An Eighteen-Year Obsession

This morning, I picked up his freshly changed shirt beside the toilet—a lipstick stain on the nape, like blood. In twenty years, he always stripped naked just to use the bathroom; now, he was neatly dressed, only to conceal that kiss mark. At our son's entrance banquet, I raised my glass to him: "Leo Jones, let's get a divorce." The room erupted in shock. His face turned as pale as paper; I smiled like a bride. From this moment on, I want him to remember—habits can change, but betrayal must be repaid.收起

Marriage Contract with My Rival

The glare of the crystal chandelier was so harsh that I couldn't open my eyes. My parents sat across from me, their tone carrying an undeniable sense of coercion: "The Lynn Family is going to fall apart. You must get engaged to Caleb Lopez!" I stood up abruptly, my fingertips white from clutching tightly: "Let me get engaged to that lifelong rival of mine? Impossible!" "Impossible or not, it has to be done!" My mother, her eyes reddened, slammed her hand on the table. "The Lopez Family is our only lifeline!" The next day, at a western restaurant, Caleb sat opposite me, a usual sneer playing on his lips: "Stacy, so there comes a day when you have to beg...

I Rose to Fame with Secret Recipes

The phone jolted suddenly. I unlocked it, and the screen showed a photo of the master bedroom bed—Mason's arm was wrapped around Stacy. My husband. My younger sister. "Sis, Mason told me long ago that he's put up with you for far too long." Stacy's voice note popped up abruptly, her tone spoiled and triumphant. "You've held the title of Mrs. Mason for ten years. That's more than enough." I dialed Mason's number. "Mason, you disgust me." There was a two-second silence on his end. Then, a sneer came through. "Lydia, stop putting on an act. If it weren't for your grandmother's recipe, I would've divorced you a long time ago." "The recipe? You've been plotting against me all this...

My Wife Killed My Brother

The first time I met Yvonne Lawrence was in an alley drenched by a torrential downpour. Her white dress was soaked through, like a shattered gardenia. I was pinned to the ground and beaten by thugs, but she swung a bottle and smashed one of their heads. Later, she came to me dragging her suitcase and said, "Felix Zimmerman, from now on, I'll protect you." I believed her, never imagining that her way of protecting me involved secretly having children with another man, and even personally pulling out my younger brother's oxygen tube.收起

The Message Before Marriage

Seven days before my wedding, I accidentally saw messages from my fiancée on my childhood friend's phone. When I confronted her, my fiancée acted as if nothing was wrong and was still joking with me. I followed them to a hotel and caught them intimately on bed. Seething with rage, I threw away the engagement ring, canceled the wedding, and severed all ties with them both...收起

The Scorching Sun, the Cold Heart

I used to believe marriage was a refuge, until that sweltering midsummer afternoon at 46 degrees, when my husband brought his childhood sweetheart crashing into our home. The poodle she held was more important than the three-month-old life growing inside me—"Set the air conditioner to 16 degrees, my dog is afraid of the heat." My husband then gripped my wrist and said, "Christina Sue, don't be so sentimental." Only then did I realize that some hearts are colder than ice.收起

Escape From My Mother

The wind chime shattered once again in the entrance hall; I clenched Mario Young's sleeve, but Mother's honeyed laughter still hooked into my bones. Her hand, offering the fruit basket, was as practiced as a script, but I saw the dusty men's leather shoes from three years ago. Simon Collins was also left forever at the door by her single word, "Hepatitis B." Today, this act falls to Mario Young, and I fear hearing that "slam" of the door once more.收起

Glad to be Eliminated

I stood in the shadow behind the cafe's back door, overhearing my boyfriend treat our relationship like a ruthless elimination contest—nineteen candidates, and I was just the obedient backup. At that moment, the laughter behind the glass door was like shards of broken glass stabbing into my heart, while my blood ran cold with shock. I dragged my suitcase away from his mansion and cut off all contact on that rainy night. The next day, University senior Charles Jones called: "Does our ten-year promise still hold?" I smiled and said, "It holds," and from then on, that scumbag couldn't even reach my back.收起

