All works

1 In the sixth year of our marriage, Callan Lockwood gave my family heirloom to his little assistant. The assistant posted a cozy photo of them on her Instagram to show off. 【I heard this is an heirloom meant only for the Lockwood family's daughter-in-law~】 I saw it and my finger slipped, giving it a like. Callan called me soon after, with the assistant's whimpering voice audible in the background. He scolded me for being unreasonable and claimed I couldn't take a joke. If this had been t

I was the secret boyfriend of the famous novelist, Morgan Lowe. We were together for ten years, but she never acknowledged me to the world. On the day I was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, she finally posted her fiancé on social media. It wasn't me. Her caption read: "You only show off the person you truly love." I decided to let go and started a solo journey across the country. Every time I reached a new destination, I used a voice-memo plushie to record what I wanted to say. I visi

To save up enough gold for the ritual to save my son, Ben, I spent five years as a Death Walker. I guided the restless spirits of the dead through the dark woods, a job everyone loathed. On his sixth birthday, I finally had enough. But on my way home, I tumbled down a jagged ravine. Driven by the need to see my son one last time, I dragged my broken body back to our village, clutching the blood-stained coins. "Your Grace, Celine has sent word that she has enough money. What is our next m

My cousin, Winnie, used the lure of federal subsidies to invite every senior in our small town on a free trip to Southeast Asia. I watched as our relatives emptied their life savings to buy "Blue Whale Milk," a supposed miracle cure for every disease. This time, I chose to stay silent and let it happen. In my past life, as soon as I heard about the free trip, I knew it was a pyramid scheme. I couldn't bear to see our neighbors get scammed, so I called the police to stop it. After a lecture on

I just ended a five-year marathon of a relationship with my girlfriend, who is five years younger than me. On the very eve of us getting our marriage license, I caught her at the mall. She was participating in a public couples' challenge with a younger guy from the architecture department. After the game ended, I gently took her hand with a bitter smile. "You said you'd love me forever," I whispered. She didn't even flinch. Instead, she laced her fingers tightly with the younger student's.

1 My childhood sweetheart, the guy I was practically arranged to marry, fell for a girl from the wrong side of the tracks. Lily Evans. To be with her, he went against his family, against mine, against everyone, and broke off our engagement. Heartbroken, I left for Paris to study. By the time I returned, he and Lily had been married for almost two years. I was over it, completely. But at my welcome-back party, Ashton Miller, the same guy who once defied the world for Lily, stood there with an

I had been married to Clara for seven years. It was a business arrangement, but she had still gone through the agony of giving birth to our son. Yet, she treated him like a stranger. "My only job was to give birth to him," she would say coldly. "Anything that happens to him now is none of my concern." No matter how hard our son tried to please her, she remained a wall of ice. Everything changed the day her first love, the man who got away, returned to the country. Clara, who usually stayed ou

I had been with Heath for seven years. I finally got his marriage proposal, and with tears of pure joy, I said yes. Just one week before our wedding, I found a hidden folder on Heath's laptop. Every single file inside was a detailed blueprint of a future Heath planned with another woman. Among them were pictures and milestones of their newborn baby. That woman was not me. It was my half-sister. Quietly, I booked a one-way flight out of the country for the morning of our wedding. On the b

1. The moment Tyler squeezed the so-called "lube" inside me, the warmth I expected never came. Instead, a searing, tearing pain shot through my body. I tried to scramble away, to curl up like a wounded animal. "Surprise!" A figure shot out from under the bed, accompanied by the loud pop of a party cannon. "Tyler, I knew you had it in you! This is what Truth or Dare is all about!" It was Casey, Tyler's childhood best friend. I stared at them in disbelief as a cold sweat soaked the sheets.

