All works

When I walked into the hotel, my wife ran into her boss. Without a second thought, she turned around and slapped me across the face. "Xavier, help! This creep is trying to harass me. I'm so scared," she whimpered. I was branded a pervert and surrounded by an angry mob. They didn't hesitate to beat me to the ground. My wife didn't look back. She just clung to her boss's arm and walked away. It turned out I wasn't just a victim. I was the most humiliated husband in the world. 1. When I final

Chapter 1 This was the tenth time I stood waiting to sign our marriage certificate. And for the tenth time, Nathaniel Beckett stood me up for the sake of his precious first love. I was finally done. I decided to pack my bags and join a medical mission to the most dangerous border region. Later, Nathaniel went out of his mind begging me to come home. But I didn't want him anymore. ...... After shivering in the cold wind outside City Hall for an hour, I finally decided to give up on Nathani

I saw a post on the university forum asking for help with an entrepreneurship assignment. Using my old student account, I casually joined their group chat. My occupational habit kicked in, and I ended up fixing their financial models and marketing strategies. The group went crazy. They showered me with praise, called me a genius senior, and constantly begged for more advice. Two months later, the pitch deck was flawless, but the group chat suddenly went dead silent. Curious, I checked the sh

Three days before our first wedding anniversary, I excitedly planned an anniversary trip for us. Instead, my wife unilaterally changed our romantic getaway into an after-party for a young boy-band idol signed to her agency. Under the scorching California sun, security barred me from the gates of our own marital mansion. I called her dozens of times until my chronic stomach ulcer flared up in agony, yet she never showed up. Meanwhile, the pretty-boy idol posted a cozy photo of the two of them

“Who are you? There is no one here you know.” The security guard pushed me away from the Sterling estate entrance. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, I saw my half-sister, Yara, holding a glass of champagne. She was toasting a room full of guests―using my name and marrying my client. A week ago, she stole my academic records and professional portfolio. My ten-year career history became her dowry overnight. She spotted me through the glass. That look in her eyes was the same as when she

1 I was hospitalized with a high fever, but my wife, Sarah, yanked out my IV and dragged me out of the hospital. All because her assistant, Ashley, was drunk and needed me to make her hangover soup. I begged her to let me go later, when I felt better, but she called me a drama queen. After making the soup, I was drenched in cold sweat from the fever, and I pleaded with her to take me back to the hospital, but she didn't even glance at me. ""A grown man, such a drama queen! It's just a cold.

1 My sister-in-law, Lulu, made a career out of being a professional airhead. She spent her days pouting, biting her lip, and playing the ditzy damsel in distress. Right before my college graduation, she dumped my laptop into a bucket of water. My final thesis was destroyed, my hard drive was fried, and I was unable to graduate. She just tapped her temple and stuck out her tongue. "Oopsie! I'm just a little bit clumsy, Faye. You wouldn't actually be mad at me, right?" On the day of my suppos

At the scene of the raging fire, my husband scooped up his fainting mistress first. He never heard our six-year-old daughter crying and screaming for help from inside the flames. My little girl was burned alive. When her death certificate was issued, he was still at the hospital, tenderly tending to his golden bird. The very first words out of his mouth when he finally stepped home were, "Janna, tell your daughter to get out here and donate some blood." I broke down, desperately trying to t

On the morning of my wedding, my wealthy bride was swapped out for a widowed fishmonger from the local seafood market. The groomsmen instantly burst into mocking laughter. "Since when did you develop such heavy tastes, Austin? You don't even mind a woman who has already popped out a kid?" "The sole heir of the Campbell family marrying a fish-gutting widow! This is going to be the biggest joke in the entire city!" Then, the family driver's son walked up to me with a smug sneer. "Who told you

At the signing ceremony, our biggest client looked at the beautiful new technician and asked if she could drink. She didn't hesitate. She poured the entire bottle of red wine over his head and spoke with a cold, calm voice. "Drinking culture is a toxic relic of the past. I am here to clean up this workplace." Mr. Logan, a man who brought in three hundred million dollars in profit every year, was absolutely furious. He ripped the contract to shreds right then and there. As the project lead, I

