The Timer of Death
After three miscarriages for Xavier Lowe, I see it—my mother-in-law has three years left, my father-in-law nine years, and my sister-in-law two years.
I say nothing.
After the third miscarriage, my mother-in-law blames me, calling me a curse who "kills" children.
My sister-in-law sneers, saying she almost died in a car crash the year I married Xavier—as if my bad luck dragged her down.
My mother-in-law snaps, "She can't even keep a child. It must be because she's cursed!"
Xavier just stands there, silent. He doesn't say a single word for me. I know that, deep down, he believes that I bring bad luck. Maybe it's also because he already has someone else—his secretary, Yvette Snyder.
His mother has always liked her better, and he clung to her the night I lost my third child.
I don't explain because I know the truth will only destroy them faster.
On my 28th birthday, I catch a glimpse of my own countdown in the mirror. On that day, I take a leave of absence. I go to the funeral home and pick out an urn—pure white, just like the wedding dress I once wore.
Wearing a beautiful floral dress, I text Xavier, asking him to meet me at the lake where we first met ten years ago.
I wait from daylight until nightfall as my countdown ticks to zero.
I die, and he never shows up.

The Third Year After My Death
Three years ago, I was the most promising member of the Scientific Expedition Team.
After entering Salakole, I was killed by my fiancé's true love, Vivian Fowler.
She stole my supplies, scratched my face, and pushed me off the ship.
I died with my second child in my belly.
But when the rescue team came, Vivian said I had stolen her supplies and was going to flee.
My fiancé, Winston Patton, wrote a report and erased me from the expedition team.
From then on, I became a joke. All the people on the team looked down on me.
Until three years later, someone discovered my long-frozen body.

A Sick Romance
The little boy I had saved when we were kids grew up to be a possessive, obsessive CEO.
For ten years, he kept me by his side, using my grandmother's illness as a bargaining chip to force me into marrying him.
He tried everything to win my heart, pulling every trick in the book, but no matter what he did, he could never make me love him.
In a fit of rage, he found a woman who looked almost exactly like me to take my place.
They flaunted their relationship for everyone to see, and people whispered that the CEO had finally found his true love.
But that day, the woman, riding on his affection, barged into the villa with her entourage.
She broke my fingers one by one, slashed my face with a utility knife, and removed my clothes to humiliate me.
"Even though you had surgery to look like me, I'll let that slide. But you even learned to paint like me, too? You really did your homework. Let's see how you try to seduce men now!"
Just as I was bleeding out and on the verge of death, the obsessive CEO finally showed up.
The stand-in grabbed my hair and dragged me in front of him, smugly reporting, "Honey, this wench was hiding in the villa trying to seduce you. I've made sure she can't succeed!"
Sorry, but You're Not My Groom
A video of my boyfriend proposing to his secretary makes it to the trending topics. Everyone squeals over how romantic and touching it is.
His secretary even posts on social media, "I've waited so long for you to appear, and I'm glad I didn't give up. I'll leave my life in your hands, Mr. Emerson."
One of the comments goes, "God, this is so sweet. A CEO and his secretary—I ship them!"
I don't weep or cause a fuss. Instead, I close the webpage and ask my boyfriend for an explanation.
That's when I hear him talking to his friends. "I didn't have a choice. She would've been forced to marry someone she doesn't love if I didn't help her."
"What about Vicky? She's your actual girlfriend. Aren't you afraid of her getting mad?"
"So what if she is? She's been with me for seven years—she can't live without me."
Later, I have my wedding on the same day as his. Our cars drive past each other, and I exchange bouquets with his secretary. When he sees me, he breaks down.
Left Behind on My Wedding Day
On my wedding day, the first love of my boyfriend appeared and declared she wanted my place at the altar.
Sobbing theatrically, she pleaded, "Claire, I’m seriously ill. You have your whole life to be with Evan. Just let me have this wedding."
And my boyfriend backed her up without hesitation. "Claire, you’re already pregnant with my child, and we’ve signed the marriage papers. You’ve got everything you need. This wedding? It doesn’t matter."
The guests gawked, while I stood there as the punchline of their jokes.
But instead of causing a scene, I kept my composure. That same day, I booked an abortion and looked his first love straight in the eye with a smile.
"Sure, take the wedding, and take him too. He’s all yours."
Rebirth of the Scheming Queen
The day Yancy Shepherd died, Benedict Page poisoned our dinner. His eyes were wild, and bloodshot, as he watched me writhe in agony. There was a madness in his gaze, but worse was the hatred, a disgust so deep it twisted his face into something unrecognizable.
"If it weren't for you forcing your way into our lives, Yancy wouldn’t have died from heartbreak. You ruined us! It’s all your fault!"
A photo slipped from his trembling hand and landed at my feet—Yancy at twenty, looking radiant, her smile as bright as a blooming flower.
I collapsed to the ground, my strength fading fast like a rose withering in the final grasp of winter. Helpless, I waited for the darkness to claim me, consumed by despair and bitter regret.
Why hadn’t I listened to the system and killed him when I had the chance?
But when I opened my eyes again, everything was different. I stood watching Benedict flee our engagement ceremony. My brother moved to chase after him, but I quietly raised a hand, stopping him. This time, things would be different.
A New Dawn, A Different Path
I find out I'm about two months pregnant before my wedding.
Luke Logan drunkenly caresses my belly and half-jokes, "I'm not ready to be a father, Summer. Can we not keep the baby?"
My heart is calm. I say softly, "Sure."
In my past life, I insisted on keeping the child. Meanwhile, Riley Richards had an accidental miscarriage, making it difficult for her to conceive again.
Luke held a grudge against me for that and treated me coldly after we married. As for the son that I put one foot in the coffin to bring into this world, he, too, cried and fussed. He wanted Riley to be his mother.
Later, I got into an accident and suffered from significant blood loss. However, Luke and our son merely hurried past me to be with Riley as she went into labor.
I slowly bled to death on the floor above, while Luke and our son celebrated the birth of Riley's child on the floor below.
Now that I've been reborn, I won't lose sight of myself and take the wrong path again.
I call Eric Nottingham. "I'll join the expedition team to Glacia."
Dissected by My Fiance After Death
A year ago, I was a rising star in the legal world. But everything changed when I uncovered evidence that my fiance's first love had caused an accident. She lured me to an abandoned factory and ruined my face, then pushed me into a toxic asphalt pit and left me to drown.
Little did they know, I was pregnant with my fiance's child when I died. After my death, he had the audacity to claim that I had accepted money from a murderer and had fled the country. His actions turned me into a pariah.
Meanwhile, he and his precious first love walked down the aisle together.
A year later, the abandoned factory I had died in was being demolished, and someone stumbled upon my body in that asphalt pit.
Scorched
Tristan Moreno and I are asked when we're getting married when we attend a class reunion.
"We're undecided."
"1st of October."
Our answers come simultaneously. His head shoots up, and he looks at me with anger and disbelief. I ignore him and explain to my classmates, "I'm getting married on the 1st of October. You're all invited."
I know what Tristan wants to ask me. He and I have dated for eight years, but he's never discussed marriage with me.
He drags me to a corner, looking furious. "Didn't we agree to put marriage on hold? Do you take pleasure in forcing me into this?"
I pry his fingers off my wrist and say, "You can put it on hold for as long as you want. That doesn't stop me from getting married."
He's long since gotten bored of me—he's found a younger woman but thinks he's done well in keeping it a secret.
Fortunately, he's not the man I'm marrying.
Hey Sis, You Can Keep the Trash
Three months before my wedding, my fiancé, Henry Siebert, decided it was the perfect time to drop a maternity photo shoot on social media—with my foster sister, Betty Foster.
The caption? Oh, just this gem:
[Legally welcoming our little one into the world.]
Betty added a shy emoji. And my mom? She liked the post and wrote:
[Once the baby is born, I'll help take care of it so you two can enjoy your time together as a couple.]
I couldn't help myself. I replied with a single question mark. And then Henry's DMs came in hot:
[She's just borrowing me for a year to get married. Once the baby's born, I'll come back to you.]
Where Snow Can't Follow
On the day of Lucas' engagement, he managed to get a few lackeys to keep me occupied, and by the time I stepped out the police station, done with questioning, it was already dark outside.
Arriving home, I stood there on the doorstep and eavesdropped on Lucas and his friends talking about me.
"I was afraid she'd cause trouble, so I got her to spend the whole day at the police station. I made sure that everything would be set in stone by the time she got out."
Shaking my head with a bitter laugh, I blocked all of Lucas' contacts and went overseas without any hesitation.
That night, Lucas lost all his composure, kicking over a table and smashing a bottle of liquor, sending glass shards flying all over the floor. "She's just throwing a tantrum because she's jealous… She'll come back once she gets over it…"
What he didn't realize, then, was that this wasn't just a fit of anger or a petty tantrum.
This time, I truly didn't want him anymore.
Alpha Ashier's Salvation
Orange Pen
“I will never accept you as my mate, all I want is for you to keep warming my bed,” Alpha Ashier grabbed Blair’s hand and pinned her to the bed.
“I don’t want to keep warming your bed, I don’t want to do this. Let me go,” she screamed.
“You have nowhere to go, I own you, and your body belongs to me,” he yelled and bit her neck.

