trying to mess up your storybook ending? Hell yeah. Just remember no fairytales start off happy. And this was damn sure not close to happy.
