The Premium Member

I was returning home with core scientific research achievements, but in first class of the plane, I was confronted by an arrogant wealthy heir who forcibly took my seat and was further harassed by a flight attendant who sided with him, even threatening to have me removed from the airplane. I firmly defended my case, but the wealthy heir tried to expose my personal information and even attempted to snatch the briefcase containing important documents. At the critical moment, embassy personnel arrived, causing the wealthy heir and his father to finally panic...收起

Not the Abandoned, But the Queen

I, Viola Lincoln, a happily pregnant woman who believed she had married for love, am five months along and eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new life. At one in the morning, an anonymous message struck like an icy arrow: "Does one bear responsibility for secretly dating someone behind a pregnant wife's back?" Shortly after, the pharmacy called to inform me that my husband, Kevin Carter, had purchased condoms and other items without paying. Reviewing the surveillance footage, the woman he was holding hands with was none other than my sister-in-law, Sunny Scott! I was stunned, as if struck by lightning—turns out the one asking was my own husband...收起

Her Childhood Friend Ruined Our Big Day

Today's my wedding day, and just as the car convoy rolled up downstairs, those guys blocked the way. Toby was smoking a cigarette right at the front, with bamboo poles crisscrossed all over behind him. "Want to get through? Easy." He flicked the ash, flashing a cocky grin, "One million each, cash upfront." Trying to keep my cool, I called Juliette: "Listen to this—is this a wedding or an extortion scam?" After a few seconds of silence, her light, airy voice came through: "Jon, don't be such a downer. This is just... testing how much you love me." "A test?" I laughed bitterly, "Juliette, what the hell are you and him—" Before I could finish, she hung up. Toby's harsh...

The Girl Within the Wall

I was shoved into the concrete compartment by them. Huddled in the gap of the compartment, concrete scraps dug into my palms, and I trembled with pain. In my ears came Leo's drunk roar: "Where is Wendy? Where have you hidden her!" "Leo," Jim's voice was laced with a sneer, "Your wife—she must have been long dead by now, right?" "When she was dragged away, she was just like a stray dog." "Bullsh*t!" Leo's fist slammed against the wall. "How dare you touch her—" Vivian let out a scoff. "Leo, that little deaf girl you protected back then—she can never hear you speak again now, can she?" Leo's furious shout made the concrete compartment rustle with falling dust. "If she's...

A Good Ex

The bedroom was filled with labored breaths, accompanied by Yvonne's sultry question: "Ben, once you land those projects from the Scott Group, you'll marry me, won't you?" "Of course. After we've drained every bit of value from the Scott family, that fool Wendy will be worthless." My fingers went white gripping the divorce agreement as I pushed the door open; their panicked expressions were utterly ridiculous. "Sign." "You knew all along? Fine, that saves me the trouble." When news of the divorce arrived, My Dad collapsed on the spot from a heart attack. Outside the operating room, I called Ben's phone, only to be met with the cold, mechanical voice saying it was turned off. Five hours later, the doctor...

Her Second Sun

During lunch break, a hot search popped up on my phone: "Is it wrong to fall in love with someone who's already married?" I sneered, fingers scrolling, then suddenly froze— That name, Victoria Lowell, stabbed into my eyes like a poisoned knife. "Stella, you lost." Three years ago, on that rainy night, she leaned close to my ear, her breath burning, "Ryan Sterling is mine. Everything you have is mine now." I clenched my fists, nails digging into my skin. "You'll regret this." She laughed even more recklessly: "Regret? Look who's left with nothing now."收起

My Husband's Double Standard

I was kneeling on the floor wiping for the third time when Jeremy Chester called. "The disinfectant concentration at the entrance is off. Spray again." A soft, playful laugh came from the phone's background. My fingers stiffened. Half an hour later, in his car, I found a used condom and smelled a sweet perfume I'd never worn. The next day, I went to the company to confront him. When I pushed open the office door, he and his secretary, Susanna Houston, were disheveled. He snapped, "What are you doing?! Who told you to come in without sterile clothes?!" I tossed the used condom right in front of him. He frowned instantly, backing away: "Get that disgusting thing away from me!"...

