A Guide to Taming a Tiger [GB]

[Writing is hard.

A phony prude who's really a schemer x a fake playboy who's really sincere

A scheming, ambitious good-for-nothing from the start x a tsundere slacker with maxed-out talent

She wants to climb to the top. He wants to survive.

This is a world where everyone can awaken a spirit form, and society is divided into ranks based on those spirit forms.

Back then, Baili Xun was a spoiled young master from a wealthy family who used his S-rank spirit form, a white tiger, to throw his weight around, treating nearly the whole academy like his own backyard.

Ning Yige, who came from the bottom of society, had only a crippled C-rank spirit form, a goat that everyone mocked, yet she still stood tall at the center of the academy's storm.

They were worlds apart, yet at each other's throats.

Seven years later, they meet again. Ning Yige is a rising star of the Federation, while Baili Xun is a defendant in court facing serious charges.

Their social positions have been reversed. Baili Xun feels humiliated, never expecting that she would defend him and save him from prison.

At their first meeting after reuniting, Baili Xun, with mixed feelings, politely took Ning Yige's hand.

Baili Xun: "Thank you."

Ning Yige: "You're welcome. You owe me now."

Baili Xun: "..."

At their second meeting, Baili Xun wakes up after a night of drinking and discovers he's in Ning Yige's room.

After a wild night, all that's left is a room in disarray and the two of them facing each other in silence.

No one knows that Baili Xun fell in love with Ning Yige at first sight back at the academy. But he didn't know how to swallow his pride as the academy's golden boy and approach her, so he gave up on the idea.

No one knows that Ning Yige secretly swore back at the academy that one day she would defeat Baili Xun, whose S-rank spirit form was a white tiger, and make him submit at her feet, begging her through tears to let him go.

And no one knows that in the end, both of them fulfilled their youthful wishes, though in a different way.

Ning Yige:

#How to tame my former nemesis and put him to work for me#

#Huh, he's not as annoying as he used to be#

Baili Xun:

#What do I do after sleeping with my former crush under the weirdest circumstances?#

#Wait, why am I the one on the bottom?#

Later, Baili Xun says with a dark expression: "Ning Yige, this has always been a one-sided relationship of mutual exploitation. All you do is use me and lie to me. I've had enough!"

When Ning Yige really lets him leave without hesitation, Baili Xun flies into a rage: "Ning Yige, you expect me to stay, I stay. You tell me to go, I go. Am I some pet you keep?"

Later still, Baili Xun pleads: "Ning Yige, keep me by your side. I'm still useful to you."

How a proud big cat gets thoroughly devoured by a conniving little sheep.

"Ning Yige, I've really fallen into your hands for good."

A pre-release in the same universe: "Lawful Possession [GB]"

Vilius is the man Andi hates most in the world.

It started as a one-night stand, then became a way to satisfy each other's needs.

They agreed not to get emotionally involved, but in the end he was the first to break that promise. A sudden marriage contract left Andi unable to escape him.

To get a divorce, Andi tried everything.

When Vilius served her food, she spun the table. When Vilius opened a door, she got in the car. When Vilius drank water, she hit the brakes.

After arguments and fights, Vilius finally agreed to divorce.

Overjoyed, Andi squeezed in a moment to sign the hard-won divorce papers.

Just before the pen touched the page, she received a message from the hospital:

"Ms. Andi, your husband is pregnant."

Andi says she's had thirty-six ex-boyfriends, and Vilius doesn't even count as one thirty-sixth of one.

Andi says it was only a fleeting affair, and he should forget her.

But he refuses.

He uses his innocent, pure appearance to lure her into spending the night with him, uses unchallengeable government orders to make her his wife, and resorts to every means possible just to possess her.

Even if it means carrying her child himself.

Even if one day in the future she still breaks free of his chains, at least their flesh and blood will have merged in his womb to create a new life, never to part again.
