On the day before the marking ceremony, my Alpha mate, Zev Briarwood, is wounded in a battle and loses his memory. He forgets everything… including me. To help him restore his memories and Alpha pride, I go all out. I seek out an evil witch to trade my precious heartblood and fangs for her magic, nearly dying in the process. I sketch jewelry designs day and night, selling them just to earn money and to find every possible memory cure. When I drag my battered body to visit Zev at the clinic, I overhear him laughing with his buddies. "Your acting's next level, Zev! Kira still hasn't figured out you're faking it, and you've delayed the marking ceremony!" A buddy snickers. Zev gulps his wine and grins. "I'm definitely winning the bet that I'd sleep with 100 women at parties. Once I've had my fun, I'll go back to her for my mate duties and complete that marking ceremony."

Amara (23 tahun) bermodalkan nekat meminta Zean Elkira (22 tahun) menikah bersamanya. Perbuatannya itu terbilang gila mengingat Zean adalah putra sulung keluarga Elkira yang terkenal sangat tampan dan kaya raya. Walaupun Amara sangat yakin satu miliar persen dia akan ditolak. Secara ajaib dia diterima bahkan tanpa syarat apapun. Amara sendiri adalah perempuan yang biasa saja jika dilihat dari sudut pandang orang berkasta terendah. Tapi kalau memakai kacamata orang seperti Zean yang standarnya berada di level yang jauh berbeda. Mereka bagaikan langit dan inti bumi, mutiara dan batu, yang nilai dan jaraknya sangat berjauhan. Di hari pernikahan mereka, Amara tidak mendapati satupun anggota keluarga Elkira yang datang. Kecuali Reyzen, adik Zean, yang bahkan pulang sebelum acara pernikahan selesai. Seperti apa sebenernya keluarga Elkira? Dan yang lebih penting kenapa Zean mau menikah?

"Basically, I, Jones Jackson begged to hug you and we fell asleep on my bed?" "Yes, that's exactly what it is," she maintained. "Did we...? Did you..?" His brows furrowed as his mind flashed him a thousand scenarios of what could have gone wrong. "Did I what?" "Ah, never mind, I could never with you." He shook the vague thoughts away, he didn't like her one bit so attaining that level of intimacy was implausible even under the influence of alcohol. Like she could hear his thoughts, she reflected them, "oh, that could never happen, boss, you're not my type of man. If it's okay, can I leave now?" This diminutive girl always found a way to hurt the Almighty Jackson's ego. ~~~ Maria needs an urgent way to get to the top of her career, and Jackson needs a wife to get out of trouble. These two adopt a means of using each other for their specific purposes, till their contract becomes more than they ever bargained for.

After Penelope Hart, a rich socialite, loses her memories, she starts pursuing me relentlessly. Having played the role of her boyfriend for the next three years, I realize that I've developed actual feelings for her. When Penelope gets pregnant, I plan on proposing to her. That's when I hear Jonathan Parker, the high school senior who used to bully me, tell her, "Penelope, thank you for pretending to be amnesiac and pull a prank on Edward for 99 times just to get revenge for me. "Once you've pulled the 100th prank on him, I'll date you." Only then do I find out that Jonathan is the man Penelope has been yearning for but can't date the whole time. As for me, I'm just the clown whom she uses just to please Jonathan. Later on, I die in a plane crash. After searching for my remains like a lunatic in the wreckage, Penelope finally locates a ring. A message is carved on the band. "For the 100th prank, I bet you love me." Rumors have it that Penelope has cried her heart out while on her knees to the point that her body goes into shock, resulting in her getting sent to the hospital. When she wakes up, she decides to get revenge on everyone who's involved in the pranks that were used on me. I, on the other hand, burn my medical records with a smile on my face on a winter night in Ferentia. Since Penelope decides to toy with my feelings with her fake amnesia, I decide to fake my death so that I can teach her a proper lesson in life.

Aku punya sembilan nyawa, dan enam nyawa sudah kuhabiskan untuk Rico. Kali pertama, aku tertimbun dalam longsoran salju saat mencoba menyelamatkannya. Air dari lelehan salju memenuhi mulut dan hidungku. Kali kedua, aku diburu oleh musuhnya dan ditusuk 24 kali hingga tubuhku hancur lebur. Awalnya, dia gemetar dan berjanji tidak akan menyakitiku lagi. Pada kali ketujuh, dia sudah terbiasa dan sengaja menabrakkan mobilnya padaku hanya untuk menyenangkan seorang wanita. "Nyawanya nggak ada harganya. Asal kamu bahagia, dengan senang hati aku suruh dia mati 99 kali." "Kamu mau lihat kematian macam apa lagi? Aku akan mengaturnya sesuai keinginanmu." Aku terhempas sepuluh meter jauhnya seperti baju bekas yang terkoyak. Darah segar mengucur dari mulut dan hidungku. Namun, aku tersenyum dan menghitung dengan jariku. "Dua kali lagi, utang budiku akan terbayar lunas." Rico Sarihan tidak tahu aku hanya punya sembilan nyawa. Setelah aku mati untuk kesembilan kalinya, aku tidak akan kembali lagi. Ironisnya, saat aku benar-benar mati, dia memeluk erat mayatku yang hangus dan berbau busuk itu, tidak mau lepas. Air matanya bercucuran tak terkendali. "Tiara, kumohon bangunlah. Jangan tega begini sama aku. Kelak aku nggak akan biarkan siapa pun menyakitimu lagi." Sayangnya, tidak akan ada lagi seseorang yang menghapus air matanya dengan tangan gemetar berlumuran darah.

