Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé.Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?Wrong.One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.Enter him.Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.And now, he’s not letting me go.

He is handsome, arrogant and is of the elite class. Being straightforward and brave, she shamelessly pursued him, sending him gifts, flowers and tried to get close to him. She was humiliated when his staff gossiped about her and retreated. Then he rejected her and told her they could only be friends. She avoided him but no matter how much she tried, they frequently cross paths.

Suddenly one day he told her. “I want to be your boyfriend.”

What a mess! ! !

Lu Jun, while traveling in Bashu, casually purchased a White Tiger pendant, only to discover it was connected to the White Tiger Totem. This unexpected event forced him to traverse into the world of Versatile Mage, a parallel universe to Blue Star. In this realm, magic flourishes, and monsters run rampant. (The story is designed to be understood without prior knowledge of the original novel, with the setting gradually unfolding.)Through the fusion of dual origins, Lu Jun awakens an innate dual-element talent and gains mastery over the never-before-seen Metal element.In the face of monstrous invasions, humanity's precarious survival, and constant infighting, Lu Jun stands atop the Sacred City and declares resolutely:“I am the King of the World. Who approves? Who opposes?”“Even if I must bear the Abyss of Calamity and hold up the Sacred City single-handedly, I, Lu Jun, remain invincible in this world!”“Sword, come!”With a single strike, the seven Archangels are nailed to the city walls, a sight that shocks all. The bodies of seven Red Cardinals pave a road of blood and boneDisclaimer: I don't own Versatile Mage or the Fan fiction i am just Translating
