Second Take On Romance - The A-List Actor Wants Me - Chapter 241 : Slapped Hard In The Face

In a vast fantasy world where countless dangers lurk for humans and demi-humans alike, no creature is more fearsome or powerful than the Dragons, proud, intelligent beasts who stand at the very peak of existence.Dragons do not fight for kings or armies. They are the purest manifestation of nature’s fury and brutality, beings born to stand alone. Yet even such creatures seek a connection, a single partner chosen only once in their lifetime, bound through a unique Pact that links body and soul as one.Those chosen are no ordinary individuals. Dragon Riders soar through the skies atop their mighty companions, dominating land and air alike with powers of overwhelming magnitude. Thus begins a ruthless race between peoples and nations, each striving to secure the loyalty of the most powerful Dragon Riders the world can produce.This is the story of Theo, a noble whose family was brutally murdered, leaving him orphaned and alone as a child. Now a young man, his gaze turns toward the Royal Academy of Dragon Riders of the Empire of the Four Kingdoms, for nothing could serve vengeance better than a creature that embodies the raw fury of nature itself.But while Theo’s steps are driven by revenge, his journey will be filled with both intriguing allies and cruel enemies. And in his search for a battle companion, he will discover something far more precious, because the same mythical beast capable of terrorizing the skies and the land also holds another side, one far more unexpected than anyone could imagine.

# HUSBAND-CHASING

Si Mi had been foolish in her past life. She aborted the child she had with her husband just so she could return to her first boyfriend, Fu Xing. Yet, Fu Xing had no intention of reconciling with her, and even ridiculed her for flattering herself. With that, Si Mi felt that she had been abandoned by the world. She wandered the streets dejectedly and was killed by a car that malfunctioned. As her soul floated in midair, she saw her stepsister secretly meeting up with the driver who killed her to give him a large sum of hush money. She even saw her stepmother, who had always doted on her, say, “That girl finally died. At least my efforts weren’t wasted in spoiling her to the point of being brainless and arrogant! My dear daughter, you can finally relax and be with Fu Xing now.” Finally, Si Mi saw her ex-husband attending her funeral, and then took revenge for her death. Her supposedly disfigured husband even removed his mask for the first time before her portrait. The man’s flawless appearance seemed to be a gift from the gods. Every inch of him was meticulously perfect, and he wasn’t as hideous as the rumors painted him to be.

Then, Si Mi lost all senses. When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on a bed naked while a man rammed into her from above. It was her husband, Fu Zhen! She had just attended her own funeral moments ago as a wandering soul, so why was she in Fu Zhen’s bed now and making love to him? It seems that Si Mi was reborn back to the time when she had just married her husband. During this time, she had yet to abort Fu Zhen’s child, and hadn’t yet fallen into her stepmother and stepsister’s scheme! What perplexed Si Mi even more was that she now possessed the power of telekinesis after being reborn. Splendid! She swore not to be toyed with anymore in this life. She would also take revenge! More importantly… she had to compensate Fu Zhen for what she owed him. She would give her best to this man who once loved her deeply.

In a mind-blowing twist, I found myself reborn into a steampunk-themed JRPG made by a Japanese game company. To my shock, I was appointed as an executive of the villainous faction. However, the protagonist’s party was way too diligent.