My girlfriend called me in tears, sobbing that armed robbers had broken into our house and demanded a five-million-dollar ransom. I abandoned a multi-million-dollar business negotiation and blew through every red light to race home. When I burst through the front door, I found her throwing a wild housewarming party with her male best friend. The whole kidnapping was nothing more than a twisted prank to test my love. Seeing me panting in the doorway, her best friend egged on the crowd to thro

It was the sixth year of my mission to win Jace over. Now, he wanted a divorce. He wanted to spend the final months of his first love's life by her side. I told him I wouldn't agree to it. I warned him that if we signed those papers, I would lose every single memory of him. Jace didn't believe me. He shoved the divorce settlement into my hands with a look of pure disgust. "She's dying, for God's sake. Can you stop being so selfish and lying through your teeth?" he snapped. Later, it turned o

The day Elara said we were over, it was pouring rain. She told me, "Connor, I don't love you anymore." I actually believed her. It took me three years to realize that she had a diagnostic report for an endoscopy tucked in her pocket that day, and that her voice had been trembling the entire time. Some misunderstandings, once spoken aloud, can never be clarified again. 1. The day Elara said we were over, it was pouring rain. It was a Friday, the first major storm since summer hit Chicago,

It was a game of Truth or Dare. Sienna drew a card that forced her to kiss someone in the room for three full minutes. Before I could even react, her childhood best friend stepped up and pulled her into a passionate kiss. Even after the timer went off, they were still locked together, lost in each other. I frowned and cleared my throat to remind them. Sienna pulled away just long enough to snap at me. "It is just a game, Ethan! Why do you have to be such a buzzkill?" "If you can't stand to

1 In my past life, after Britney, the real heiress, returned home, my icy mother demanded I hand over the CEO position. I refused, but out of guilt, made her Vice President. She then systematically seized control of the company, even seducing my husband, leaving me destitute. As I lay dying, she gloated, "Ashley, I finally have everything that belongs to me! And you? You can die!" Everything that belonged to her? I laughed. She didn't know that without me, there would be no company, no glamorou

Everyone in Boston knew Caleb loved me more than life itself. He was even willing to turn against the whole world just to protect me. But the very day after I accepted his proposal, I overheard him laughing with his friends. "Caleb is the man," Zach chuckled. "He keeps his main girl happy at home while having fun on the side!" "That college girl is posting all over social media about the apartment you bought her," another friend said. "Aren't you worried Meredith will find out?" Caleb blew

My fifty-five-year-old mother-in-law was pregnant. Her boy toy showed up at my door, waving a video in my face. "Give me fifty thousand dollars, and I'll keep my mouth shut about your mother-in-law's reputation," he sneered. My husband, Greg, tried to guilt-trip me into quitting my high-paying job. He wanted me to use my entire life savings to support his mother's pregnancy. But in my past life, that woman stabbed me to death because she thought I wasn't taking good enough care of her. Whe

My sister and I were both destined to marry into the Blackwood wolf shifter clan. She chose the black wolf, a powerful warrior and the heir to the pack. But he was cold and ruthless, and after the wedding, her life became a living nightmare of his rage. I was left with the sickly white wolf. He was gentle and caring, or so I thought. He eventually used his cunning to steal the title of Alpha from his brother. Jealous of my status as the Luna, my sister poisoned me. She couldn't stand to see m

On my wedding day, I stood there in my sharpest suit, my heart overflowing with joy as I waited for Yasmine. The officiant called out for the third time, "Please welcome the bride!" But the doors remained closed. The guests began to whisper. Their confused glances soon turned into looks of pity and mockery. Finally, someone let out a sharp laugh. It felt like a blade cutting through the air, followed by a wave of ridicule that crashed over me. "The bride ran away? That's brutal." "Maybe the

Chapter 1 I raised Devon for eight years, and I loved him for eight years. I honestly thought I had hidden my feelings perfectly. Yet the very first thing Devon did after rising to power as a corporate titan was send me to a strict women's obedience reform academy. He looked down at me with cold eyes, his arm wrapped tightly around his fiancée. "Come out only when you have purged those filthy thoughts from your head." A year later, I finally forgot him completely. Yet Devon was the one wh

1. My sister and I were choosing our tribal marriage partners. She lunged forward, grabbing the noble High Draconian for herself. That left me with no choice but to marry the savage Werewolf. Shortly after the wedding in my past life, the Draconian died in a freak accident. My sister was left with nothing, surviving on the scraps of others and suffering endless humiliation. Meanwhile, the Werewolf turned out to be a brilliant businessman. Using his natural instincts for trade, he built a mass
