The Day My World Shattered

I stared at my phone screen, Frank River's reply burned my eyes: "Nona broke up, crying badly, I have to stay with her." "Today is my birthday!" I almost shouted. "Can you be more mature?" He was impatient, "I'll buy you a cake tomorrow, and transfer the money to you." Three hours later, I saw them on the street corner—Nona Sullivan buried in his neck, and he held her like something fragile, so gentle. "Sienna, listen to me explain—" he rushed over. "We're breaking up." My voice was as cold as ice. He froze, then growled low, "Don't mess with me! There's really nothing going on between me and her!" I turned and walked away. My phone rang; a stranger's...

Reborn as the Queen of Cuisine

I was killed by my husband, Leon Deer, and my assistant, Aurora Larsen, colluding together. They framed me using prepared dishes, stole my company, and cast me into a beggar's den. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the Kitchen God Competition. Aurora was begging me to cheat by using a cooking package. This time, I smiled and agreed. I watched as they crumbled, throwing the infidelity video right into Leon Deer's face. Reborn, I will make this treacherous couple pay dearly and protect those who truly love me.收起

His Success Dies With Me

The day I met Joseph Charles, he was like a stray dog crouching in the slum, clutching half a hardened bread, yet his eyes shone with astonishing brightness. He begged me for a scrap of food. I lifted him from the mud and personally shaped him into the radiant CEO of Charles Group. On my thirty-fifth birthday, he gave me a gilded gift box I had lingered to admire a month earlier at the boutique. I was deeply moved; he stroked my hair with a smile: "You're worth every penny." Suddenly, the phone screen lit up—the City Forum had pushed a post he had anonymously published. The title read: "Complaining about that old woman at home, who is past her...

I Saved Her, He Stole Her

"Joshua, let's get married in a month." Olivia Salazar rose on her tiptoes and kissed me. Her tears still stained my collar, burning hot like a vow. I didn't have time to answer before her phone rang. She turned away to answer, her voice barely above a whisper. "...Yes, the press conference will proceed as planned, but don't mention his name." My fingers froze mid-air, and my heart sank sharply. "Olivia, who were you speaking with?" She turned back, her gaze evasive: "Company matters. By the way, don't attend the press conference in person tomorrow." "Why?" "Because..." she took a deep breath. "I have an announcement to make, and it concerns Hans Scott." She didn't look at me. My throat...

Too Late to Regret

On the wedding day, my groom draped my wedding dress over his secretary's dying dog. He splashed red wine on me, burned the back of my hand, yet he did not know that I was already fatally ill. He stole the bone marrow meant to save my mother, forced me to crawl like a dog, and drove my mother to death from sheer anger. In the end, he shoved me into a coffin and arranged a ghost marriage for me. After I died, he dug open my grave and lay beside me, sacrificing himself in love.收起

Breaking a Marriage Scam

I resigned from my job to become a full-time housewife, yet my husband Mark Young forged reports claiming I was "infertile" and "HIV positive," scheming to leave me divorced without a penny.

The Lazier, The Luckier

After finding out my boyfriend cheated, I completely slacked off. My ex-boyfriend tried to sabotage my orders at the company but ended up crashing and burning; the other woman tried to slander me but got caught embezzling and went to jail. The more I quit the rat race, the luckier I got—promotions, raises, and I even met my true love. My ex-boyfriend begged for a second chance? I just smiled and linked arms with my new boyfriend: "Please come to my wedding."收起

He Took My Everything, So I Took His Son

"Larry Fraser, are you out of your mind?" Her voice shook, "You're just a waste who got out of a psychiatric hospital. How dare you make demands of me?" I leaned close to her ear, my voice barely above a whisper: "Three years ago, when you tampered with my parents' brakes, did you ever imagine this day would come?" Her pupils constricted sharply. "You... you have no proof!" I chuckled softly, my fingertips tracing the baby's cheek resting in her arms. "Proof? Tell me why Owen Locke agreed to help me get the signed agreement from you." Nova Jackson's face instantly drained of color, pale as paper. "What did you do to him?!" "What exactly do you want?" I leaned...