My Wife Is So Cool

It was the fifth year after graduation; I thought I'd live my life like this. That early morning, my mobile phone suddenly lit up, and a message pierced my eyes like a sharp blade—it was Yvonne Jones, my ex-girlfriend whom I had long blocked but who always found ways to contact me. She arrogantly invited me to her father-in-law's sixtieth birthday banquet, her words laced with mockery and condescension. I thought I could just laugh it off, but I never expected that this banquet would become the most humiliating and turning point of my life...收起

The Broken Marriage

At the welcome banquet, I was holding my daughter Ann's hand as I pushed open the door, and immediately heard Mr. Green's secretary say in a sweet, delicate voice, "That time with the drugging, it was all thanks to Mr. Green." Five-year-old Ann looked up and asked, "Mom, what does drugging mean?" Laughter erupted around the table. My fingertips went numb as I gritted my teeth and shoved the divorce agreement into my bag. Finn Green reached out to hug Ann, but I took a half step back and quietly told her, "From now on, call him 'Mr. Green.'" In that moment, I knew this marriage was nothing but ashes, and I would walk out of the fire carrying my...

Bounty for Broken Bonds

My own mother Paris Fey stole my life-saving money to give to my brother James Waltz, and I overheard her plan to profit from a posthumous marriage after I die. In despair, I bound a cut-off family ties system: the more they hurt me, the more I profit after I expose them. So, I watched them go crazy over money, end up in prison, even lose their lives. It turned out that cutting off these bloodsucking family ties was the fastest way for me to rise and become wealthy.收起

My Best Friend's Betrayal

On the grand opening day of my restaurant, my best female friend and fiancé handed me a "consultation fee" bill for 500,000. I smiled and accepted it, then handed back a dining bill for 1,280,000. "The 1982 Comte de Champagne was opened by your own hands, and the imported Wagyu beef was your specific request." Watching their faces change abruptly, I gently swirled my wine glass. This play has only just begun.收起

I Saved My Parents with Lottery Winnings

I stand in the cold, sterile corridor of the City Hospital, the pungent smell of disinfectant burning my nose, clutching my parents' pathology reports, my heart sinking into the abyss of despair. In my previous life, my parents died from illness, and I was reduced to a wealthy man's canary, subjected to endless humiliation, while my younger sister squandered the money meant to save their lives and even caused my death. Reborn, I discovered that my parents, too, have returned with their memories intact; together, we resolve to defy our doomed fate...收起

New Life at Sixty

The sun on my 60th birthday scorched the back of my neck, yet the cancer diagnosis in my hand felt icy enough to pierce my bones. I slapped the diagnosis onto the dining table and stared at Robert, who was rubbing his mahjong tiles across from me. "I have cancer—late stage," I said. He didn't even look up, his tone irritable. "How much will treatment cost? We can't touch the money for the kids' down payment on a house." My chest tightened, and my voice trembled. "The doctor said treatment is pointless. All I ask is a decent urn for my ashes after I'm gone." He finally lifted his head, his eyes filled with calculation. "Urns are expensive too. Let's...

The Dead Bride's Counterattack

I clutched the diagnosis in my hand, the word "irreversible" pricking like a needle. Pushing the door open, I saw Lydia hanging on Bruce's arm, her red dress blazing with a blinding glare. "Bruce, why keep this deaf girl around? She's a waste of money and an eyesore." Bruce shot me a cold glance, his tone frosty. "Nancy, if you want the foundation's money for treatment, you'd better behave." "I didn't do anything wrong," I tightened my fists. Lydia suddenly lunged at me, sending my medicine bottle crashing to the floor. "Nothing wrong? Your very existence is a mistake! A deaf useless thing like you—how dare you take Bruce's resources?" Bruce stepped on the scattered pills, sneering. "Whether your funding...

Seven Years of Unrequited Love

I tore apart the hundredth love letter, the pieces scattering like my heart across his polished leather shoes. "Cameron Lopez, from now on, I won't bother you anymore." He sneered coldly, "Seven years, and you keep repeating the same act. Don't you think you're painfully boring?" "Yeah, boring." Tears, mingled with rain, streamed down my face as I turned away. But when Seth Fraser showed up with breakfast, Cameron Lopez went insane, pinning me against the corner of the wall: "Who gave you permission to accept his ring?" I looked into his bloodshot eyes and suddenly laughed, "Cameron, are you jealous?" He came closer, breathing heavily, the panic behind his gold-rimmed glasses unlike anything I'd ever seen.