Submissive to Your Love

One day, my family goes bankrupt, and I'm forced to become an escort. He looks at me imperiously as I kneel on the floor. He says coldly, "I'll pay you a hundred thousand dollars to let me smell you once."
Our Love Ends Here
"System, I request to leave the mission world."
The summoned system quickly appeared. "Ms. Young, your request has been approved. You have half a month to say goodbye to your family in this world." With that said, the system disappeared again.
Andrea Young paused for a long time at the mention of the word "Family" before slowly looking toward the family photo on the table beside her.
In the photo, her husband and son were each lovingly kissing her cheeks. The happiness captured in that moment suddenly left her stunned.
No one knew Andrea was on a mission. Ten years ago, the system brought her into this world to win the heart of Gabriel Fulton, the crown prince of Capital City.

Orange Pen
“I, Alpha King Lucian, reject you; Bree Shipman as my mate,” Lucian growled and pinned her to the wall.
“After all we did?” Bree broke into tears.
“All of that was a mistake, I will never be with a woman like you. You are a slave and a murderer,” he yelled.
“I didn’t kill her,” Bree retorted.

No More, Never Again
Three years into my marriage with Shawn, I found out I was pregnant.
I nervously but joyfully prepared to surprise him with the news.
Yet what I received was the news of Shawn’s accidental death.
Devastated by the blow, I miscarried the child and killed myself in despair.
However, after death, I saw him drinking and mocking me with his rowdy friends.
“Samantha is so dumb. I can’t believe she really fell for that prank. Does she really think I’d be fooled by her? I’m not an idiot like her. What, she’s pregnant? If she was going to make up something to fool me, she should have at least made it more believable.”
But our child really was gone, and I had really died.
