The Player's Victim Act

2026-03-04

As soon as my chemotherapy session ended, a live stream of Mark popped up on my phone. He was wearing the wool sweater I'd given him, weeping over his "late wife" in our wedding house, while gifts and donations flooded the screen. I kicked the door open, and his fake grief froze instantly. "Why are you back?" "I'm back to expose your scam of cashing in on my 'death'," I sneered. His eyes flushed with panic. "How else was I supposed to raise money for your chemo?" "Raise money for my chemo," I shot back, "or pave the way for you and your new lover?" Just then, his mother stormed in with groceries and started yelling. "Even if you're not dead, you're nothing but bad luck! Divorce Mark at once—don't ruin his chance to remarry!" "Once she's gone, we can sell her jewelry as 'mementos'," Mark chimed in eagerly. "The donations will double for sure!" Right on cue, a courier arrived with a box of targeted cancer drugs. His mother's eyes lit up greedily. "Sell them for cash! Your life isn't worth a fraction of that money!" I clutched the medicine box tightly and glared at the mother-son pair. "You think I'm just waiting to die? Guess who sent these drugs. How long do you think your little paradise will last?"收起

Chapter 1 of "The Player's Victim Act"

As the taxi crossed L Bridge, the evening breeze carried the river's briny scent pressing against the car window. The wind was strong enough to make the car window tremble slightly. I had just finished my fifth round of chemotherapy; the fingertips still throbbed from the needle punctures, a subtle, clustered pain, like tiny needles gently pricking. Instinctively, I opened the short video app on my mobile phone. Pinned atop the homepage was a video thumbnail—Mark Collins's face, the one I had been looking at for five years. In those five years, his features had barely changed, but in his eyes was something I had never been able to understand. He wore the dark grey wool sweater I gave him last birthday—the one I hunted through three department stores to find. He said he loved it back then. But at this moment, his eyes were red-rimmed, clutching a blurry photo of us, taken when we first fell in love, with the plane trees by the school gate in the background. In the video's background was our bridal chamber, where the cross-stitch I had spent half a year embroidering hung on the wall—it read, "Holding your hand, growing old together."

Love Reset, Life Reboot

The familiar pair of high heels by the entrance stung my eyes. I pushed open the door. Caleb was leaning against the sofa, smoking, with ash falling onto the pillow I'd embroidered for three months. "You're back." He spoke in a flat tone. "Caleb, this is the tenth time." My voice trembled. The strong scent of rose perfume on him was sickening. He reached out to hug me. "Catherine, don't be ridiculous." The master bedroom door swung open. A woman wearing my nightgown linked arms with him, the red marks on her collarbone glaringly obvious. "Catherine, Caleb and I are truly in love. Don't you think it's shameless of you to cling to this position?" "Shameless?" I laughed until tears...

The Calculating Marriage

At the wedding, he pulled out an agreement and slapped it into my palm. "Rachel, sign this post-marital AA agreement first, and then we'll exchange rings." My knuckles turned white as I gripped the paper. "Simon, today is our wedding day!" "Wedding calls for dutch pay even more," he said, arching an eyebrow. "We split the wedding's utility bills and food expenses fifty-fifty—it's only fair." Simon's mother suddenly stood up to chime in. "I think you're trying to take advantage of Simon." I stared into the unwavering resolve in his eyes, my voice trembling. "You've been planning this from the very start?" He leaned in, his breath as cold as ice. "Either sign it right now, or call off the...

The Maternity Store Call

A call from a maternity store demanding payment ripped away the cover on my husband's eight-year affair. I saw him with my own eyes holding his pregnant assistant, buying her the same gifts I had, and even changing my contact name to "A mad woman." I decisively divorced him and made sure he knew that all the resources and money he depended on actually came from me—the woman he looked down on. That jerk went bankrupt, the other woman ran off, and I started a new chapter in my career and love life.收起

After He Abandons Me on the Road

Fiona leaned on Jim's shoulder, her voice sharp with sarcasm: "Jim, tell her to get out." Jim's voice was cold: "Blair, get out of the car." I refused to move. "There's no phone signal here, and no taxi. How am I supposed to get back?" "What's that got to do with us?" Fiona said. "You deserve it." I turned to Jim, my voice trembling: "It's been ten years. I've liked you for ten years, and this is how you treat me?" He frowned, his tone growing even colder: "Don't try to guilt trap me. Your love makes me sick." Fiona leaned in to whisper in his ear, making sure I could hear: "She's probably just trying to cling to you—she...

The Stand-in Agreement

My father's life hangs in the balance, my mother coughs so violently she's nearly gasping for air, and my little sister clings to my clothes, crying until she loses her voice. I stand at the operating room door, clutching the payment notice I can never repay, like holding a death warrant. The cold wind cuts through me to the bone, but it doesn't compare to the chill that freezes me when I hear, "No payment, no surgery." Just as despair threatens to tear me apart, a stranger offers me a pact — "On call anytime, and I'll trade you a life for your father's." The moment I lifted my pen to sign my name, I didn't know to whom I...

150 Pills for a Promise

"Take the pills 150 times, and I'll marry you." To save my mother, I swallowed all the bitterness, along with the rare kindness he reluctantly gave me—fooling myself into thinking it was love. On the 149th time, news of Ginny Perry's return exploded across trending searches. On the 150th time, I put on the wedding dress he once said looked good, but he threw my suitcase at my feet. "Get lost." I gripped the empty pill bottle, my fingertips white: "Cymbal Gray, you said once I took enough..." "Agreement's off," he cut me off, his voice full of disgust, "Ginny's back. You should leave."收起
