I sell burritos in a horror game. All the ghosts would come to my place and buy a tasty burrito after they got off work. That was until one day, my ex-husband, who was obsessed with abusing me, joined the game as a player. He brought a group of people to my store and trashed the place. They ruined all the ingredients I had. When the Bosses finished their overtime and saw their pre-ordered burritos on the ground in pieces, their eyes became dark, and they were immediately infuriated. The Patchwork Monster was so angry that the stitches on its body were beginning to break. It started ripping the players apart. The Eight-Armed Maiden’s hair fanned out and pierced many players. The Wedding Dress Maiden suddenly became a giant and started eating the players one by one. The Bosses were willing to work overtime and maintain the operations of the dungeons overnight just so that they could have a burrito. That night, all the players were sleeping when they were forced to join a horror game.

It was not until my death that I realized my husband would not touch me because he was deeply in love with my best friend. The two spent their entire lives longing for each other, but never crossing the line, staying loyal from afar. Even my best friend's professor husband lived his life like a celibate monk. After being reborn, I seized the moment and held the professor's hand. "I like you. Let's be together." His eyes darkened as he replied, "Perfect. I feel the same." We instantly connected. However, this time, it was my husband and best friend who were not happy about it.

My best friend was a "mistress breakup consultant". I had lent her money to start her business, and her very first job turned out to be breaking up my own marriage. "Jessie, what's the point of a loveless marriage? You've wasted Harold's time for five years. Are you really going to keep clinging to him and making him miserable for the rest of his life?" my best friend asked. I laughed at the self-righteous nonsense she was spouting and had security escort her out. She came right back, though, this time with a so-called "Anti-Mistress Alliance", live-streaming the chaos as they broke into my company. "The one who isn't loved is the real intruder!" "Fight for love at all costs!" They chanted while smashing up my office. I watched them calmly, waiting until they wore themselves out before pulling out a contract. "The 100,000 dollars you borrowed from me has been overdue for six months. If you don't repay it soon, I'll be forced to take legal action. "And, the lab equipment you've destroyed is valued at 5,550,000 dollars. You'll need to compensate me at full price. "Otherwise, I'll see you in court."

On the night of Halloween, my best friend, Mina Corvelle, rushes to save the black cat before me, triumph dancing in her eyes. That is when I, Elora Aldridge, realize that she has been reincarnated, too. In my past life, she scorned the stray for being filthy, so she kept her distance. So, it was I who took pity on the cat and rescued it. When I walked past an old blind woman manning a roadside stall, she told me that the cat was a rare dark fortune cat. Once it recognized a master, it would draw dark riches from all directions and bring unimaginable wealth. I dismissed it as superstition. Yet, the very next day, I was inexplicably promoted to director of the department. Soon after, my family's dilapidated old house found itself part of a redevelopment scheme, and we were given compensation of eight apartments and 30 million dollars in cash. Even the enigmatic golden boy of Lakeshire, Cassian Mercer, started to pursue me relentlessly, declaring that he would only marry me and no one else. But not long after I married Cassian, Mina trapped me—and the black cat—inside the apartment. She then set it on fire, burning us alive. Outside the inferno, she screamed, "Why should you get everything without even lifting a finger? All those riches should've been mine!" When I open my eyes again, I find myself back at the very intersection.

My roommate sets me up. She deliberately forces me into a death-trap survival game. As I shut my eyes and wait for death to take me, I realize that the game's bosses can read my mind. "Look at the blood spurting from this baby doll's neck. It's like a fountain of pee." The baby doll is baffled. It's about to launch its ultimate move, but it falters. "Man, look at how this guy is still sweeping the streets when he's so old. Does he not have a pension?" The old man is about to swallow me whole, but he suddenly gets a heart attack. An ambulance takes him away. "Oh, so this is the amusement park's owner. Oh, dear god, he's handsome, albeit a little skinny. I can send him flying with a kick!" The handsome owner's expression darkens. He instantly takes off his shirt to reveal his washboard abs. "Do you still think I'm skinny?"

I transmigrated into a dating-sim otome game where I was supposed to romance a soft, fragile male lead. I had finally pushed him onto the bed and was just about to make my move when the long-missing system finally popped back online. [Host, I sent you to the wrong game. This is a horror game.] [The man you’re bullying right now is the horror game final boss.] I lifted my head and met a pair of blood-red eyes staring straight at me. My smile froze. “Um… you look a little tired. Maybe we should… continue this another day?” He smiled back, calm and terrifying. “I’m not tired. Go on.”

