She found out the truth… the hard way. One envelope. One night. One betrayal she can’t unsee. Her husband—Adrian Virelli. Powerful. Untouchable. And cheating on her for months. So Elena does what any woman would do. She asks for a divorce. Big mistake. Because Adrian Virelli doesn’t lose. Not in business. Not in life. And definitely not his wife. “You’re not leaving me.” What starts as a marriage… turns into a prison. Security watching her every move. Doors she can’t open. A husband who won’t let go. But Elena is done being weak. She changes her name. Her life. Her identity. But there’s one thing she can’t escape. Him. Because Adrian is not just chasing her. He’s hunting her. And when he finally finds her again… There will be no running. No hiding. No escape.

Amara, a wealthy aristocrat's well-bred daughter with a secret to hide, is thrown into despair when her world is suddenly shattered after discovering she isn’t the Caldwells' biological daughter. It was incredibly convenient for her father to discard years of love, devotion, and family ties, quickly sending her as a marriage tribute to a Werewolf Prince after receiving an invitation that, according to the Peace Treaty between Werewolves and Humans, required one of his daughters. It no longer mattered that she wasn’t truly a Caldwell, nor that she was already in love with someone else. So, on the night of her planned elopement with her lover, her fate with the monster was ruthlessly sealed. Forget that the Alpha Prince is a cursed monster—yet, why is he always in her face, treating her like his perfect plaything to pass the time? But most importantly, if he truly doesn't care about her, why do those who cross her suddenly disappear or get punished? — Excerpt: Amara could feel the tension in the way Alexander stood before her—the restraint in his silence, the weight of his attention pressing against her body. He shouldn’t be this close to her after cornering her against a tree. “Do you know what happens when I want something?” he asked, his voice dangerously controlled. Her breath trembled, but she shook her head. “I—I don’t know.” “I take it.” Amara inhaled sharply as she lifted her gaze to meet his dark, conflicted eyes, burning with something that made her heart stutter. “Then why haven’t you?” she whispered. His gaze dropped briefly to her lips. “Because if I cross that line,” he said, “I won’t stop.” “Then cross it.” Her voice was barely audible. Instantly, the restraint in Alexander’s eyes shattered. He lowered his head and claimed her mouth in a desperate, hungry kiss.

Seraphina was the "Aegis of the Nine Heavens"—a War-Saintess who spent three centuries painting the stars red to build an empire for the man she loved, the Divine Emperor Lucian. She was his sword, his strategist, and his lover. But on the eve of his ultimate ascension, Lucian didn't offer her a throne; he offered her a sacrificial altar.

But the Abyss couldn't hold a woman who had conquered galaxies. Seraphina awakens in the mortal realm, inhabiting the body of Lyra, the "discarded trash" concubine of a minor tyrant King. Lyra was a woman bullied to death by servants and forgotten by her husband. Now, Seraphina possesses this frail, bruised vessel—along with the [Primal Seduction & Sovereignty System].

From cold-blooded kings to forbidden immortals and demonic overlords, she must make them her "Vassals" through beauty, wit, and the spicy arts of the bedchamber. She is no longer a Saintess.

Xue Guiying dies by his own hand. Born an illegitimate Omega into a family that treated him as a burden and a bargaining chip, he spent his first life enduring every cruelty they had to offer. When they finally found a use for him, it was the worst possible one: an arranged marriage to a man who broke him completely over five years. Abused, assaulted, and stripped of all dignity, Guiying chose the only exit he believed was left to him. Then he wakes up five years earlier, whole in body if not in spirit, with the full weight of everything he remembers. Before his family can lock him into the same fate, Guiying walks into a civil affairs bureau and marries the first willing stranger he finds.

