All works

Chapter 1 After Silas Sterling ditched me for the twenty-seventh time to run back to his first love, I found the resort tickets he had left on his desk. He looked at me with those cold, indifferent eyes and said, "Since you found them, I guess I'll see you this weekend. Stop complaining that I never have time for you." That night, I stood at the entrance of the resort in Aspen, shivering in the pouring rain for hours. Silas never showed up. When I finally dragged my soaked body back home, I

Three days after our wedding, my wife brought her three-month-old brother home for us to raise. To provide for him, she secretly got an IUD to avoid having our own children and emptied our bank accounts to support her family. Later, when I fell gravely ill, I overheard her parents whispering in my room. "Why waste money on treatment? Let him die so the inheritance goes to your brother. You can always find someone else." Too bad for them, I didn't die. And I'm not letting a single one of them

I had been married to Liam Jennings for three years. The tabloids about him and his secret obsession, Serena, never left the trending page. "I saved your life, and I didn't care that you became a cripple. You'd better turn a blind eye to my business with Serena," he once told me. I endured it for three long years. But then, I accidentally overheard him talking to his assistant. "Don't let her stand up. A cripple is much easier to control." Eventually, he was the one paralyzed in bed. He g

I had been married to Sabrina Sterling for eight long years. In that time, she had brought ninety-nine different men back to our home. Now, I was staring at the hundredth―a boy barely out of college. He looked at me with pure provocation before turning to her. "Sabrina, is this that pathetic excuse for a husband you mentioned?" Sabrina leaned back in her chair, her expression lazy and bored. "Yes, that's him." The boy walked over to me, tapping my cheek with a smug grin. "You should pay cl

1 It was my birthday, and finally, Melissa agreed to go on a trip with me overseas. Before we got on the plane, she texted, saying her mother was sick and leaving me, someone who barely spoke English, behind. That night, overseas, I saw a picture her childhood sweetheart posted �C her sleeping soundly in his bed. The caption read: "True love is when I call, and you drop everything to rush to me." Everyone was staring at me, waiting for my reaction. My reply was: "You're already sleeping in t

1 It has been three years since I died. The woman staying by my husband’s side all this time is a bionic android I meticulously developed. She looks exactly like me. She was programmed with every one of my habits, gestures, and ways of speaking. The only difference is that she never gets angry with him. Because of this, my husband never suspected a thing. Every night, he brings different women home, trying to provoke me. He wants to see me driven mad by jealousy. Until today, when his c

"Avery, just say yes to Silas. Go help him finish this acupuncture experiment. If you don't, I won't consider you my daughter anymore!" In my past life, my husband was the celebrated medical researcher, Silas Sterling. To help his childhood friend, Seraphina Lowe, validate an experimental electrode stimulation therapy, he needed a human subject for the final phase. This therapy used high-voltage currents to shock neural pathways. It had been shut down during animal trials due to an incredibly

1. My cousin's wife, Mabel, was dead. Her eyes were bloodshot and bulging out of her head. Her lower body was still frozen in the agonizing position of labor. My cousin, Cody, was slumped on the floor, shaking with terror. As soon as I burst through the door, my Aunt Pearl grabbed my arm with a grip like iron. "Why did this bitch have to die?" she shrieked. "How dare she! All I did was try to shove that little monster back inside so her brother could come out first! How could she just d

On New Year's Eve, my wife finally agreed to let me join her childhood friends' party. But while I was lying in the lounge, dizzy from the drinks, something happened. My wife, who was never affectionate with me, threw herself into the arms of Xander Brooks. He had just returned to the country. "Xander, you're finally back. Do you know how much I've missed you?" "If it weren't for you, I never would have agreed to marry into the Sinclair family. Don't worry, I've kept myself pure for you all

1. I was born with a curse―my blood can cure any illness. In my last life, after I healed the paralyzed legs of Preston Sterling, the heir to the Sterling fortune, I learned of their family’s vow: whoever cured him would become his wife. Preston was forced to marry me. And Serena, the woman who claimed she climbed frozen cliffs for a mythical orchid to save him, was so devastated by the news that she reportedly fell from a mountain and was lost. A year later, Preston found Serena’s perfectl

