Shining Lotus Bookstore

Josh Carter, a beguiling wealthy person known for his costly occasions and laid-back manner, is at crossroads. At the point when his dad dies suddenly, he is given a horrendous predicament framed in his dad's will: wed to acquire the Carter family riches, or watch everything deteriorate away. The Carter realm's past weighs intensely on Josh's shoulders, yet the idea of surrendering his unique lone fierce way of life feels like detainment. Josh makes a dangerous arrangement to get away from this unexpected circumstance. He moves toward Amy Wesley, the contemplative and bashful proprietor of a little bookstore in the downtown area, with a fascinating proposition: a contract marriage. Amy, who is lowered under water and fantasies about reestablishing her valued yet monetary striving bookstore, takes Josh's deal. They start their contract marriage, what starts as a ploy changes into considerably more. Josh's unbending facade starts to break, finding scars from a difficult past he's for quite some time tried to neglect. Amy, with secret stores of force, shrewdly directs Josh through the complexities of their bogus marriage. Their lives become weaved surprisingly, and the limits between what's valid and what's only for show get obscured. Amy finds a secret note tending to her, covered in the dusty profundities of the bookstore, similarly as they have faith in the possibility of certifiable love. The note implies a labrynth of foul play and covered thought processes that causes some qualms about Josh's real goals. Amy starts on an excursion to find the purpose for Josh's inspirations, driven by encoded hints from the note, and the plot takes an unexpected bearing. The novel closes with a strained excursion through the city's complex roads, leaving Amy's life in risk, and a dark message implying towards a perilous plot squeezing to swallow them both.

"Tentu aku sedang tidak bercanda, Tuan Zhao. Kami menawarkan bantuan padamu. Bisa kau bayangkan jika Jenderal Duan kembali ke ibukota Kaili, dibantu Sekte Keabadian, Sekte Elang Emas dan Sekte Sembilan Pintu Kematian. Kau pasti kalah!" Tetua Oey tidak lagi tersenyum ramah. "Kami hanya menginginkan Wisma Lonceng Naga, hanya itu. Dan kami akan membantumu menaklukkan Kaili sekaligus Dataran Tengah. Bukankah itu impianmu sedari kecil?" Tetua Oey kembali memprovokasi Zhao Lu Yang. "Kenapa Anda begitu percaya diri? Lotus Hitam memang sangat kuat tetapi jika berhadapan dengan Pasukan Jenderal Duan dan tiga sekte sekaligus, sekali pun bergabung denganku, itu tidak akan menjamin sebuah kemenangan." Zhao Lu Yang menatap Tetua Oey dan tersenyum tipis. "Trik dan strategi, itu yang kami tawarkan. Jangan biarkan ketiga sekte itu memiliki kesempatan untuk bergabung apalagi membantu Kaili, maka mereka semua akan berantakan dan kacau balau. Bukankah kau sudah melihat hasilnya tiga belas tahun lalu?" Tetua Oey kembali menampilkan wajah cerah dan senyum manisnya.