What follows is a marriage neither of them planned and both of them slowly begin to want. Behind Liuxian's cold exterior is a man of quiet, unexpected gentleness. For Guiying, learning to receive warmth without flinching is its own kind of battle. He did not come back to fall in love. He came back to win. Yet somehow, both things begin to happen at once. Because while Guiying is falling, he is also methodically dismantling everyone who destroyed his first life. And his former husband, unwilling to accept Guiying's new life, is making that task considerably more dangerous. In the end, every person who wronged Xue Guiying meets the ruin they deserve, and he finds himself standing in a life that is finally, entirely his own, with a man beside him who chose him back. This time, he does not have to die to be free.

Modern medical virtuoso Su Tang transmigrates into the body of a 1970s Shanghai belle. Fearing for her safety, her parents send her—along with their entire fortune—to the military family compound. The original owner of this body had been spoiled and willful, causing trouble everywhere she went. In the end, she was divorced and met a tragic fate. Familiar with the plot, Su Tang knows that only one person can protect her—the husband she has never met. She prepares herself mentally, but when she finally arrives at the compound and sees the cold-faced, rugged man standing before her, she still swallows nervously. He looks so fierce. He wouldn’t hit someone, would he? … Lu Xiao’s marriage was arranged by his parents. He had never met Su Tang. All he knew was that his wife was a pampered young lady who had never lifted a finger. He despised such petty-bourgeois habits and held no favorable impression of her. On the day Su Tang steps into the family compound with her marriage certificate, Lu Xiao takes her luggage with a cold expression—only for something soft and warm to be pressed into his hands. His little wife stands on her tiptoes, carefully tying a hand-knitted scarf around his neck. “I heard the northwest winds are like knives,” she says softly in a gentle Wu dialect. “So I specially added some cashmere.” Lu Xiao’s Adam’s apple bobs. The tips of his ears quietly turn red as he picks up all her belongings. City girls were good at firing sugar-coated bullets. He definitely wasn’t falling for it. But later… Every time Su Tang spoke to him in that soft, coquettish tone, Lu Xiao found himself wishing he could climb to the heavens and pluck the stars just for her.

Qin Mei accidentally transmigrated to the 1970s. The original owner of the body was also named Qin Mei. She wasn't in an arranged marriage without choice, but rather coveted Jie Jingchen. Having heard from somewhere that he was going to marry a primary school teacher, she decided to strike first, creating a fait accompli and forcing him to marry her. Her methods were despicable, but they were effective. The original owner was a massive troublemaker; at only eighteen, she had already become a widow, branded as a husband-jinx. The 'Chong Xi' marriage failed, sending the person on their deathbed to their grave, and she was nailed to the village's pillar of shame. ... She has none of the original owner's memories. As someone from the 21st century, how is she supposed to survive in the 1970s? Fortunately, the original owner found her a husband before she died. She'll cling to his thigh, live off him, curry favor with her parents-in-law, dominate her sisters-in-law, tear apart the "green tea bitches," help her eldest sister-in-law, kick her brother-in-law, encourage her disabled younger sister-in-law, and ride the spring winds of reform to get rich. ... "Why isn't Sister-in-law here to take care of you yet?" Jie Jingchen's mouth twitched. He looked at the busy figure by the next sickbed; his wife was taking care of another man. "Are you sure he's your husband?" Jie Jingchen couldn't help but ask. "Are you kidding? Would I mistake my own husband?" Qin Mei glared at him. Not until the man's wife arrived and she was beaten up for being the "other woman," did Qin Mei become completely bewildered. After taking meticulous care of him for a week, who on earth had she been taking care of? ... Under a tree, the neighbors sat together chatting. "So-and-so's daughter-in-law died from drinking pesticide." "Why drink the pesticide herself? Why not give it to her in-laws? If you're not afraid of dying, why would you be afraid of poisoning their whole family? If it were me, I'd definitely drag their whole family down with me to be buried together. That way, I wouldn't be lonely on the Yellow Springs Road." Qin Mei couldn't help but chime in. "..." Everyone was speechless. This conversation... made all the in-laws tremble in fear.
