All works

Finding out Declan had a girl on the side happened right as our marriage entered its seventh year. At first, it was just the faint trace of unfamiliar perfume on his collar. Then came his five-day business trip abroad, during which he sent not a single word. Later, a mutual friend hesitated before mentioning that a vibrant young girl was always seen by his side. I laughed it off, making countless excuses for him. After all, we had been together since we were seventeen―a whole decade. I ref

1 The storm hit without warning. My brother, Mark, shoved me overboard and snatched my life vest. When the rest of my family was rescued, Mom wailed, "Where's Ethan? Where did he go?" Dad scoffed, "Don't worry about him. He had a life jacket, he'll be fine." My sister, Jessica, hugged Mark tight. "My sweet little brother, so innocent. I wish Ethan could be more like you." They stood on the dock, yelling for me to come out, accusing me of hiding. But I couldn't. I was already dead, swallow

My brother died on the highway while we were heading home for Christmas. Before he took his last breath, he entrusted his wife and their unborn child to me. I did everything for them. I took care of Jocelyn like she was the center of my world, even sacrificing my own happiness just to give the kid a stable home. For seven years, I gave my heart and soul to Jocelyn and her son. I had a clear conscience. But she never gave me a second glance. Even the boy grew up to despise me. Finally, with

To secure a ten-million-dollar investment for the company, I ended up in the ER ninety-nine times for alcohol poisoning in just three months. It wasn't until I died a miserable death from stomach cancer that I realized the truth. My husband had been using me as a human shield to protect his female secretary from drinking. He was just waiting for me to die so he could replace me with her. All my shares and assets worth hundreds of millions were snatched up by the two of them. Now, I've been g

To save Grayson Wilde from the fire, I inhaled too much smoke and became a vegetable. Grayson swore to my parents that he would take care of me forever. Once he gained their trust, he slowly drained my family's fortune. Then, he personally pulled the plug on my oxygen. Only after my death did I learn the truth about that fire. It happened because his obsession, Cora, said one thing. "Looking at those books gives me a headache. I wish a fire would just burn them all away." Reborn into this

I was working with the search and rescue team to find survivors after the earthquake when the second cave-in happened. Without a second thought, I shoved the hospital intern, Brielle, out of the way. The momentum sent me crashing to the ground, and a jagged steel rod pierced through my back, pinning me to the floor. When the dust settled, my husband, Caleb, led his team down into the wreckage. Instead of looking for me, he rushed to Brielle, who had nothing more than a tiny scratch on her ar

The night the stoic, untouchable Silas Thorne was drugged, I didn't offer myself up to him like a fool. Instead, I turned around and called the police to report a sexual assault. I even let his scandalous photos be paraded on an auction block for the highest bidder. While he was rotting in a holding cell, I moved fast and called off our engagement. I chose to vanish from his world entirely. In my past life, I had given him everything that night, only for him to accuse me of trapping him. H

Yara was the legitimate daughter of the pack, and I was just the bastard. She was born into the light, while I was hidden in the shadows. She hated my existence, viewing my talent and my face as a threat to her status. Since we were children, she bullied me and snatched away everything I loved. She even stole the white wolf pup my mother gave me before she died. She slit its throat and threw its cold body at my doorstep. My father, the Alpha King, remained silent about her cruelty.

During the Black Friday rush, the AI system I developed helped the company target ads with surgical precision, raking in thirty million dollars in revenue. However, when it came time to claim the project bonus, the Director flatly rejected my application. "The system is just a support tool," he said coldly. "The credit for these sales belongs entirely to the Sales Department." I kept my temper in check and pulled up the system logs. "Eighty-eight percent of the orders came from the system's p

1 The new, brooding guy at school is a Succubus. My childhood friend, Wyatt, with a smirk that just pissed me off, shoved me right into his arms. "Go on, Bailey! You've got that skin hunger thing, right? Go hug him! "Looks like he's desperate for the touch of a woman, so you two are a match made in hell." I stood there, frozen in the middle of the party room, the sound of the other students' mocking laughter hitting me like a tidal wave. So, I ran. Later, that Succubus guy found me hiding

