Charlie No Face

As a martial arts genius, can he be despised, even his own wife can't protect? You can rest assured, I am a martial arts person, creating magic with one hand, bringing you to the peak of life. As long as you're by my side, no matter what you do, the sky will fall down, I'll let you up.

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒ Different. A word that people would use to describe her. Her hands, always scribbling in a notebook, or at the Ballet Studio dancing. Charlie's escape. Escape from the pain. The darkness. The void. She writes, or dances. To soften the edges of her life, that she desperately wants to forget. Until Leo. He too, holds a darkness within him. A void that angers him to his core, but no one knows why. He is looking for Charlie, but she is not looking for him. But what happens when two souls collide, that cannot seem to be fixed? An expressive artist, and a broken soul. Will their differences tear them apart, or bring them closer together? ☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒

My new dormmate thinks my boyfriend is a player and advises me to break up with him. After I politely reject her, she gets mad and complains about me online, saying I'm love-addled brain. Her video goes viral, and the online community calls me an ingrate who doesn't know what's good for me. When I see the smug smile on my dormmate's face, I slap her without even batting an eye. "Stop acting like you're a champion for feminism when all you can think of is making yourself seem better than other women!"

The night she comes back from her best friend's apartment after finding out her boyfriend is married, she meets a huge man sleeping on the snow in her backyard. 23-year old Charlie Jordan doesn't know what to do. After so many calls and studying, she finds out the man—Blurin Jameson— is an ex-militant whose address got mixed up on deployment day. It takes Charlie 419 Days to realize how her heart beats faster when ever they're near or when his eyes lights up... Or how she completes his amount of ribs.

“Dominick?” Charlie shouted my name in public. But I simply ignored him. “I like you! Please, say it back!” he added. Still, I ignored him and continued walking without looking back. I couldn’t turn my head from side to side when the scandal had already caught everyone’s attention. “Are you deaf? I like you!” he insisted, this time, his voice even louder compared to earlier. “I know you like me, too. So, please, come back!” Dominick and Clarissa were getting married the next day. However, at the bachelor’s party, Dominick Roy de Guzman accidentally had a one-night stand with Charlie Frost, Clarissa’s older brother.

Setelah menjemput anak, suamiku pergi ke hotel bersama sekretarisnya untuk membahas bisnis. Kebetulan, ada yang memotretnya dan mengunggahnya ke internet hingga menjadi trending topic. Aku buru-buru menelepon, tetapi suamiku malah mengakhiri panggilan dengan tidak sabar, "Kalau bukan ketemu klien di hotel, mau ketemu di mana? Di rumah? Jangan bersikap nggak masuk akal!" Aku segera mengeluarkan uang untuk menekan berita itu. Dua jam kemudian, aku malah mendapat panggilan darurat. Ketika tiba, jasad putraku sudah dingin. Tangannya memegang kartu karyawan sekretaris suamiku. Aku menangis hingga sekujur tubuhku bergetar. Nomorku diblokir Charlie, jadi tidak bisa dihubungi. Setelah mengurus prosedur di rumah sakit, Charlie akhirnya meneleponku. Suaranya dipenuhi amarah. "Kamu bawa anak kita pergi? Kenapa nggak mengabariku? Kami semua menunggunya mengambil kontrak! Cepat bawa dia kemari!" Selesai mengatakan itu, Charlie mengakhiri panggilan dan memblokirku lagi. Aku terkekeh-kekeh melihat pesan yang kukirim tidak bisa masuk. Aku bisa memberimu klien, juga bisa menghancurkan masa depanmu!

My younger brother had opened a high-end beauty salon, so I took my mother there for a facial. We picked the most expensive package, but the moment the mask was applied, Mom's face began to burn. When we peeled it off, her entire face was covered in rashes. I called for the director, but she looked impatient. "Oh, that's just a normal detox reaction." I was stunned. "Her face is practically ruined! What products are you even using?" "Ruined?" She flared up like someone had stepped on her tail. "Your mom's skin is just too bad to handle premium nutrients! Once our products are opened, they're non-refundable—got it?" I pointed to the brochure. "It says right here—'gentle and non-irritating, full refund if any adverse reaction occurs.' Is this how Stellan Fallow taught you to run a business?" She crossed her arms and lifted her chin high. "I am the boss! You and your mother look broke as hell—clearly here to mooch a free treatment. Now that it didn't work, you're trying to scam us for money? "Let me tell you something—this set costs 38 thousand, and with my emotional damages and lost wages, that's a total of 100 thousand. If you don't pay up today, I'll have the police take you both in!" A hundred thousand for a product that ruined someone's face? It was no wonder Stellan suddenly wanted to open a salon—it turned out he and his girlfriend were running a scam together! I was about to call Stellan, but before I could, she hit the video dial first. "Bubby, get over here—two broke idiots tried to freeload a treatment and now they're trying to shake us down for money!"

Because I had a face that screamed 'pick-me girl', I became the target of my mother's deepest hatred. She claimed that just seeing me made her sick, bringing back memories of my father's affair. In retaliation, she channeled all her affection into helping a child from a poor village, praising her for being kind and genuine while insisting she loved her hundreds of times more than she ever loved me. But then that same girl went behind my back and seduced my boyfriend, and my mother reacted by hitting me across the face repeatedly. "How did I end up with such a shameless daughter? You're the third wheel, and you're accusing her of being the other woman!" Yet when I fell gravely ill with cancer, she was beside herself with grief, begging for forgiveness while praying earnestly. "How could I not love you, my dear? I've made such terrible mistakes…"

I transmigrated into a trashy, tragic romance as the vicious side character. By the time I arrived, the story had already reached its ending. I had caused the female lead to lose her SAT opportunity, and my two older brothers forced me to my knees. My eldest brother, Lucas Sherman, beat me mercilessly with a stick. He hissed, "Slap yourself 1000 times before you can get up." My older brother, Charlie Sherman, threw a bottle of pesticide at me. He spat, "Someone as vicious as you should just die." I let out a cold laugh and picked up the pesticide bottle, downing it in one gulp. Lucas and Charlie turned pale with shock. "Are you insane? You actually drank it!"
