marks for effort

After five years, Ning Xi returned to the place that had pushed her away — home. With a sister who turned her parents against her and made her childhood sweetheart betray her, the odds seemed grey. However, five years abroad had changed her, and she came home to fulfil her childhood dream of becoming an actress. Despite her evil sister still out to get her, tables will be turned. One day, after falling into one of her sister's schemes, she saves an adorable kid and found herself staying at his house to help him come out of his shell. Slowly, his father Lu Tingxiao began falling for her. This was before they realised how their lives had been intertwined all this while without their knowledge.

Nach fünf Jahren kehrte Ning Xi an den Ort zurück, der sie weggestoßen hatte - nach Hause. Mit einer Schwester, die ihre Eltern gegen sie aufbrachte und ihre Jugendliebe dazu brachte, sie zu betrügen, schienen die Chancen schlecht zu stehen. Doch fünf Jahre im Ausland hatten sie verändert, und sie kam nach Hause, um sich ihren Kindheitstraum zu erfüllen: Schauspielerin zu werden. Obwohl ihre böse Schwester immer noch hinter ihr her ist, wird sich der Spieß umdrehen. Eines Tages, nachdem sie auf einen Plan ihrer Schwester hereingefallen ist, rettet sie einen reizenden Jungen und wohnt bei ihm zu Hause, um ihm zu helfen, aus seinem Schneckenhaus herauszukommen. Langsam begann sein Vater Lu Tingxiao, sich in sie zu verlieben. Das war, bevor sie merkten, wie ihre Leben die ganze Zeit über ohne ihr Wissen miteinander verflochten waren.

Uma coleção com alguns poemas que eu escrevo ao longo do tempo, normalmente curtos, mas haverá um capitulo por dia. Os poemas que eu mais gostar vão ser postados como histórias independentes e vão ter uma continuação. ( essa história faz parte de outra chamada The voice of Silence que sai em novembro )

Lila Bennett, burdened by the immense debt incurred during her mother's illness, is forced to sign a mysterious blood donation contract. The agreement requires her to donate blood six times over the course of six months to a reclusive billionaire on a secluded island, in exchange for an irresistible fortune. As she steps onto the isolated island, her heart is filled with anxiety and unease. Over time, Lila Bennett becomes familiar with the people on the island and eventually meets the pale and strikingly beautiful Alexander Reed, a man who seems otherworldly. Alexander's extraordinary aura and mysterious charm deeply captivate Lila, drawing her into a growing affection for him. However, as her curiosity grows, a terrifying truth begins to surface—the people around Alexander, including himself, are vampires who have lived for millennia. Lila Bennett's blood is of unparalleled value to Alexander Reed; her rare "golden blood" allows him to stand in sunlight, something he has sought for over a thousand years. As Lila's dependence on him deepens, Alexander's desire to control her becomes increasingly powerful. Caught between love and survival, Lila must navigate this dangerous game of desire and peril. Will she find a way out, or will she become another tragic chapter in Alexander Reed's immortal existence?

When a mark suddenly appeared on her arm the day she went over to her aunts place. just when she thought nothing much of it... ...scratch that She thought everything about it.

At Astraeon Academy, the moon decides every fate. Each student is born under a single lunar sign, blessed with a power unique to their mark. But the girl who was once powerless awakens to an impossible destiny-five moon marks blazing across her skin. Such a thing has never existed... and neither has the bond it forges. Now, five formidable boys, each carrying one of the marks she mirrors, are drawn to her as if by an unseen force-bound by magic, danger, and a fate that could change the academy forever.

--- – Dark & Alluring (Gothic Romance Style) She woke in a mansion draped in silence, where shadows whispered her name. Pilea never asked for this fate—to be bound to Androsen, the cold and beautiful master whose eyes hold both ruin and desire. Every step she takes in his world tightens the invisible chain between them. But beneath his flawless exterior lies a darkness that hungers—for her trust, her soul… perhaps her blood. When her brother Sam risks everything to save her, Pilea must face a cruel truth: freedom is not always found beyond the walls—it might be in the hands of the one she fears most. In a world where kindness hides behind cruelty, and love tastes like danger, one question remains: Will she escape the bite of fate—or surrender to its sweetest mark? A haunting tale of love, power, and the secrets that bind two souls beneath the same dark sky.

The world of Luanar is ruled by Marks and Gifts. Family lines that are so old they date thousands of years and hold respect and those that are new and fresh but powerful. Both the Families and their Marks or Gifts are catagorized in different hierarchies and must be respected or looked down upon. "She has four Marks and...and four Gifts sire." The old woman whispered in a trembling voice. The man before her frowned in thought. "I see." Was the man's only response before he nodded and a swift blade cut through the frail old woman's neck. Thud. Thud. Thud. Her head bounced three time on the cold stone floor before it rolled to the dark damp corner of her cell. "I wish I could have done more...I wish ." The old woman thought, her pale cheek against the damp stones and her conscious slowly fading to black as death finally took her.

Li Fan wasn’t expecting much from life. One moment, he was in his room, flaming strangers in an online game; the next, he woke up bloody, bruised, and very much dead in the middle of the Ethereal Flame Sect, a place where talentless disciples like him were used as stepping stones by stronger. Which was... pretty much everyone. But before he could fully process his murder-by-senior-brothers, a blue window pops into existence: [Initializing… Sign-In Growth System] Now Li Fan has a second chance… …with a system that increases his power ONLY if he suffers, sweats, struggles, bleeds, and nearly dies of exhaustion every single day. Perfect for someone who just wanted a peaceful gaming life. With no spiritual root, no future, and no talent, Li Fan has one goal: Train just enough to survive… without attracting the attention of anyone who can kill him. Simple, right? Wrong.
