From EDSA Revolution to Mendiola Massacere, this is a rumination on how the Philippines become slave under the grim cold shadow of poverty. The story is a reflection of  life of  every Filipino struggling to survive injustice and corruptions in an imbalanced society. The life of Santiago Vargas is microcosm of the whole Filipino people. Excerpts: "I would continue to fight using books instead of guns,"  "A poor man's life is much more colourful, do you believe that?"  " Everyday they struggle with poverty which you won't understand if you haven't experienced it. And in the end you can say what a colorful life I had. It's the same way with teaching you're helping them to succeed by feeding their mind. It's as if they're climbing a high wall and you're the one who gave them the ladder. It's like they are crossing a river and you gave them a bridge. Isn't that a great feeling"

Very gently- her soft lips brush against mine. My eyes flutter closed and I lean back in, smiling. "Nyx, I swear to god, you are going to kill me one day" "What do you mean...?" "Forget it, you already have." ★★★★★ Nyx doesn't want the life she was given at birth. She's a fighter, not a pretty little object that needs saving. Kiran should have never been taken. He's never been a fighter, he acted more like a prince than a knight. When Nyx Maskousky was taken as a young child, she was raised as a thief, but more importantly, as a fighter. But there's a catch: she has to dress like a man, or she's immediately thrown in a cell to rot, where every fragment of her freedom will be gone- ruined. Kiran Taner was taken, along with three other children at eleven, and like everyone else, was raised as a thief. But just as the universe had seemed to want, he's never been strong enough, and has to spend long hours every evening with a woman he can't hide feelings from- Nyx Maskousky. But with a horrible twist of fate, Nyx and Kiran was caught- however not by the exterminators, but by the Trial judges- who put both of them together in the them. However, if they find out that Nyx isn't a man- her whole life will be torn apart, and she will be locked up, or worse, killed. And the trials will easily be Kiran's end, for how strong everyone else is, yet how weak he was. And with a terrible level of self control, Kiran needs to keep his feelings from Nyx for as long as he can. Or that could be his downfall. Extra details: Includes music in a majority of the chapters, thank you to all the creators who made them 🙏. This novel does have deeper meanings as it progresses, so please stick around for it.

Reborn in the 1980s: I became a stepmother in the 1980s by TiggerBrian

Once she opened her eyes, Si Nian became the fake wealthy daughter straight out of a period drama, only to be sent back to the countryside to marry a divorced man in place of the real wealthy daughter, and on top of that, she had to raise a bunch of brats. Not only that, she also ran into the reincarnated real wealthy daughter. In her previous life, Lin Si Si was pressured by her family to marry an older divorced man who treated her coldly and indifferently. Meanwhile, Si Nian, who stole her wealthy daughter status, married a military officer and lived a sweet and happy life. In her second chance at life, she was determined to steal Si Nian's military officer husband and make her taste the bitterness she had endured. But the real wealthy daughter's plans didn't go as expected. Instead, Si Nian stayed by the side of the older man, amassed a fortune of billions, and her children flourished. When she was brought before the older man, Si Nian was not at all flustered: "This is the man who would rather help others raise children and adamantly refuses to have his own." While others avoided him, Si Nian's eyes lit up: "Firstly, being a mother is a noble act, and secondly, I will be a great stepmother." Years later, after the real wealthy daughter dealt with the military officer's illegitimate child and was robbed of her inheritance, she found herself in unbearable misery. She thought to herself, even if it's not ideal, it's still better than how Si Nian is living. Having children or not, raising others' children - what's the difference from being a nanny? But one day, that terrifyingly cold and fierce wealthy man, who was now tenderly supporting the pregnant Si Nian out of the car, cradled her in his hands with such affection that it was beyond measure. Si Nian angrily pulled the man's hair, "Didn't you say you didn't want children!" The older man gently kissed her hand, "Wife, I was wrong. I'll consider having one next time."

He is mad in revenge now and wants her to regret messing with him. She challenged his ego and he is not going to leave her anytime soon He clenched his hand into a fist in anger thinking of Meerab's behaviour.

He can't wait to live that day and he will try hard to make it soon "Girls like her don't deserve to be my friend and she is my wife unfortunately but I don't consider her as the one. I will divorce her once I complete my revenge", Murtasim thought and sat on a white chair and looked at the decorations which are meant for their wedding night but here he was running away from the same marriage because he found Meerab a non deserving girl for him.
