----- “Alright.” “I better go now. I’ll be fine on my own now.” She grinned again while fixing her hair, tucking it neatly under the cap and turning up the hood to cover half of her face. Her guise was complete. She knew that she would pass as a boy with her current look. So she uncaringly opened the door. With one last smile she thanked him again and left. Just like that. Chen Linyun’s peace and quiet has been perturbed. ‘Take responsibility, somehow.’ He said in his mind, to the girl who just left, eyes glimmering. He gazed darkly at her fading silhouette but did not do anything anyway. ----- Chen Linyun had spent the night together in a dorm room with a drunken girl he had mistaken for a boy when he was still eighteen years old during his sophomore year in the university. Little did he know this short encounter will leave a mark in him, unable to let go of this woman who disappeared after that night. He was head-over-heels and had vowed to search for her in every part of the earth. Five years later, they met again, but the woman he once knew wasn't the same as she was before. Just after a few years, she became a domineering leader of her own empire. With his own charm, his adventure to chase the girl and convince her of his love starts in this story. It's a reverse role that the MC is a bit soft and domesticated but smart, while the FC is the strong-willed one - playful and teasing. Excerpt 2: ----- “Deal.” Chen Linyun stood up. “One more thing.” He grabbed her hand that was resting on the table. He gently guided it for her to stand up. She followed her lead and stood up, confused. The next thing she knew, she was enveloped in his warm embrace. “I missed you.” She blushed. She tried to push him away. His left hand was cradling the back of her head while his right hand secured her lower back. She was held tightly in his embrace. “Just a little longer.” She was helpless. “I’ll sue you for harassment.” “You wouldn’t do that.” He finally released her and stared at her blushing face. “This time I won’t leave your side.” ------ **PLEASE NOTE THE TRAGEDY TAG** Author has discord server and instagram!

In the concrete jungles of Montego Bay, Jamaica, 14-year-old Kyle Wilson doesn’t have much—just an absent father, a worn-out pair of shoes, and a rusted rim hanging behind his rundown school. But what he does have is height, heart, and hunger. When he stumbles across basketball for the first time, a fire ignites inside him. It’s not just a game. It’s escape. Identity. A way out. Above the Rim, Below the Poverty Line is a coming-of-age sports drama that follows Kyle from the raw streets of Jamaica to the polished courts of America, and eventually to the world stage. But talent alone won't be enough. Poverty, violence, betrayal, and self-doubt lurk around every corner. This is a journey about more than basketball—it’s about survival, legacy, and the cost of chasing greatness.

[Charming and seductive lady of fortune x Rakish, cunning heir to the conglomerate, pure love, 1v1, sweet romance.] First Meeting— He was rough and wild, and after a passionate night, Claire Shaw was left longing for more. She stretched out her snow-white foot to hook around his waist, softly setting three rules: First, no overnight stay. Second, if he finds a partner, she'll leave. Third, their relationship is strictly limited to this. No money, no constraints, only the purest primitive desires between men and women during the silent night, entangled like a starry spider web. Once it was over, she lifted her skirt and turned away heartlessly. Second Meeting— He was the conglomerate heir, dressed in a suit, noble and composed, extending his hand to her, "Hello, Ms. Shaw." Claire Shaw secretly gritted her teeth, desperately trying to halt their relationship, but was cornered by the man in the changing room, unable to escape. In that narrow space, he was a relentless hunter, and she was the tempting prey, with tension rising everywhere. Outside, female colleagues gossiped about his abs. Separated by a wall, Ethan Blackwood held her slender waist, grabbing her hand to place it on his own abs, his voice suggestive and sexy, "Trying to escape? Too late."

He abandoned baseball, the sport he truly loved, and dedicated himself to basketball—each victory a tribute to the friend who now despised him.
