All works

I transmigrated into a trashy, heart-wrenching novel as the villainous NPC. I arrived just in time for the grand finale. Because I supposedly ruined the male lead's chance at the Ivy League entrance exams, my two biological brothers forced me to my knees. My oldest brother beat me ruthlessly with a heavy rod. "Don't you dare stand up until you've kowtowed a thousand times!" he roared. My second brother threw a bottle of poison at my feet. "A piece of trash like you should just die," he sne

1. The third time my boyfriend, Alex, ditched me for that girl from Brooklyn, I locked up my office at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory and accepted a transfer to New Mexico. That night, they were celebrating her birthday at some dive bar called Doc Holliday's. And I was on a flight to the desert, deleting every last picture of him. Five years later, I snuffed out the Marlboro he offered me in a trash can at JFK. He froze on the spot, while I murmured into my phone, "Yeah, I just landed, Julian."

I had just finished watching the concert of the idol I had adored for five years. My heart was still racing when my phone suddenly rang. It was him. He thought I was the most beautiful girl in the front row and confessed his love to me with such passion. We started a secret online relationship that lasted a year. It felt like a dream until our first anniversary, the day we finally met in person. The moment he saw me, his face changed. He didn't just break up with me; he insulted me and stop

My mother sent me to a reform school because of a single cigarette butt. That place wasn't a school. It was a living nightmare. I begged her countless times to let me come home. But her eyes were only ever fixed on my younger brother and my stepfather. I realized too late that the day she remarried, she stopped being my mother. Now that I'm gone, why is she crying? Didn't she throw me away a long time ago? 1 I'm dead. My body is tucked away in a locker in the dorm room. My skin has turn

When I lost the baby in a car crash, Caleb Sterling was soaking in a hot spring with his childhood sweetheart. His voice over the phone was sharp with impatience. "How many tricks do you have up your sleeve? I didn't even know you were pregnant, and now you're claiming a miscarriage?" "I'm telling you, unless you're actually dying, don't bother me." The next day, I found a used condom on our bedroom floor. My heart went cold. I picked up the phone and dialed a number. "I've changed my mind.

Kieren's first love is back in the country. On our eighth wedding anniversary, he brought her home without a shred of shame. He tossed a fake divorce agreement in front of me. "Gemma has a weak heart. She doesn't have much time left. I want to fulfill her final wish." "You've always been so sensible. I'm sure you'll understand." I calmly packed my things to leave. But he used my parents' massive debt to force me to stay as a maid for the Sterling family. "Don't forget who's paying off the

Years ago, Alaric Blackwood knelt in the rain outside the Grand Hall for three days and nights. He begged me to marry him, swearing he would never betray my heart. But in a heartbeat, he believed the lies of a venomous woman. He used silver needles to pierce my shoulders and personally gouged out my eyes. I had taken arrows for him, won him the finest stallions, and won over the court to help him take the throne. In return, he desecrated my family's graves and slaughtered my entire bloodline.

1 For five years of marriage, Jason had cheated on me at least fifty-two times. I’d swallowed it all down, every single lie and betrayal. Until I was nine months pregnant, and Jason’s secretary screwed up with a major client. To salvage the deal, he wanted me to go and smooth things over with drinks and apologies. I stared at him, disbelief hardening into anger. "I’m carrying our child, Jason! You want me to go out drinking? What if something happens?" He cut me off, impatience dripping from

Chapter 1 While my killer was butchering me alive, my husband was at the clinic holding hands with his first love. I called him, begging for help. He only sneered into the receiver, "Stop with the pathetic drama. Haven't you played this game enough? If you have the guts, go ahead and drop dead for real!" Five days later, an extra, fresh human heart showed up on his operating table. He worked closely with the police, determining that it belonged to a young woman and had been violently ripped

1. When Ethan Frost publicly rejected me at the engagement party, my seven-year-old son Lachlan watched me. There were no tears in his amber eyes, only a chilling disdain, the kind you’d give a wounded dog left on the side of the road. “Face it, Mom. An Omega is too weak to survive in this family.” He stuffed his hands into the pockets of his expensive, custom-made suit, his tone a cold lecture he’d learned from Kaelan, far beyond his years. “Dad is a top-tier Alpha with Royal Blood. Did yo