In All the Right Places

One moment, I lay on the sickbed, suffocating under the weight, the monitor flatlining; the next, champagne roused me—I had returned to my nemesis's debut party. Draped in a silver gown cinched at the waist, standing 178cm tall and weighing 52kg, I remained the premier supermodel. She held out a matcha mousse with a smile, yet in her eyes I saw myself from the previous life, cursed to become a swine. With that bite, she consumed not cake, but the ticking countdown of retribution. I raised my glass and declared to the assembly: Welcome to witness Daisy Shaw's grand revenge debut.收起

I sit alone in the pitch-black living room, my right eye aching faintly from an old wound. The clock on the wall ticks, as if mocking my nine years of devoted waiting.

It wasn't until the psychiatric hospital called that I realized the truly terrifying thing wasn't his illness, but the demons lurking in the shadows who exploit vulnerable patients as mere pawns in their schemes...收起

Late to Protect Her

"Idiot, hurry up and pack!" Brian's leather shoe slammed down right next to my feet. I drooled and giggled foolishly: "Y-yes... yes..." The tiny camera hidden in my cuff was burning hot. I was Sophia, an undercover journalist infiltrating the illegal factory, disguised as Hannah, a mentally challenged woman. Late at night, a sob came from the back door of the warehouse. Brian was yanking at Lydia, the "crazy girl", sneering: "Even a lunatic has her uses!" Lydia suddenly stopped struggling, her eyes sharp and clear, terrifyingly so: "Let me go!" Brian punched her hard in the head. Blood streamed down. But she lifted a finger to point at me, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth: "Take a...

Kevin Lewis clamped his fingers around my chin, his breath reeking of alcohol and sarcasm as he snarled in my ear: "Jennifer, a fatherless person—what makes you think you're worthy of clinging to the Lewis Family?" I struggled, gritting my teeth: "My mom begged you to take care of me on her deathbed. You can't treat me like this!" He scoffed and let go. The photos scattered all over the floor. "Your mother was a woman with a messy private life. Who even knows where you came from? Is this the 'dignity' she asked me to preserve for you?" Olivia linked her arm through his, simpering to add insult to injury: "Kevin, don't waste your time on this liar. She's...

"Beth, did you get it?" Yves' voice was hoarse but familiar, "Don't go to the wedding." I traced the edge of the invitation. "What, are you afraid I'll cause a scene?" "I'm afraid you'll get hurt." He paused for a moment. "Do you still have that note...?" "I threw it away a long time ago." I sneered, "Just like you left me behind back then." The sound of a lighter clicked on the other end of the line. "What if I told you the car accident back then wasn't an...

On Christmas Eve, I sat in the corner of the dining table, watching the man I had secretly loved for three years—my brother, Miles Fisher. We had a secret romance that lasted three years; he used to be my favorite man. "Laura," he said softly, approaching with a bowl of meat, his voice still gentle, though it churned my stomach like a storm. "You used to love eating this the most." "No need, I don't like it anymore." After saying this, I turned away and poured it out. His face darkened. "Pick it up and eat it!" It was as if I could hear the caregivers' orders echoing inside the asylum once more. I knelt beside the trash can, swallowing...

However, thinking of how David had taken meticulous care of my mother when she was critically ill, my heart softened in the end, and I agreed to his proposal. During our honeymoon, David and I went scuba diving together. Before we descended into the sea, he held my hand tightly and said, "Don't worry. I'm here."

Clutching my maternity bag, I signed the consent form for a C-section alone; the cold light of the operating room mirrored his chilling words last night: "Don't overthink it." The instant the child cried, I decided—to sever not only the placenta but this entire marriage. Later, I donated the fifty thousand I received to the welfare home, letting the money born of betrayal accumulate virtue for my daughter. Three years later, Leo Clark was released and begged me to remarry him; my daughter, nestled in Hector Jones's arms, babbled, "This man is dirty, we don't...

"So you wanted to poison me and swallow my shares?" Her face froze. I pulled out the needle, and drops of blood splattered onto the bedsheet.

