The Art of Ruining Him: Married for revenge. Falling for the devil
“The Art of Ruining Him Married for revenge. Falling for the devil. Elara Lim had it all-until the Wu empire reduced her world to ashes. Her father was framed, her family's name destroyed, and the people she trusted turned into traitors. Now, she's back. Cunning, calculated, and ready to burn the Wus from the inside. Step one: marry Zayden Wu, the arrogant, irresistible heir to their empire and make him her greatest pawn. But Zayden is far from predictable. He's colder than she imagined... and far more tempting than she's prepared for. Every move he makes feels like a game, and she's not sure who's really playing who anymore. Worse, as her revenge tightens around the Wus, betrayal brews closer than she ever anticipated-from an ally who was supposed to help her rise. Torn between vengeance and the growing storm in her heart, Elara must navigate power, secrets, and seduction in a world where trust is a weapon. She was brought to her knees once. This time, she's ready to take everyone down with her. But when love threatens to blur her path, and betrayal cuts deeper than before... Will she still have the strength to ruin him or will she end up destroying herself instead?”
