All works

My wife, Joanna, is a yoga fanatic. She spends hours every week at a private studio, claiming she needs the extra stretching. Every time she came home from a session, she would bring me a small gift. I always thought those gifts were tokens of her love for me. That was until I caught her wrapped in the arms of her personal instructor. I watched them lose themselves in a moment of heat right there in the locker room. I realized then that all my devotion had been for nothing. 1. That n

1. After three years of painstaking effort, I crafted a lead role for my HBO limited series, only for my husband Robert to casually hand it over to his newly signed, pitifully new actor. The girl, Chloe Bennett, posted a "first look" photo in costume on her Instagram, which was quickly picked up by Variety's website. [I'm so thrilled to be starting this new journey. A huge thank you to the director for trusting me and to my fans for all the love. #HBO #NewSeries] My agent sent me the link. I

On the day the bonuses were released, the accountant handed me a fifty-dollar voucher for the burger joint downstairs. He told me my CEO wife, Elena, had personally authorized this. I couldn't believe my ears and went straight to her office to demand an answer. "Did we not agree that whoever secured this project would receive a five-million-dollar bonus?" "Stop making a scene! My sister's cochlear implant surgery is waiting for that money!" Elena looked at me with a straight face, her eyes

I drank until my stomach bled just to secure a lead role for Valerie Lyndon. Instead of thanking me, she wore the ring I gave her while climbing into the bed of Manhattan’s elite Crown Prince. I swallowed my pride and begged her to come back. She called me a pathetic, incompetent loser. When I finally gave up on her, my billionaire father found me. Suddenly, she was the one begging for my forgiveness like a madwoman. 1. “Director Miller, it’s a deal then. You’ll consider Valerie for the s

1 The cleanest lie in the world is a person looking into a mirror and pretending they cannot see themselves. I managed to keep that lie going for six months. I didn’t stop until I finally uncovered the truth. Chapter 1：The Light in the Dark The day I suddenly regained my sight was a Wednesday morning. There were no dramatic signs or warnings. The day before, I had been completely blind―not the blurry kind of blindness, but a total, crushing void. It was as if someone had unscrewed all th

At our engagement party, just because I refused to let Garrett Sutton’s foster sister wear my bridal gown to my own wedding, he strangled me until I blacked out from oxygen deprivation. “You know Brooke has a weak heart! You deliberately triggered an episode! You’re pure evil!” While I lay in critical condition at the hospital, the two of them went on vacation. After returning refreshed, Garrett acted magnanimously: “Clara, kneel down and apologize to Brooke at tomorrow’s department town hal

Chapter 1 After failing to win Bryce's heart ninety-nine times, I finally gave up. When he wanted to spend our fifth wedding anniversary on vacation with Kendra, I let him go. When he asked for a divorce to give Kendra the status of his lawful wife, I signed the papers without hesitation. Even when he wanted to take away the newborn daughter I had nearly died delivering and hand her over to Kendra, I simply nodded. Seeing how pale I was, Bryce knelt beside my hospital bed, his voice gentle

1. “Miss Vance, this is your custom ‘Disappearance Protocol.’ Are you sure you want to execute the ‘accidental cliff fall’ program during your wedding livestream in two weeks?” “Yes.” The agent across the table pushed up his glasses, his expression serious. “Are you certain? Once you fake your death in front of a national audience, your current social security number, credit history, and all identifying information will be permanently erased. There’s no going back.” Elara gripped the folder

1. The night the rumors about Liam and that actress started trending on Twitter again, I was sitting on the couch, munching on a bag of chips. I opened a fan-edited video on social media. I stuffed my face while crying over their "sweet love story." Beside me, Liam sighed, lifting his head from his script. "Babe, it's all acting. It’s not real. Don't be mad." I looked up at him, tears swimming in my eyes. "No, I’m crying because I genuinely think you two look great together." The background

When I was ten, my parents died in a plane crash on their way home for my birthday. My older sister, Audrey, hated me to the bone for it. She cut off my living expenses and threw me out of the house. She used to scream at me, "Why couldn't it be you who died!" Just as she wished, I was finally dead. In the operating room next door, Audrey was busy performing a kidney transplant on the boy she had taken in. "The hospital found a perfect match. I promise I won't let anything happen to you!"

