ACEE
Thirteen years ago, Guan Tong's parents passed away, and her parents' company was taken over by her uncle and aunt. From then on, Guan Tong was stripped off of her family property and lived with her grandmother. For her grandmother's sake, Guan Tong promised her aunt that she would marry the man who was rumored to be in a comatose state in her cousin's place—the Young Master of the Lu family. Legend had it that the Young Master of the Lu family was in a vegetative state, and he murdered all four of his wives in the past. All four of these women died on their wedding night! Now, Guan Tong had become the fifth woman. It turned out that after her uncle and aunt seized the company that belonged to Guan Tong's family, they were facing bankruptcy due to poor management. At this time, the Lu family came looking for them and said that their daughter's fate was very compatible with Young Master Lu's, and they were willing to pay 100 million as a betrothal gift for her to marry their son. Her uncle and aunt could not bear to part with this sum of money, nor could they bear to part with their daughter, so they forced Guan Tong to become the stand-in. Everyone was waiting for the news of the bride's death on their wedding night, only to receive the shocking news of Young Master Lu's awakening! Later on, Young Master Lu even doted on the ugly Guan Tong to the heavens. People said that Young Master Lu had a peculiar taste and was actually willing to love such an ugly woman. Little did they know that when the layers of her multiple identities were uncovered, they realized that Guan Tong was a beautiful as an angel and a medical genius! All the bigshots in the business world and the top celebrities in showbiz begged her to give them medical treatment. Even her uncle and aunt's family, who persecuted her in the past, had no choice but to come to her for treatment.

The Beast Within – The Bloodclaw (Volume 3)

The flight was only the beginning. Yulong has turned to ash, yet from the ash grow new shadows. The Dark King has changed his face—he now wears the features of a dead man, and those who look into his eyes do not see a stranger, but the neighbor from next door. His hunger is no longer his alone. His progeny roam the night, scenting life in the veins like ripe fruit, spreading like a curse across the land. Liyen follows a small flame. A tiny light in the darkness that neither flickers nor fails—the little Qi-Flame that dances through forgotten paths and leads her deeper, down into the earth where silence breathes and memories do not die, but wait. Down there, in the gullet beneath the world, the lost one is said to be. But what lurks in the depths is no prisoner—it is an exchange: A cage of flesh in which two breaths writhe—and only one may remain. Meanwhile, strangers open a door in the night. When this band of foreign adventurers appears in the darkness, the true journey has only begun. Instead of finding refuge, they find a blood-feast and smiles that almost reach the eyes. For sometimes the greatest danger is not the monster you fear, but the friend who smiles at you—whose teeth only show when the moon loses its blood. Now stands the choice: To speak the warning and be branded mad—or to remain silent and watch with living flesh as trust turns to slaughter. (Volume 3 of The Beast Within series – The Bloodclaw—a direct sequel to "Yulong") A story about how sometimes the monster does not lurk beneath the bed, but beneath the skin—and about what price it demands to wear a face that is not your own.
