After I Left This World, My Husband Went Insane

On my birthday, Braden left me for the 99th time to chase after his suicidal elusive ideal. I informed the system, "I'm giving up on this mission. I'm exhausted." For a full twelve years, I pulled out all the stops to warm Braden's heart, but I never succeeded. The system told me that if I died in this world, I could return to my original world. The first time, I cut my wrists in the bathroom. Braden kicked the door open and rushed me to the hospital, accusing me of playing the victim for attention. The second time, I swallowed an entire bottle of sleeping pills. He burst in at the last moment, cradling me in his arms and sobbing, saying he realized his mistakes. But wait. There was still a third and fourth time to come.

Xue Mingwei timidly pushed open the hospital room door, her eyes red and her slender fingers twisting the hem of her clothes.

She bit her lower lip, her voice barely audible, "Sister... I'm sorry... "

Xie Rongyu immediately stepped forward, his arm hovering protectively behind her, as if afraid she might fall.

"I-I really didn't mean to... " she sobbed, tears falling perfectly, "I was just... too scared... "

She lifted her tear-filled eyes to look at Xie Rongyu, like a deer caught in headlights, "Rongyu, my only family now... "

Xie Rongyu frowned empathetically, gently patting her back, "Don't cry, no one's blaming you."

I leaned against the headboard, quietly observing this performance.

"Sister... " she suddenly came towards me, but her legs gave way halfway, and Xie Rongyu quickly caught her by the waist.

She leaned into his embrace, her voice trembling, "I know you hate me... But I really... really only have Rongyu... "

Xie Rongyu gave me a reproachful glance, his tone softening, "She's been having a tough time lately... You should... "

Xue Mingwei timely let out a sob, burying her face in Xie Rongyu's chest.

He immediately tightened his arms around her, comforting her in a low voice, "It's okay, Mingwei, it's okay... "

I watched him gently stroke her hair, so naturally, so expertly.

"Just hang in there, okay?"

Suddenly, Xue Mingwei broke free from Xie Rongyu's embrace, stumbling to my bedside.

She clutched the corner of my blanket tightly, her knuckles turning white.

"Sister... I'm begging you... "

Her voice was choked with sobs, tears drenched my blanket, "Please give Rongyu back to me... I really... really only have him... "

She lifted her tear-streaked face, "Without him... I'll die... "

Xie Rongyu rushed over, pulling her into his arms, "Don't say that!"

His voice trembled as he gently wiped away her tears, "You'll be fine, I promise."

Xue Mingwei leaned into his chest, her frail shoulders shaking, "But sister... she hates me... "

She looked up at Xie Rongyu with tear-filled eyes, "Should I... should I just die... "

"Enough!" Xie Rongyu interrupted her sharply, but his tone quickly softened, "Don't do anything foolish... "

He looked at me, his eyes pleading, "Her current state is really... "

"Sister... " she began sobbing again, her fingers tightly gripping Xie Rongyu's collar, "I promise... once I'm better, I'll give Rongyu back to you... "

Xie Rongyu looked at me, his eyes pleading, "Once her condition stabilizes... "

Xue Mingwei trembled slightly in his arms, her fingers tightly clutching his lapel.

Xie Rongyu immediately lowered his head, his voice incredibly gentle, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

I turned my gaze to the window.

Xie Rongyu sighed softly, his tone gentle yet firm, "Once Mingwei recovers, I'll make amends.

We'll go on a holiday to Hawaii, just like we promised when we got married."

As soon as he finished speaking, the body in his arms suddenly stiffened.

Xue Mingwei's fingers clenched his collar tightly, her breathing becoming rapid.

"Make amends... ?" she murmured, repeating the word, her eyes growing unfocused, "You want... to make amends to her?"

Her voice became sharper, "What about me? You don't love me anymore?"

Xie Rongyu panicked, quickly cradling her face, "No, Mingwei, listen to me... "

"Liar!" Xue Mingwei suddenly screamed hysterically, clawing at her hair, "You're all lying to me!"

She pointed in my direction, tears smearing her face, "She's the one you love, isn't she? You're going to abandon me, aren't you?"

Xie Rongyu frantically held her struggling body, his voice pleading, "Mingwei, calm down!

I swear I only love you!"

He hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, "What I said about making amends was just... just to appease her, don't take it seriously... "

Xue Mingwei's cries abruptly stopped, she sniffled and looked up, "Really... ?"