Diana, seorang ilmuwan jenius dengan spesialisasi perilaku hewan, tewas dalam kecelakaan laboratorium. Ketika dia membuka matanya kembali, dia telah bertransmigrasi menjadi "Iblis Bulan Merah" dalam novel fantasi binatang yang pernah dia baca sekilas. Dia bukanlah sang tokoh utama yang polos dan dicintai semua orang, melainkan antagonis wanita yang kejam dan haus kuasa, pemimpin klan serigala hitam yang ditakuti, yang memiliki sembilan pasangan semua penguasa klan hewan yang kuat dan dominan. Nasibnya lebih buruk dari sekadar karakter yang dibenci: dunia memberinya sebuah "Sistem Pasangan Sempurna" dengan misi tunggal: *"Tingkatkan ikatan romantis dengan ke-9 pasanganmu hingga level 'Cinta Sejati' sebelum bulan purnama kesembilan. Gagal = penghapusan jiwa."* Diana yang rasional terperangah. Dia harus menggunakan kecerdasannya—bukan untuk meraih Nobel, tapi untuk memanipulasi hati sembilan raja binatang yang keras kepala, sambil menghadapi intrik harem, persaingan klan, dan warisan kebencian yang ditinggalkan tubuh lamanya. Semua demi bertahan hidup.

Di malam valentine, aku bertemu dengan sahabat kecil tunanganku di depan sebuah bar. Dia tampak seperti habis diracuni, tak sadarkan diri. Kali ini, aku pura-pura tidak melihatnya dan langsung berbalik pergi. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, aku sama sekali tidak mengenalnya. Karena niat baik, aku menolongnya. Tapi, malah tanpa sengaja melihat ada tato nama tunanganku di tulang selangkanya. Awalnya, aku kira itu hanya salah paham. Tapi sesaat kemudian, saat aku membantu mengangkat teleponnya, aku mendengar suara tunanganku dari ponselnya. Karena marah dan cemburu, aku pun memutuskan sambungan telepon itu dan mengabaikan 99 panggilan tak terjawab darinya. Aku baru pergi setelah memastikan dia sudah baik-baik saja di hotel milik keluargaku. Siapa sangka, dia malah menjadi korban pelecehan malam itu. Karena merasa memalukan, dia memilih mengakhiri hidupnya. Setelah kebenaran terungkap, tunanganku tetap pura-pura tidak tahu apa-apa, bahkan tetap menggelar pesta pernikahan megah untukku. Namun, di hari aku mengetahui kehamilanku, dia malah mematahkan kedua kakiku dan mengurungku di rumah. Aku sangat terpuruk dan bertanya kenapa padanya. Dia malah tertawa gila-gilaan. “Kalau bukan karenamu, Luna nggak akan jadi korban pelecehan, dia juga nggak akan bunuh diri! Ini semua salahmu!” Tak kusangka, saat membuka mata lagi, aku malah kembali ke hari di mana aku bertemu sahabat kecilnya di depan bar.

On the seventh year of our anniversary, the anniversary gift my husband, Anthony Walker, has given me is a divorce agreement that is valid for seven days. He has planned all this just because he has his eye on a female intern in his company, who is seven years younger than him. So, he wants to be in a legitimate relationship with her that only lasts for seven days. On the first day, they reserve an entire cinema for themselves. After that, they make love to each other from the doorway to the seats. On the second day, they set off fireworks at the beach. The fireworks are so bright that half of the city is illuminated by them. On the fifth day, the intern, Tanya Lindt, barges into my art exhibition. With tears running down her face, she accuses me of being the side chick in her relationship in front of the mass media. That night, news of a rising female painter becoming a homewrecker for the sake of love goes viral. More than 100 thousand malicious comments directed at me are posted in the comment section. On the sixth day, Anthony apologizes to me on Tanya's behalf. Apparently, the punishment he has set for her is that she's not allowed to go shopping for three days. On the seventh day, Anthony finally realizes that something is wrong. He calls me 99 times just to remind me that we'll get remarried the next day. "Okay," I say to him. Then, I inform my assistant to check in my baggage. What Anthony doesn't know is that I already came up with a plan to further my studies overseas seven days ago. This time, I'm not going to waste my time on him anymore.

Setelah menggoda suamiku yang religius sebanyak 99 kali, suamiku akhirnya melanggar pantangannya demi diriku dan bermesraan denganku selama tiga hari tiga malam. Aku mengira dia akhirnya mencintaiku. Tapi, saat sedang merapikan ruang kerja, tidak sengaja aku menemukan pesan di komputernya. Dia mengirimkan video pribadiku kepada kakakku, Tamara Gunadi. [Biar abis ini dia nggak bakal ngejar-ngejar aku lagi. Kamu tenang aja Rara, sampai mati pun aku nggak bakal nyentuh dia. Orang yang aku sayang cuma kamu.] Tamara mengirimkan pesan suara berdurasi 60 detik, suaranya terdengar centil dan menggoda. "William, aku beneran terharu banget! Nggak nyangka kamu demi ngejaga kesucianku, malah nyuruh banyak orang buat mainin dia. Kira-kira kalau suatu saat dia tahu yang sebenernya, dia bakal marah nggak ya sama aku?" Suara William yang serak terdengar penuh tekanan dan menahan diri. "Emangnya dia berani? Seujung rambut kamu pun dia nggak bisa tandingin. Dia itu gatel banget, ada orang yang mau make dia saja sudah untung." "Lagian, semua foto syur sama video itu ada di aku. Kalaupun dia tau, dia nggak bakal punya muka buat nyalahin siapa-siapa." Tamara mengirimkan beberapa foto pribadi dengan pakaian minim. "William, bantuin aku lihat dong, gaya aku yang ini gimana? Apa kakinya harusnya dibuka lebih lebar lagi?"
