The Green Bird Token

My body was drenched in blood as I stumbled out of the northern M country jungle, gripping tightly the green bird token that held the power to decide my fate. For three years, I took bullets for Eric Shawn, repaid his debts, and stole drawings; he promised me that if I brought back the token, he would marry me. But when I stood before him, battered and bruised, he embraced Viola White and looked at me with cold eyes, saying his wife could never be a woman with blood on her hands. Since he has betrayed me, don't blame me for being ruthless—I will make him know that the cost of abandoning me is a burden the Shawn family cannot...

My Last Heartbeat for You

I was circling my expiration date in the support group when Dora Foster reached out to me. "You have brain cancer, I have heart disease." She messaged me privately, getting straight to the point: "You won't live past three months. Give me your heart. For these three months, I'll be your girlfriend." I looked at her avatar—pale yet exquisitely beautiful—and replied, "Deal." We each got what we needed, like an unspoken transaction. But when I actually collapsed in the rental apartment, coughing up blood, and saw her hand me the heart donation agreement, I hesitated. It turned out that the three-month charade had already become real to me. With trembling hands, I picked up the pen, ready to sign this...

The Wrong Password

On Valentine's Day, clutching the gifts I had carefully prepared for Yale Shawn, I secretly flew home on a fourteen-hour red-eye flight, my heart brimming with hope to surprise him. When I dragged my suitcase up to the villa he'd lived in for five years, the password I entered simply wouldn't work. Then the door swung open, and a young woman, heavy with child, stood there arrogantly demanding my husband divorce me. It was only then that the crushing truth hit me: the man I loved so deeply had been keeping a mistress behind my back...收起

A Trip to the Sea

I once devoted myself blindly to him for six years, changing my eating habits and giving up opportunities for further study because of him. But during that trip, simply because I took fifteen extra minutes to put on makeup, he shouted at me in front of everyone and left me behind alone. On the journey, he and his female assistant, Vivian Lincoln, were inseparable and intimate, completely disregarding my feelings. So, I decisively left...收起

The Suspicious Post

The glow of the phone screen fell on my face. That post marked as "Hot" coiled around my breath like a venomous snake. The anonymous post author's words were sharp as ice: "Sharing a bed with someone I don't love for a year—even her breath makes me sick." I was about to swipe away when David walked over, holding a glass of milk. His warm palm covered the back of my hand. "Why aren't you asleep yet?" "I'm reading a post." "The post author was forced into marriage by his parents. He is living in agony." A flicker crossed his eyes. His fingers tightened imperceptibly. "It has nothing to do with you. Don't pay it any mind." I nodded with...

Songs For Myself

"The Best Female Singer — Stellar!" When this name echoed through the Golden Music Awards ceremony venue, I clutched the new song I had written for her in my hand, my heart filled with anticipation. I looked up at her, radiant on the stage, fully expecting to hear that word of gratitude. Instead, she spoke affectionately: "Thank you, Mr. Luke. It's you who made me feel loved. And besides, Mr. Luke and I are getting married!" I was struck dumb, as if by a bolt of lightning: "Stellar, five years! I've written fifty-six songs for you, spent countless nights burning the midnight oil — and you just see me as a tool?" "Peter, don't be ungrateful!" she snapped. "Without me,...

The Deadly Order

My name's Anna Lincoln. I originally planned to just run the Alley Convenient Store my brother left me and live a quiet, simple life. But I didn’t expect that this store was actually a trouble. That day, during a pouring rainstorm, three clients barged in. The one leading them, cocky as hell, was the son of its richest family. He casually grabbed a Cola from the shelf, not knowing it would trigger the order for the killer! I tried to stop it, but I was too late. Great, now I'm caught up in this deadly order...收起

The True Heiress Returns

The warmth of the Scholarship Certificate still lingered at my fingertips, but the turmoil behind me foretold that my peaceful life was about to be turned upside down. Turning around, the two black Bentleys looked like messengers sent by fate, and the dignified man and woman stepping out were my biological parents, from whom I had been estranged for eighteen years. I thought the worst was behind me, but I never expected my boyfriend, clutching a ring worth only 9.99 dollars with free shipping, to try to use my entire life to fulfill another girl's dream of wealth and privilege.收起

