All works

1 This was my sixth prenatal checkup since I got pregnant. Landon was still by his childhood sweetheart's side. I was seven months along. This should have been a time when he was most attentive to me. But every single time I went to the clinic, he was busy taking care of Skylar. This time, I tried to make him stay. "It's just one checkup, Landon. It won't take much of your time," I pleaded. "Is it really that important to go and baby her just so she takes her meds?" Landon turned to me, h

Chapter 1 The day before our wedding, Shane cheated on me. He handed me a document granting a ten percent stake in Atkinson Enterprises. "Gia is back. I can't abandon her again." I screamed, I fought, and I practically begged on my knees for him to stay. We had been together for seven years. I stood by him through rock bottom and helped him build his empire from scratch. Yet, for the woman who once walked out on him, he called off our wedding without hesitation. Shane watched my breakdown

1 I was sent back to my biological parents with nothing but a backpack and my service dog, Buddy. Just because the fake daughter said she wanted dog meat dumplings for the Lantern Festival, they killed Buddy and threw him in the pot. I flipped the table, turning the mansion into a disaster zone. Mom looked at me, full of disappointment. "Don't you know your sister has depression? It's rare for her to be happy, and you're making a fuss over a dog?" Dad gave me a cold stare. "You're a psycho.

When I was seventeen, I was crushing hard on this guy. My family wasn’t rolling in dough, so I’d been saving for a year to buy him a birthday gift. The day my mom had her accident, I’d skipped out of school early. That’s when I heard him, laughing with his buddy. “This thing? Man, a participation prize at some diner would be better than this,” he'd said, all smug. His friend cracked up. “Knowing Ray, he’d never use it. Give it to me, I could hock it for some internet time.” “Whatever, take i

After I was reborn, I didn't step up for the girl who got caught stealing. If she went to class, I dropped out. If she came to my house, I moved. I did everything I could to cut all ties with her. In my last life, I knew she only married me for my family's money, yet I still gave her my whole heart. She called the jewelry I bought her "tacky." She called my affection "annoying." I lived in a cold, loveless marriage, thinking she would eventually love me back. I endured twenty years of her

1. The ER call came in at midnight. A couple had been caught hooking up in a car and were suffocating. I rushed to the scene. But when I arrived, I found my husband of ten years. Even though he was unconscious, he was still holding his little intern tightly. On his finger, he was still wearing our wedding ring. Later, I decided to divorce him and start a new life. He became the laughingstock of our entire social circle. "Sienna has already married a young, handsome guy. Some people stil

I came back from the dead, and the first thing I did was write my brother's name on the marriage license. This time, I'm giving Chloe Sterling exactly what she wants. I was the one who handed Justin the groom's tuxedo and slipped the engagement ring onto his finger. I personally orchestrated every one of their 'destined' encounters. When she took him to New York City to start their new life, I didn't say a word and headed straight for the West Coast to attend university. I remember my past

1 My mother was framed and thrown into a cell. My husband, the city's top-tier defense attorney, was her only hope. But on the day of the trial, he refused to show up. He chose to stay home and look after his feverish first love instead. In the middle of a brutal blizzard, I knelt in the snow and begged him to save her. He looked at me with nothing but pure disgust, refusing to even spare me a glance. "It's just one lost case, Aria! So she spends a few years behind bars. It's not like she's

Sienna's first love lost his memory. He thought he was still twenty, back in the years when they were head over heels for each other. She felt so sorry for him that she pretended to be twenty again, spending every day by his side. My daughter and I were forced to live in the shadows, hiding so he wouldn't find out we existed. "Just hold on a little longer," she told me. "I'll tell him everything at our daughter's third birthday party." But at the party, her first love couldn't handle the trut

My wife's assistant left off three zeros on a multimillion-dollar contract, causing our firm catastrophic financial losses. The partner factory went bankrupt overnight, and their devastated owner took his own life under the crushing pressure. The moment the assistant shed a few crocodile tears, my wife pinned the entire disaster on me, claiming I had managed the project from the start. The company dragged me to court, burying me under eight figures of crushing debt. The deceased owner's fami

