Sophia Reeves, a young woman trapped in a controlling relationship with powerful billionaire Marcus Blackwood, finds her world shattered when he unexpectedly proposes to end their five-year relationship.

With the support of her loyal friend Zoe and a chance encounter with her old mentor, James Chen, Sophia begins to uncover a web of corruption surrounding Marcus's business empire. Determined to expose the truth and reclaim her identity, she embarks on a dangerous investigation that puts her directly in Marcus's crosshairs.

She also navigates complex emotions as she encounters Ethan Ryder, an FBI agent investigating Marcus, who becomes both an ally and a potential love interest. As Sophia delves deeper into the case, she must confront her own past mistakes and the temptation to seek revenge. However, Sophia's journey takes an unexpected turn when she stumbles upon an ancient magical world hidden beneath the surface of her reality. Through a series of mysterious events, she discovers that she is the descendant of a powerful lineage of sorceresses, destined to protect the balance between the mundane and the magical realms. As she learns to harness her newfound abilities, Sophia finds herself drawn into an age-old conflict between light and dark forces, with Marcus's corruption tied to a deeper, more sinister plot that threatens both worlds. The story culminates in a high-stakes confrontation where Sophia's newfound strength, intelligence, and magical prowess are put to the ultimate test. She must choose between vengeance and taking the high road, all while exposing the truth, securing her own future, and fulfilling her destiny as a guardian of the magical world. "She Strikes Back" is a powerful narrative about breaking free from toxic relationships, facing one's fears, and emerging stronger on the other side. It explores themes of personal growth, the courage to stand up against powerful adversaries, and the transformative power of self-belief. Sophia's journey from a controlled "accessory" to a confident, successful woman and a formidable sorceress serves as an inspiring testament to the indomitable human spirit and the ability to rise from the ashes of one's past.

Sharon was an ordinary person, while her husband, Wallace Harris, was a promising and handsome man. His family was one of the most prestigious and wealthiest families in New York City. Being able to marry Wallace was an accident. Throughout their three years of marriage, Wallace had never slept with Sharon. His family also kept persuading him to divorce Sharon. It was the birthday party of the Harris family's old matriarch, and all youngsters of the Harris family had given the most expensive gifts possible to make the old lady happy—everyone but Sharon. She asked to borrow money from Madam Harris for the old housekeeper, Uncle Smith, as he had no money to pay for his medical treatment. But as expected, the Harris family humiliated her when she requested. "The Harris family has never had a poor relative like you. Don't you ever appear in front of me again! Wallace should've married Crystal. She's certainly a young lady who's worthy of marrying into our family!" said Madam Harris. "Please know your place and get out of here. Don't stay at our house anymore. How can Wallace's grandfather be so foolish to marry a poor, useless woman like you to my son?!" said June, Wallace's mother. "It's just a few million dollars, yet you're so poor that you need to borrow from our family. How can a woman like you deserve to be with Wallace? If it were Crystal, she definitely wouldn't have embarrassed us so much!" That night, Wallace handed Sharon a bank card, which contained millions of dollars. "The company is developing, so I don't have much cash. You can use this to help Uncle Smith." Facing the Harris family's hostility, Wallace stated, "Since I have married her, she is my responsibility. Regardless of her being rich or poor, Sharon is my wife." It wasn't until a stranger approached Sharon one day. Only then did Sharon know that she was the daughter of a top prestigious family, who was eligible to receive assets worth at least ten billion. She suddenly owned the largest company in New York and a bank card that contained hundreds of millions of 'pocket money.' In the blink of an eye, her identity had changed. She was no longer the poor daughter-in-law that wasn't favored by the Harris family. Instead, she had become the most prestigious person in New York!

Waking up in the middle of a dream, a strange door appears in the house... Behind each door lies a different, unfamiliar world. In the nightmare world, Jiang Cheng exaggerated the news he got from the strong man and told it to the fat man. The latter was almost in tears as he listened, "If we die here, our entire family will bleed to death upside down?" "That's right." "Then why don't you seem that scared?" The fat man widened his eyes. Jiang Cheng turned his head and said in a very serious tone, "Because I'm an orphan." --- You can support me and read ahead at my Pa treon at Pa treon.com/CinderTL