The Secret in the Freezer

Married for three years, I thought happiness was within my grasp—until my sister-in-law got into Medical School as a graduate student. Since then, strange things have been happening at home. That day after work, I was stunned to see two strangers carrying a 'human-shaped object' wrapped in white cloth into my house. When I confronted them, my husband and mother-in-law said it was to build merit for my sister-in-law and told me to endure it. But behind it all, dark and illegal secrets were lurking...收起

The Suffocating Night

The private room door suddenly slammed open, and a wave of heat mixed with cooking smoke hit me in the face. I gripped my water cup tightly, my fingertips turning cold. Next to the grilled wings Simon Green handed me was the pill bottle that had been switched—pale yellow powder stinging my eyes. Maggie Parker's sharp laugh cut through, "Faking sick? Try drinking this syrup then?" I was struggling to breathe, but they just laughed and called me "delicate." In that moment, death felt so close.收起

The Misused Black Card

My name is Sabrina Gresham. I have fought my way through the business world for half my life, never afraid of anyone. But when the overseas property charges on that black card statement stabbed into my eyes, my hand trembled for the first time. My foolish daughter Willa is being drained bit by bit by her so-called "perfect husband." The cruelest irony is that this card, which I gave to protect her, has become the weapon he uses to stab her.收起

The Surgery He Ordered

"Come here." Roland's voice was devoid of warmth, but the fingers holding my coffee stiffened. "Mr. Roland." I stood before him. He didn't look at me, flipping through the documents in his hand with a tone as casual as commenting on the weather: "Make an appointment with Dr. Patricia. You'll have surgery next month." My heart sank, nearly guessing what it was: "What surgery?" He raised his eyes, finally fixing them on me, as though inspecting an object in need of adjustment. "Breast augmentation." He spat out the two words, then closed the file. "Size and shape—Dr. Patricia knows. Once it's done, we'll get married." "What if I don't do it?" His gaze darkened as he drew closer. "Melissa, you...

My Daughter's Deadly Secret

My name is Daisy Scott, and I am an associate professor in the Department of History at Municipal University. Lately, strange things have been happening at home; my daughter, Vivian Lincoln, seems like a different person. She answers phone calls with an air of secrecy, and in her wardrobe, there are clothes and a flag from A Country. On her computer, she even has some of my unpublished historical documents and photos of military bases, and she is in close contact with a mysterious man. When I question her, she denies everything; when I try to discipline her, the whole family turns against me. What earth-shattering secret lies behind all this?收起

Cure My Enemy

I held the silver needle passed down through three generations, feeling a chill at my fingertips. In the video, I was administering acupuncture to my aunt; every angle was clearly captured. "Practicing medicine without a Medical Practice Certificate and treating illnesses on your own—that's enough to land you three years in prison." Marcel Zachary pressed his phone screen before my eyes, his voice like shards of ice, "Cure my father, and the video will be deleted." I stared at the face on the sofa—the black mole at the corner of his mouth was identical to the enemy in my family's ancestral portrait, the one who nearly wiped out the Yeager family. "He is a descendant of Jonathan Zachary." I squeezed...

The Match Maker

I never thought I'd get a message like this—Mindy Lincoln, my cousin's daughter, actually asking me to use my matchmaking skills to tie her to Yale Gabriel, the guy I've been seeing for two years. My fingers trembled over the screen, the steam from my coffee blurring my vision. I stared at the ultrasound photo attached and suddenly burst out laughing. Yale was literally talking about getting married just last month. If you're that set on being together, I'll help you out. But trust me, the price you'll pay is gonna be a lot.收起

His True Colors Revealed by a Dog

"Wendy, we're done." The two-year pretense of tenderness shattered so unexpectedly. "Why?" Jim fell silent for a few seconds, then said: "I've met the one I'm destined for." "Sarah?" I looked up, seeing right through him. A flicker of surprise crossed Jim's eyes; he promptly pulled a check from his bag and slid it across the table to me. "So you know. Help me win her over, and this money is yours." I suddenly recalled what Sarah's mother had said at dinner. "My Sarah is so beautiful and lovely." I also thought of Jim's startlingly bright eyes that day when he heard this sentence. But no one told him that the "destined one" he was pining for was just a...