The Silent Mother's Justice

"Mom! Do you hate me that much?" Tina Garcia sat on my living room floor, her leg in a cast stretched out straight, tears streaming as she faced the camera. "Fourteen years, and you haven't said a single word to me!" The host shoved the microphone in front of me: "Mrs. Lewis, how can you even call yourself a mother? You even pushed your daughter to attempt suicide!" I kept peeling potatoes without even raising my eyes. "Look at her! Look at that leg!" The host raised their voice, "Why are you so heartless?" I put down the knife. For the first time in fourteen years, I looked at my daughter. Tears streaked her face, but her eyes flicked to...

The Pink Lace

The key turned in the lock, and I smiled as I greeted my fiancé, Leon Quentin. Then my eyes caught the pink lace bracelet wrapped around his wrist—not the watch my father had given him. He avoided my gaze and said it was just a joke lost from a bet. It wasn't until my best friend's words jolted me awake: that was a woman's lingerie strap—a different kind of "claim of ownership."收起

My Family Becomes My Kill List

"I am Dylan Thompson! I am the owner of this villa!" A guard punched me in the chest, and I staggered, collapsing to the ground. Seven years have passed. I completed a secret mission and returned, only to be met with the closed door of my home. My cousin, Ryan Thompson, stormed out and slapped me across the face. "My nephew returned yesterday! You're an imposter!" My father, York Thompson, looked at me with icy detachment. "My son Dylan just had reconstructive surgery—you are a fake!" I looked up, gazing at the face that resembled mine by seventy percent. "Who are you?" I croaked out the words. He leaned in, whispering into my ear: "I am Dylan Thompson. As for...

The Substitute Groom and His Reborn Bride

I grew up picking cow dung on a northwest ranch, only to be recognized by the wealthy George Family as the substitute groom, marrying the disabled Fiona Lawrence on behalf of the fake young master Henry George, who refused the marriage. Unexpectedly, Henry went back on his word and tried to snatch the wedding; I stood my ground. On the wedding day, he was exposed by his pregnant ex-lover right in front of everyone. I took Fiona back to the ranch, only to find out she was reborn and had already chosen me. This time, we're going to live our own happiness out on the grassland.收起

My Husband's Affair with My Student

"Sign here." I slapped the divorce agreement down in front of Bernard Lawrence, the ink still wet. He had just come out of our bedroom with my student; the collar of his shirt was still stained with lipstick. "Gloria, let me explain..." He reached out to touch me, but I sharply pushed his hand away. "Explain what? Explain how you managed to sleep with my student?" Jane Donald stepped out wrapped in his shirt, grinning like a cat caught stealing fish: "Mrs. Gloria, Bernard loves me." I stared at Bernard Lawrence. "Twenty years—from seven to twenty-seven—means less than Jane?" His face turned pale. "I was drunk..." "Drunk enough to leave a condom by my bedside?" I sneered, "Bernard Lawrence, you...

When 20 Meets 40

I once thought that my first encounter with Pete at that art gallery was nothing more than a fleeting dream in my youth. "Mr. Pete, could you please sign your name for me?" I mustered up my courage, but my heart was pounding wildly. He took the sketchbook, signed his name, and didn't even glance at me. "Don't come near me again; we're not right for each other." Later, his words hit me like a bucket of cold water, and I was overcome with sorrow. Just then, Ben burst into the scene. "Gloria, he can't give you happiness, but I can!" I fell for his sweet words, only to sink into an even deeper quagmire. "You still love him!" Ben's...

My Hidden Billions

I've worked hard all my life, giving everything for my son to start his own family—from saving up for the down payment, paying the bride price, to helping with household expenses and taking care of my grandson. I lived so frugally, not even willing to throw away leftover food. But my daughter-in-law and son think it's shameful that I eat leftovers. They're even secretly plotting to get hold of my retirement money and want to send me back to the countryside so they can take over the old house. Heartbroken and desperate, I left home.