1 On my wedding day, my mother got down on her knees, begging me to give my fiancé to my younger sister. My brother urged me, "Come on, Jenny, don't be difficult. Polly has depression, she can't handle this kind of stress." My dad just slapped me across the face. "Quit your crying, you're bad luck, a real jinx! Why couldn't it have been you who died back then?" It's okay. I will die. But when news of my actual death hit them… My brother's usually cold face showed a flicker of panic: "No wa

My mom died of cancer, leaving behind a mountain of debt. My dad never remarried. To help him pay off every cent, I gave up my dream of going to college and worked myself to the bone. I never expected that years later, at a theme park, my dad and I would see her again. My mom, who was supposed to be long dead, was happily strolling with her first love and their child. It turned out she had faked her death just to elope with another man. My dad was devastated and went to confront her, only to

Chapter 1 On the second day after our wedding, Holden Drake posted an affectionate photo with his childhood sweetheart on social media: 【Childhood love that lasts a lifetime. Aren't you jealous?】 I calmly gave the post a like. Within seconds, the photo was deleted. Holden called me immediately. With his weeping sweetheart in his arms and his entire family watching, he scolded me for being petty, unreasonable, and unable to take a joke. After hanging up, Holden changed his profile picture an

1 It was drizzling when I walked out of the custom android shop. I still remembered the clerk's instructions before I left. "Miss Thorne, the central controller will complete recording your behavioral data in fifteen days to automatically generate your android double." "According to regulations, you and your android cannot coexist in the same residence, so please change your address promptly within this period." Fifteen days... I thought about it and carefully placed the device, which look

When I flew to Paris to shoot a destination wedding for an anonymous VIP client, I discovered the groom was my boyfriend of eight years. Dressed in a sharp, tailored tuxedo, he held another woman under the Eiffel Tower and kissed her deeply. He murmured to her, "I will belong to you in every lifetime." A month later, on our own scheduled wedding day, I did not show up. Instead, I broadcasted every single shot from that Parisian photoshoot across the massive screens in the banquet hall. Since

1 I'd just been recognized by the wealthy Hayes family when I was forced to become a stand-in bride for the real heiress, Sarah. Her fiancé, Peter Knight, had been in a car accident on their wedding day, leaving him blind and quadriplegic. The doctors gave him a slim chance of recovery. Two years later, Peter made a full recovery. Then Sarah reappeared, sobbing that I'd somehow schemed to steal her wedding. Peter believed her, vowing revenge. He claimed his eyes hadn't fully healed and pr

Chapter 1 My son's preschool was holding a family field day. I rushed there as fast as I could, only to see him holding hands with my husband's secretary. "Mommy Mara, I wish we could be a family like this forever," he said. Seeing the three of them hugging, looking like a picture-perfect family, I felt a sudden, crushing exhaustion. I decided right then to apply for a divorce. I also signed up for a fifteen-year teaching mission in the most remote, rural part of the country. If I couldn'

On the day her new show wrapped up, an actor from my wife's agency posted a photo of a luxury mansion in Malibu on Instagram. The caption read, "Thanks, baby. I want to wake up with you in this king-size bed every day." I recognized that mansion immediately. My wife had asked me to book it a month ago. I was about to call her, but she yelled at me first. "Shawn worked so hard on the set. What is wrong with giving him a little reward?" "Colton, can you stop being such a jealous jerk?" A seco

It took only three years for Caleb Sterling and me to go from childhood soulmates to mutual loathing. Three years ago, after Caleb saved his family's empire, my father blackmailed him into marriage. I foolishly thought I had finally convinced my parents to let me marry for love. But on our wedding night, I found a pair of pearl-encrusted lace panties in his suit pocket that didn't belong to me. After that, he didn't even bother to hide his endless string of affairs. I cried and I bled, but

The day I entered the Silver Moon Pack’s territory, Alaric, the Alpha, held me so tight his eyes turned bloodshot. He whispered, “I have never forgotten how you saved my life. I have spent ten years searching for you.” From that moment on, I became his world. He showered me with all the luxury a Luna could desire, holding me at the very center of his heart. I stayed by his side for ten long years. Until one day, he brought back a woman who shared my face. He claimed she was his true so
