Chapter 1 - The Catacomb Reopens After Three Years, Unearthing Bleached Bones Three years ago, I was the youngest lead archaeologist at Weston University. While exploring a newly discovered centuries-old catacomb, I stumbled upon a dark secret. My husband Jared's precious golden girl was colluding with a black-market antiquities ring, trying to smuggle priceless artifacts out of the country. To keep her dirty secret safe, she stabbed me over twenty times and blew up the excavation site. She

1 Mark and I were married for six years. Then he got himself a little songbird. She was pretty, sure. The type that shrunk back if you raised your voice. So, of course, Mark never yelled at her. But this little bird got bold. She came chirping to my front door. That's when Mark lost it. He read her the riot act, good and proper. The next day, she sent me a picture. It was her neck, covered in hickeys. "Oh, honey," the caption read. "Mark can be so rough, I'm scared." I stared at th

I was the long-lost daughter of a billionaire family, finally brought home. On my very first day, a delivery man tried to slit the throat of the fake heiress, Seraphina. I rushed forward and pushed her out of the way, but the blade sliced deep into my own arm. Instead of a thank you, my biological mother accused me of staging the whole thing. "What a performance. You've barely stepped through the door and you're already using these disgusting tricks?" "Do you think this will make us pity

1. A sharp pain ripped through my abdomen right after I finished assisting Dr. Liam Harrison with a late-night bypass surgery. He immediately carried me into the staff lounge. But just as he was about to check on me, his phone rang. It was his "special patient." One look at the caller ID and he was gone. That night, I lost the baby. When I was wheeled out of the O.R., I exhaustedly picked up my phone, only to see an updated Instagram post from his childhood friend, Chloe Sanders. It was

Chapter 1 The night of the fatal car crash, my wife was busy throwing a lavish birthday party for her childhood sweetheart. Meanwhile, I drew my very last breath alone on a freezing cold operating table. When I opened my eyes again, I was thrown back to my high school days. Watching her flirt endlessly with him, I quietly backed out of their world. Years later, drenched in a torrential downpour, she clutched the hem of my jacket with tears streaming down her face. She begged me to give her

On the day of the UN summit, I noticed a new smartwatch on the wrist of my interpreter wife, Valerie. She claimed it was a health monitor gifted by her first love, Trevor, sneering that I was never as considerate as an outsider. Suspicious, I inspected it during her lunch break and uncovered a hidden listening device. I reported it immediately, sacrificing my own ten-year promotion to shield her from espionage charges. Trevor became a wanted fugitive and died in a car crash while running fro

My husband, Logan Miller, and his first love were both trapped in the raging flood. After a moment of hesitation, he chose to save me first because I was pregnant. By the time he turned back for her, it was too late. He could only watch as the current swept her away into the darkness. For seven years, he blamed me for her death, claiming my rescue delayed him. He hated me so deeply that he never even allowed our son to call him "Dad." When the Time Machine was finally released to the public,

In seven days, I will marry the Empress of the Shadow Realm. The War Goddess and the Holy Princess, who once begged to be my wives, remain blissfully unaware. They are currently preoccupied, joyfully preparing a lavish birthday gala for their new favorite pet, a siren. Once, to preserve the peace of the three realms, I volunteered to guard the Abyssal Void for a thousand years. Before I left, they promised me that upon my return, they would serve as my closest guardians, never to be parted f

It was the night before my husband's childhood sweetheart was getting engaged. She threw a wild bachelorette party. Someone shouted over the music, "Any regrets?" Her eyes turned red as she stared at my husband, Caleb. She choked back a sob. "We met at the wrong time... I was too young when you were ready, and now we've missed our chance." The air turned thick with tension. The light dimmed, letting the flirtatious energy spread through the room. My fingertips turned cold. I tried to keep m

1 "Professor Thorne, I've made up my mind. I am going to go abroad to pursue my medical fellowship." On the other end of the line, Professor Thorne sounded thrilled. "I'm so glad you figured it out. It would be a damn shame to stop now with your level of talent." He promised to arrange everything for my transfer to Montreal within a month and told me to start preparing. I let out a soft breath. "Okay, thank you, Professor." "By the way, is your brother really okay with you moving all the way

