"It started as a prank. So...how did I end up on my knees for my neighbor in his office?" Zoe Justice (20) is finally free—no dorm rules, no nosy RAs, no lukewarm cafeteria mac and cheese. With her grandparents’ inheritance and a playlist full of bangers, she’s ready to celebrate her first night as a bona fide homeowner. New digs, new vibes, and definitely a party worthy of the milestone. She expected a few noise complaints and maybe a fussy neighbor or two. But she didn’t expect the cops to roll up before 9 p.m. and shut down the whole thing like it was some kind of crime scene. Apparently, someone across the street didn’t appreciate her welcome-home energy. And when Zoe spotted him—the smug, too-serious man on the porch, standing there like he owned the cul-de-sac—she knew exactly where the betrayal came from. So naturally, she let her middle fingers and death glare do the talking. Veterinarian or not, Mr. Peace-and-Quiet was officially on her list. And she? She wasn’t going down without a little payback. But what happens when the prank war turns into a love affair neither of them saw coming?

I was getting a spa treatment at a beauty salon when Phoebe called. "I just saw Derrick buying jewelry for a woman at the mall." "Got it." "Aren't you going to catch him in the act?" "No need." I gave birth three months ago. After the spa, I needed to hit the gym, and by five, I had to pick up William. I had no time for this nonsense.

「宿主、あなたはすでに伊賀修司（いが しゅうじ）の攻略を8回挑戦していました。現在の好感度は99%。これまでで最高の数値です。 もう一度攻略すれば、成功の確率は極めて高いと予測されます！ 9回目の攻略を選びますか？それとも、リスクを取って攻略対象を変更しますか？」 システムの声を聞きながら、白鳥暖子（しらとり あつこ）はこれまでの8度の攻略を思い出した。 どんな身分で近づいても、修司には毎回、正体を見破られてきた。 最初は地震の中、彼を助けて命を落とした。 そのときは、ほんの少しだけど、彼も悲しんでくれた。 でも、彼が暖子が「復活」して再び自分に近づいてくるのを知ってからは、少しずつ彼女を人間として見なさなくなった。 7回目の死は、別荘の火事だった。 彼は、本命の飼い犬を助けに行けと命じた。 炎に焼かれて死んだあの痛みは、今でも思い出すだけで体が震える。 目を閉じて、かすれた声で暖子は答える。 「はい、変更する」 「了解しました。9回目の転生後、新たな攻略対象に変更します」 ……

Two months. For other people, it was not long enough. But for Rainnance Verdadero, it's like she was in jail for almost a year.

People who thought he was still alive eventually lost hope due to his long disappearance. But as his wife, Rain never let herself give up with him. In the end, Rain choose to leave to look for her husband on her own. And she finds herself in Palawan. But she couldn't believe that she would find him there. . . with another woman. But what shocked her the most was that her husband did not know her. He was trying to push her away. He don't want to believe her. He emotionally and physically hurt her.

From my earliest memories, my entire family is cold and distant toward me. When my parents look at my younger sister, Claire Lloyd, their eyes fill with warmth and joy. Yet, when they turn to me, only disgust remains. Claire's life is filled with applause and excessive love, while mine is filled with disdain and suffering. When the explosion erupts at the street corner, I save the stranger beside me. Later, I learn he is Byron Whitmore, a mafia family's Don. He begins pursuing me after I rescue him. Later, I quit my job and move to a new place, but he finds me and proposes in 100 different ways. "Why me?" I ask countless times. "Because it's you," he always answers. The wedding causes a sensation throughout the city. I truly seem to have transformed from an ugly duckling into a swan. That is, until I'm five months pregnant, when Claire needs a transfusion of rare Rh-negative blood after a car accident. The blood bank has a shortage. Because of that, my parents knock me unconscious and send me to the hospital. In my daze, the blood extraction machine hums continuously. As two thousand milliliters of blood leave my body, I see Byron. Tears well up in my eyes. I begin thinking he's here to save me. Instead, I hear him say, "We can't take any more. Sharon and the baby will die." "But Claire has lost too much blood. She'll die, too..." My mother pleads. "No one wants Claire safe more than I do." Byron's voice is thick with pain. "She's my first love. I've never forgotten her. I only married Sharon because her face looks so much like Claire's. "But I can't trade her life for Claire's. Trust me—I'll find another way." So, that's his reason for marrying me. The blood extraction machine continues running, but my heart has already stopped beating. The affection I see in his eyes has never been for me. He's always looking through me at someone else. Everyone in the world loves Claire, and Byron is not the exception that I foolishly believe him to be. That grand wedding is nothing but an ugly duckling's self-deceiving fantasy.
