The Misalignment of Fate by ayyyitssmee

"The Misalignment of Fate" When fate plays tricks, nothing is as it seems. Wang Xiaoxi is a spirited high school senior who lives her life by the signs-the lucky numbers, the cryptic objects, the strange coincidences. So when she stumbles upon a mysterious app called "Fate Switch," claiming to swap lives for a day, she can't resist testing it out. But she never expected to swap bodies with Liang Zhe, the perfect, stoic student council president she's secretly been crushing on. What begins as an awkward, chaotic 24 hours in each other's shoes quickly turns into something more-a whirlwind of confessions, unexpected emotions, and moments of vulnerability neither of them anticipated. Xiaoxi begins to understand the weight of Liang Zhe's carefully controlled world, while he's stunned by the unpredictability of hers. But when the switch ends, they return to their own bodies... or do they? A strange message appears in Xiaoxi's notebook: "When the switch is over, something will remain." Now, their worlds feel slightly out of sync, and both Xiaoxi and Liang Zhe begin to feel the pull of something neither can explain-something that wasn't there before. Could the body swap have left behind more than just memories? And is it possible that fate itself is still guiding them, even after the switch has ended? Full of mystery, romance, and a dash of the unexpected, The Misalignment of Fate will leave you wondering: Is it destiny that brought them together? Or is something else at play?

However, the prospective fiancé liked independent and strong omegas and was very resistant to this business marriage. One day, Tang Bai's brain short circuited, causing him to believe that he lived in a book. He was the cannon fodder shou, and his prospective fiancé was the protagonist gong. The protagonist shou, Xie Ruheng, was a strong, independent omega of the new era who pretended to be an alpha. In the future, he would become a marshal and the light of the omegas.

Spellbound in silk by Rayelinne143

In the hidden, enchanted city of Arcadian Veil, Princess Lian Yue is a vision of grace-brilliant in medicine, breathtaking in beauty, and unwavering in her devotion to her people. One fateful night, she crosses the sacred boundary of Arcadian Veil, not out of reckless curiosity, but for reasons she is afraid to face. There, she saves a gravely wounded man by the river, unaware that he is Crown Prince Rui Xian of the Xiang Empire, a man marked for death. Before he can ask her name, she vanishes into the night, but the memory of her lingers. When their paths cross again a year later, Rui Xian is determined not to lose her twice. Bewitched by her presence and intrigued by her sharp wit, he offers her an impossible choice: stay by his side as his future wife, even though he is unaware of her true origins. But Lian Yue has no interest in becoming a prince's possession, not when the past still binds her to a world she cannot leave behind. As betrayals unfold, long-buried secrets rise, and an enemy with ties to her past threatens everything, Lian Yue must decide where her heart truly belongs. In the end, love alone may not be enough to hold them together, but perhaps, the woman who once dedicated herself to duty will find that home is not a kingdom, but the arms of the man who would burn the world for her. Genre: Fantasy, Romance, Power Struggle, Adventure FYI this is my original story so please don't plagiarize, that's a crime. Updates are regular. Maybe everyday or so. This is a "He fell first, falls harder and does everything to make her his own" kind trope. Enjoy!

You said before the guard left. Where am I ? Who are you ? And most importantly, how did I get here while fighting Li Lun to buy time for the others to escape ?
