After Divorce, I Returned as the Army's Queen
Chloe Quall trades her military uniform for an apron and dedicates herself to building Curtis Green's company. In return, she hears him say, "Chloe, how could you ever compare to Sonya? She's a strong, independent female captain, while you're just a useless secretary, pouring coffee and passing memos." Even his friends mock and dismiss her as nothing. None of them know that she once led the special forces, where flying fighter jets on missions was as routine as breakfast for her. She's fluent in five languages and graduated as the top science student in Corvessia. Even elite hackers answered to her. On the day she receives her parents' ashes at the military camp, Curtis is busy escorting his first love's mother to the hospital for a minor wound. That's the final blow. Chloe signs the divorce papers and heads to the airport, cradling her parents' urn. The whole of Corvessia is shaken. Generals and soldiers come in droves to salute her departure. And that's when Curtis finally realizes his ex-wife comes from a family of heroes, her home filled with medals of honor. He was the one who was never worthy of her. Later, jealousy consumes him as he watches Brian Steele—heir to Corvessia's most powerful family—stand at Chloe's side. With his arms wrapped possessively around her waist, Brian murmurs in her ear, "You're mine, Chloe. If you ever dare to rekindle things with your ex, I'll make him disappear." Chloe gives the powerful, ruthless man a bored look and responds with a dismissive roll of her eyes. That night, Brian backs her against the door and pleads desperately for her love.

Everyone knows him as a fair and just man who cannot tolerate the slightest wrongdoing. In order to stay by his side, Iris Whitman personally tears the admission letter to the prestigious Vantrel University during her senior high school year.

Only When I Gave Up Did They Care
I've just gotten married to Nathan Rodgers, a scion of Heidorot's elite, in the morning. But in the afternoon, he takes me to the courthouse for a divorce. As I clutch both the marriage and divorce certificates in my hands, all I can hear is his friends' relentless mocking. "Wow, Nathan! You actually married and divorced Caroline just because you wanted to cheer Eveline up!" "Haha! Look at how pale Caroline looks! Don't tell me she's about to cry!" Nathan wraps an arm around my adopted sister, Eveline Garrix. He says to her in a gentle tone, "Now that both certificates are here, are you willing to flash me a smile now?" Caroline let out a soft giggle. Her face, which is often fixed with a cold expression, now has a smile blooming on it. I want to demand answers, but I find myself being restrained by my brothers. Martin Bergling, my oldest brother who's a CEO, frowns at me. "Nathan is the only one who can make Caroline laugh. You'd better behave now." Oscar Bergling, my second brother, who's an award-winning actor, shoves me to the floor. "Eveline comes from a pitiful background. You, on the other hand, were born with a silver spoon—you have plenty of men to pick from other than Nathan." Albus Bergling, my third brother who's a biology professor, fixes a cold expression on his face. "Nathan should've married Eveline a long time ago. Stop bothering them already, Caroline!" After that, my brothers forcibly push them into a car in an attempt to stop me from ruining their first love's happiness. That's when the system, which has gone missing for a very long time, returns to me. "Host, it appears that you've accomplished your mission! Do you want to return to your world right now?" I sit in the back seat, looking out the window glumly. When I hear the system's voice, I almost break out into laughter. Finally, the angsty scene I've performed for the sake of my mission is over. From now on, I no longer give a damn about the stupid theatrics those idiots call their lives.
