Reborn Young Miss: Phoenix Burning Red

[Status: COMPLETED] In her previous life, Adrienne Jiang had used all means to save her mother’s life. Her father had neglected her after marrying his mistress, allowing the mother-and-daughter pair to bully her to no end. The older brother whom she thought she could rely on gave her a cold shoulder and chastised her instead for not cutting their mother’s life support. In her despair, Adrienne almost fell into the trap set by her stepsister. In the end, she entered a contractual marriage with her best friend’s brother, Alistair Han, a man she’d been carrying a torch for from a young age. Only then did she realize that the man was manipulative and obsessive, not wanting her out of sight. She had been treated like a bird trapped in a golden cage. In the end, she met her demise at the betrayal of her brother and everything was lost in the fire. After being reborn, she was determined not to continue being a good-for-nothing person. Lennox Qin, the vicious young master of the Qin family, was set to become the next head of their family. However, because of an incident, he was crippled and deemed unworthy. When he and Adrienne’s paths crossed, they came to an agreement. “I’ll marry you to remove your bad luck and be your wife for two years. In return, allow me to use you to destroy the Han and Jiang families.” The man seated in a wheelchair merely raised a brow at her declaration. His lips then curled into a dashing smile and he agreed without batting an eyelid. However, when the time was almost up, he rushed to convince her to stay in their marriage. “Madam Qin deserves the best. If it’s the world you desire, I’ll bring it to you on a silver platter. You can have the entire world, but darling, do not forget that while everything belongs to you, you belong to me.” Adrienne furrowed her brows. “But you don’t even like me...” She reasoned out, thinking that her husband might have lost his mind. “No, I didn’t, but I do love you now. In fact, you are the only one I think of these days.” However, it seemed to her that not only her husband was trying to get her attention but her in-laws as well.

To Become a Monster (2)

Lennox saw one of the three men reach for Myrtle, grab her arm, and spin her around sharply before throwing her to the ground. Myrtle let out a cry in pain. Lennox ran and tackled the man on the ground before he could think and realize what he'd done. Seeing Myrtle hurt by someone made him see red at that moment, allowing him to release all his pent-up frustrations at the same time.

He hadn't noticed Jasper and Jet going to the other two men as Lennox pounded his fist at Myrtle's attacker. Every punch was heavy, landing with a satisfying thud. Lennox's adrenaline-fueled rage consumed him as he relentlessly delivered blow after blow to the man beneath him. If only his fist could land on that person he despised the most; he wanted to beat Alistair to a pulp at that very moment.

The sound of bones cracking echoed through the air, mingling with Myrtle's cries of pain, until finally, the assailant lay motionless on the ground.
