Book Description
This is a typical enemies-turn-to-lovers romance story between two young men. When Crown Prince Shen Qinghan actually married Lin Jie, a street vendor, countless girls who adored the prince were heartbroken. And the cause of this seemingly absurd event was a promise made by the Emperor when he was young. On the wedding day, the Crown Prince didn't seem happy at all. After all, he did not wish to marry Lin Jie on his own accord. Lin Jie, who was about to become the crown princess, was also confused. He had indeed thought of marrying a rich man in the future, but he had never thought of marrying the current crown prince! Lin Jie wanted to run away from the marriage, but the Crown Prince caught him while he was climbing the wall. Because his shoes were a bit too big, one shoe fell off and hit the Crown Prince in the face... Lin Jie was so scared, sitting still on the wall. “Get off."Shen Qinghan said, showing little emotion.

Book Description
Hill Mansion wasn't really a mansion; it was just a ramshackle hut on a small hill. But for Robert Pereira, it was better than any place he had seen in his village Golvada. His chaddi buddies Anand and Baloo lived there with their elder brother Dattya – his hero and the village cricket team captain. Robert had named their hut, 'Hill Mansion', moved by love for his buddies. It didn't matter to him that they were the sons of a domestic help. Robert loved Hill Mansion more than his own modern house, because the poor but strong residents of Hill Mansion had given him the courage to live and fight, bestowing on him the pet name Samson. On the other hand, his siblings and village bullies made fun of his clumsiness and weakness, and nicknamed him Pondya – an indolent, feeble fellow. Will Robert be able to fight the village bullies and erase the shameful 'Pondya' tag to his name? Will his love for his buddies stand the test of time and social barriers as he grows up? Chaddi Buddies is a tender story of friendship, love and brotherhood, loosely based on the author's childhood, which will kindle sweet memories as you read on.
