For our wedding anniversary, my husband used my black card to buy me a limited-edition watch. I'd come home to grab some files, only to be met with the sickeningly sweet sound of my apprentice, Giselle Monroe, whispering with my husband. "Andre, your wife is nothing but a walking wallet. What does she know about being wild? She could never ignite you like I can." Andre sighed. Then, in an indulgent tone, he said, "Brooke is too perfect—perfect to the point of being suffocating. Not like you. You’re like a wild vine wrapped around me, making me feel the searing heat of life." Just then, his mother, Sylvia Cavanaugh, called. He put her on speaker. "Andre, you need to act fast. While Brooke still loves you, take control of all the secrets and assets she holds over the higher-ups and make them your own. That girl, Giselle, looks promising—she's much better than that icy queen you have for a wife." I gripped the cold doorknob, listening to the shameless pair in the study and the venomous woman on the phone. The family crest he’d tattooed on his back—for me—felt like it was burning a hole right through my skin. I immediately sent an encrypted message to our banker in Switzerland, my mind already fixed on my next move. See you at the family meeting, you ungrateful traitors.

At the anniversary dinner I personally orchestrated, my husband, Trey Valeriano—heir to the Valeriano family—publicly declared that another woman, Brielle Santoro, would be the family's next Donna. I was a bride in an arranged marriage, a piece of property branded "Mrs. Valeriano." He never allowed me to appear at any social events we were supposed to attend together. I had designed eighteen family projects for him, yet he wouldn't even let me stand by his side as his wife at our own anniversary dinner. For the nineteenth project, he finally relented. I was ecstatic, slipping into a silk gown he had never seen before, one that hugged every curve, only to arrive and see another woman—Brielle Santoro—already on his arm. They were wrapped around each other, and the family video montage I had poured my heart into creating had been replaced with a slideshow of their steamy vacation photos from Miami. Trey held Brielle, his gaze meeting mine with those cold, blue eyes I had once adored, as he announced Brielle would be the future Donna because I had never been "truly one of them." Everyone was waiting for me to break down, to scream, but I didn't. In fact, I felt the knot that had been tightening in my chest for three years finally come undone. Because in three days, our three-year marriage contract would expire. And I would be free.

After an uneventful life, an aging geek dies in a most ignoble of ways only to be offered the chance to try again and live, with at least fewer regrets. Restarting life complete with wish-fulfilling parameters to help him along. The first one is to have a system based on a TTRPG that he'd been puttering around designing for the last decade. Looking forward to correcting some of his mistakes, our erstwhile MC should have read the fine print. ------------------------------------------------------------------- I wanted to have more chapters ready before I put anything out, but then this Writing Prompt hit all the buttons, so... I'm still new at this and often bounce around to various projects. If it does okay, I'll keep it at a higher priority.

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