A Fake Doomsday

"Mindy, what are you spacing out for?" Chris reached out to touch my forehead, his eyes filled with "concern" that was just right. I jerked away, my fingertips digging into the palm of my hand—it was this man who had pushed me to the zombies in my past life, all just to fight for the last bottle of water. Suddenly, a loud bang came from a distance, and the screams of the crowd pierced the mountain forest. Chris stood up immediately: "It must be a landslide! Everyone, block the door and stay inside!" "Block the door? What if help comes?" I asked coldly in return. His face darkened: "The outside is full of monsters—going out is just asking for death!"...

The 200-Dollar Bill

My name is Mia Wilson. I've been married for three years and always thought I was the happiest woman alive. Until that Valentine's Day, when I got a notification from the bank about a close contact payment. He said he was working late, but he appeared at a convenience store, spending 200 dollars on two boxes of Durex. The clerk said the woman with him was wearing lingerie. With trembling hands, I checked the location and found him lying in the school district house I bought, with another woman.收起

Henry's roar rings in my ears: "Nancy! Don't you dare die on me! I forbid you to leave!" I let out a bitter laugh, the metallic tang of blood burning my throat: "Henry, who do you think you are to tell me what to do? The baby's gone, Grandma's gone—you did this to me!" He lunges for me, only to be held back by Charles, his eyes blazing with madness: "I'm sorry! I'll change! I'd give my life if I had to, just don't give up on yourself!" "Does an apology fix everything?" I pull away from him and turn to Charles. "I'm no longer that little girl who waited up for you deep into the night." Henry struggles against...

The Doctor's Revenge Marriage

On the night of the engagement, I witnessed my boyfriend entangled with his female boss inside a car. After three years together, he thought I was just an unremarkable, poor doctor. I turned away and agreed to the commercial marriage arranged by my father. He flattered the director in a bid to advance, while I directly married the CEO none of them could ever hope to reach. What I didn't realize was that this commercial marriage, forged in the name of revenge, concealed his secret love of ten years.收起

A Farewell to All Betrayals

When the doctor told me I had at most three months to live, the only thing I wanted was to return to my old house and wait for death. But beneath the locust tree, I saw Holly Garcia once again. The woman who deceived me for seventeen years and condemned me to a living hell for eight more. "Do you still resent me?" Her voice trembled. I coughed up blood and laughed bitterly, "Resent? My father was driven to his death by you, my mother went mad for eight years—Holly, tell me, whom am I supposed to resent?" Her face turned ghostly pale, her eyes bloodshot and swollen. "Chris, the child back then was yours..." I stepped closer, my voice...

When I Stopped Pretending

The crystal chandelier at the business cocktail party dazzled above me, and clutching the ill-fitting edge of my suit, I bumped right into Sigmund Locke's smiling eyes. "Nova Sullivan?" He raised his glass and stepped closer, regal as if born to rule. "Your boss says you handle things very efficiently." My cheeks flushed as I was about to reply when a scoff came from behind: "Sigmund, does a low-level clerk like her even deserve your personal attention?" "Yvonne!" Sigmund Locke frowned, but there was no reproach in his voice. "Don't say foolish things." "Where did I say something wrong?" She leaned in close, her voice sharp, "You really think playing innocent can fool Sigmund?" I clenched my fists, holding back...

Eighty Cuts for Her Smile

After my car accident left my face injured, my husband, Sawyer Robinson, held my hand and said he'd hired a top plastic surgeon to fix me. The anesthesia had just been pushed into my vein when the surgery room door suddenly slammed open. My eight-year-old son, Troy, rushed to my bedside, his face ghostly pale. "Mom! You can't have the surgery!" His voice was shaking, but every word hit me like a hammer. "Dad wants the doctor to make eighty cuts on your face—he wants to disfigure you permanently!" A chill ran through my entire body. "He and that woman, Eva Murphy... killed you later." Dizzy from the anesthesia, I heard his voice growing more distant: "Mom, believe me—I was...

