The man I saved destroyed my country with his own hands.

I still remembered the day when I was given the title "Consort Yu" and my husband was kneeling outside of the palace for the night.

It happened to be New Year's Eve that day, and there was a heavy snowfall.

Xu Tangan told me that he would treat me better than anyone else.

-

I could seek his power and status, but I must not seek his love.

It's the beginning of every romance novel she has ever read but when she meets an angry and tattooed older boy named Bash, her story begins to take a turn for the worse. As much as she wants to never see the boy who almost took her virginity and then threw it back at her face again, she realizes that fate will not let them be apart. Besides, Bash doesn't want to run away from the only person who has ever cared for him, even if it was for just a couple minutes.

Perfectly Imperfect by simply-caitlyn

"You and Becca should come to our party tonight." One of them says. Brittany turns to face Becca and I and asks, "Wanna go?" "Just to clarify, only you and Becca are invited." The guy beside Aaron says. "Sorry Aria, only Becca and I are invited..." Brittany says, faking sympathy. "It's okay. I have something to do after school anyway." I say, faking a smile. <~~~~~~~~~~> If you're the person the sidewalk can't fit when you're friends are walking, the third wheeler in a friendship, or the person who always gets left out in plans, you might relate to this book! This book uses some Tagalog, but I translate it beside the sentence! I use Google and my parents on the translation since I'm not perfectly fluent! :P ~Published on October 1, 2019~ ~Completed on January 12, 2020~
