  • Ashes of Greed

    My husband, Gao Ming, was in a terrible car accident—he was gravely injured and on the brink of death. The doctors told me that even if they tried, saving him would be nearly futile, and they urged me to prepare myself for the worst.

    Well, I was more than ready. With a dismissive wave of my hand, I declared, “Don’t trouble the hospital—let him go.”

    I had the death certificate drawn up, his household registration canceled, and within six hours, he had turned to ashes. I patted his urn and said, “Oh, Gao Ming, you really were such a good man!”

    He left behind a vast fortune, and dying so young without a will meant I inherited two-thirds of everything. Isn’t that the most thoughtful thing ever? My husband, Gao Ming, died in an accident and left me a huge inheritance—what could be more considerate?

  • Rebirth of Vengeance: The Twin Sisters’ Revenge

    In my past life, my younger sister was adopted by a wealthy family, while I was taken in as a child bride.

    Years later, she leaped from a high-rise building, while I clawed my way out of the darkness, blooming like a flower in the abyss.

    Before she died, she had smiled at me and said, “Sister, if it were you, you wouldn’t have lived such a miserable life, would you?”

    Now, in this second life, our fates have been reversed.

    I am the blazing sun that shines in the daylight, while she is the vengeful ghost crawling through the night.

  • Cinderella in Shadows

    I, the Cinderella Targeted by a Rich Second-Generation Heir

    The young stepmother of a rich second-generation heir asked to meet me. “I’ll give you twenty million if you break up with my son.”

    “How much is your son worth? I’ll buy him,” I replied.

    Her eyes lit up. “Ten million flat, take it or leave it.”

    “Fine. I’m done with him.”

    In movies and TV shows, the Cinderella targeted by a rich second-generation heir follows a pretty predictable script.

    First, she has to work part-time and study hard. She ties her hair in a simple ponytail, goes bare-faced, and wears a faded white t-shirt and old, worn jeans. And, of course, she carries a big backpack — the same one from high school.

    I’ve always followed that script.

  • The Mother-in-Law’s Secret

    That day, I only went home to grab something, but what I stumbled upon has haunted me ever since. The moment I stepped inside, I heard a man’s voice coming from my mother-in-law’s room—low, unfamiliar, and completely out of place.

    Driven by instinct, I moved closer, holding my breath. What I heard next stopped me cold: soft, uneven breathing, the unmistakable sound of two people caught in an intimate moment. The air felt heavy, suffocating, and my ears burned with embarrassment. My heart pounded erratically, as though trying to escape my chest. For a moment, I couldn’t move—my body felt paralyzed by shock, my legs too weak to hold me up.

    Without thinking, I spun around and bolted, my steps clumsy and frantic. It felt as if something unseen was chasing me out, the walls of the house closing in behind me.

    Since that moment, everything has changed. That secret—so shameful I can’t even put it into words—has gnawed at me, unraveling the life I thought I knew. My wife began acting differently, her behavior shifting in subtle but undeniable ways. From that day on, it was as if my world was slowly crumbling, breaking apart piece by excruciating piece.

  • Betrayal and Revenge: The Gym Scandal That Destroyed Them All

    When my girlfriend came back from the gym, I noticed something off—again. Her workout top had mysteriously vanished.

    “Where’d it go this time?” I asked, eyeing her as she unpacked her bag.

    Without looking up, she replied casually, “It was soaked in sweat, so I tossed it.”

    I raised an eyebrow. The weather outside was chilly, barely above ten degrees Celsius. How intense could her workout have been to drench her clothes like that?

    Lately, She kept saying she was tired when she came home. Her condition seemed to be getting worse every day—she often felt nauseous and on the verge of throwing up.

    When her mother found out, she was deeply concerned, her voice filled with panic as she said:

    “Hurry up and get married already! I’m ready to be a grandma!”