The War Between My Mother and My Wife

I had originally planned to transfer 100,000 dollars to both my daughter-in-law and my daughter, but my daughter-in-law complained in the group chat that I was biased. Furious, I took back her money and transferred 880,000 dollars to my daughter instead. She threw a fit at my newborn granddaughter's feast and demanded the villa, so I transferred the villa to my daughter. Then she went online to smear me, and when exposed, she actually hugged the child and threatened to jump off the building.

My Savior, My Ruin

Ten years ago, in the ruins, he dug with his hands for eight hours to pull me back from death's grasp. I married him, thinking I had seized the true love. Ten years of love, envied by everyone. Until that night, our anniversary, when his phone rang—not the default ringtone, but a sweet, cloying female voice. I opened that thesis email and flipped to page 40. A girl with black lace pics, his office, our wedding photo faintly visible in the background. I flipped the phone around, the screen pointed straight at his face. "Michael Limbaugh." My voice was eerily calm. "So when you say you're helping a student with her thesis... you mean you're reviewing her black lace pics?...

A Final Goodbye at the Gravestone

"Jessica, it's been five years. Did you really think Alex meant it when he treated you well?" Stacy's voice was cloying and shrill. I was about to speak when Alex stepped in front of me, avoiding my gaze. "Stacy, you shouldn't be here." "If I hadn't come, how would I have seen how hard you've been pretending?" Stacy chuckled. "Alex, have you forgotten who helped you get through it all? And who made Jessica's father die in that 'accident'?" "Shut up!" Alex's roar trembled, yet he didn't push her away. I grabbed the sleeve of his shirt. "Is what she said true? Was my dad's car crash something to do with you?" He averted his eyes from me. "Jessica, don't...

The wound under the gauze was still throbbing when Grace's sneer drifted down the corridor. "Emily's face was ruined long ago. Now she's just unwanted trash." I pushed the door open and crashed straight into Charles Green. He fixed his eyes on mine, his tone hesitant. "Have we met before?" "You must have mistaken me for someone else, sir." I turned to leave, but Grace had already looped her arm through his. She looked me up and down in disgust. "Where did this ugly thing come from? Can't you see you're in the way?" "What gives you the right to call me names?" I shot back coldly. "I'm with Mr. Green—that's my right!" She raised an eyebrow. "Your eyes do...

Please come to City First Hospital immediately." I stared at the unfamiliar area code on the screen, my fingertip still resting on the negative sign in the financial report—the number instantly became a countdown to her life.

It was Mother's voice, oozing undisguised triumph. Father snorted coldly. "Otherwise, why would she bust her guts? Once she scrapes together all the 'medical fees' for Brian, this farce will be over." Brian's voice dripped with venom. "Why did she hog all the love since we were kids? I want Hector to wrap her around his little finger, to make her taste the humiliation of being lowly!" I stormed in, my voice trembling. "You faked your deaths on purpose? Just to torture me?"

His voice was laden with venomous sarcasm: "Your own family lies in ruins, yet you cannot bear to see others happy?" Gasps echoed around us. I swirled my glass and smiled.

