I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis
Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé.Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?Wrong.One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.Enter him.Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.And now, he’s not letting me go.

Professor Aurora Reed of Astrait University has gotten into a shotgun marriage. Her husband, Owen Jenson, is from an affluent family. He throws a marriage contract at her and demands that they don't interfere in each other's lives after marriage. All he wants is for them to play their respective roles—he doesn't want her to have any unnecessary fantasies. She thinks this marriage is just something for them to get what they need—it'll end when the time is up. However, someone goes back on their word, rips the contract, and takes what they want.

My assets are all under her name, and I lose my mind when she replies to my messages a second later than usual. Isn't that considered true love?"
Her Tears Are His Weakness
The prince of Jedo, Leonardo Garrett, is known for his cold, untouchable, and ascetic nature. A string of rosary beads hangs from his wrist, making him look as if he's one step away from renouncing the world and remaining celibate forever. While his friends indulge in the pleasures of high society, he simply shrugs and says, "I'm not interested, nor do I understand it. But you guys can go ahead." This changes one day, when the pressure to marry becomes unbearable. Cornered, Leonardo declares, "If I have to get married, I'd rather make a vow of celibacy." His grandfather nearly has a heart attack. Meanwhile, Samantha Newton, a fake heiress who's been kicked out of her family, is left with nothing—no parents, no status, and no wealth. Mocked by others and forced to scrape by, she takes on part-time jobs just to survive. By sheer accident, while delivering alcohol one night, she walks into the wrong room and meets Leonardo. "What scent are you wearing? Is it some kind of love potion? Because it's working." From that moment on, Leonardo is completely addicted to her. The once cold and distant man falls hard, his devotion unwavering, his obsession unstoppable. He willingly steps down from his pedestal, letting love consume him. Before, while others clocked out, Leonardo worked late into the night. Now, while others are furiously typing away, Leonardo clocks out early. "Work is work, but home is home. My wife can't live without me—I'm heading out first." Wait a second… who can't live without whom? So, while the rest of them slave away like workhorses, Leonardo becomes the ultimate lovesick fool?

If Only
Hunted by a tormented dark past, she is rejected by her partner and hurt again. She was like a walking dead, living but never enjoying life. She was drowning in darkness and pain.

With so many things unclear, one thing she did know was that her life would be turned upside down when he called her "" mate. ""Rejected she-wolf gets another alpha mate? Is it a blessing or a curse?"Since marrying Tristan Flynn three years ago, Esther White had been a dutiful wife both in bed and in life. She bore the naïve thought that she could melt Tristan's heart with her tenderness. Later on, she realized that even melting glaciers was easier than moving Tristan. During the three-year marriage, Tristan believed that he could use two words to describe his wife Esther, dull and unimpressive. Nevertheless, she dared to humiliate him in public by throwing him the divorce papers on the anniversary of the Flynn Group. He stared at Esther, who looked composed and elegant in a red dress, and narrowed his eyes. Everyone thought that Tristan and Esther wouldn't have any contact after divorce, and even Esther was no exception. Later, Tristan was to present the best screenplay award to Esther at an award ceremony. After handing Esther the trophy, the graceful, icy Tristan suddenly begged submissively in front of the crowd, "Esther, it is my fault to fail to cherish you in the past. Can you give me a second chance to win your affections?" Esther looked at Tristan with a bright, aloof smile. "Sorry, Mr. Flynn. My career is the only thing I care about at the moment." Tristan pulled Esther's hand, his eyes filling with melancholy. "Esther, I can't live without you." Esther turned around coldly and thought, "Are you kidding? Why would I date a man instead of focusing on my career? Plus, you are my ex-husband."
