What happens when the love of your life, who is also your boss, accuses you of stealing the company's funds and selling some information? If you didn't guess it right, I will tell you. He does not want to hear your point of view, sacks and blacklists you. You move away from him, and find out that you are pregnant with his baby. You plan on telling him, but he has you blocked everywhere. Years later, you are happy, and doing well, then you find out he is in your new city, and working on a project with the company you now work for. Will you give into his charm? Will you tell him about his children? Will you give him another chance when he asks?

Two loner nerds, one connection. Min Hui might be cold and quiet, but she is fiercely opinionated and confident. She believes that all she needs is her and herself only. That is until she meets Xu Zi Quan. Alike but different, they connect on a whole new level. Through a slow burn strangers-to-friends-to-lovers romance, they get closer. Xu Zi Quan is quiet and even logical as well, but also emotional and soft, clashing with Min Hui's clean-cut outlook on life. Are they too different, or can they make it work? Note: -Content Warning: slight swearing (otherwise for general audiences) -written in traditional book style -chapters are usually more than 1,000 and less than 2,000 words -character development is prioritized over plot -both leads are deeply flawed -Min Hui's Pov (plenty of inner monologue) -when I say slow burn, I mean slow burn -Min Hui is an INTJ female and Xu Zi Quan is an INFJ male. (Myers Briggs) -An INTJ female and an INFJ male is the rarest pair possible. This is because the rarest personality type is INFJ, and within that, males are even more uncommon. The second rarest is INTJ, which has less woman than men. Together, they are incredibly scarce. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ About me in particular: -I happen to be an INTJ female, so I can authentically represent one. -Because of that, I thought why not give the rarest pairing a try? Who better than me to write one? Writing process: Each chapter usually gets about 2-3 sittings. The first lasting about 3ish hours and the second tends to be half that. If it is a particularly difficult chapter, maybe be even a third sitting. So, expect chapters every 2-4 days. Of course, unforeseen circumstances can occur, so thanks for your patience! While writing this I was listening to the following songs: 无法抗拒的你 - https://open.spotify.com/track/3UIGjEhegNpwGvgGj2vXOd?si=5f8ec8bca5c04483

'When the heart is talking, the head has no choice but to shut up!' Chin-hwa and Kang-woo grew up together; they had never been separated before, and without knowing, both started growing feelings for each other. They kept this a secret, of course, but it looked like keeping it a secret was the very wrong decision to make because this stems forth a misunderstanding that brings about pain and suffering to both of them. It can all be fixed, though, with a simple confession. But who would make the confession when both were too worried about the other hating them for secretly bearing feelings for them? It couldn't be fixed. Then, a bitter and painful separation occurred that changed Chin-hwa's life. A separation that took away his shining star. His Byul. But when he thought he would never see his Byul shining again, Kang-woo returns out of nowhere with far more charms and brilliance than he had three years ago. The charms of a dominant Omega. But... Just coming back wasn't enough to heal Chin-hwa of the pain in his heart. He was tired. So, instead of trying to get back to how things used to be, he decides to create a new route in front of them, shun his feelings, and push Kang-woo toward one of his friends in hopes that he doesn't fall any deeper than he already was. But fate had other plans, of course. Their hearts and souls had been bound from the moment they were born, so no matter the obstacle they had to face, they would surely end up together. After all, they just can't live without each other.

Estella was betrothed to Viscount Alistair Ravensdale, a man in his seventies and old enough to be her grandfather. The thought of belonging to him made her sick. But she had no choice. As the illegitimate daughter of the Baron of Cleverview, she had known only servitude under her stepmother, the Baroness, and her twin stepsisters, Geraldine and Georgina. Estella became the price of his silence when the Baron embezzled public funds to indulge his wife’s extravagant tastes. The Viscount, willing to cover up the debt, demanded her as payment. She would be his fourth wife and the only one still alive. Estella would rather die than waste away in an isolated castle bound to a man she loathed. Duke Félix of Châteaubriant was engaged to the King of England’s daughter, Coralie. No one had forced him into it, and no one could. He needed a duchess to manage his estates and was growing tired of fleeting affairs. To him, marriage was a contract and a practical arrangement. But that was before Estella. A chance encounter at Lady Agatha’s ball left the Duke and Estella in a compromising situation. Seeing an opportunity, Estella blackmailed Felix into granting her the one thing she had always wanted: freedom from her family and the future they had imposed on her only if the Baron and Baroness would let her go without a fight. Would her gamble pay off, or had she only succeeded in trading one cage for another?

… “Is something wrong?” He sighed. He stayed quiet for a few seconds before he spoke. “I don’t think we should continue this partnership.” His tone sent chills down my spine.  “What do you mean?” I questioned. “Your feelings,” he said ‘feelings’ like the word disgusted him, “have changed and it no longer aligns with the agenda.” “How dare you? Who gave you information that helped get your company back from the Gulfs? Who was it that kept feeding you information about the Gulfs businesses. It was me.” I yelled, my tone no longer friendly.  I’d met Gabriel when he had recently lost his company to Christian. He was at the brink of bankruptcy and Christian had made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. He’d been stupid enough to sign a contract without reading it because he was desperate, and ended up losing more than they’d originally agreed. “Now that you have your precious company back and some shares in the Gulf enterprise you think you can dump me with a stupid excuse like our motives no longer align? Don’t you fucking dare. I own you.” I shook with rage, ending the call before he had a chance to reply to me. My rage immediately became fear when I turned around and saw Christian standing by the door in my room. “So you did take me up on my offer.” He was smiling, and the contrast in his words and demeanor only made me more afraid. 

She gave up her dream of shining on the ballerina stage —for him. She sacrificed her self-respect —for him. She forgot her true identity —for him. But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart.

The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away. What she didn’t expect was that in breaking free from Ryan, she had opened the door for Aiden to enter her life — a chance that he had been waiting for. Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again. ____ Excerpt: Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.
