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!

Ava Summers is the perfect daughter — business mogul, top of her class, future queen of spreadsheets, and the only Summers twin with functioning brain cells. She's survived nineteen years sharing a womb, a mansion, and half of her DNA with Eva Summers — the human embodiment of bad decisions who once tried to roast marshmallows on scented candles and nearly set the entire estate on fire. So when their parents arranged one of them to marry Zeke Ford — the kingdom's most notorious heartbreaker — Ava took one for the team. She didn't flinch. She didn't panic. She blinked once... probably because she was three glasses of margaritas deep after Eva spiked her drink and slid a suspicious contract under her nose — a contract that would transfer all of Ava's businesses and birthright to Eva if she refused to marry Zeke. It was the first plan Eva ever pulled off successfully — and she regretted it the moment the Fords switched the grooms at the last minute. Instead of waking up legally bound to Zeke — the charming, half-witted flirt who collects women like decorative throw pillows — Ava finds herself married to Zach Ford — the cold, brooding, emotionally constipated twin brother who hasn't smiled since the dinosaurs went extinct. The Ford family hoped Eva's lively personality would drag Zach out of his miserable cave of grief and bad attitude after his fiancée's death. Too bad they accidentally married him to the kingdom's most neurotic control freak instead. Now Ava has a whole lifetime to survive a forced marriage to a man who communicates in glances, grunts, and the occasional eyebrow twitch, convince everyone she's madly in love with her new husband... And figure out how to legally murder her sister without ruining the family name. The plan was supposed to save the Summers' reputation. Not burn the whole kingdom to the ground. "With This Ring, I Loathe You—Yes, I do." A laugh-out-loud enemies-to-lovers rom-com about one grumpy recluse, one reluctant perfectionist, and one contractual catastrophe that will either end in true love... Or arson with tax deductions.

A character whose fate was nothing but suffering just for daring to bully the heroine. The heroine, who had four powerful, obsessed men at her beck and call. Oh, no! Watch as Solana fights to rewrite her fate as Genevieve Valentine, dodging a grim ending at the hands of four powerful men — men with the same dark secret and an even darker obsession.

I gave stern orders for no one to disturb me for the entirety of the day." her austere voice rang out. "I... I know my princess... please forgive me... I... I did not mean to disturb you but... this is something very important." "Let's have it then." replied Angelica closing the book she had been reading as she laid eyes on the maid. The maid gulped, the fear evident in her eyes, she did not know how Angelica would react to the severely bad news she had brought with her, however, one thing was sure, Angelica would not react lightly at all. "My... m...y prince...ss the..." said the maid, causing Angelica to sigh in annoyance, rolling her eyes, she had better things to do than sit here listening to the maid's mumbling. "Yes, say it." said Angelica giving the maid a hand. "My princess, the crowned prince has returned." said the maid. "Oh... well that's nice... I guess I will see him later, or better yet tomorrow. There is no rush, I am sure he is swarmed by crowds at the moment." replied Angelica lazily, she really had no intention of moving from this spot. "But my princess... ther— " "Oh, you're right, it would be unacceptable if I did not come out to greet him, rumours would certainly ensue and the kingdom would be in serious hysteria as they always are." replied Angelica annoyed. "Yes, you are right, I should go and welcome him back home." said Angelica as she stood up and yawned. "My princess... that is not all, there is something else..." said the maid. "And what is that?" asked Angelica as the maid's eyes darted around the room, she did not know what to do, or how best to put this. "My princess... the... the crowned prince has truly returned but..." said the maid with a prolonged pause. "But what?" asked Angelica, her senses tingling, she had a inking that there was something wrong from the maid's strange behaviour. "But his highness..." paused the maid. "Out with it now!" said Angelica sternly. "His highness has returned with a strange woman and the rumours claim that she is his new wife!" spat out the maid as Angelica suddenly felt lightheaded and she fell back down on the chair. "My princess!" cried the maid as she rushed to her. "This is some sort of farce." said Angelica as the maid proceeded quickly to fan her with a cloth. "No my princess... it is true." replied the maid. "This is impossible. Ian must be mad, I am going to see this display of stupidity for myself!" said Angelica hotly, quickly rising up and storming out of the room as the poor maid followed behind her. ||||