The Heir's Counterattack

Stepping through the cold glass door of X Technology, I thought I was just starting an ordinary internship, never expecting to step right into the eye of a storm. "Cutting it close on your first day? Are all interns these days so disrespectful of rules?" Ruby's sneer sliced through the air like a sharp blade. Her critical eyes sized me up and down as if I were some shoddy piece of junk. I struggled to hold back my annoyance and explained, "I ran into a traffic accident on the way, which delayed me a bit." But she refused to let it go, slamming a sheet of "Special Rules for Interns" on my desk—every rule was targeted at me. I clenched...

After I Forgive Him For Three Times

I loved Andy with all my heart for three years, investing every penny of my savings into his company. What I got in return, though, were a pair of unfamiliar women's high heels at the entrance, and two intertwined figures on the sofa that stabbed my eyes. "Listen to me, it's all a misunderstanding!" Andy flusteredly pushed Nina away—who was wearing my silk nightgown—his tone so proficient it made me sick to my stomach. This was the third time. I'd forgiven him the previous two times I caught him cheating. But this time, Nina refused to let it go, even sending me a provocative text message: "You're nothing but a stepping stone for him. It's time for you to leave."...

I still remember clearly the moment that icy blade plunged into my belly; the rusty smell mixed with the cheap perfume on Yolanda Scott's skin, stabbing straight into my nose. My boyfriend Leo Jones, whom I had trusted with my whole heart for two years, gripped my shoulder tightly, his eyes cold and distant, like he was looking at a stranger. All around me, my classmates' faces twisted in hatred, shouting, "The zombie outbreak is coming—why shouldn't we be allowed to lend at usury?" When I opened my eyes again, I was back three days before the zombie outbreak—classroom desks, half-eaten bread, everything so achingly familiar. This time, I want to see what will happen to them...收起

"Greta, once I am drunk, I will tell you everything." Arthur Silva's voice drifted through the steamy bathroom air, laced with a playfulness I had never heard before. I offered no reply; as my fingers grazed the pocket of his suit, they brushed against his phone. The screen lit up, the last message striking my eyes with crystal clarity. From "Maria." —"Arthur, will she truly sign that share transfer agreement today?" The sound of water ceased. I set down the phone and, a moment before he opened the door, resumed my position leaning against the headboard. He approached with damp hair, leaning close to whisper in my ear, his breath hot and redolent of alcohol. "Greta, transfer your shares in...

"Mr. Mason sure knows how to pick his timing, walking in on the fun like this." "Daniel?" I gritted my teeth. "How dare you lay a hand on my wife?" Stella immediately stepped in front of him, forcing a calm tone. "I did it willingly! Mason, don't be unreasonable!"...

A Secret Surname

"Georgina, Debra is pregnant." When my husband Jeff said this, he didn't even look up at me; his finger gently brushed over Debra's belly. I flipped to the next non-disclosure agreement that needed handling, the tip of my pen never pausing. "I'll arrange the surgery and the hush money." "This time, it's different." He finally looked at me, his eyes colder than I had ever seen: "I want this child." I put down my pen and glanced at the young secretary hiding behind him, her eyes gleaming with triumph. Debra suddenly started crying, clutching his sleeve. "Jeff, I'm afraid... will Georgina hurt our baby?" He immediately pulled her closer, glaring at me furiously: "Georgina! Dare to lay a hand on...

The Debt of Love

My hand rested softly on my slightly swollen belly, clutching the birthday cake I had baked with my own hands, my heart brimming with joy as I prepared a surprise for Calvin Luke. Today was his birthday, and I was eagerly anticipating our sweet moment together. But the moment I stepped into the Banquet Hall, the scene before me pierced my heart like an ice pick—Vivian Lincoln was straddling his lap, red wine pouring down his shirt! I rushed over to confront him, only to be met with Calvin Luke's cold, harsh rebuke. In that moment, I realized—I was nothing more than a pawn in his grand scheme...收起

That Final Daddy

On the eve of the holiday, Luna wanted a strawberry cake and Lucy asked for an iced soda. I had just agreed to their requests when Melody, who had just finished a phone call, said, "A major client wants to meet. My promotion to director depends on this—I have to go." "Cancel it! The kids have been looking forward to visiting the reed marsh for a whole week!" I pulled her back. "This is an opportunity I've waited three years for!" She shrugged me off. "The bee venom allergy medicine is by the entrance—don't be careless." With that, she rushed out the door. The next day, at the reed marsh, Luna and Lucy ran into the wildflower patch. But within...