Drei Jahre Ehe - und ich war zufrieden mit meinem Leben. Mein Mann, Felix Weber, war nicht nur attraktiv und wohlhabend, sondern auch unglaublich liebevoll, geduldig und immer ausgeglichen. In all den Jahren hatten wir nie wirklich gestritten, nie ein böses Wort miteinander gewechselt. Bis zu dem Tag, an dem ich ihn sah - den sonst so ruhigen und kontrollierten Felix. Er hatte eine Frau, offensichtlich seine große Liebe aus der Vergangenheit, an die Wand gedrängt. Mit einer Stimme, die vor Zorn und Schmerz bebte, „Du hast damals selbst entschieden, einen anderen zu heiraten! Mit welchem Recht kommst du jetzt zu mir?“, fragte er sie. Erst da begriff ich: Wenn er jemanden wirklich liebt, dann tut er das mit einer brennenden, ungezähmten Leidenschaft. Ich zog mich zurück, ließ mich scheiden und verschwand - spurlos. Bald darauf hörte ich Gerüchte, dass Sebastian den Verstand verloren haben soll. Angeblich habe er jede Ecke der Stadt durchforstet, als würde er die ganze Welt auf den Kopf stellen, nur um mich zu finden. Dieser selbstbeherrschte, disziplinierte Mann, verrückt - und das ausgerechnet wegen mir, seiner unscheinbaren Ex-Frau? Es schien absurd. Doch dann traf ich ihn wieder. Ich stand an der Seite eines anderen Mannes, als er plötzlich vor mir auftauchte. Ohne Vorwarnung packte er mein Handgelenk, seine Augen voller Verzweiflung, fast wahnsinnig. Mit einer Stimme, die kaum noch zu ihm zu gehören schien, flüsterte er: „Lena, ich habe einen Fehler gemacht. Bitte komm zurück zu mir.“ Und in diesem Moment wurde mir klar: Die Gerüchte hatten nicht übertrieben. Sebastian war wirklich außer sich.

Das Unternehmen von Anna Krügers Vater stand kurz vor dem Bankrott. Daher verheiratete ihre Stiefmutter sie mit einem einflussreichen Mann – Felix Bauer. Das Problem: er lag im Koma. Alle warteten darauf, dass sie Witwe wurde und die Bauers sie vor die Tür setzten. Doch schon bald erwachte Felix unerwartet aus dem Koma. Nach seinem Erwachen war er voller Wut über die Zwangsehe, düster und gewalttätig: „Anna, selbst wenn du mein Kind erwartest, werde ich es mit meinen eigenen Händen töten!“ Vier Jahre später kehrte Anna mit ihren hochbegabten Zwillingen – einem Jungen und einem Mädchen, ins Land zurück. Sie zeigte auf Felix' Gesicht in einer Wirtschaftssendung und warnte ihre Kinder: „Haltet euch von diesem Mann fern. Er hat geschworen, euch beide umzubringen.“ Noch am selben Abend hackte sich einer der Zwillinge in Felix' Computer und hinterließ eine Kampfansage: „Du Mistkerl, komm und krieg mich doch, wenn du dich traust!“

I was raised by my mother, a single parent who never revealed the identity of my father. For years, that part of my life remained a mystery until her final moments. With her last breath, she asked me to find him. I shared this with my best friend, who had never known her own parents. With tears in her eyes, she confided in me that she longed for a father, too. She tried to manipulate me, suggesting I work as a housekeeper for my father so she could claim him as her own. Soft-hearted, I agreed to the plan. When I finally met him, he was stunned. The resemblance between me and his first love was undeniable. He wanted to take me under his wing as his mistress. "Come to my room tonight and wear something… revealing," he said. To protect myself, I laid all my cards on the table.

My best friend has always been stingy to the bone, so the moment she volunteers to buy a bottle of water for the heir to Bellaris' most powerful family, who collapsed from heatstroke, I know she has been reborn, too. In my previous life, she and I sat for the college entrance exam together, and when the results were announced, we both got the same high score. Both of us had our eyes on Kingsley University, yet the admissions quota was limited, and neither of us wanted to jeopardize our friendship, so we kept delaying our application. In the blink of an eye, it was the last day to file our applications, and as I was about to start on mine, I stumbled upon the heir to Bellaris' most powerful family, who happened to be suffering from heatstroke. I not only bought him a bottle of water, but I also held an umbrella over him until he came to. By the time he regained consciousness, I had already missed the submission deadline. My best friend submitted hers just in time and got accepted into Kingsley University. Because I never submitted mine, the opportunity to attend university slipped past me. However, the heir apparent was touched by my act of kindness, and he asked for my hand in marriage. In the end, I married him and became a socialite, whereas my best friend, despite getting into Kingsley University, was overwhelmed by the demanding curriculum. Watching me live with more money than I could spend, she was fueled with jealousy until one day, she snapped and stabbed me. The moment I open my eyes again, my best friend and I are back on the day the heir to Bellaris' most powerful family passes out from the heat.