Every month, like clockwork, my wife, Sarah Miller, would go on a "business trip" during her ovulation period. We'd been married for years, but still no kids. I decided to surprise her one trip, flew out to her city, and saw her leaving a fertility clinic with Ethan Reed, a hotshot doctor who’d just returned from studying abroad. Turns out, those “business trips” were for artificial insemination ― with Ethan’s sperm. When I confronted her, she was totally unapologetic. “I’m just borrowing his g

1 A year later, I was getting married and Tiffany, out of nowhere, flew back into town. The second she saw my wedding ring, the one Sarah had picked out, Tiffany, the spoiled princess, completely lost it. She forced a smile, all strained and fake. "Tao," she said, her voice tight, "You gonna take that off yourself, or do I have to do it for you?" She was shaking. "Just tell me what ring you want, I'll buy you anything. Please, just throw that thing away." ... I kept my wedding small, just a d

1. I was secretly married to superstar Liam Thorne for five years, and he had just gone public with her. Just as Liam was promising me a makeup wedding ceremony for the ninety-ninth time, I saw the video on TMZ of him and Scarlett Vance making out backstage. I’d heard that same promise 99 times over the past five years, and he’d bailed on me 99 times. The first time, Scarlett “masterminded” a PR crisis. She tipped off the paparazzi to catch her and Liam on a “late-night secret date” at a res

My buddy broke his leg, so I went to the hospital to visit him. In the room next door, I saw my girlfriend tangled up with a guy, kissing him passionately. When I got a good look at his face, I realized he looked exactly like a younger version of me. Later, my girlfriend came to me in tears, but I just smiled and handed her a bright invitation. “I’m getting married next month. You should come and have a drink.” 1. “Man, being single sucks. I’m stuck in the hospital and only my bro comes to

My husband’s true love was being stalked by a twisted killer. To protect her, he pushed me straight into the lion’s den. When I refused to act as bait to draw out the murderer, he threatened me. “Be careful, or your brother in the vegetative ward will pay the price.” In the end, I was brutally murdered in a basement, my body turned into a macabre trophy. When the police notified him of my death, he scoffed with disdain. “Nice try with the actors. Tonight, get your act together and go to that

Chapter 1 My roommate is a beauty influencer. She does not just film makeup tutorials every day; she also sells the samples sent to her by brands on her social media. I once kindly warned her that cosmetics from shady, uncertified brands could ruin someone's face. She just flashed her verified badge at me, claiming she was a professional who knew what she was doing. She promised to take full responsibility and even tried to pressure me into running her little online shop with her. I was fo

On our anniversary, I hid inside a giant teddy bear. I planned to give my girlfriend a surprise after months of long-distance dating. Through the bear's plastic eyes, I saw her assistant carry her to the sofa in his arms. "Macy, do you really think Silas will believe he needs to give up a kidney for you?" "Don't worry. Even if I asked him to cut out his heart for me, he wouldn't say no." That was when I realized the truth. Macy only chose to be with me to find a matching donor for her secr

My parents died during my senior year of high school. They left me nothing but a crumbling brick shack in a forgotten neighborhood. That was the same year I found a boy in the trash. He was the top student in the junior class at my school. But nobody respected him. Even when he was being bullied in the hallways, the teachers looked the other way. If the kids didn't hit him, his alcoholic father would. And his spineless mother never dared to fight back. I dragged him home and spent days nurs

Chapter 1 On the day we were supposed to get our marriage license, Caleb's little favorite, Nina, humiliated me. She accused me of being a home-wrecker and tried to rip my clothes off right on the street. Afterward, she just gave a playful giggle and said she was only trying to liven up the atmosphere. Caleb stroked her hair with an affectionate smile. "Stop it, or your sister-in-law will actually get mad," he said. Nina leaned into his chest shyly and looked at me, whispering softly. "It

On the eve of our wedding, I suffered sudden massive hemorrhaging on the street due to an unviable ectopic pregnancy. I called Landon, but he snapped impatiently, "Savannah, stop using these cheap tricks to manipulate me into coming home. I'm busy." Later, my womb was removed to save my life, and he still did not show up. Instead, he posted a photo on his feed showing him lighting prayer candles at a cathedral with his young assistant. 【Praying for Kinsley to have a lifetime of peace and hap
