Shannon Cole has always survived by noticing what others miss. Numbers stick. Faces linger. Conversations don't fade. In the hood, that kind of mind doesn't stay unnoticed-it gets used. Shannon has become a quiet resource, passed between crews whenever something needs remembering, calculating, or confirming. He tells himself it's temporary. Just helping. Just staying afloat. Until everyone wants him. As gangs begin circling closer, access to Shannon turns into competition-and then into risk. Because when too many people want what you know, someone eventually decides you're too valuable to share. Tiger Laurent doesn't compete. He decides. Tiger runs things with calm precision, and when he claims Shannon, it isn't curiosity-it's control. Pulled out of circulation and placed under Tiger's watch, Shannon finds himself safer than he's ever been-and more trapped than he imagined possible. Protection blurs into possession. Use starts to feel permanent. And the more indispensable Shannon becomes, the harder it is to tell whether he's being kept alive... or quietly erased.

Ji Congzhe is a spoiled and overbearing second-generation rich. He pursued a goddess for three months and failed. The goddess changed her aloofness and threw herself into the arms of a male college student with a shy smile. Ji Congzhe was so angry that he prepared to teach his rival a lesson. As a result, during the scuffle, a car accident took him back to 1988. Due to his poor family background, Ji Congzhe volunteered to marry a bachelor from the next village in order to make a living. On the wedding day, he saw a tall and arrogant man in the crowd. Who else could it be if not his stupid rival? Ji Congzhe never dreamed that one day he would not only share a bed with a man, but also plow the land and farm. As time went by, the rival gradually found him pleasing to the eye, especially the innocent and beautiful face. Ji Congzhe finally couldn't help it. Since you stole my goddess, don't blame me for attacking you. However, he never expected that the gentle and reserved rival would be so strong that he directly counterattacked Ji Congzhe. A few months later... Ji Congzhe: I feel sick. The rival glanced at his swollen waistline and said, "It's okay, you just gained weight." When the hospital's test results came out, Ji Congzhe almost fainted on the spot, and his collapsed howling echoed in the corridor. "Who can tell me why men can also give birth to babies?! ! ! " (I just translated)

IMPORTANT: Once in a Lifetime has been removed from Wattpad and is preparing for publication on Amazon. The first two chapters remain available as a preview. Please read the "READ THIS FIRST" chapter for more information and future updates. They say some loves only happen once. For Ody and Mano, that once changes everything. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen. And losing someone again isn't a risk he's willing to take. Ody is the opposite. Bright, extroverted, charming, and painfully sincere, he notices when you're hurting, even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. For someone like Mano, that kind of softness is dangerous. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. What starts as tension becomes something neither of them can name, and soon, something they can't stop. But between secrets, buried trauma, and a world that won't let them exist without consequences, wanting each other comes at a cost. One keeps pushing him away. The other keeps reaching past every warning sign. Together, they burn. But when everything catches fire, love may not be enough to save them.

If you see anything that needs a correction or have suggestions, let me know! Happy reading! ❤️ ******** One life was stolen. The next will be paid for in blood. In his first life, Ren Xiao was a sacrificial pawn-a shield for a family that eventually threw him to the wolves. He died in a cold dungeon, betrayed by his own blood. But the Heavens aren't finished with him yet. Waking up in the body of a "White Lotus" Ger known for his weakness and tears, Ren Xiao finds himself sold off to settle a debt. His new owner? General Yan Kuan, the legendary "Iron Wall of the North"-a man rumored to be as cold as the ice on his blade and twice as lethal. The Empire expects a weeping bride. The General expects a political burden. They are both wrong. Armed with the memories of a survivor and a heart forged in fire, Ren Xiao is no longer a flower to be plucked. He is a blade cloaked in silk. From the treacherous Imperial Court to the blood-stained mountain passes of the North, Ren Xiao will prove that even the fiercest General can be brought to his knees-not by tears, but by the lethal grace of the Iron Rose.

Growing up in chaos isn't simple for all. Not many could cope. They would struggle and kick, but ultimately drown. However, for Dakota, that was his normality. Torturing. Maiming. Killing. That was his life, the life of a hunter. The Arizona line was elusive, written fame in the lore of hunters, and infamy for their prey. They were the best. No one could ever compare to their skills, their abilities, their ruthlessness. But Dakota was something else. His siblings might have learnt to enjoy the hunt, well most of them anyway, but Dakota didn't. There was always something missing for him, something he was waiting on. Silent and everlasting hope. A promise had been made to him, the day his twin brother was stolen, taken by the enemy, plucked right from the very home the Arizonas had grown up in. A promise of something better, something that he might actually want in his life. Now, almost sixteen years later, something was coming. A change was begging to be found. Maybe it would be for the best. Maybe Dakota would finally find that certain something that had been missing his whole life, something to fill the dark and fractured abyss that ached and wailed within. But nothing was ever that simple. Because, of course, the promise that had been made to Dakota would never be anything plausible for him, anything tangible to have and to hold. He had been promised a new life, by the greatest enemy of them all. It wouldn't be easy. Not with his family still clinging to his heels, the teachings of blood and violence burnt into his mind. No, leaving them behind wouldn't ever be easy. Then again, staying with them would only bring his inevitable death. Why not take the chance to die happy? After all, out of the ashes, a phoenix will rise...