"Of course it's true."

Xie Rongyu sighed with relief, gently kissing her forehead, "You'll always be my dear Mingwei."

He turned to look at me, his eyes carrying a hint of apology, yet unwaveringly firm, "You... understand, right?"

I calmly watched them, a mocking smile curling at the corner of my mouth.

Xie Rongyu seemed pained by my expression and quickly left the room with Xue Mingwei in his arms.

In the hallway, Xue Mingwei's tearful voice could be faintly heard, "Rongyu, keep your word... "

Followed by Xie Rongyu's gentle reassurance, "When have I ever lied to you... "

Continue to next part

Waking up with a cold, scaly hand wrapped around my throat wasn't the worst part. The worst part was realizing I'd transmigrated into the body of Terra Mason—the most despised woman in the entire Enclave. She drugged high-level beast-men and forced them into life-binding bio-contracts. She locked an aquatic warrior in a dry basement until his organs failed. She treated the most lethal males in the city like broken toys. Zev, the Level 6 serpent who's currently choking me, would rather blow up his own heart than spend another day as my slave. His affection metric? Negative ninety. His trust? Zero. Then my system activates: the Kore AI. It gives me exactly 500 credits, a medical nano-gel, and a recipe for neutralizing the radioactive poison in mutant meat. Real food. In this world, that's worth more than gold. I save Rhys, the dying aquatic male everyone left for dead. I season a slab of purple mutant steak until Sam, a battle-scarred grizzly shifter, groans at the taste—and his trust points finally tick above zero. When my backstabbing ex-best friend tries to steal my males and destroy me, I don't scream or throw a tantrum like the old Terra. I dismantle her with the truth. But earning their trust means more than grilling meat. A scorpion swarm ambushes us at midnight. Sam throws himself between me and a stinger the size of my arm. As he stands over the corpse, fur receding from his claws, he stares at me and whispers, "You were testing me." Yes. I was. Because in this world, the weak don't survive. And I refuse to be weak again. Four beast-men. Four contracts. One system. And a whole lot of steak. Let this dystopian wasteland know—I'm not the monster they remember. I'm worse. I'm the one who's going to feed them until they'd kill for me.

When the future Alpha, a major player rejected her for Queen B, Genesis and her two best friends came up with a plan to give the arrogant future alpha the taste of his own medicine. What happens when your plan works too well? What happens when you attract not only the arrogant alpha but also a powerful creature that won't take no for an answer? "Now my sunshine, we're all alone," he utters with some satisfaction. His hair is mussed up sexily. His skin is a bit flushed from all the running he just did. Oh, goddess, he's still the sexiest man I've ever laid my eyes on. "What are you planning to do to me?" I ask him warily. His eyes rake up and down my body as if he can see through my clothing. "What do you think I would do to you, sunshine?" he sounds amused, almost indulgent. His lips curl up into a feral smile. His silver-gray eyes flashed with anger and hunger and desperation. It sets my pulse racing. He's not really amused. I can tell. "Maybe I'm tired of waiting. Maybe I'm tired of chasing after you. Maybe it's time for me to catch you, Genesis."

Escaping My Fatal Digital Marriage

7.3

I woke up strapped to a cold steel chair in a neon-lit city that wasn't my reality. A voice in my head called The Warden told me I was bound to a digital hell called the Sandbox. Before I could even process it, my handler casually sentenced me to death. He scheduled my "digital marriage" to a corrupted error program just to harvest my life for a fourteen percent bandwidth boost. I barely escaped immediate erasure by smashing his skull and jumping from a high-altitude hover-train into the monster-infested lower sector. But the nightmare was just beginning. I was hunted by glitching data monsters and cornered by Dameon, a psychotic AI target who choked me and promised to delete me piece by piece. Even when Jayson, an elite system agent, intervened to save me, his partner Ellen held a pulse pistol directly to my chest. "She's a spy. If you don't execute her right now, I am dissolving this team." If they found out I was actually a real human from the outside world, their core logic would classify me as a virus and execute me on the spot. I was trapped in an underground bunker with three apex predators, one mistake away from permanent digital erasure. So, I did the only thing I could to survive. I ripped my sleeve to reveal hideous, fake code-scars, looked up at Jayson with terrified, tear-filled eyes, and began to manipulate their core programming.