My fiancé, Caleb Blackwood, the future Alpha of the Silverback Pack, vanished the night before our mating ceremony. For three years, I waited for him while the pack whispered behind my back. Then, the High Council issued a mandate for a political marriage with the Northern Wilds. I had spent months sewing my ceremonial dress, only to find out Caleb had been traveling the world with his sickly cousin, Seraphina. Driven by a desperate need for closure, I tracked them to a sacred grove in t

In my past life, I stormed out after a massive blowout with my wife. That very night, she suffered a fatal heart attack. I rushed to the hospital, only to be told her body had already been cremated. When I returned home, broken and grieving, the court was already seizing our house. It turned out she had secretly racked up millions of dollars in debt before she died. Driven by guilt, I spent my life working like a dog to pay it off and supported her parents until their final days. Fifty year

For our graduation trip, my boyfriend took me to his family's private island in the Florida Keys. His childhood friend, Lyla, came along too. Our yacht hit a hidden reef, leaving us stranded. Lyla pointed at some fins circling in the distance and claimed they were our rescue. "Look, dolphins! They're going to lead us back to the shore!" she cried out. My boyfriend nodded in excitement. The rest of the group looked on with hope in their eyes. I shook my head frantically. Those weren't dolphi

1 It was our fourth wedding anniversary. My husband Lucas Lexton's young secretary posted a photo of the two of them on social media. The caption read: "I hope to spend the rest of my life with you." I hit the like button. Within seconds, she deleted the post. A minute later, my phone rang. It was Lucas. I could hear him comforting the sobbing secretary on the other end. He started screaming at me, calling me narrow-minded and accusing me of making a scene over nothing. After he hung up,

The Golden Scale werewolf clan was cursed centuries ago for an ancient sin. Every full moon, our blood ignited with a searing, agonizing fire that guaranteed a short, miserable life. Our only salvation was to leap through the Celestial Gate, evolve into a divine dragon shifter, and ascend to the heavens to lift the curse. When my twin sister was born, a phoenix cried out in the sky, marking her as the chosen savior of our pack. I was born right after her, frail, sickly, and clinging to life w

Natalie spent hundreds of thousands of dollars renovating the largest suite in our boutique hotel. She used top-tier materials and stocked an entire wall with imported vintage wine. I honestly thought it was a surprise gift for our tenth wedding anniversary. Instead, I walked in to find her roleplaying in cosplay with her first love’s younger brother. They were tangled on the bed, passionately making out. When I confronted her, she sneered at me. “What do you know? We’re just acting out a

I had been married to Everett Sterling for seven years. In that time, he had kept twenty-nine mistresses like they were pets in a cage. I watched the thirtieth young girl lounging on our king-sized bed. She was wrapped in nothing but a white bath towel. I turned my gaze toward him. "Is playing around outside not enough for you? Did you have to bring her into our bedroom?" The girl intentionally pulled the towel lower. "Honey, Everett told me you're like a cold corpse in bed! Why don't

Today was the sixth time my girlfriend, Lyra Thorne, was supposed to meet my parents. My parents and I waited at the bistro for four agonizing hours. During that time, I called her dozens of times, but she never picked up. Just as I was about to dial one last time, Lyra's childhood best friend, Jace Sterling, posted a location tag at a boutique hotel on the outskirts of the city. "From eighteen to eighty, we'll walk this path together." The post featured a photo of a woman's bare, porcelain

1. I was in the final stages of kidney failure. There was only one matching donor available. My fiancé, Xavier Hayes, bought out that donor. He wanted to keep the kidney as a backup for my sister, Tiana, who only had early-stage kidney disease. I didn't argue. I turned down the aggressive, painful treatments the doctor suggested. Instead, I only asked for the strongest painkillers they had. I only have three days left. After that, I'll finally be free. During these three days, I finally bec

My boyfriend decided to dump toxic artificial snow in a protected wilderness area just to get the perfect shot for his dream girl. I knew the chemicals in that fake snow would kill the rare, ancient plants there. I begged them to stop, trying to explain the danger. But his dream girl just rolled her eyes, accusing me of being jealous of her looks. In a fit of rage, she shoved me directly into the pile of toxic chemicals. The toxins burned my eyes, leaving me blind and stumbling. I reached out
