Ia harus bisa membujuk kakak seperguruannya yang cantik ini untuk melakukan dual kultivasi. Masing-masing unsur elemental akan mematikan satu titik racun dari lima titik Racun pemikat Asmara ini. Walaupun ia termasuk Jenius Medis yang hanya ada seribu tahun sekali, tapi ia tetap tak mampu menghancurkan racun dari wanita yang menghabisi seluruh keluarganya. Wanita ini terkenal sebagai Black Rose Angel, karena memiliki tato mawar hitam di daerah sensitifnya, yang akan muncul sesaat setelah berhubungan intim. Selain itu, Kevin juga dijodohkan dengan putri konglomerat di Winchester City oleh gurunya. Dewi Medis berhasil menyembuhkan total penyakit konglomerat nomor satu di Winchester City ini sehingga ia meminta kompensasi pertunangan antra Kevin, muridnya dengan Isabella Windsor... putri dari Arthur Windsor, pengusaha tambang dan property terkemuka. Kelima kakak seperguruan Kevin ada di Winchester City, Brixtone City, Glouchester Village, Yorkshire Village, dan Mildshire City. Kevin juga bertekad membersihkan nama orangtuanya sekaligus membangkitkan kembali Braxton Empire, perusahaan raksasa ayahnya yang tumbang setelah pembantaian keluarganya. Berhasilkah Kevin menemukan kelima kakak seperguruannya yang cantik ini sebelum nyawanya melayang? Siapa sebenarnya Black Rose Angel yang diduga menjadi otak pembunuhan keluarga Kevin?

Setelah mati mendadak karena lembur berlebihan, Levana terlempar ke dalam novel berlatar belakang dunia manusia binatang dan merasa bingung total! Ayah pemilik tubuh asli adalah seorang manusia binatang pengembara. Ayahnya memaksa lima manusia binatang untuk membentuk ikatan pasangan dengannya. Saat ini, dia sudah menyiksa kelima suami manusia binatangnya sampai sekarat. Tak lama lagi, mereka semua akan berubah menjadi jahat dan dia akan berakhir tragis! Levana pun menyusun rencana dalam semalam. Dia berencana untuk mencari perlindungan kepada ayahnya yang merupakan petarung tingkat tertinggi, lalu memutuskan ikatan pasangan dengan para antagonis itu dengan perjanjian darah. Ketika Levana memanfaatkan ruang penyimpanan untuk mengumpulkan kristal inti binatang dan menanam tanaman untuk bertahan hidup, tatapan para suami manusia binatang antagonisnya terhadapnya menjadi makin aneh. Ular putih berbisa yang angkuh melilit Levana dengan ekornya. Dia berkata dengan tatapan penuh kasih sayang, "Vana, selama aku hidup, jangan harap kamu bisa putuskan ikatan pasangan denganku." Ikan duyung yang tampan melingkarkan lengannya di pinggang Levana dan memohon dengan suara menggoda, "Aku akan bernyanyi untukmu. Jangan campakkan aku." Singa jantan dengan surai hitam menundukkan dan menggesekkan wajahnya ke wajah Levana. "Levana, selama kamu nggak meninggalkanku, aku bahkan rela berikan nyawaku padamu." Rubah merah yang menggoda mendekap Levana dan berbisik di telinganya, "Apa yang pernah kamu lakukan padaku, aku mau tagih dengan berlipat ganda." Bangau pendeta yang dingin menunduk untuk menatap Levana. "Aku nggak peduli kamu itu siapa, atau dari mana kamu berasal. Cuma kamu satu-satunya pasangan betinaku." Levana pun merasa kebingungan. "Hah? Bukannya kalian benci sama aku karena dipaksa membentuk ikatan pasangan denganku? Kita akan putuskan ikatan itu. Kenapa kalian malah nggak bersedia?"

Dad is famous for being a total simp over Mom in the elite society. Naturally, he views Callie Archer, the stepdaughter whom Mom has brought with her, as his own. But Callie is afflicted with a severe case of walking phobia. Her feet couldn't touch the ground at all. Only when she's stepping on my back can she roam around in the house freely. So, whenever Callie looks in a certain direction, Mom will press my head down and force me to crawl toward Callie to serve as her doormat. The doctor issues a warning to my family that my spine is severely contorted. So when Callie wants to admire the flowers in the yard while wearing a pair of spiked shoes again, I can't endure the pain anymore, so I shiver slightly out of instinct. Callie ends up losing her balance and falling to the ground. She bawls like a baby afterward. Mom rushes over immediately before kicking me in the gut, her high heel lodging into my flesh. "It's extremely rare for Callie to be willing to leave the house! Why must you ruin her mood? Can't you just be more understanding and play your role as a doormat for the sake of your sister's illness?" Meanwhile, Dad scoops Callie into his arms, his heart bleeding for her plight. He coaxes her gently, telling her that he'll buy her new dresses later. I can only curl up on the ground while hacking up blood. But Dad just thinks I'm playing the pity card. He commands his men to throw me into the basement. Apparently, I can only be released once I've learned to stay stationary when I'm supporting Callie. As I clutch my broken ribs, I feel my tears flowing down my face as well as the blood from my injuries. I'm sorry, Dad. Next time, I will definitely not move a muscle, just like a corpse.

