To secure my financial support, Ulric played nice for three years. After saving enough to buy a house in full, I proposed marriage to him. He refused, telling me to wait a little longer. I had no idea what he was waiting for. Until one day, at the entrance of the hospital, I heard a woman calling her dog: Flora. The person holding the dog was Ulric. Flora is my name. I had dreamed countless times about him kneeling on one knee, proposing to me. But later, he knelt in front of me, calling out "Flora." I sneered coldly, "Are you calling the dog, or are you calling me?"
Until I was hospitalized with a serious illness, I realized I had been fooled by my boyfriend 33 times. The 1st time I was tricked, he lied to me that he'd had a car accident. I knelt on a thousand steps to get him a talisman for safety, but later he threw it into the trash. The 2nd time I was tricked, he lied to me that his thesis was lost. I stayed up all night rewriting it for him, but the next day, his beloved girl took my thesis and got first place in the department. The 3rd time I was tricked, he lied to me about going to an amusement park for my birthday. I got sunstroke under the sun but didn't see a single person. Today, he tricked me for the 33rd time. Not knowing how to swim, he tricked me into going into the lake to fetch our love ring, and I almost drowned. "Who told her to snatch the piano competition win from Xiao Rou? This is the price she should pay." "But now, she’s squared her debt. From today, I’ll treat her as my girlfriend and give her true love." Outside the hospital bed, my boyfriend's conversation with his friends made me feel like I was in an ice cave. What I thought was true love was just his deliberate revenge for his beloved girl. That day, I directly accepted the school's opportunity to study abroad. But after I disappeared, he went crazy searching the world for me.
"Divorce me." Though like a parrot, she kept repeating these words to him-again, and again. Selene was but an unfortunate wife of a man who only saw her as...his possession; his trophy. As her life spirals and strays away from the flowery path her very husband paved for her, their marriage was the same. Selene, who carried a bundle of misfortune with her everywhere she went-and her husband who married her despite that was her 'stroke of luck'. "Selene, I will never." he says, but are promises meant to be kept? or broken? could she still trust him, knowing that his vows were already broken? Second chances are not created if only the first chance was cared for.
Three years ago, when Jameson and I got married, the media covered it extensively. In the gossip news, I was called the "Cinderella who married into a wealthy family." I became the object of envy and the goal of many young girls in the city. In fairy tales, Cinderella marrying the prince is the perfect ending. But in real life, even after Cinderella gets married, she still has to keep living. Yet, no one cares what her life is like after the wedding.

My mate agreement with Alpha Ryder was nearing the end of its eighth year. He was a pureblood werewolf, the leader of the Silvermoon pack. And I was just a "temporary Luna," chosen for a political marriage to maintain peace within the pack. In these eight years, he had brought home 199 she-wolves. Tonight was the 200th. An Omega who bore a striking resemblance to his deceased love. He made no attempt to hide it, bringing her directly to our home. When the woman strode through the door and saw me, her eyes were dripping with mockery. "Alpha Ryder, is this the mate you can't even be bothered to mark?" she asked, her lips curling into a smirk. Ryder, lounging on the sofa, lazily grunted in response, "Mhm." The woman walked up to me and patted my cheek. She purred, her voice a provocative thrum, "Tonight, I'll show you exactly what it takes to drive Alpha Ryder wild." That night, Ryder ordered me to wait outside on the terrace of their room. I was forced to listen to every sound of their passion. The next morning, Ryder came downstairs as if nothing had happened. He commanded me with a cold expression, "Make breakfast. Steak and coffee." I simply said, "No." Perhaps he had forgotten that we only had a paper agreement and were never officially marked as mates. And our mate agreement was set to expire in three days.
After being cruelly murdered by my husband's white moonlight, my corpse was thrown under the bridge outside the villa. On the third day of my death, my son finally found me under the bridge. He stepped on the gravel, wiped the blood off my face with his small hands, and I did not blink. He held clear water to my pale lips, and I did not lick. He lay on my cold chest, listening to my long-silent heartbeat. Hao Hao panicked and used his phone watch to video call my actor husband who was doing a fashion show: "Dad, why is mom lying here all the time?" "Your mom is practicing her acting skills, ignore her! Tell your mom that whenever she is willing to admit her mistake, I will forgive her." After hanging up, my son stared at my corpse for a long time. He took off his small coat, gently covering my cold body: "Mom, this way it won't hurt."