1 Caleb and I were childhood sweethearts. I thought our love was unbreakable. Everything changed the day I needed him to sign my surgery consent forms. A single phone call from my cousin, Vivian, was all it took for him to abandon me. My mother told me to be the bigger person. She insisted Caleb should be with Vivian because of her depression. My father scolded me, calling me selfish. He demanded I always give in to my sister. I didn't understand. I was their biological daughter. Why did

"Ms. Sinclair, please confirm one last time if you want to initiate the identity erasure service. Once it begins, it cannot be terminated. There will be no room for regret." I didn't hesitate for a single second. I picked up the pen and signed my name on the contract. "The service will take effect on the first of next month. Every trace of your existence as Rainie Sinclair will be wiped clean. Rest assured, we will handle all the loose ends." As I walked out of the office building, I saw my h

My wife threw our daughter onto an explosive movie set, causing her horrific death. All because her first love said: "If this movie wins an award, I'll definitely marry you." Afterward, she mocked me for being petty. "We can always have another kid! Landon is retiring after this year!" "Helping him win is our honor! Why can't you ever understand me?" I finally woke up from the nightmare and dragged them both to court. Since they loved each other so much, I decided to send her to prison to

At my college professor's wedding, my childhood buddies teased me. "Your bond with Chloe is practically written in stone." "You guys have been in love for seven years, and you're still wearing those matching couple outfits to make the rest of us jealous. Are we going to hear some wedding bells soon?" Before I could even deny it, Chloe let out a scoff. "Who would want to marry a lapdog like him?" The atmosphere instantly dropped to a freezing point. My friends awkwardly scratched their heads.

The man my wife had loved in secret for years had finally claimed the throne of our enemy pack! During the war between our two territories, she added an extra herb to the King's medicine just to give her sweetheart a chance to survive. Because of that single choice, all one hundred and thirty-eight healers in the Royal Infirmary were executed. I was among those who died in that senseless bloodbath. When questioned about her actions, my wife, Princess Seraphina, simply frowned with annoya

I'm the lead writer for a hit series. At the table read for my own script, I sat in the far corner. The nameplate in front of me simply read "Production Assistant." Nobody introduced me, and nobody asked for my opinion. The lead actress, Jocelyn Reed, changed one single line―from "I don't love you" to "I don't love you anymore." For that one extra word, she was given a screenwriter credit. If they want to play this way, they shouldn't blame me for being heartless. 1. The day Jocelyn join

When I transmigrated into this world, the story was already nearing its happily-ever-after. As the devoted female lead, my husband and I were supposed to be deeply in love. For five years of marriage, he treated me with utmost tenderness, so much so that I forgot I was merely a character in a book. Until our fifth anniversary, when his true self-awareness awakened. During a fire on the film set, Damian Mercer rushed into the flames without a second thought. He didn’t save me, though. He res

In the middle of the night, I received a text from my drunk wife. I rushed over in my car to pick her up, only to walk right into her French-kissing her childhood sweetheart. When I confronted her, she did not care at all. "It was just a party game. Why are you making such a big deal out of it?" Later that night, I went through her phone and saw the messages between her and her sweetheart, Kendrick Shaw. "If I had crashed your wedding back then, would you have run away with me?" "Yes. I on

My best friend and I married into the prominent Mercer family on the very same day. I married the elite chief surgeon, while she married his younger brother, a Hollywood A-lister. On our third wedding anniversary, I fell down the stairs while pregnant. At that exact moment, my husband was across town helping his first love deliver her cat's kittens. When I begged him through tears to come home, he scoffed and said, "Can you stop being so dramatic? Cynthia's cat is in critical condition. Have

On our golden anniversary, I accidentally discovered my celebrity wife's private photo collection in her cloud drive. In the photos, she was incredibly provocative, showing a level of intimacy that was staggering. The man behind the camera was none other than Ewan, her exclusive photographer, who was exactly thirty years her junior. Attached to the photos was a caption: "I will never let my husband touch me again! My body exists only for my darling Ewan's eyes!" Thirty years of my devotion a