The woman on the screen named Lilith Sue described water beds and mirrored rooms so expertly, it was as if she were talking about her own bedroom. When I saw the top tipper with the ID "Howard-Lilith Companion", my heart froze instantly. That was the naming format Howard Sinclair and I agreed on when we were dating, and our couple's account was called "Farina-Howard Companion." It turned out he had already used our secret code with another woman.收起

Destined Encounters

The red candle cast flickering shadows upon the mandarin duck brocade quilt; the palms of my hands were damp with a fine sweat. When James Shaw pushed open the door, a chill of night dew accompanied him. He said, "Your elder sister has returned." I looked at the dark brocade robe, still damp with rain stains, and suddenly understood—these five years of affection could never outweigh a single hypocritical tear at the corner of Stella Sue's eye.收起

Love Finds Its Shore

On our wedding night, he slammed the door and ran to his first love, while I knelt amid fallen peanuts and red dates, the blood on my lower back soaking through my wedding gown. For three years and nine months, I endured monthly bouts of love's poison, only to be met with his cold command: "Get lost." That night, his first love masterminded her poisoning; he force-fed me an entire bottle of pills and locked me in the bathroom to die. When I crawled out of the drain, only one thought remained in my heart: I no longer desired Mrs. Jones' place—I wanted his very life. Later, he knelt outside the garden where I was engaged, pleading with me to...

Over the Past Love

I had just put down my glass when Dylan Green pushed the door open. Sophia, in a pink dress, followed closely behind him. The cloying scent of her cheap perfume made me frown. "This is Sophia," he said flatly. "She'll be staying here permanently from now on." I didn't glance at Sophia, keeping my eyes fixed on him instead. "Dylan, this house is registered under my name. No outsider has a say here." He grabbed my wrist tightly. "Fifty thousand. Is that enough to make you shut up?" "Fifty thousand?" I yanked my hand back, letting my empty wrist dangle in front of his eyes. "When I sold my dowry to save you back then, you said you'd love me...

A Dead Ex-Wife's Reappearance

The antiseptic stung my nostrils sharply. Clutching Mindy's medical report so tightly my knuckles whitened, I demanded: "Six weeks pregnant—did you know this all along?" Caleb's hand still lingered on my back, but his gaze was fixed on the end of the corridor. "Yes. She told me not to say anything." "Not to say anything?" I stumbled backward, hitting the bench behind me. "Mindy and I are best friends!" Mindy walked over, leaning against the wall for support, her stomach slightly protruding. "Nancy, don't ask. The baby has nothing to do with Caleb." Caleb immediately pulled his hand away from me to help her, his tone softening. "It's windy. Let me walk you home." I grabbed the sleeve of his...

The Transfer Trick

I fixed my gaze on Maggie Scott on the playground—graceful and calm as she completed twenty kilometers—my nails piercing deep into my palm. In my previous life, I was brutally deceived by her false mask of 'selflessness'—left without a single shred of mercy! With every step she took, a bit more strength was siphoned from me, until I collapsed at the edge of the playground, my insides aching as if torn apart. Now that I'm reborn, I will never let her get away with it again!收起

The Rain That Started Our Story

The first time I saw Joseph Dawson was on a rainy evening. My bike chain had jammed, and I looked as scruffy as a stray dog. He crouched down to help fix my bike, rain dripping from his jaw onto the back of my hand. Later, he told me it was because he was afraid I'd cry. Back then, I didn't know this person would be the one to drain all the tears from my life.收起

I Torn Off the Mask of My Family

I've been living exhausted all these years, waking up early and coming home late every day, but my salary was quietly taken by my mother, leaving me only five hundred for living expenses. I gathered the courage to ask for two hundred for team building expenses but was met with her angry scolding. Late at night, I suddenly had acute appendicitis, but my mother refused to take me to the hospital because she had to make breakfast for my younger brother, even lying that the salary card was in the drawer. Before the surgery, I found out my salary card had been taken by my mother to pay off my brother's online loan, and she even wanted to use the...

My Friend and My Husband's Collusion

My name is Alice Sue. During the sweltering forty-degree heat, I went through postpartum confinement, wrapped in quilts and drenched in sweat. Yet my best friend, Cara Chow, was exchanging secret glances with my husband, Mark Stafford, resenting that I refused to turn on the air conditioner. It wasn't until they locked my newborn daughter and me inside a cold storage room at minus twenty degrees that I realized the carefully planned care was, in fact, a thorough murder plot.收起