His Obsession

The blade pressed against my neck. Brian's voice drifted out of the darkness: "Keep an eye on her, leave her alive, stick to the original plan." I struggled. The masked man clamped a hand over my mouth. In the shadows, Brian's eyes blazed with nothing but crazed possessiveness. When I opened my eyes again, Alex was leaning over me: "Mia, I'll get you out of here—you just have to ask your dad to help my family's company." "You colluded with Brian?" I gritted my teeth, the metallic tang of blood filling my mouth. His face shifted. He forced a calm expression: "Don't talk nonsense! I'm truly here to save you." The door slammed open suddenly. Brian kicked Alex away and...

My Patient is My Husband

"Dr. Smith, my... my boyfriend wants to ask you to perform a private part plastic surgery." Ruby stood in front of me, her eyes darting about, and her voice trembling with a faint, barely noticeable quiver. I looked up, frowning. "This type of surgery requires the patient to apply in person." "He... he really can't make it. Dr. Smith, please!" She was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears, and the medical record she was clutching in her hand was almost crushed out of shape. I hesitated for a moment, but in the end, my heart softened. On the day of the surgery, I put on a mask and got ready to start. However, the moment the...

I Funded His Dream, He Funded Her Life

I stared at Mary Xavier's young, innocent face right in front of me, while Casper Johnson stood behind her, smoking, his eyes gliding lazily over my clenched fists. "Who is she?" Mary Xavier shook Casper Johnson's arm. "A friend." He sneered, "Keeps pestering me." My voice shook. "Casper, I'm pregnant." There was a moment of silence. Casper Johnson flicked the cigarette butt away, stepped closer, his voice low and venomous: "Pregnant? Just have an abortion." "You said if I got pregnant, we'd get married..." "I lied to you." He cut me off, leaned in closer, his breath hot against my ear. He pulled out a wad of cash and stuffed it into my coat pocket. "Surgery costs. Stay out of...

I'll never forget that night that changed my entire life. Yale Shawn, the guy I'd been crushing on for three years, suddenly asked me to meet him. My heart was pounding—I thought happiness was finally here. But the cocktail he handed me felt like poison, pulling me into a haze. When I woke up, my whole body ached—and I was pregnant! I was so excited to tell the Shawn Family the good news, but instead, I was met with cold mockery from the three sons of the Shawns—it was all just a cruel joke...收起

The Unseen Lover

On the night of the Valentine's Day, Caleb Jones' luxury car tore through the rain and flicked a gold-embossed wedding invitation at me. I clenched it tightly, my knuckles whitening—the bride's name on it was not mine, but Ruby Green, the princess of Capital's elite circle. He said, "The financial support ends here. If you want to save your younger brother, obediently become my secret lover." I smiled, tore the contract into pieces, and scattered them in his face: "I'd rather die." But I had no idea that sitting in another luxury car outside was another man—Cameron Lewis. He had witnessed everything and extended his hand to me: "Marry me, and I will save your younger brother."收起

The Family Show

The day I died, my entire family was in the next room scheming how to use my compensation money to wed Lisa Brown. Amid the searing pain, I heard my mother-in-law laughing and saying, "Once she breathes her last, just say my grandson refuses to donate his liver." I opened my eyes wide and saw my seven-year-old son kicking away my desperate pleas. When I opened my eyes again, the acrid smell of disinfectant struck me—I had returned to the night before they forced me to donate my liver to my father-in-law. This time, I smiled as I tore up the medical report: Want to take my life again? Then let's see if you have a life to take!收起
