Everyone in the Manhattan elite knew Xavier Sterling was a cold, celibate god. They also knew he loved me more than his own life. He built a glass penthouse atop the Sterling Plaza just for me. Every day, he would hold me against the floor-to-ceiling windows, making love to me with a desperate intensity. But no one knew that the woman against the glass was nothing more than a "living prop." In our one year of marriage, he brought home a different woman every night. As I watched him press his

1. Seven years of marriage. My husband ran from our wedding thirteen times. The first time, his personal assistant sprained her ankle. I stood alone under the flower arch, waiting from sunset until midnight. The second time, she had a migraine. He left the ring box on the altar and walked away. After that, every single time we set a wedding date, something happened to her. Food poisoning. Anxiety attack. A leak in her apartment. Thirteen times. Every single one. After the thirteenth, I fina

Five years of marriage, and my husband's secretary, Kinsley Reed, just posted a screenshot on Instagram. It showed a bank transfer for $52,131.40. Her caption read: "When your boss is this generous, work is just so sweet! #Blessed" I left a simple comment telling her to focus on her work. Seconds later, I realized she had blocked me. Then, my husband's name flashed on my screen. He didn't even say hello before he started screaming. "I just gave her an early bonus for her birthday! Why the he

On Christmas Eve, my husband threw me out of the house. I begged and cried at the doors of my three children, but none of them opened. I froze to death in the snow that night. I knew they hated me. They hated that I was an uneducated country woman who embarrassed them. My husband hated me too. He hated that I married him when he was at his lowest, seeing me as a stain on his life. My in-laws hated me most of all. They blamed me for staying in the marriage and preventing their son from reunit

After I successfully completed my mission, I married the man I was supposed to win over. On our wedding night, I confessed a secret to him. I told him the System had given me ninety-nine Regret Pills. Every time he did something to betray me, I would take one. Once the pills were gone, I would vanish from his world forever. He pulled me into his arms, his heart aching for me, and swore he'd never let me regret a single day. But three months into our marriage, his childhood sweetheart retur

1. "Vivian, we need to finalize the marriage arrangement with the Grant heir. Now that you have recovered, are you ready to return to New York to complete this marriage? "If you're not willing, I can talk to them again, maybe call the whole thing off." In the dimly lit room, Vivian was silent. Just as her mother on the other end of the line thought she'd failed to persuade her again, Vivian suddenly spoke. "I'm willing to come back and get married." Mrs. Palmer was stunned, completely caugh

Eight years into my marriage with Kendra, we finally finished the scripted plot. I thought I could finally be free from the System and truly build a life with her. Then I overheard her talking to our daughter: “The script is done! We can finally get rid of your father!” Our daughter replied, “Yay, Mommy! Now we can be with Uncle Colton every day!” Right then, the System notified me that a glitch had surfaced―one final plot point remained unfinished. Suddenly, I just felt exhausted. I didn’t

After five years of breaking up and making out with Miles because of Daisy, I was exhausted. I chose Caleb, the boy who had grown up next door and had always stayed by my side.

But right after we submitted our marriage application to the local registrar, I found a stack of letters. They were letters Caleb had written to Daisy. They were a detailed record of how dee

In my last life, my own sister killed me with a hammer. As I bled out on the living room floor, I finally realized something. My thirty-one years of life had been nothing but a stepping stone for her. I was just the "responsible child" my mother raised to clean up her messes. The second I opened my eyes in this new life, my phone buzzed with a call from "Elara." She told me excitedly that she had just undergone a surgery to ensure her marriage into the Grant family. I listened, a cold smil

Chapter 1 On the day we were supposed to get our marriage license, Caleb's little favorite, Nina, humiliated me. She accused me of being a home-wrecker and tried to rip my clothes off right on the street. Afterward, she just gave a playful giggle and said she was only trying to liven up the atmosphere. Caleb stroked her hair with an affectionate smile. "Stop it, or your sister-in-law will actually get mad," he said. Nina leaned into his chest shyly and looked at me, whispering softly. "It

1 Because my childhood sweetheart married me, her one true love killed himself. For thirty years of marriage, our most frequent blessing to each other was, "May you die a horrible death."

I managed to drag her back home, then plunged a knife into her heart, ensuring she'd join me in hell. But as I lay dying, I heard her stopping

I was working at a high-end language center when a new kid joined my class. While we were chatting, he bragged that his mom was the famous superstar, Seraphina Rossi. He said she was gorgeous and incredibly wealthy. What a coincidence. My wife of seven years is also named Seraphina Rossi, and she is also a superstar. I contacted her immediately to demand a divorce. But I had forgotten something crucial. From the very beginning, we never actually signed the marriage papers. It turned out th

At our Thanksgiving family dinner, Bennett brewed a mug of hot spiced ginger tea specifically for his stepsister. This time, I didn't hold back. I smashed the cup onto the floor and demanded a divorce. Bennett didn't know whether to laugh or get angry. "Over a cup of tea?" "Yes." "Fine. Don't come crying back when you regret it." We had been together for four years and married for two, yet his stepsister Cadence's shadow hung over every single corner of my life. She was there on our dates

1. Four years into our marriage, my husband Ethan and I were finally successful with IVF. Just as I was about to tell him the news, I found him in a suit at another wedding―only this time, the bride wasn't me. To make it all worse, my doctor later told me the baby inside me wasn't mine. Ethan shielded the other woman behind him. "Amy, let me explain... Chloe is dying. This is just a formality, a wedding to check off her bucket list―" I went home, tore our marriage certificate to shreds, and

My wife suddenly told me to check her Instagram story. It was a bold, public confession to her childhood best friend: "You were once the dream I could never reach. Now, my sweetest dream has finally come true." I glanced at the clock on the wall. It was just past midnight, marking our exact sixth wedding anniversary. I texted her: "Did it really have to be today?" She replied instantly: "Of course. He only gets happy when you are miserable." Happy? Then I was going to make sure everyone s

I funded Jenna Rivers for five years, and for five years, I was her most devoted lapdog. Just when I thought I had finally melted her icy heart and that she was ready to spend the rest of her life with me, I realized the truth. She had always been in love with her childhood best friend, Hunter Cross, who had been by her side since they were kids. In her eyes, I was nothing more than a wealthy tyrant who used money to grind her dignity into the dirt. A few years into our marriage, she secretl

I was brutally violated by a gang of thugs years ago just to save Gavin. He promised to marry me and cherish me forever. Yet in our three years of marriage, he never once touched me in bed.