Never Underestimate an Heiress

I stayed up for three nights straight to grab a high-speed rail ticket on the festival, however being asked to give it to Abby by my boyfriend, Mathew Lutz. He knew I get motion sickness, yet casually told me to fight for an eight-hour standing ticket. It wasn't until the plane landed on the campus tarmac and Dr Ward respectfully called me "Miss Bolton" that my real identity as a rich heiress is released.收起

A Sacrifice to a Feud

The acrid smell of rust choked the warehouse as the scar-faced man jabbed an iron rod at Alex and me. "Call Mason—five million, or you die!" My knuckles whitened around my phone, my back throbbing from the blow I'd just taken. "I want to hear my dad's voice!" "Cut the crap!" He lashed out at Alex, but I threw myself in the way. "So you're Mason's kid, huh? Real protective of your brother." The call connected, and Mason's voice crackled through, sharp with irritation. "What is it this time?" The scar-faced brute snatched the phone and roared into it. "I've got your kids! Meet me at the old docks tomorrow—and don't even think about calling the cops, or you'll be...

The Other Woman Was My Best Friend

"Ralph Johnson, who are you holding?" He drunkenly buried his face in Lara Stafford's neck: "My wife." My fingers went cold. "Look carefully—I'm your wife, Monica Franco." He looked up, eyes cold and mocking. "Monica? What are you doing here?" Dead silence fell around us. My best friend, my husband, tore my life to shreds right in front of me. Lara Stafford went pale, trying to explain, but I cut her off: "We've known each other for ten years, and this is how you repay me?" She suddenly looked up, eyes sharp with venom: "You're always so high and mighty! I've had enough!" I glared at the cheating couple and pulled out my phone to play the video of them...

Never His First Choice

"From now on, I'll be there for every award you get." The spotlight hit my face, my phone vibrating in the pocket of my dress. "Heidi, Quinn's coffee shop just opened, I can't leave... I'll definitely make it up to you in a few days—" I cut him off: "You said you'd come." There was a three-second silence on the other end, then he sighed, "Don't make a fuss, Heidi. Awards happen every year, but the opening of Quinn's coffee shop only happens once." The call was cut off. I opened my phone—he'd posted a video three minutes ago, playing the guitar, with Quinn Furr leaning on his shoulder. The caption read: "Always here to support my girl Quinn. Congrats...

The Fatal Needle

At the very moment my mother-in-law breathed her last, it felt as if a syringe filled with icy insulin had been plunged into my chest, the cold arresting my heart instantly. Clutching the empty medicine bottle, I overheard my husband in the corridor telling the doctor, "Five hundred thousand; hurry up and remove the body." The old man at the morgue handed me the ashes in the wrong box, then chuckled awkwardly, "It's mixed up, just make do." Staring at the unfamiliar name engraved on the bottom of the box, I suddenly understood—not only was my mother-in-law cremated, but so too was my marriage. Whoever tampered with her life, I shall demand they personally carry back her soul.收起

The Final Curtain

The pagoda tree flowers at the alley entrance had fallen. I squatted down, wanting to pick them up, when Chris crushed them under his foot. "Childish," he said. "Mind your own business?" I stuffed the petals into my schoolbag, yet he silently followed behind me. Who would have thought that this person, who had argued with me ever since we were kids, would turn 18, his ears flushed red, and say, "My mom asked if you'd be willing to get engaged." After we got married, the tomato noodles he'd cooked were still warm when I came home with a braised pork knuckle. But I heard Whitney's voice: "Chris, when are you going to tell her the truth?" When Chris saw...

My Love, Her Prize

The diagnosis paper trembles in my hand. "Late-stage stomach cancer" those three words stab like an ice pick into my eyes. With trembling hands, I called Caleb Elliott. My voice was hoarse, unlike myself: "Caleb, I need money. I need treatment immediately..." "Funds are tied up right now. Just wait." I didn't call again; I went straight to the company. Pushing open the door to the finance office, my voice was weak: "I need to withdraw a sum of money. It's urgent." The finance director looked up at me, her gaze evasive. "Mrs. Woods... Mr. Elliott just withdrew a considerable amount in your name. He said it was your instruction." I caught my breath. "How much?" She gave me a...

My Dead Friend's Whisper

I will never forget that gloomy exam room. The rustling sound of my pen gliding across the test paper was like countless ants gnawing at my heart. "Linda, watch out for Raymond! He'll kill you, and Young too, and Rachel!" I suddenly heard Nancy's soft yet piercingly cold voice. I jerked my head up, but the surrounding area was deathly silent. "Who's there? Who was talking?!" Just then, Raymond, who was sitting in front of me, slightly turned his body, and a slip of paper quietly fell to the ground. My heart contracted sharply—there was actually a thin layer of hoarfrost forming along the edges of that slip of paper! "Raymond! You want to kill me!" I screamed and stood...

