How Old Is Marinette Dupain Cheng

They call him the "Watchdog of the West Gate." To the wealthy students, Alistair Cain is a joke—a dropout husband living off his brilliant professor wife, tasked with nothing more than checking IDs and chasing stray dogs off campus. To his wife’s powerful family, he is a stain on their reputation, a useless son-in-law who should have been discarded years ago. But they don’t know why the West Gate is the only place on campus where the shadows never move. They don’t know that the "stray dogs" he chases are actually Hellhounds trying to breach the mortal realm. And they certainly don’t know that Alistair is actually the Calamity Star—the exiled God of War serving a 1,000-year penance to suppress the ancient evil beneath the university library. When the seal begins to crack and the elite families of the city become pawns in a demonic war, the useless security guard finally stands up. "You can insult me all you want," Alistair says, adjusting his uniform cap. "But step one foot past this gate, and not even the Heavens can save you."

Noah Bennett was born to inherit Bennett Global Group, a powerful multi-billion-dollar empire built by his father from nothing. But in his first life, Noah wasted everything. Blinded by love and arrogance, he ignored his father’s warnings, pushed away the people who truly cared for him, and let others use his name, wealth, and influence to tear his family apart. By the time he realized the truth, Bennett Global had collapsed, his father was dead, his body was broken, and his name had become a joke to the world. As Noah lay dying, a mysterious system awakened. [Final rating: Pathetic.] Then he opened his eyes in the past. This time, Noah refuses to repeat the same mistakes. He will not kneel for false love. He will not ignore his father. He will not inherit an empire he does not deserve. Starting from the lowest level inside Bennett Global, Noah begins fighting to protect the company before its first major collapse point: the Westbridge Development Contract. But the deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes that his downfall was never caused by one woman alone. Someone has been moving in the shadows. Someone inside Bennett Global is opening doors for the enemy. And the woman Noah once rejected, Astrid Montgomery, may be the only person who saw the truth before he did. In his last life, Noah Bennett died as a foolish heir who lost everything. In this life, he will earn his empire, expose every traitor, and make sure no one uses him twice.

Transmigrating into my own novel should have been a dream, but instead, it’s a death sentence.

With my hidden knowledge of every secret plot and a mysterious Summoning System that has manifested within me, I will rewrite my fate. I am no longer a stepping stone.

Lucas Moreau spent three years as a live-in son-in-law to the Beaumont family — enduring daily humiliations, silent cruelties, and the slow erosion of his self-worth. When his wife, Céleste, betrays him in the most devastating way possible, Lucas walks out with nothing but his name. Or so he believes. That same night, a silver-haired man in a black Bentley finds him on the rain-slicked streets of Paris. The message is simple: Lucas's estranged grandfather, the patriarch of the Moreau dynasty — one of the oldest and wealthiest families in France — is dying, and he wants Lucas home.

In a world of glass towers and old grudges, can Lucas keep his humanity? Or will the hunger for revenge consume the one thing worth having?
