All works

My husband was a world-class ski coach who trained dozens of champions. Yet, during a routine session on a beginner slope, he let my son have an accident. My little boy never came back. I was drowning in grief, clutching my son's ashes, while my husband packed his bags for a trip. He told me there was a more important competition and that I needed to move on. "Joanna, skiing is an extreme sport. Accidents happen. Crying won't bring him back." "Get some rest. We can always have another baby

After the piano competition ended, my boyfriend handed the trophy to his first love, Minnie Hart. I ignored the agonizing pain in my bloody fingertips and questioned him. "Why were there razor blades hidden inside the piano keys?" Minnie started wailing immediately. "Ria, if you wanted the trophy that badly, I would have given it to you! You don't have to slander me just because you lost." She ran away sobbing, but as she passed me, she suddenly tripped and fell. Elias rushed to catch her,

I was burned alive in my own home in my past life, and it was my own uncle who set the fire. In my final seconds, I heard him on the phone just outside: "She had it coming. With all that money and such a cold heart―it's better to just burn it all down." The very first second after my rebirth, my phone rang. The screen displayed: "Uncle." "Audrey! We had a massive blueberry harvest this year, twelve thousand pounds! Your company, FreshLeaf, deals in organic produce, right? Take them at an ins

1 My husband, Mark, believes I deliberately flew into turbulence to scare his ex-girlfriend, Sarah. "Sarah has a fear of heights! You dared to put her through that, you'll pay tenfold!" He handcuffed me, dangling me from the wing of his private jet, instructing his assistant to fly into every turbulent patch. I struggled, pleaded, explained the mortal danger, but he only laughed. "Now you know it's dangerous? See if you dare abuse your captain's authority again!" My screams were lost in th

1 I was looking through the wedding photos on my fiancé's phone when I accidentally saw a message he'd sent to his childhood sweetheart. "Winnie, I'm getting married to someone else." "I wish the person I was signing the papers with was you." "Let's not miss each other in the next life." Silas Montgomery was trying on his designer tux for our wedding. I was bored, sitting on the sofa in the lounge area, scrolling through my phone. He was notoriously picky and had high standards. He tried o

The day before my birthday, I saw a receipt for concert tickets on my wife Faye's phone. It was for my favorite singer. I thought she was planning a surprise for me. I stayed up all night, waiting for her to come home. Around dawn, a local post popped up on my social media feed. "A surprise from my favorite older woman! I will make sure to thank you properly tonight!" The video started with him and Faye sharing a passionate kiss on the venue's kiss cam. Then it cut to a slideshow of them in

Chapter 1 On my wedding day, my fiancé walked down the aisle with another girl and held up a fresh marriage license. "She is the true love of my life," he announced coldly to the crowd. "Don't even think about taking her place." My brother, who had spoiled me for over two decades, shielded the girl behind him. "Bridget, you've enjoyed wealth and luxury your whole life. Just give Travis to her." I walked away in total silence. Both my brother and my fiancé breathed a sigh of relief. They par

I took in my junior sister as an orphan, raised her, and cleansed her mana core to help her grow strong. Yet she stole my bonded spirit partner. She did it simply because my partner was Kieran, an ancient Fire Phoenix of royal bloodline. In my past life, I fed Kieran my own heart’s blood to help him take human form. But to help Rachel ascend, he threw me into a furnace and refined me into an elixir. Only at the moment of my death did I realize he had fallen for her long ago. When I opened my

1 My mom was always on my case about getting laid. "Honey, if you don't get yourself knocked up soon, you'll be the end of the line!" she'd nag. Eventually, this whole procreation thing started getting to me. "Okay, look," I told my boyfriend, Jake. "No matter how much I come onto you, you gotta promise not to give in, okay?" Jake, all flustered, practically ran into the bathroom. That's when his phone buzzed with a message: "Don't forget, 11 o'clock, me and the guys are gonna get a taste

1 Before college entrance exams, I snuck and took the love letter the prom queen, Sarah, wrote to my childhood friend, Josh. They never got together. He hated me for it, forever. After he found out I had a crush on him, he called me jealous, manipulative, and toxic, swearing he’d never feel the same. Then we both died in a car crash. His dying words were that if he could do it over, he’d beg me not to ruin things with Sarah again. ... His wish came true. I got a second chance. I didn’t take t