Three Lifetimes to Escape His Obsession

"I mean," he stood, "I want both of you." I snapped my head up. "You're crazy!" He let out a low laugh. "In three days, the three of us will be married." He rose like a man passing a death sentence. "Don't even think about running. Your parents' lives, the company's debts—they're all in my grip." Olivia Jordan collapsed onto the sofa. "Nancy," she gripped me, "are we... going to die again?" I met her desperate gaze. "No." My voice was cold as I said, "This time, he...

"Finlay Crystal, congratulations! With a 1 billion order, the company has decided to reward you with 8 million and promote you to Technical Director next week!" But three days later, the finance department doused me with a bucket of cold water: "Your bonus was taken by Hector Xavier, personally signed off by Mr. Zimmerman." I stormed into Mr. Zimmerman's office: "He hasn't even touched the core code, so on what grounds?" "This is the company's decision." He avoided my gaze and said, "Hector Xavier has more potential." The HR notice was even harsher: "Effective immediately, you are transferred to the Logistics Department to handle cleaning duties." "Cleaner?" I almost laughed out loud, "You mean you want me to clean toilets?"...

The Journey of Self-Healing

Cindy kicked the door open. "Sarah, Alex and I have been together for a long time already. This is the couple necklace he gave me." She flicked the chain around her neck, her tone arrogant and ostentatious. I slammed the payment receipt down on the table. "He told me he was short on cash and skipped our second anniversary gift—so he spent all that money on you instead?" "He helped me get clues during the murder mystery game. That proves he has me in his heart. You're just his past now." Alex burst in and pulled her away. "Sarah, don't believe her. She's the one who's been clinging to me!" I grabbed him by the collar.

The Halloween Prank

I was reincarnated back to the night before Halloween; my elder brother and sister-in-law were about to dress up as ghosts to scare our upstairs neighbor, who suffers from a heart condition. I desperately tried to stop them but was scolded for spoiling the fun. In the previous life, the elderly man was scared to death, my brother and sister-in-law divorced, and after my brother lost at gambling, he sold me to human traffickers. This time, I secretly made a recording and informed the elderly man's son. The tragedy repeated itself, and I handed over the recording, which sent them to prison. Unexpectedly, this exposed my sister-in-law's identity as a spy.收起

No, I won't let history repeat itself! "Lydia, are you really sure about this?" My father Samuel's voice was laced with worry—he knew full well what it would mean to break off from the N Fortress. I clenched my fists, a determined glint flashing in my eyes. "Dad, we can't let them use us anymore. I died such a terrible death in my last life; this time, I'm going to make them pay!" "But the strength of N Fortress..." My father trailed off, unable to...

The twelfth layer of lace on my wedding gown had just swept across the red carpet when I saw her enter—wearing the identical mist-blue bridesmaid dress, down to the diamond brooch pinned to her chest, indistinguishable from mine. She shook the microphone at me, smiling innocently, "Tina, do I look like you?" I turned my head toward the groom beside me; his Adam's apple bobbed, yet he couldn't utter a single word in my defense. What I had believed to be a fairy tale was merely a shadow cast by the three of us. So, I lifted my hemline and, in front of all the guests, turned toward the side door—I would not be marrying today; the story was only...

The Perfect Husband's Double Life

"Let's get a divorce." I slammed the agreement down in front of Travis Stern, and the living room went dead silent. Mrs. Stern rushed over, digging her nails into my flesh: "You're so ungrateful! If it weren't for Travis saving you, you'd be dead already!" He sat in his wheelchair, eyes bloodshot as he looked at me: "Linda James, I'm disabled now. Are you ashamed of me?" Watching his act, all I felt inside was a cold emptiness. "Cut the act. When you swerved the wheel toward me during the crash, did you really want to save me?"

On the second day of the New Year, at five o'clock in the morning, I knelt in the kitchen wiping the stove, the smoke from the grease stinging my eyes until tears welled up. The doorbell rang, and a dozen relatives poured in; the father-in-law's first words were, "It has been three years, why is there still no sign of a child in your womb?" My hand trembled as I held the fruit; oranges rolled across the floor, much like my dignity. My husband lowered his head, scrolling through his phone, avoiding my pleading gaze. At that moment, I resolved never again to treat my womb as a means of atonement.收起

Patient: Ruby Salk, my best friend of twelve years. Family member's signature: Adam Goldberg, my fiancé, my groom at our wedding next month. My phone rang—his exclusive ringtone.

