Forced into a marriage neither of them wanted, a fierce Greek mafia princess and a ruthless Sicilian underboss must navigate a storm of power, passion, and betrayal-only to discover that their greatest battle might be against their own hearts. *** They hated each other from the moment they met, but little did they know, they were destined to be together. Millicent Rhea Darmos: Princess of the Greek Mafia. At 25 years old, she's established herself as a self proclaimed boss bitch, running her own publishing company. But now it's time she fulfils her duty to her family's organisation. It's time she gets married. Costantino Salvatore Accardi: Underboss and Heir to the Sicilian Mafia. At 28 years old, he has no interest in settling down-he already has it all. He believes in family above all, so why bring in an outsider? Yet, after a strange string of events, the two of them find themselves thrust into married life. It's full of chaos, drama and all kinds of tension. The question is, how do they survive their marriage and the storm that follows? *** "I've never kissed anyone." My voice trembled with a tinge of vulnerability - something I hated. But Costa didn't seem to mind that I was nervous or anxious. "Good. You're mine." He spoke so seriously, without a flicker of doubt as he took my hand in his. "So you want it be special, principessa?" "Every girl's first kiss is special." I whispered, watching as he brought my hand up to his lips. "I only care about yours."

Transported to a parallel world that resembles ancient China, Dana has to live as Da Xia - the maidservant and villain's apprentice in the mysterious, ancient book that she read in the city library. The ancient book described the story of the world where she was transported to, which was Chun Empire. But how can a modern girl like her survive in a world where some people, called 'awakened ones', have qi and where sects and martial arts abound? Not to mention the dizzying customs that combined the various traditions of all the dynasties of the ancient era? She has to find a way to return to her world. The one who can probably help her is the powerful, old hermit residing in North Mountain country as written in the ancient book. To be able to reach North Mountain country, she has to stick with the male lead and join him in his journey to the capital. The only way she can thank him is to ensure his happy ending with his female lead. Strangely, the plot of the story has gone awry.