I am a Soulcaller, a bridge between the living and the dead. I can bring any corpse back to life as long as they have been dead for less than five hours. In my past life, Silas Blackwood and his entire family knelt at my door, promising their entire fortune. They begged me to use my gift to resurrect the old Patriarch Blackwood. Afterward, Silas married me and treated me like a precious treasure. But three months later, the Patriarch died under mysterious circumstances. The Matriarch of th

After Silas Thorne was framed by his business rivals, he immediately told me to run for my life. "Just survive, and act like you never met me!" he shouted. I didn't listen. I jumped from a moving car while eight months pregnant and spent two days kneeling in the freezing snow. I stayed there until I convinced the witness to testify in court. I lost my baby during that cold night, and the tragedy left my health in ruins. I used to be a shining principal dancer, but now I'm just a fragile woma

My parents forced me into a summer job just three days after I finished my high school finals. Maybe it was because of some connection they had, but I could make a hundred and twenty bucks a day just by slacking off for eight hours. I was so thrilled that I shared the news with my best friend, Yara, immediately. "Come work with me, it's eight hours a day and super easy!" I told her. Yara interviewed and started the very next day. By her second day, the atmosphere at work was better than eve

My sister and I were born as twins. She was born with a heart of pure gold, while I was born with a thirst for blood. My sister was supposed to ascend to the heavens as an immortal. But on that day, she kindly saved the only daughter of Harrison Sterling, the wealthiest man in the New York business circle. To her surprise, Madison Sterling was jealous of my sister’s destiny. That cold-blooded girl burned her alive. Madison laughed arrogantly. “I am the only heir to the Sterling family. You

1 It was late at night. My stomach was cramping so badly I had to call Ethan. "Look, I can't leave right now. Why don't you just take some pain meds? The power's out at Ashley's, and she's freaked out being there alone with the kids. I gotta make sure they're okay." I opened my notes app and added a tally mark: 77. That was the 77th time he'd ditched me for Ashley and her kids. … July 7th. My birthday. Our anniversary. Every year, Ethan and I made a big deal out of it. So, on July 6th, I

On our seventh wedding anniversary, I took an emergency call at the hospital that scarred me for life. Two naked bodies were rushed into trauma bay, tangled together in a desperate, frantic embrace. It was my wife, Lorelei, and my best friend, Garrett. According to the EMTs, their high-voltage bedroom toy had malfunctioned and electrocuted them mid-hookup, leaving them unconscious and fused together. Looking at the sickening scene before me, my heart felt like it had been shredded by dull bla

The dust on the old phone was three years thick when I finally dug it out. I charged it for half an hour, and the screen finally flickered to life. The messaging app logged in automatically, and the chat history loaded page by page. Landon Reed’s name was the third one down on the list. The last message was from me―three simple words: “Let’s break up.” There was a red exclamation mark right next to it. Sending failed. I stared at that red mark, my thumb hovering over the glass, fr

Chapter 1 My sister and I were both bound to a System that forced us to win the hearts of shifters. She chose the gentle fox. I chose the cold, aloof wild bird who loved only once. Turns out her fox was a shameless player who never cared about her at all. He spent his days in brothels, and he even tried to pass her around to his best buddy to share. My sister failed her mission and was about to be erased from existence. But the wild bird I picked turned out to be the Phoenix King. Once I co

After I successfully made Jude York fall for me, he suddenly woke up. As the male lead, every woman in this story was supposed to be obsessed with him. He was no longer satisfied with being tied down to a plain woman like me. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, he fooled around with the childhood sweetheart he once regretted losing. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, he worshipped his untouchable first love. On Sundays, he trampled my heart into the dirt. "I already helped you finish

1. In the elite circles of New York, everyone said Julian Vance was born for Ava Mitchell. He was obsessed with her. That’s why he proposed the very day he turned 25, the legal age to inherit his full fortune. Yet, this was the same man who stood her up nine times on their way to City Hall to get a marriage license. The first time, he changed the date at the last minute to fly Claire Morgan to Orlando for the Disney fireworks show. The second time, he flew straight to St. Barts because Cla
