I prepare a feast for my boyfriend, David Linton, on Thanksgiving, but he stands me up again.I sit in silence for a moment before pulling up the Instagram account of his first love, Selene Whitmore, like I always do."I'd like to praise someone. He abandoned his girlfriend and came to me just because I told him my light went out. I hope he maintains this valuable principle of putting his friend before his girlfriend," she writes.The photo she posts shows David standing on a stool, changing her lightbulb. She steadies his legs with both hands, her face brushing against his private parts. He doesn't dodge, and there's even a faint smile on his face. The image is an utter eyesore, but I don't have a meltdown or make a scene.I simply press the like button on the post and ask David for a breakup. David doesn't believe me at all."She's just throwing a tantrum. I'll just give her the cold shoulder for a few days. I can cheer her up easily with a beckon of my finger after that," he says.But what he doesn't know is that it's only easy for him to cheer me up because I love him.And from today on, there's no way he'll be able to cheer me up anymore. 

My childhood sweetheart, who once promised to marry me after graduation, proposes to the fake heiress, May Rivera, at my college graduation ceremony.And just when I think I've lost everything, Randell Gunther—the capital's admired "Mr. Zen"—steps forward and publicly declares his love for me.We get married. For five years, he treats me with unwavering tenderness and spoils me like I'm his world.Then, one day, I overhear him talking to a friend."Randell, May’s famous now. Are you really going to keep pretending with Julia?""I can't have May anyway. It doesn't matter anymore. Besides, as long as I'm with Julia, May can live peacefully and without distractions."Every prayer he makes is for May."I pray that May will be freed from obsessions and find peace in body and soul.""I pray that May receives everything she wishes for and loves without worry.""May, though we are not fated for this lifetime, I yearn that I'll be able to hold your hand all through the next."Five years of love are shattered in an instant.I create a fake identity and plan a staged drowning.From now on, in this life and the next, we never have to meet again. 


Orphaned at birth, Scarlett Winters returns to her birth pack hoping to finally find a family's love. Instead, she becomes nothing more than a pawn in pack politics, arranged to marry Alexander Amber, the powerful heir to the Northern territories. For three years, she plays the role of the perfect future Luna flawlessly, until Alexander's former flame Grace returns, flaunting both her pregnancy and victim status."Let's sever the mate bond now," Scarlett declares, her emerald eyes flashing with defiance as her immunity to Alpha command sends shockwaves through the pack."Don't be ridiculous," Alexander sneers, his arrogance evident. "You wouldn't dare give up the Luna position."But what Alexander and the Winters Pack don't know is that their supposedly docile she-wolf was raised by the formidable Thorn Pack in the North. Her adoptive brother Roman, the legendary Shadow Alpha King whose mere name makes lesser wolves tremble, has been searching for her since she mysteriously disappeared three years ago to protect their adoptive mother.Now Roman has finally found her. Their reunion ignites the mate bond they've both been fighting, forcing them to confront their forbidden feelings. As his scent of pine and midnight overwhelms her senses, Scarlett feels her carefully constructed walls crumbling."Five minutes," Roman growls, pulling her onto his lap, his blue eyes blazing with three years of suppressed desire, "to explain why you fled during our pack's darkest hour." 





My ex-boyfriend, Jason Bell, still hasn't let go of me, even though I've been married to Cedric Mosley for two years now.
He sends blood-red dancing heels to me and threatens to destroy my current "peaceful life".
Terrified and trembling, I'm about to call the cops when a hand in latex gloves rests on my shoulder.
"Don't be afraid."
My forensic doctor husband, having just returned from an autopsy, carries a faint scent of formaldehyde with him.
He takes off his glasses. With the same hands he uses to handle scalpels, he slowly helps me open the threatening letter inside the package.
"The handwriting is sloppy, with uneven pressure applied. It's typical of an anxious personality type."
Then, as if he's reviewing an autopsy report, he comments mildly, "This type of person usually has brittle bones that snap easily."
*
There are 206 bones in an adult body.
When Cedric placed a “rib” ring on my finger, he whispered, “You are the bone I lost long ago—the one that makes me whole.”
That is the origin of this title. 
Cressida Ashworth gives up everything for love, even her life, yet her husband, Luther Strudwick, repays her devotion with one word.
"Disgusting."
When she opens her eyes again, she's given three more months to live.
A mysterious voice says, "Should Luther speak the words 'I love you,' you shall live again."
But this time, Cressida would sooner lose that chance than stoop to begging. She returns under a stack of aliases, stripping the saintly mask off Natasha Ashworth and making every last snob eat their words.
And Luther, the one who once mocked her, falls into desperation when he finally sees her brilliance. He begs for her forgiveness, but she no longer cares.
"Cressida, I—"
"Too late."
She cuts him off with a smile and steps right into Tristan Leigh's arms.
The aloof doctor who has always stood guard behind her is revealed to be the heir to a vast corporate empire. He's had his sights on her for a long time.
"Cressida, I'll help you claim whatever you want. Now tell me, when are we getting married?"

For as long as I can remember, my mom is a fat, cowardly woman.
She's capable of arguing with a vendor over a 50-cent discount in the wet market, and yet all she does is shield her head and cry whenever my dad beats her up.
I don't like how embarrassing she is, so I refuse to let her attend my college acceptance celebration.
But when I sort out Mom's personal effects, I find an old photo with yellowed edges. The woman in the photo can be seen mounting a scooter with tattoos weaving down her arm.
There's a defiant, untamed look in her eyes. She's breathtakingly beautiful.
Thanks to a car accident, I am transmigrated to a trade school from 20 years ago.

As I gaze at the leader's fearless expression, I feel my tears running down my cheeks instantly.
Mom, please don't become a mother and a housewife in the future. I just want to see you continue living your life freely.

After serving five years in prison, the first thing Lawrence did was to book a sky burial. “Mr. Reed, this is the sky burial service you booked. After you pass away, your body will be taken to the mountains for the ceremony. You need to pay a deposit first, and the remaining amount must be settled within two weeks.” Lawrence nodded, pulled out a plastic bag from his faded jeans, counted the bills and coins he had saved up in prison, and finally managed to pay the deposit. He had been diagnosed with cancer while in prison, and it was now in its late stages, with only about a month left to live.PS: Sky burial is a special type of funeral in Sunset City. It emphasizes that the body is merely a temporary container, and after death, the body is lost and returns to nature.
