I am the agent of the top-tier celebrity Hua Bai Wanru. She is uncompetitive and indifferent, as serene as a chrysanthemum. There was a vacant spot for a permanent female guest on a national variety show, and to secure it for her, I drank with the director until I had a stomach bleed. Yet she said I was just seeking quick success with lowly means. For an international director's grand drama that took five years to prepare, I humbly pestered the director for a month to get her an opportunity, and she became a top-tier celebrity through this role. But she claimed it was all due to her own excellence and the director's discerning eye. At the celebration banquet for her becoming the Best Actress, I was drugged and raped by her boyfriend's childhood friend. She told me the guy did it because he liked me and urged me not to pursue the matter. I could bear it no longer and exposed the entire incident. She then went live to say it was all voluntary on my part, merely a ploy to cling to the powerful. In the end, because she believed I tarnished her reputation, I was run over and killed by her crazed fans. On Weibo, she coldly remarked that it was my own fault, and that I was simply greedy and too pragmatic. While I, who gave my all for her plans, met a tragic end, she remained aloof, reaping fame and fortune. If I could live again, I would definitely continue to be as indifferently serene as a chrysanthemum, Sister Strong. And I will find my own ambitious one.

Chapter 1

In my 7th year as Katherine Wade's agent, she became a successful actress, and I was killed by her fans.

When I came back to my senses, I realized I had been drugged the previous evening due to a strange sensation in my body.

Katherine's celebration party was held for her award the previous evening. Since everyone there was familiar, we were all quite relaxed, and I had a few drinks.

But I never expected that I would be drugged and raped in front of Katherine when I was so happy for her success in her career. It was done by a close friend of Katherine's boyfriend.

Her boyfriend had been dating her since before she entered the entertainment industry. He was a director known for producing terrible shows, with an average rating of 2.1 out of 5 on Rotten Tomatoes. He was incredibly arrogant and believed the public failed to appreciate his artistic works.

I had advised Katherine multiple times to break up with him.

Every time, Katherine would pout and say, "Why are you so superficial? Jackson is very talented. It's just that people like you don't take the time to appreciate his work. You are driven by short-sighted ambition."

We talked about it several times but failed to reach a consistent view. I had to give up on trying to break them up and focus on keeping things confidential. Katherine's fans were fiercely dedicated to her career.

"Hello, is this 911..."

After I reported the incident to the police, Katherine called me. "Madeline, can you withdraw the report? The truth will come out on its own. It is not good to blow this up. Because of this matter, Jackson is angry with me. After all, it was his friend, and he did it only because he had feelings for you. Besides, if you hadn't been urging us to break up, Jackson wouldn't have been angry, and this matter wouldn't have happened. You're my agent, and if you were raped, won't others think I'm involved too?"

I said, "We've known each other for seven years. Now you stop me from reporting to the police. Do you know I am the victim? It's ridiculous..."

I was so furious that I smashed my phone. I turned to social media and publicly shared the entire story. Then I started the process to terminate my contract with Katherine. Since she was afraid of a scandal, I would blow it up.

I never expected Katherine to go against me so quickly. "Hello everyone, I'm Katherine. Today, I'm live streaming to address the recent incident involving my agent being raped at my celebration party. My agent, Ms. Madeline Ramirez, is overly ambitious. This so-called event that she was raped was just a scheme she orchestrated to set connections with some powerful people. I have talked about it with her many times to be grounded and not to covet what isn't ours. Since we have different ideas, I am terminating the contract with her now..."

As I watched Katherine on my phone, she slightly furrowed her eyebrows. A tear even ran down as she spoke.

Her fans flooded the comments with sympathy for her and insults directed at me.

"Katherine, you are too kind-hearted. It's not your fault. She's just greedy."

"I always knew that old witch was no good and just held Katherine back. If it weren't for her, Katherine might have won an Oscar by now."

"She deserves it. How many in the entertainment industry are truly clean? Katherine, you're just pretending..."

I had invested so much effort in Katherine's career, but now I ended up with it.

My sincere efforts were all for nothing!

I thought things had been the worst then. But Katherine's crazed fans believed that I had tarnished their idol's reputation and ran me over with a car, sending me flying several meters away.

Katherine learned what had happened to me later.

When she was asked about it in an interview, she replied flatly, "It's a pity. But if Madeline hadn't been so ambitious, she wouldn't have ended up like that."

It was truly ridiculous.

If I could live another life, I would never again be the fool who helped Katherine rise and let her have the chance to kill me.

To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