1. Waking up in the morning, I instinctively grabbed my phone and tapped into the 'Eco-Life' app ― the very one we've been using to offset our carbon footprint. To my surprise, the virtual redwood tree representing our '5th wedding anniversary' had its entire week's oxygen points completely drained by my husband. A flash of anger went through me. I tapped on his profile to see what the hell he was doing and saw a new interaction on his feed. 【Berry Babe】gifted you 10 points and left a messag

"You all know how rough the market has been this year. To pull through these tough times together, the year-end bonuses are cut in half." The boss whined about hardships while wearing a brand-new green Rolex Submariner on his wrist. My two-hundred-thousand-dollar commission was slashed to seven hundred bucks, plus a cheap felt banner that read: "Outstanding Dedication Award." "Zachary, this banner carries immense value! It represents the company's highest recognition of your hard work!" "Don

1. On our ninth wedding anniversary, I had planned everything perfectly. On the terrace of our pre-war Upper East Side apartment, I arranged roses flown in from Monaco. I booked a private chef from the French restaurant where we had our first date. I wore the blush Valentino gown Sebastian once said he loved. At 8 p.m., Sebastian still wasn't home. At 9 p.m., I had sent him three texts. All were read, none were answered. At 10:30 p.m., the elevator doors finally opened. But it wasn't jus

After marrying Valerie, I earned a six-figure salary but lived like a beggar. She always said, "Babe, let's sacrifice now so we can achieve financial freedom sooner." My closet was full of ten-year-old suits, and my lunch was always clearance gas station sandwiches. Friends laughed, saying I married a penny-pincher, but I just felt bad that she was enduring hardships with me. Until I was dying of late-stage stomach cancer and needed surgery, and she cried, claiming all our money was locked i

Chapter 1 In our fifth year together, Landon Thorne went completely broke. When things were at their worst, we slept on park benches and scavenged discarded diner leftovers behind the market. I never left his side. I truly believed he would bounce back. On our hundredth day living in the park, I went to an underground clinic to sell my plasma. I used the cash to rush him to the hospital, praying with everything in me that he would recover. That was when Landon's gorgeous ex, Camille Foster,

1. Ten years ago, I sponsored a poor boy from a trailer park in West Virginia. Today, he’s Julian Gray, the biggest star in Hollywood. Tonight’s awards ceremony was being broadcast live across the country. I sat in the most obscure corner of the third-tier balcony at the Dolby Theatre, clapping for him from afar. The host mentioned his difficult yet miraculous rise to fame, asking if there was anyone special he wanted to thank for being there along the way. Julian gripped the heavy golden t

In my past life, my sister and I got married and pregnant at the exact same time. My husband was a hardworking, self-made man, while she married a gambling-addicted trust fund jerk. We gave birth on the exact same day. She had a healthy boy, while my baby was frail, severely deformed, and had an abnormally enlarged head. The doctors said he had congenital mental deficits and severe physical deformities, and wouldn't survive long. Tyler and I couldn't bear to let him go, pouring every penny

Chapter 1 Three years after my death, my husband once again used my name to take the fall for a criminal charge on behalf of his beloved muse, causing an uproar across the internet. Afterward, he brought a pre-written confession letter and pounded on the door of my old apartment. "Sonya Blake, do you have any idea how important this venture capital project is to Felicity? Her record cannot have a single blemish on it!" "Why are you so heartless? It is just some online backlash, and at worst,

1. The day I left the postpartum recovery center, Julian Vance came to pick me up. He brought my favorite red velvet cupcakes. And a divorce agreement drafted by his lawyer. There was no guilt on his face. "Audrey is coming back from overseas, so..." I glanced at the agreement: the company goes to the husband, and all other assets go to the wife and child. Perfect. Exactly what I wanted. But I still frowned, pretending to be upset. "Julian, we built this company from the ground up togethe

1 I met a pregnant woman at the hospital. During small talk, she mentioned her husband, David Wilson, a prominent CEO. Coincidentally, my husband is also named David Wilson, and he's a CEO too. Later, I asked David for a divorce. But then it hit me �C we were never legally married. It turned out I was the other woman all along. ...... "My husband's David Wilson, he's a big-shot CEO. He's crazy about me. When we got married, he bought me a whole private island!" The beautiful woman across from
