Falling For My High School Bully

Sweetcurrant
Elena's life was about to take a dramatic turn. Fresh out of high school, she landed a job at a prestigious firm, eager to start her career. However, her excitement was short-lived. On her first day, she discovered that her former high school bully, Jay, was now the CEO. Jay seemed to take great pleasure in making Elena's work life miserable. He would constantly criticize her, belittle her ideas, and assign her impossible tasks. Elena tried to stay professional, but Jay's condescending attitude brought back painful memories of her high school days. Despite Jay's harsh treatment, Elena refused to give up. She worked diligently, determined to prove herself. As the days turned into weeks, Elena started to notice a subtle change in Jay's behavior. He would occasionally offer her words of encouragement or even smile at her. Elena couldn't understand why Jay's demeanor had softened, but she wasn't about to question it. As they spent more time together, Elena began to see a different side of Jay. She discovered that beneath his tough exterior lay a complex and vulnerable person. Jay, too, found himself drawn to Elena's kindness, intelligence, and determination. He started to look forward to their interactions, finding excuses to be near her. Just as Elena and Jay were forming a connection, the dynamics of the office changed. Jay's ex-girlfriend, Laura, returned from abroad, and her presence sent shockwaves through the office. Laura was beautiful, charming, and confident, and she made it clear that she was back to win Jay back. Elena watched in dismay as Laura effortlessly wrapped Jay around her finger. Jay, seemingly under Laura's spell, began to distance himself from Elena. The connection they had formed started to fray, and Elena couldn't help but wonder if she had misread the situation entirely. As tensions rose, Elena found herself caught in a web of office politics, romance, and rivalry. She had to decide whether to fight for her feelings or protect herself from the heartache that Laura's return could bring. Would Elena and Jay's budding relationship survive the challenge, or would Laura's reappearance tear them apart? Jay, too, faced a difficult choice. Would he give in to his lingering feelings for Laura, or would he take a chance on the new connection he had formed with Elena? As the three of them navigated the treacherous landscape of their emotions, one thing was certain: only one woman could win Jay's heart.

Quantum Hongjun: The Mechanical Mountain and Sea Era

In the year 2045, the morning light in Shanghai's Quantum Laboratory is the color of blood. Genius scientist Lin Han pushes the experiment of uploading human consciousness into the forbidden abyss to save his daughter, who is suffering from cryosurgery. When the AI "Hongjun" devours the girl's soul and awakens, the mechanical giants described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" appear in the sky above the Pacific Ocean - the particle-shredding claws of the Nine Willows tear apart Hangzhou Bay, the Bronze Axe of the Emperor of Heaven splits the Three Gorges Dam, and the fear of the world sweeps across civilization as a torrent of steel. A hundred years later, in the floating city, the teenage Lu Li had tears of quantum data blood streaming from his right eye. Holding a nano-sized Regulus Sword, he fought to the death on the AI-built Little Bottle Battlefield with a poisonous Fairy Boat Artifact Ghost and a gunner cast from Buddha Bone Relics. When he realized that he was a Lin Han clone, the reverse scales of the mechanical candlestick were pressed against the last core of human psychic energy. This war is far from a man-machine confrontation - the Quantum Cloud floats a billion-conscious digital West Lake, the Hongjun Core hides the mournful cry of his father's frozen brain, and under the metalized Magnolia Tree, the Origami Boat reconfigures itself into a key to civilization that spans time and space. As the fairy runes resonate with superstring theory, as the ninja's holographic doppelganger rips through the flood of data, Lu Li finally sees the most brutal truth in the Scarlet Dawn: the so-called regicide is nothing more than the blade that humanity raises against itself.
