Jirel Of Joiry

The CEO's Ten Million Dollar Wife
The CEO's Ten Million Dollar Wife
One night of boldness leads to a marriage of convenience. Just a plain agreement. No commitment but a lot of sex. She is liking the setup until the 'right one' came back. Without a fuss, she left, bringing the memories and another heartbeat. ********** Dumped by her two-year relationship for the reason of her being prude and frigid, Alexzia Montes proves she was otherwise. With four glasses of wine in her system, she delved into a passionate night with a stranger she randomly picked. "Do I need to pay you? How much?" she outrightly asked. "Can you afford me?" he snickers. "Just tell me how much" she stubbornly retorted. She is getting pissed by his arrogance. "500 billion dollars" he briefly replies with raised challenging brows. "What?" she mumbles in disbelief. "My present net worth is more or less 500 billion dollars" he unconcernedly replied. Stunned, she becomes quiet. "That's why you look familiar..." she frustratedly whispers, facepalming herself. The man she often sees on tv and in newspapers but hasn't met in person. The only person in the country who has a five hundred billion net worth. "CEO Lucien Wright..." she whispers in despair, almost indistinct. Of all people, she had chosen the cold and ruthless CEO of Wright Group of Companies. How could she afford him? He could even buy her, body and soul. "I need a wife, a bait for my girlfriend to come back. Name your price" he casually announced, handing her the documents. "Once she is back, you will sign the divorce paper and peacefully leave. I will pay you, just name the amount" he added. The offer is tempting Alexzia. She needs ten million dollars and it's an impossible plight but she has an easy way out, being a Ten Million Dollar Wife to CEO Wright.

What Inspired The Creation Of 'Jirel Of Joiry'?

3 Answers2025-06-24 03:13:09

As someone who's obsessed with pulp fiction history, I can tell you 'Jirel of Joiry' was groundbreaking when she first appeared in 'Weird Tales' in 1934. C.L. Moore created her partly as a response to the male-dominated sword and sorcery genre. Moore wanted a female protagonist who wasn't just a damsel or love interest but could stand toe-to-toe with Conan. The character drew from medieval warrior women legends mixed with Gothic horror elements Moore loved. Joiry's castle setting feels like something straight out of a Brontë novel, while her brutal swordplay rivals any barbarian king. What's fascinating is how Moore blended psychological depth with action - Jirel's rage and pride often drive the plots as much as external threats. This wasn't just wish fulfillment; Moore crafted a complex woman navigating supernatural horrors in a man's world, which was radical for the time.

Who Is The Author Of 'Jirel Of Joiry'?

3 Answers2025-06-24 20:45:46

The author behind 'Jirel of Joiry' is C.L. Moore, a pioneer in fantasy and science fiction. She created Jirel in the 1930s, making her one of the first female sword-and-sorcery protagonists. Moore's writing stood out for its lush, gothic style and psychological depth, a stark contrast to the pulp action of her contemporaries. Jirel's stories often blended dark fantasy with eerie, almost dreamlike settings, full of cursed castles and supernatural horrors. Moore herself was groundbreaking—she wrote under her initials to avoid gender bias, and her work influenced later authors like Leigh Brackett and Marion Zimmer Bradley. If you enjoy classic fantasy with a poetic edge, Moore's Jirel tales are essential reading.

Is 'Jirel Of Joiry' The First Female Sword And Sorcery Protagonist?

3 Answers2025-06-24 05:07:28

I've been digging into pulp fantasy history, and 'Jirel of Joiry' definitely stands out as groundbreaking. Created by C.L. Moore in the 1930s, Jirel predates most female warriors in the genre by decades. She's a fierce ruler who wields both a sword and sorcery, carving her way through dark dimensions and demonic foes when most heroines were damsels in distress. While there might be obscure earlier examples lost to time, Jirel's influence is undeniable—she inspired generations of swordswomen from 'Red Sonja' to 'Xena'. What's fascinating is how Moore wrote her with equal brutality and complexity to male protagonists, refusing to soften her for readers of that era.

Where Can I Read 'Jirel Of Joiry' Online For Free?

3 Answers2025-06-24 04:04:04

I've been hunting for free versions of 'Jirel of Joiry' too! The best legal option is Project Gutenberg—they often have classics like this in their public domain collection. Just search their site for C.L. Moore's works. Some lesser-known fan sites also archive old pulp magazines where the stories first appeared, though quality varies. Archive.org sometimes has scanned copies of the original 'Weird Tales' issues featuring Jirel's adventures. Avoid shady PDF sites; the formatting is usually awful and it risks malware. If you don't mind audio, Librivox has amateur-read versions of some stories. The prose deserves proper presentation though—Moore’s descriptions of Joiry’s haunted halls are too rich for sloppy scans.

Will 'Jirel Of Joiry' Ever Be Adapted Into A Movie Or TV Show?

3 Answers2025-06-24 11:29:44

As someone who's been obsessed with 'Jirel of Joiry' since discovering the stories in a used bookstore, I think the adaptation potential is huge but tricky. The character is groundbreaking – a sword-wielding medieval warrior woman written in the 1930s, which was revolutionary for fantasy. The problem is modern audiences might find the pacing slow compared to today's action-packed shows. Hollywood loves strong female leads now though, so if they amp up the dark fantasy elements (those surreal hell dimensions Jirel visits are pure nightmare fuel) and cast someone with real physical presence like Florence Pugh or Anya Taylor-Joy, it could work. The episodic structure fits a streaming series better than movies.

How Does 'Jirel Of Joiry' Compare To Conan The Barbarian?

3 Answers2025-06-24 06:22:56

As someone who's devoured both series multiple times, 'Jirel of Joiry' and Conan the Barbarian couldn't be more different despite both being sword-and-sorcery icons. Jirel stands out as one of the first female protagonists in the genre, battling supernatural threats with cunning and raw determination rather than brute strength. While Conan smashes through enemies with sheer physical power, Jirel often faces foes that require psychological resilience and tactical thinking. Her stories dive deeper into gothic horror elements—haunted castles, demonic possession, surreal otherworlds—while Conan's adventures focus more on earthly conquests and barbaric glory. Both excel at atmospheric storytelling, but Jirel's narratives feel more introspective, exploring themes of vengeance and existential dread that Conan rarely touches.
