  In her previous life, Xu Anran never realized her husband, Qin Xiaokun, was a wolf in sheep's clothing until it was too late. He had deceived her with a facade of affection, schemed to take over her family's fortune, and destroyed her loved ones. In the end, he even coldly ran her over to pursue his true love. 
  But now, Xu Anran has been given a second chance. She wakes up on the day of her marriage to Qin Xiaokun, five years before her tragic death. This time, she won’t be anyone’s fool. She’s determined to protect what’s rightfully hers and make every betrayal pay. 
  In front of the shocked Qin family, Xu Anran boldly approaches Jiang Rongyan, Qin Xiaokun's greatest rival, and asks with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, would you marry me?" 
  Jiang Rongyan accepts, and thus begins a new chapter of revenge, with Qin Xiaokun left humiliated in her wake. Xu Anran had planned to avoid relationships this time around, but as their arranged marriage comes to an end, Jiang Rongyan has no intention of letting her walk away so easily. 
  "You think you can leave after using me?" he says, his eyes gleaming. "You're dreaming."

  Against the Grain or Against Nature

  "Against Nature" or "Against the Grain"—is an 1884 novel by the French writer Joris-Karl Huysmans. Let's explore this intriguing work:    Plot Summary:  The narrative revolves around a single character: Jean des Esseintes. He is an eccentric, reclusive, and ailing aesthete.  As the last scion of an aristocratic family, Des Esseintes despises nineteenth-century bourgeois society. His goal is to retreat into an ideal artistic world of his own creation.  The novel primarily consists of a catalogue of Des Esseintes's neurotic aesthetic tastes, musings on literature, painting, religion, and hyperaesthetic sensory experiences.  "À rebours" delves into themes associated with the Symbolist aesthetic, breaking away from Naturalism and becoming the epitome of "Decadent" literature. It profoundly influenced works like Oscar Wilde's ""The Picture of Dorian Gray""1.  Background:  Huysmans, the author, underwent a significant shift in his writing style. His early works were Naturalist, depicting the drudgery of working-class life in Paris.  However, he found this approach limiting and decided to apply the minutely documented realistic detail to a portrait of an exceptional individual: Jean des Esseintes.  The character of Des Esseintes is partly based on Huysmans himself, sharing similar tastes but taken to greater extremes. Huysmans transformed this "wild and gloomy fantasy" into the novel ""À rebours""12.  "Against Nature" invites readers into a world of decadence, introspection, and aesthetic obsession."

  After writing his first book, Oliver is kind of a celebrity around school. But when he gets caught in a cafeteria catastrophe involving some seriously explosive cherry cobbler, he quickly goes from being the “funny science kid” to one of the “Epic Barf kids.” Oliver needs to restore his reputation—and winning the Science Fair seems like the perfect way for everyone to forget about the whole barf thing.  
   
  There’s just one obstacle: Ana Lía Quintero, who wins every year. 
   
  Luckily, Oliver has the help of his geoscientist aunt (even though she’s a little, um, quirky). To have any chance of defeating his archnemesis, he’ll have to learn all about volcano burps and bacteria farts, how Earth’s layers are basically like a boba tea drink, and how school cliques and the solar system have a lot in common. 
   
  With laugh-out-loud humor, Oliver’s Great Big Universe: Volcanoes Are Hot! follows an eleven-year-old who’s taking on the whole universe—if he can survive middle school first.
