All works

1 My mother-in-law seems to have a selective hearing problem. My husband mentioned he wanted shrimp, and for an entire month, every single meal she cooked featured shrimp. My sister-in-law said she wanted potatoes, and for a week straight, we had potatoes in every dish. But when I told her I was severely allergic to peanuts, she went out and stocked a hundred jars of peanut butter in the pantry and the fridge. That was the moment I realized she didn't have a hearing problem. She just chose

1. In the high society circles of Manhattan, every woman talked about how lucky Sarah Miller was. I married Julian Thorne and became the envied Mrs. Thorne. But only I knew how suffocating the reality behind the title actually was. Every day, I numbly watched him bring home woman after woman. He even fell in love with a "gold-medal housekeeper," Chloe, and let her set strict rules for our home. She not only froze all my cards and threw away my designer clothes and bags, but she also stipul

In my previous life, on the day I was diagnosed with a tumor, the doctor was very blunt. The surgery would cost one hundred and twenty thousand dollars. It was early stage, and the success rate was eighty percent. My mother-in-law said it was too expensive. She told me to go home and drink some herbal tea instead. Marcus looked at her and said, “I’ll listen to my mom.” I ended up lying alone on a temporary cot in the hospital hallway. The blood pressure monitor ticked lower and lower. When

Chapter 1 My cousin saw a viral story on the news about a woman who smashed a billionaire CEO's luxury car and ended up marrying into high society. Naturally, she bought herself a toolkit and prepared to smash the exotic car parked in our apartment basement. I desperately warned her that clickbait news wasn't real, so she abandoned the plan. Yet that very night, a local girl stormed into the underground garage, smashed that exact Rolls-Royce to pieces, and boldly declared she wanted to marry

On the first day of dropping my daughter off at Briarwood Elite Academy, the admissions staff told me she wasn't on the roster. I immediately called my husband, Garrett. He had handled all her enrollment paperwork himself. How could she possibly be disqualified? Garrett sounded pathetic over the line. "I'm so sorry, honey. Our company's assets didn't meet the academy's financial threshold." "I didn't want to break your heart, so I kept it to myself. It's all my fault for not working hard en

I transmigrated into a tragic romance novel and spent five years trying to win over the female lead. I fell in love with her when she weighed two hundred pounds. I didn't hesitate to spend every single one of my system points to make her thin and beautiful. I really thought we would make it to the end together. But we have had five weddings, and she ran away from every single one of them because of her first love. At the fifth wedding, she even kissed him passionately right in front of the

1 During summer break, my sister's boyfriend convinced her to drag the whole family on a trip to the cartel-controlled borderlands of Northern Mexico. I fought against it with everything I had. I told them those areas were lawless death traps where people disappeared every day. But my mother didn't listen. She just slapped me hard across the face, screaming that I was a jinx and a total buzzkill. Despite my warnings, the family headed south. On the very day we crossed the border, we were int

My relatives spent eighteen years plotting against me, all just to steal my spot at an Ivy League university. When I was in the eighth grade, my uncle changed my cousin's name so it was identical to mine. They told me back then that it would make our families feel closer. But after the final merit rankings were released, I supposedly failed, while my cousin received an invitation from the top university in the country. Living my life over again, I finally realize that they had been calculati

1 The day before the race, I torched my ride and announced I was quitting. My fan club went ballistic, unsubscribing faster than you can say "sellout," and the casual followers turned on me like a pack of wolves. Even Derek "The Devil" Davison, the guy who saw me as his only real competition, had the nerve to play Mr. Sympathy. "It's gonna be lonely at the top without him. I really hope he gets back on the track. I need him to push me." I just laughed. ... Last time around, my custom-buil

After successfully completing my mission, I was over the moon. I took my whole family on a beach vacation to celebrate. While we were watching the fireworks, I overheard my son whispering to my husband. "Daddy, now that Mommy's mission is a success, can we finally bring Auntie Luna home?" My husband gently stroked his hair and smiled. "Of course we can." "Once we head back tomorrow, I'll ask your mother for a divorce, okay?" My son cheered with joy. The smile on my face only grew brighter.