The moment Caleb convulsed, I scooped him up and bolted downstairs, dialing Mark's number almost yelling into the phone. "Caleb's having a seizure again! Hurry to the City First Hospital!" The noise of an amusement park blared from the other end, his voice sharp and grating. "What's all the fuss about? It's not like it's the first time. Handle it yourself." "He's dying! He might need to be admitted to the ICU!" My legs were shaking violently. "Are you coming or not?" "Can't leave! I'm wining and dining Ms. Clark—this deal will net us a fortune!" His tone was matter-of-fact. "The hospital has doctors. Pay the fees first." "I don't have that much money! Mark, he's your son!" "You're so...

Beneath the Perfect Marriage

Estelle River stood under the flashing police lights, his voice trembling but clear: "My father used illegal methods to cause the deaths of Yolanda Harper's parents." He knelt at my feet, eyes red, swearing, "Yolanda, from now on, I will protect you for life." Seven years later, on our wedding anniversary, he sounded impatient on the phone: "Working late. Let's do it another day." But the news photos showed him with the intern Lena Jackson, standing outside a luxury boutique. "Estelle, where are you?" "At the company. What are you doubting now?" "I saw the photo." He was silent for a few seconds, then let out a cold sneer: "Yolanda, do you really want to tear everything apart? Do you...

Back in Control

I clutched the revised seating chart, kicked open the door to Philip's office, and snapped, "Why did you give my reserved seat to Sophia?" He didn't even look up. "Sophia said the investors need to coordinate with her—business comes first." "Business?" I slammed the paper down on his desk. "You promised we'd sit together at every annual gala. Did that promise count for nothing?" "Circumstances have changed," he frowned. "Don't be childish. It'll jeopardize the financing." "Childish?" I let out a cold laugh. "The way you talk to her is way more affectionate than you've ever been with me." The door swung open, and Sophia sauntered in with a provocative smile. "Rachel, I asked for that seat. After all, Philip...

Be a Queen, Not a Princess

A few days ago, Chris whispered in my ear, "Natalie Lynn, we'll get engaged early next month, and I'll dote on you like a real princess." But in the very next second, he walked through the crowd holding a bouquet of white roses, knelt down on one knee in front of Mindy, his voice humble to the dust: "Mindy, I've waited for you for five years. Marry me." The whispers around me were like poisonous needles piercing my eardrums. I gripped the wine glass tightly, my knuckles turning white: "Chris, have you forgotten our three years of companionship? Have you forgotten the tree you planted with your own hands?" He turned to look at me, his eyes filled with no...

Taking Back What's Mine

The disinfectant stings like an ice pick, rousing me from the nightmare of lying on this white hospital bed for the tenth time in half a year. I stare at the ceiling, hearing the door softly turn open—it is him, dressed in a suit, carrying "apologies" in his hand. I clutch the bedsheet tightly, sneering coldly within: This time, I will no longer be the prey. In the next moment, I whisper: "Mark Collins, let us divorce." The words fall like stones; his mask of gentleness shatters instantly, and I, at last, have lit the fuse of my counterattack with my own hand.收起

Goodbye to the Cheater

My fingers gripping the plane ticket went white from the pressure. I was so excited to surprise him, only to walk right into a horrible scene—the woman in a sexy nightdress coming out of the bedroom, red lace lingerie all tangled. He was even covering for her and told me to go stay at a hotel. At that moment, heartbreak and anger tangled inside me. I knew this relationship was over...收起

The Mother Talks

I, the proud chairman of the shopping mall, was actually called out in public by an intern from our very own M Milk Tea Shop—accused right to my face—"Poor, shabby mother and daughter stealing milk tea!" She had no idea that the diamond necklace around her neck, engraved with my initials, was the very same one that disappeared without a trace from the changing room last month. My daughter clutched the coins she'd received as change, her eyes red as she whispered, "Mom, I already paid for it..." Swallowing the fury boiling inside me, I sneered coldly—today, if she doesn't apologize through tears, she will regret it!收起

The King of Hell's Fated Rival

My longtime mortal enemy in J City and I have been at each other's throats all our lives. Then, suddenly, he proposes a suicide pact! Against my instincts, I agree—only to see him coldly watching as I near death. It was all a cruel lie! Now I'm a restless ghost, witnessing him search for a stand-in and dig up my grave. How can I swallow this venomous betrayal?收起