My parents were obsessed with the idea of my sister marrying into old money. They even pressured her to drop out of her senior year of high school to focus on finding a rich husband. In my past life, I did everything to stop them. "Dad, Mom, women need to be independent these days. Besides, even rich families care about a degree!" I argued. Because of my interference, they gave up on the idea. But things didn't go as planned. Lana didn't marry into money. Instead, she fell for some local thug

At the school assembly, Brayden pointed at me and screamed that I was a total fraud. “Riley isn’t some police consultant. She’s nothing but a hopeless loser who can’t even pass a basic test!” The entire auditorium erupted in mocking laughter. That was until the Chief of Police pushed open the double doors. He walked straight toward me in front of two thousand students and teachers, bowing deeply. “Consultant X, I am so sorry for the disrespect you’ve been subjected to.” The laughter died

Three days after being kidnapped, my sister and I were finally found. My mother, a renowned surgeon, prioritized every available medical resource to perform a full-body scan on my sister, who had merely been frightened. She didn't spare a single glance for me, even as I suffered a cardiac arrest. When I begged for her help, she only snapped at me with cold fury. "Serena almost had a heart attack from the shock. Can't you be more mature for once? Stop making up these pathetic excuses just to g

In my past life, I was weak and submissive. Riley Vance led a gang that bullied me for three years straight. They spread so many rumors that I fell into a deep depression and dropped out. My life was completely destroyed. When I opened my eyes again, I was back in my freshman classroom. Riley was leading her group, surrounding my desk. They were grabbing my notes, tearing my textbooks, and insulting me in front of everyone. It was the exact same scene as before. But this time, I didn't just si

1 I died six months ago during birth complications. Now, my husband has finally found me. He wants me to end my pregnancy so I can donate bone marrow to his golden girl. He thinks I am the only match for her. My mother looked him in the eye and said, "Nancy is gone." Jace's face twisted with pure disgust. "I have ignored her for half a year, and now her temper has only grown worse. She is even faking her own death!" "Tell Nancy this for me." "Even if she gives birth to that little mistak

1. Spencer pinned Chloe, the new girl in our lab, to the top of his iMessage. But he refused to pin me. So I broke up with him. My best friend, Maya, couldn’t believe it. "Over something that small?" Everyone thought I'd regret it. After all, Spencer was the perfect boyfriend. He planned out every step for me, from my bachelor's degree to my direct Ph.D. program, making sure we'd end up at the same top-tier university. He meticulously analyzed which cities would be best for us to settle i

My grandfather fell seriously ill and needed specialized treatment abroad. The family elders wanted one of the younger generation to accompany him as his caregiver. They originally chose my cousin, Sienna, but my mother begged me with tears in her eyes to take her place. "Elara, you are a trained doctor. Looking after your grandfather won't be hard for you. But your cousin lost her parents so young and has always been frail. she simply isn't built for that kind of hardship." I couldn't bear t

Vanessa Thorne, the heiress of Los Angeles, was famous for her rule. She only did one-month flings and never caught feelings. Men wanting to climb the social ladder lined up from Santa Monica to Beverly Hills. If she was in a good mood, she'd gift a villa. If she wasn't, the breakup fee was still a cool million. Everyone in the city laughed at me. They called me the most pathetic trophy husband in history. They thought I'd endure it forever for the sake of the lifestyle. That was until Van

As the only Purifier left in this post-apocalyptic wasteland, I had a unique gift. I could strip the infection from any victim within twelve hours of their bite, restoring them to perfect health. In my past life, the Sanctuary Leader promised to build me a world-class lab if I saved Shane Sterling. Shane was an S-rank powerhouse on the brink of turning into a monster. After he woke up, he made a grand show of his devotion and married me in front of everyone. With my powers backing him, Sh

The man I loved was General Pierce Thorne, the legendary protector of our northern borders. He was a man who had renounced all romance. Even when my brother, the King, tried to force our marriage through a political alliance, Pierce refused to agree. After I was sent away to marry a northern tribal leader for peace, a woman began to follow Pierce every day. He didn't seem to hate her presence. Later, my brother finally sent a carriage to bring me home. But on that very day, I heard that Gen
