Wrong Number, Right Christmas

greatnessfromgod3
Ava's Christmas is ruined. After a terrible fight with her abusive boyfriend, she is hurt and alone. By mistake, she sends a desperate text for help to the wrong number. The text simply says: "He broke my ribs." The reply is immediate: "I'm on my way." But the man coming to save her isn't who she thinks. He is Leo "The Ghost" Moretti, a lonely and feared Mafia boss who is tired of his violent life. Her text, meant for someone else, lands in his quiet world like a spark. He sees a chance to be someone's hero instead of their villain. As Leo helps Ava heal and hide, a dangerous game begins. Ava's ex-boyfriend is searching for her, and Leo's own enemies in the crime world are closing in. Trapped between two dangerous men, Ava must trust the one who came when she called. Can a miracle born from a mistake survive a storm of bullets and betrayal long enough to find a happy ending?

Reverend Insanity: The Goody Two-Shoes System

Man is the spirit of all things, and gu are the refined fragments of the Great Dao. The ambition which blooms with the spring's morning breeze withers at the call of autumn's night. The accumulation of five hundred years - triumphs and failures - will be naught but ash with dawn's first light. The rising of the sun bathes the mountains in golden flame, but 'tis sunset upon the demon's time. The demonic overlord, Fang Yuan, is cornered by his enemies after word gets out that he refined the Spring Autumn Cicada - a gu worm rumored to be capable of having a chance at sending one back in time but demands a terrifying price in return - the user's entire existence! With no hope of escape, in desperation, Fang Yuan uses the Spring Autumn Cicada which miraculously lives up to its name and sends him back in time. And now, he's back in Gu Yue Village as a fifteen-year-old ready to use his knowledge of the future to conquer the world... but there's something wrong. Something is quite different this time around. What's with this new notification that keeps popping up in his view? It calls itself 'The Goody Two-Shoes System.' It also starts giving him quests to complete. "Help Fang Zheng gain his confidence back!" - get a Green Copper Relic Gu! "Help your friends refine their gu worms!" - have your aptitude raised by 2%! All of these rewards and quests before him, why are they trying to convert this demonic overlord to the path of righteousness? And aren't some of these quests kind of... sus? Why does marrying Bai Ning Bing give him an immortal gu? Whatever, anything for benefits! This is a fanfiction based on Gu Zhen Re's work 'Reverend Insanity' known in Chinese as 蛊真人 or 'Gu Taoist Master'. I don't own the rights to the original work. 'Gu' in the context of this story are mystical insects that have various powers and are the basis of the world's cultivation system.