I raised my glass with a smile, but inside I thought: It's time to end this. Suddenly, his white-clad first love stormed in, handing me a diagnosis of "mental illness." I smashed the wine bottle in one swift motion; each shard of glass glittered like a warning— Tonight, who is truly the mad one?收起

The Poolside Decision

The day I discovered I was pregnant, the trending topics showed a photo of my husband kissing another woman. He said it was a misunderstanding, yet he publicly defended her, leaving me to miscarry by the swimming pool. I tore up all the love letters and signed the divorce papers. Later, his eyes reddened as he begged to reconcile, but I had already remarried and had a daughter. He now seemed like a stranger to me.收起

Love Broken on Valentine's Day

On Valentine's Day, I had booked Calvin River's favorite Western-style restaurant a full two weeks in advance. In the flickering candlelight, I saw through the window him gently cutting steak for his "female friend" Charlotte Sue. The message on his phone saying "Working late until ten tonight" was still burning on my fingertips. When I rushed in, he frowned and said, "Georgina, don't be so petty." That moment, I finally understood — our three years together were nothing but a carefully staged drama for three.收起

A Love Called Retribution

My husband cheated with a foot massage therapist. I paid her to leave, but she knelt on the ground, crying, confessing she was pregnant. He forced me to have an abortion for that unborn child, even using a baseball bat to kill the fetus inside me with his own hands. After the divorce, I fled far away, while he went bankrupt and died miserably. Years later, I remarried and had a child, finally understanding that retribution is never late.收起

That Parrot Made My Fiancée a Monster

"Help me, it hurts so much!" The moment the parrot cried out in a woman's voice, I knew there's something wrong with this house. Jasmine Sanchez clutched my arm tightly, her voice trembling: "We can't call the police! We're getting married next month; we can't let the house depreciate." Reluctantly, I started chiseling as she said. A putrid smell overwhelmed me; inside the plastic film was wrapped a female corpse. She sobbed, "I'm pregnant... Let's bury it and pretend none of this ever happened." But when she reported me to the police, accusing me of "murder and burying a body," I simply laughed. "Sir, I'll confess everything—this was all my design."收起

The Campus Idol

My name's Sabrina Shaw, heiress to the Shaw Family in City A—but because of my terrible gambling addiction, I got "exiled" to City S. I thought this would be a rough, humiliating time trying to quit gambling, until I met Harvey Lancaster at university. He was clean, innocent, wouldn't even spend money on a cup of milk tea—but somehow, he made my heart race. I chased him, spoiled him, thinking this was the story of true love finally showing up. Until I heard him with my own ears in that smoky clubhouse, telling someone: "Sabrina Shaw? She's just a sucker who's easy to fool."收起

The Recording Under My Bed

"Sophia, is this what your daily life with Luke is usually like?" Sarah, who claimed to be Luke's good friend, spoke with undisguised malice in her tone. Before I could even respond, she played that private audio recording from our wedding night—one that was supposed to be only between the two of us. "Guess where I recorded this? Right under the bed in your bedroom!" She laughed triumphantly. "Hiding under the bed to record something like this—this is what you call a friend?" I stared at Luke, but he averted his gaze, daring not to meet my eyes at all. Luke grabbed my wrist abruptly: "Sophia, stop making a mountain out of a molehill. Sarah doesn't mean any harm. Can...

I Chose His Rival Over Him

At the engagement banquet, I wore an ivory evening gown, my heart full of joy—only to receive the news that my fiance had postponed the ceremony for another woman. That woman has "depression," a reason he's used twelve times! Watching his flustered figure disappear, my heart turned to ashes. I turned toward the man with the commanding presence in the corner: "I don't want my fiance anymore. Now, how about you start a romance with me?"收起

To Love, To Poison

Three months later, clutching the medical exam report that read "Reproductive Function Restored," my hands trembled. The weight that had been pressing on my heart for half a year was finally lifted. My phone buzzed. In the family group chat, my wife, Clara Hassan, posted a photo of a pregnancy test: "Baby on the way! Can't wait to meet our baby!" My blood ran cold. A private screenshot message followed immediately—transfer of 8.88 million, recipient: Wayne Sheen. Wayne Sheen, the "nutritionist" she introduced to come to our home to treat me. I stormed into the bedroom, holding my phone up in front of her. "8.88 million? Does a nutritionist really deserve that much?" She stopped applying lipstick, her smile frozen at...

My Husband's Final Lie

On the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I got a call from the traffic police telling me my husband had died in a car accident. I clutched the cell phone and collapsed to the floor; the cracks on the screen looked just like my suddenly shattered heart. Until I heard an unsent voice message on his phone: "Sorry, Sabrina, I can't spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you." And the baby inside me suddenly stirred gently. A voice echoed in my mind: "Mom, he's lying to you."收起