Three years into our marriage, Preston Slater walked out of my birthday party, holding another woman in his arms. People tried to explain, saying she was his first love. Later, his first love nearly ran me over with her car. But Preston? He was only concerned with pulling her into his arms, scolding me for causing trouble for her. At the hospital, he comforted her, telling me I was just an "old woman"—that he was long over me, and I couldn’t even compare to her. This time, I didn’t wait for an explanation. I left him with a divorce agreement and my wedding ring. I packed my bags and went to Italy to study abroad. He thought it was just a game to make him stay, and didn’t care at all. Until six months later, when he saw a photo of Jack Grayson and me kissing passionately in the rain. He shoved his first love aside, hopped on the fastest flight, and appeared right in front of me. Jack smiled at him and said: "Are you here to congratulate us on our engagement, dear ex-husband?"
I am carrying Alpha's only heir. Yet, at the wedding, he chose his Fated Mate. He accused me of lying about the pregnancy to gain sympathy. He ordered someone to bring a knife, wanting to see with his own eyes what was inside my belly. When he personally pulled out our dead child, he went mad.
The day Ulric and I went to finalize our divorce, Sanvnnah showed up at the courthouse too. With a triumphant smile, she gleefully announced that Ulric’s girlfriend was pregnant—and it was a boy. I turned my gaze to Ulric, whose eyes immediately darted away. Then I let out a cold laugh. Ulric couldn’t have children. So, whose baby was this?
I was diagnosed with acute leukemia the moment I found out York was dating another girl Winnie. My world shattered, and just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, his uncle appeared. On their wedding day, Winnie whispered something strange to me. After the wedding, York’s true face emerged. Yet, the truth ignited something fierce within me. I couldn’t stand by, not even at the cost of my life. I would fight, using every ounce of strength to save him from his own lies. And in my final moments, I realized—York had always been there, hidden in the shadows, loving me in his own twisted way. Even as I bled out, I knew—he had always been there.
In the eighth year of my union with my fated Alpha, Damien, I was abducted by a group of rogue werewolves. I cried out for help to my Alpha, Damien, through our mind link. He, however, was with his lover, Isabelle, at the hospital for a prenatal check-up. Not only did he not believe me, but he also thought I was using a new trick to deceive him and violently severed the link. After he cut the link, the rogue werewolves, in a bid to force Damien to appear, began a three-day livestream of my torture and murder on the dark web. Yet, Damien still believed I was acting, turning around to hold a grand bonding ceremony with Isabelle. It wasn't until my remains were found by the pack's trackers that this Alpha, who had always cast me aside like a worn-out shoe, finally lost his mind.
I am the top-ranked, beautiful professor at the Art Academy, and Tobias has always prided himself on having me as his wife. That year, while accompanying him on an artistic fieldwork, I slipped and fell off a cliff, gaining a two-inch scar on my right cheek. Depressed by my altered appearance, I found solace in his words; he would often say that he loved me for my soul more than my looks. This is what people call true love, right? If it weren’t for what I saw in the studio, I would have continued to believe that: A delicate and beautiful female model was straddling him, her moans soft as spring water, her body undulating. Tobias’s voice was hoarse, his eyes filled with infatuation. "Honey, you’re so beautiful," he said. With his back to the door, he had no idea I stood there witnessing the entire scene, tears in my eyes. He also didn’t know that the scar beneath my bandage had already healed. I had planned to surprise him by revealing it today. But now, I suddenly don't want to tell him anymore.
Miles Anderson was once the golden boy of the Music Academy. For me, he beat up a powerful teacher and got expelled. He became a dropout, scorned by everyone. And I graduated smoothly, becoming a music producer. The vast disparity between us gradually drove him to the brink. I endured his endless torment without complaint. The moment I received my cancer diagnosis, I let out a sigh of relief.