When Boss Sterling threw an AI training manual onto my desk, he said something that changed everything. “You’re being laid off. Before you go, teach this AI how to maximize our profits. Once it’s ready, you’re done.” I did exactly what I was told. I fed the system every bit of tax evasion data, every fake ledger, and every recording of him verbally abusing the staff from the last five years. Thirty days later, the AI went live right on schedule. The tax fraud was reported. The CEO was fired.

Chapter 1 Easton Cole's little side piece was throwing another tantrum. He slid the divorce agreement across the counter toward me. "Just sign it, Yvonne. It is only for show, just to soothe a needy girl." I stared at the paperwork in silence for a moment before picking up the pen and signing my name. As I turned to leave, one of his friends chuckled from the barstool beside him. "Damn, Easton, your wife is so obedient. Would she do literally anything you tell her without making a sound?"

After seven years of marriage, my husband, Luke Townsend, was known as a legend in the astronomy circle. He was also jokingly called a wife-spoiling maniac. He always maintained a polite but distant boundary with everyone around him. When his new assistant asked for his contact info, he just coldly rejected her. The year he successfully proposed, he named an asteroid "LAW". He told everyone it meant "Luke Adores Waverly". Since then, every time he discovered a new asteroid, he would name it

1. The omega Finn Blackwood kept at the edge of the territory was eight months pregnant. Due any day. He came to me again. Asked for the rejection ceremony. Four years bonded. This was the fourth time he'd tried to force me to sever our mate mark―for her. The first three times, he'd thrown everything at me. Alpha commands. Emotional blackmail. Threats to isolate the entire estate. I never bent. This time, I said nothing. Just nodded. "Fine." Finn exhaled in relief and gave me that conside

I worked myself to the bone to land a ten-million-dollar deal for my wife's law firm. I just went downstairs to grab a coffee, but she used that as an excuse to fire me. "New company policy. Being away from your desk for ten minutes counts as desertion. You were gone for ten minutes and five seconds. Pack your trash and get out." I just smiled coldly. I didn't tell her I had already sent evidence of her embezzling funds to buy her male intern a Maybach to the police. She wanted to burn the b

Everyone in the city knew Gideon Garrison was a madman, and I, Lyra Linden, was his only cure. He once set half the city on fire for me. He even quit the underworld to start a legitimate business just because I said I didn't like the sight of blood. I fell for his devotion and married for love without looking back. For five years after our wedding, he treated me like a priceless treasure. A man who made everyone else tremble in fear would wait in line for five hours just because I wanted a s

On the day of our engagement, after five years together, my boyfriend abandoned me. He showed up instead at the welcome-back banquet for his first love. When I arrived, Trenton Hayes had his arms around Elena Caldwell, kissing her passionately. "Elena, I won't marry her. You're the only one in my heart." Everyone turned to look at me, waiting for me to beg him to come back like I always did. None of them knew that this five-year relationship was just a contractual deal between me and the Ha

Chapter 1 "Brooks is coming back to the States on the seventeenth." "When he arrives, you're going to New York with him to have the wedding." My father's voice on the other end of the line was cold and final. I let the silence hang between us for a long moment. Just as he probably thought I was going to fight him again, I finally whispered, "Fine." He sounded shocked, but before he could say another word, I hung up. I checked my phone calendar. There were only ten days left until the seven

1 After my seven-year anniversary proposal went down in flames, complete with a knock-down, drag-out fight with my girlfriend, I caught her shopping for wedding rings with a marriage license. Her friend, totally oblivious, piped up, "Aren't you worried that Dylan will flip out and leave you?" She glanced at the marriage license in her hand. The bubbly happiness that was all over her face just kinda faded, replaced with this look, I can't even describe. "He dated someone else for five years,

I am the rarest Blood Witch from the Deep Smoky Mountains. I can nurture sacred parasites with my heart's blood to rebuild a person's life force. The Crown Prince, Silas, was once declared dead after his heart failed. I used my own body as a vessel to raise the Twin Kings, the ultimate parasites, to restart his heartbeat. But the first thing he did when he woke up was throw me into the Pit of Vipers. He watched as the poisonous snakes tore at my skin. "Sienna risked her life to find the cure