1 My roommate returned from her rural hometown with several large bags of wild mushrooms. She didn't just invite us to eat; she was generous enough to share them with other dorms. Soon, people were even offering to buy them from her. Lacey caught the scent of profit and started selling the wild mushrooms on a large scale. I tried to be kind and warned her that some wild mushrooms were toxic and couldn't be eaten blindly. She snapped at me, saying she grew up eating them. She even accused me

1 I was at my buddy Mark's wedding, trying to keep the peace between the groomsmen and the bridesmaids, when I noticed it. The new assistant my wife, Summer, had hired was sporting a ring. And it wasn't just any ring; it was the one I'd designed and custom-ordered just two days before. The ring that was supposed to be a surprise for our anniversary. It was sitting there on his left ring finger, plain as day. I pulled Summer aside, asking what the heck was going on. She just mumbled some lame

1 I found a flyer for a diamond ring in Zane Sterling's pocket right after he tried to break up with me for the twenty-ninth time. Zane didn't even blink when he saw me holding it. He just leaned back and said, "I wanted to surprise you on your birthday. But since you found it, we might as well go pick one out this weekend." I felt like a complete idiot standing in front of that jewelry store all day Sunday. He never showed up. On my way home, I scrolled through my phone and saw a post from

In my past life, I hit the jackpot―a hundred million dollars. But my mother, a woman who lived only to bleed our family dry for her brothers, conspired with my nana to steal every cent. They handed it over to my two uncles. When my father was diagnosed with cancer and desperately needed those funds for treatment, they used my money to buy luxury condos and flashy cars for their own children. They didn't spare a dime for his medical bills. When my nana overheard me planning to go to the police,

My brother has been reborn, too. In our last life, the school's golden girl, Seraphina Sterling, was head over heels for me―the cold, high-achieving genius. My brother, Jace, couldn't handle the rejection. He ended up assaulting her in a fit of rage and died shortly after in a gruesome car accident. Now that he has a second chance at life, he is desperately trying to mimic my every move. He smirked at me today and said, "This time, she'll only have eyes for me." I almost burst out laughing.

On the night of our fortieth anniversary gala, a young man in his early twenties stormed into the ballroom. He dropped to his knees right in front of my husband, Waylon. "Dad, I'm your son, Jaxson," he cried out. I froze. My husband of forty years―the man who promised we would remain childless together―suddenly had a son? I turned to Waylon. His face turned as white as a sheet, and his eyes darted around, refusing to meet mine. The guests erupted into a frenzy. Whispers flooded the room lik

Linnea's first love was dying. When she received the call, she was lying beneath me in our wedding bed. She shoved me away with all her strength and hurriedly threw her clothes back on. "I have to go see Calvin," she explained in a panic. "We will finish this next time." Before I could answer, she slammed the door and vanished into the night. I sat in the quiet room and calmly put on my shirt. Getting a divorce the morning after the wedding was not out of the question. 1. I was lighting

The Shaws' foster daughter was throwing a tantrum again. She had run back to the group home, screaming at the top of her lungs. "I don't want your money! I want love! You don't love me at all!" Silas Shaw spent three days and nights trying to coax her back. But Seraphina wouldn't budge. Seeing the stalemate, the director pushed me forward. "Let her try," the director said. "She's the sweetest girl we have." Silas made me a secret promise that day. "If you can calm her down, I'll take you h

My father collapsed from a sudden heart attack, and he desperately needed cardiac stents. I asked my husband for a mere five thousand dollars for the emergency surgery. Landon Mercer, CEO of Mercer Enterprises, coldly shut me down: "Both the corporate and personal accounts are frozen for a major project. Your dad has basic insurance, so just settle for the cheaper domestic stents." He was the sole controller of all our family finances. His heartless reply forced me into a bitter awakening. Ev

After a two-week business trip, I came home early to surprise my sleeping wife. To my shock, lying in our bed was her freshly divorced older sister. When I turned on the lights, she was flushed and glowing. I tried to apologize and leave, but she wrapped her arms around my waist, crying about how lonely she was without a husband and begging me to help her out... 1. My name is Garrett. In my early thirties, I worked my way up to become a construction project manager. The pay was great, but I