In my most destitute year, I walked out on him. I even had his child aborted. Before I knew it, I was with the Alpha of the Moonstone Group. Consumed with grief and rage, he fled overseas. Within two short years, he rose to become the new Alpha of the publicly listed Bright Moon Group and gained global renown as a master of post-mortem restoration. Upon his return, he vowed to find me and make my life a living hell. Then my mother brought a disfigured corpse to his home, begging him to restore it to its former appearance. Alpha Macus had no idea that the corpse he meticulously restored was none other than me—the very person he loathed most.
Everyone in the Blackwood Pack knew I was the most pathetic Luna in the werewolf world. For love, I had sacrificed my pride as a mate and the primal instincts of my inner wolf. I allowed my Alpha, Damian, to miss our sacred full moon nights year after year, just so he could help his one true love, Serena, perform a dangerous ancient ritual. I endured his coldness, even altering the unique mark of our bond on my body to hide the fact that he had never truly claimed me. I offered him my whole heart, my devotion tireless. Until the fifth year of our bond, when the prodigal son finally returned. All the pack members congratulated me, saying my devotion had finally been rewarded. What no one knew was my secret: I'm lithromantic. And when he finally offered his affection, all I could do was gently push him away. "I can love you, but you can't love me."
For eight years, I was in a secret relationship with my father's Chief Enforcer, Peyton Brooks. “Gemma, when I get back from the mission, we’ll have our bonding ceremony.” For that promise, I waited five years. He returned missing an eye, with a she-wolf. "I wish to leave the pack," he told my father, the Alpha. "With my new mate, and our pup." The pack expected me to tear her throat out. Instead, I gave her the obsidian pendant he'd given me. Then I chose a new mate. The most powerful Alpha in the alliance. On the day of my bonding ceremony, Peyton aimed a sniper rifle at my new mate and roared at me. "Gemma, if you dare bond with him, I'll put a silver bullet in his skull."
My mate, Damien, in order to inherit the Alpha title of the ancient Midnight Crest Clan, had to obey the Alpha King's command. He was to sleep with his stepmother, Betty, until she bore him an heir. Damien promised me it was only temporary. "Mira, you're the one I truly love." "Once Betty is pregnant, we'll have our bonding ceremony, and I'll make you my one and only Luna." A year later, Betty was pregnant. And I realized that Damien's heart and his power had long belonged to her. My last shred of hope vanished. I turned to my seven-year-old daughter. "Sweetheart, do you want to leave with Mommy?" "Yes, I want to be with Mommy," she said. What Damien didn't know was that I had never wanted the title of Luna. All I ever wanted was his undivided love. If he couldn't give me that, then I would leave.
My husband, because of a joke from his secretary, caused me to lose my seven-month pregnancy. I lay weakly on the hospital bed, looking at the secretary's newly updated social media post. "Those who are not loved are the third wheel, third wheels don't deserve to have children! Only true love deserves it!" The photo shows her and Xing Zhao in an intimate pose. The woman is wearing a crop top, and Xing Zhao's hand is carefully placed on her belly. This time, I didn't argue or make a fuss. I just quietly packed my luggage and bought a ticket to go abroad in eight days!
On our wedding night, he caressed my face, whispering tenderly: "Honey, shall we have a child?" Two years, five pregnancies, five miscarriages. I thought it was fate playing tricks on me and prayed fervently to God every day. When the pregnancy test showed two glaring red lines, I couldn’t wait to tell him the good news, only to be greeted by a court summons! "...accusing Anya Everhart of multiple miscarriages, causing the husband mental distress, and the marriage is on the verge of breaking up. The prenuptial agreement is in effect, requiring compensation for all expenses during the marriage..." I rushed to the law firm and overheard his conversation with his partner— "You’re indeed ruthless, Chongwen. If you want to be with Chloe Rhodes, just divorce her. Why splash all the dirt on Anya Everhart?" "That fool is so madly in love with me. Only by burdening her with enormous debt will she have no time to cling to me." "She’s truly pathetic, having miscarried five times for you. Her uterus must be ruined, right? Will anyone want such damaged goods?" "For the rest of her life, she’ll have to work like a horse to pay me back!" I suddenly realized, the sweet words from our wedding night were nothing but a death sentence!
