When will get an update? I’m hooked and I need more
Love ... ... ... ... ... this book is freaking awesome. Bryant never disappoints.
I'm disappointed with Ezra. How dare he choose the company over her?
I hope that more unlock chapters so that i can read continually

I like the Book I thought it was done when I read End but now it has me wondering if it is an ongoing Book or was the Wedding the real ending?
Charlotte should not harm the kids

Fantastic ....
I need to talk about this scene where Xiao Junmo wakes up and grabs Lin Wan's wrist because WOW. The author wrote this like a dance between two predators who just realized they're not the only dangerous ones in the room. Let's break down what just happened. This man—Xiao Junmo, apparently—has been through hell. The text literally describes him as having scars 'like an ugly centipede' across his abdomen, a body forged from 'countless life-and-death battles,' and a jade pendant that marks him as connected to the imperial family. He's not just some random martial artist. He's someone who has survived wars, betrayals, assassination attempts. And the moment he opens his eyes, his first instinct isn't gratitude or confusion—it's violence. But here's where it gets interesting. Lin Wan doesn't flinch. She doesn't scream or beg. She goes from caregiver to combatant in literally one breath. One second she's wiping his fevered forehead, the next she's got a silver needle pressed to his carotid artery. The text says her 'right hand instinctively reached for the chopping knife at her waist'—this is a woman whose body remembers violence even when her mind is trying to be gentle. Their dynamic is electric because neither one is playing the role the other expects. He expects a helpless village girl he can intimidate. She expects... well, honestly, she probably expected something dangerous, but not THIS dangerous. The line where he says 'Who are you? And where is this place?' with that 'unquestionable authority' in his voice tells me everything I need to know—he's a man who has always been in control, and right now he has none of it. And Lin Wan's response—calm, cold, 'Let go. Or I'll kill you right now'—that's not bravado. That's a professional assessing a threat and making a counter-assessment. The fact that her wrist would have been crushed if she were the original body's owner but she doesn't even cry out because this body has assassin training... the author is layering these reveals so perfectly. I'm already obsessed with where this goes. Two people who have survived everything by being the most dangerous person in the room, now trapped in a ruined temple together. This is not a traditional romance setup. This is a standoff that might somehow become something else.