My sister, Fiona Miller, has recently opened a luxury spa for business. As such, I bring Dad along to check it out. Of course, we pick the most expensive treatment package available. But barely a few presses from the male therapist, and Dad feels a sharp pain in his chest and can't seem to breathe properly. All the color drains from his face, and cold sweat starts beading on his forehead. I call the manager over, but he seems annoyed. "Oh, he just has poor blood circulation. He'll be fine after the massage. That's just a normal reaction." I can't believe what I'm hearing. "My father has a heart condition. What are you lot even doing to him?" The manager, Seth Zeller, explodes as if I've insulted him and raises his voice. "That's his own pre-existing condition. How is that our problem? We run a legitimate business here. No refunds once treatment begins. Got it?" I gesture at the credentials displayed on the wall. "I don't see your name anywhere up there. You're not even certified. Is this the kind of operation Fiona's running?" Seth folds his arms across his chest, looking down his nose at us. "I'm the boss here. You and your dad look broke as hell. I can tell you're just trying to get a free massage and walk out without paying." "Let me spell it out for you. This package is 38,000 dollars. Adding in the cost of my emotional distress and lost time, the total is 100,000 dollars. Pay up now, or I'm having you both arrested." A massage that almost kills Dad costs 100,000 dollars? So that's why Fiona was suddenly so eager to open this spa. As it turns out, she and her boyfriend are running a fraud scheme. I reach for my phone to call her, but Seth is already making a video call. "Babe, you need to get here right now. A couple of deadbeats are trying to get a free massage and walk away without paying."

When I'm having a meal with my family at home, I find out that my childhood sweetheart, Melanie Johnson, has given up on an opportunity to get promoted and transferred to the military base in the north for the sake of my cousin, Wilson Chandler. "Wilson's competence is only good enough for him to study at a local college in town. It so happens that Mrs. Holland is in poor health as well. I've already applied for a local college for you. We shall stay in this town together." My mom adds, "That's right. I did promise your uncle that I'll take good care of Wilson, so you need to help me take care of him too. You should just give up on Valmore College—it's useless for you anyway. When you marry Melanie in the future, you'll have to follow her to whichever military district she's going to." Before I can even speak up, Wilson's eyes redden instantly, making him look very aggrieved. "This is my fault for being a total loser. My parents aren't here anymore, not to mention I'm the reason why Charlie can't attend his dream college. Why don't you all just leave and do whatever you want? I'm fine being alone." The moment Wilson starts playing the pity card, both my mom and Melanie panic instantly and start doing their best to comfort him. Meanwhile, I return to my room quietly and withdrew the application that Melanie helped me submit. Luckily, I manage to apply to Valmore College one second before the submission deadline ends. Honestly speaking, I intend to study at Valmore College not just because I can be closer to Melanie in terms of distance, but I also want to watch the snow with her there. I want us to walk together in the snow till our heads turn white from the flakes, signifying the longevity in our relationship. But now, the person standing next to me as I watch the snowfall doesn't matter to me anymore. It's just that I need to watch the snowfall no matter what.

On the six-year anniversary of my relationship with my girlfriend, Sheila Loom, I buy some groceries with the intention to surprise her with a home-cooked meal. After I'm done, I head over to Sheila's place right away. That's when the reel I was watching automatically skips to the next one. It's a live stream where people call in to discuss legal matters. A familiar feminine voice drifts to my ears at that moment. "My boyfriend shelled out 500 thousand dollars to put me through school. I've already paid ten thousand back to him. "At first, I wanted to clear the debt before breaking up with him, but I don't want to wait any longer. If he insists on taking me to court after the breakup, can I still pay the debt off slowly?" Almost immediately, comments flood into the comments section, chewing her out and calling her a heartless wench. But the voice replies calmly, "If I truly were heartless, I wouldn't have paid him back to begin with. I no longer have feelings for him. Are you saying that I should sacrifice the rest of my life just so I can pay 500 thousand dollars back to him?" My heart skips a beat at that moment. It's true that I've spent 500 thousand dollars putting Sheila through school over the years. But I feel that I'm overthinking it, seeing as she's never brought up the matter of wanting to pay me back before. After I call Sheila repeatedly for half an hour, she finally answers my latest phone call. At the same time, the woman's phone call that's connected to the live stream is cut off. "It's my birthday today, Sheila—" "Have you secretly come looking for me again? Didn't we agree that we'll only meet up after you've successfully gotten into college?" I don't get to finish the rest of my sentence. Suddenly, I catch a glimpse of the notebook sitting on the corner of Sheila's table. The first page shows "debt repayment ledger". Some of the details are as shown. "The SAT study materials I bought for him: 188 dollars." "The Uber fees I've paid for him: 35 dollars." "The cologne I've gifted him on his birthday: 380 dollars." "Total: ten thousand dollars now paid."

VOLUME 1 TRILOGIA ILHA DO CORVO — Eu não amo você. — murmurei. Ele deixou seu vinho de lado e se levantou, devagar ele diminuiu a distância entre nós, e com a ponta dos dedos tocou meu queixo, seu olhar vagou para minha boca e depois permaneceu em meus olhos. — Eu também não a amo princesa, e nem pretendo. Ele disse essas palavras com total frieza e se afastou se sentando novamente e isso me enfureceu. — Por que lutar em um torneio pela minha mão então? tudo isso porque sou uma princesa? —disparei. — Você é uma princesa Lancaster e eu preciso de um herdeiro digno. — Eu desejo que meu ventre seja seco como as areias do deserto, comandante. Ele me encarou e vi um lampejo de raiva em seus olhos negros, mas no mesmo instante ele o escondeu e colocou seu sorriso cínico no lugar. — Então nesse caso teríamos que tentar muitas vezes querida, até que seu ventre se torne menos seco, eu tentaria pelo resto da vida até. — rebateu maliciosamente.
