His Unwanted Wife Is A Genius Healer
Elizbeth married the wealthy heir Carlton Wilkinson to save her grandfather's life's work.
But on their wedding night, instead of a loving husband, she faced a cold tyrant. He forced her to sign a brutal prenup, stripped her of all family rights, and banished her to a dingy guest room.
He was convinced she was just a pathetic, gold-digging liar.
When a catastrophic pain attack drove Carlton to smash his own head against the wall, Elizbeth rushed in to save him using her specialized acupuncture. She risked her life to calm his spasming nerves.
But the moment he woke up, he nearly choked her to death. He threw her against the wall, bleeding and bruised, accusing her of using cheap parlor tricks to poison him.
The next morning, his greedy relatives openly mocked her cheap clothes, waiting like vultures for Carlton to drop dead so they could steal his fortune.
Elizbeth was humiliated and terrified, but she soon discovered a classified secret.
Carlton was a former Delta Force operator slowly going mad from an undetectable weaponized biotoxin. The poison made him paranoid and violent. He would rather die in agony than accept help from a woman he despised.
Begged by his desperate grandfather, Elizbeth knew she had to cure him in the shadows.
At 1:00 AM, she slipped a heavy, odorless sedative into his water and sneaked into his pitch-black bedroom to begin the detox.
But as her silver needle hovered over his skin, a massive hand shot out and pinned her violently to the mattress.
"How much did they pay you to poison me?" he hissed in the dark, his eyes wide awake and blazing with murderous fury.

Chapter 5
Elizbeth gripped the long silver needle tightly between her thumb and index finger. She launched herself at Carlton's back.
Carlton heard the rush of air behind him. His combat instincts flared through the haze of pain. He spun around wildly, his bleeding arm sweeping horizontally to take her head off.
Elizbeth knew she couldn't overpower a trained soldier. As his massive arm swept toward her, she intentionally let her knees buckle, dropping to the floor with a sharp cry. The sudden sound broke through his violent haze for a fraction of a second. Carlton hesitated, his momentum throwing him off balance. Elizbeth seized the opening. She scrambled forward, grabbing his wrist with both hands and using his own downward force to pull him to the carpet. But his reflexes were terrifying. Even disoriented, he twisted his body. Within a second, he was on top of her, pinning her flat against the ground.
His bloodshot eyes locked onto hers. His large right hand shot out and clamped down hard around her throat.
Elizbeth's airway was instantly crushed. Her face flushed dark red. She gagged, her left hand flying up to claw desperately at his thick forearm.
Her lungs burned for oxygen, but her right hand remained steady. She still held the silver needle. Her eyes stayed locked on the back of his neck.
As Carlton squeezed her throat harder, the muscles in his neck flexed and tightened, perfectly exposing the base of his skull.
Elizbeth's eyes narrowed. She found the Fengchi acupoint. Without a second of hesitation, she drove the needle deep into the base of his neck.
The moment the metal pierced his nerve cluster, Carlton's massive body went completely rigid. His pupils contracted violently.
Elizbeth felt the crushing grip on her throat loosen slightly. She shoved his hand away, gasping loudly, sucking air into her burning lungs.
She didn't stop moving. She reached into the leather roll on the floor and pulled out three more needles.
Her hands moved in a blur. She precisely inserted the needles into the calming acupoints on his scalp and the top of his shoulders.
Carlton let out a low, heavy groan. The frantic, wild energy drained from his body as if a plug had been pulled.
His tense muscles turned to jelly. The violent red color faded from his eyes. His heavy eyelids drooped, and he collapsed forward, his dead weight crushing Elizbeth against the floor.
Elizbeth grunted under his weight. She carefully pushed his heavy shoulders off her and rolled him onto his back.
She collapsed onto the carpet next to him, her entire body soaked in cold sweat. Her chest heaved as she stared at the ceiling.
She turned her head and looked at his pale, finally peaceful face. Her heart ached. She reached out a trembling hand and gently brushed a lock of dark hair away from his closed eyes.
Thirty minutes passed in total silence. Elizbeth sat cross-legged beside him, her eyes glued to the steady rise and fall of his chest.
Suddenly, Carlton's brow twitched. His index finger jerked against the carpet.
His eyes snapped open. The wildness was gone, replaced instantly by the cold, lethal alertness of a trained soldier.
He sat up in a flash. He immediately felt the strange, sharp pressure at the base of his skull.
His hand flew to the back of his neck. His fingers brushed the metal pins. His face twisted into a mask of pure, murderous rage.
He ripped the silver needles out of his skin and threw them onto the floor. He slowly turned his head and locked his dead eyes onto Elizbeth.
Before she could blink, he lunged.
His hand clamped around her bruised throat once again. He lifted her off the floor and slammed her back against the wall.
"What did you do to me?" he hissed, his voice sounding like it came straight from hell.

Instead, he manipulated her anger, tricking her into signing an ironclad contract that surrendered absolute control of her entire trust fund to him.
When her abusive mother found out she had funded a penniless outcast, she slapped Alyssa across the face.
Her mother froze all her bank accounts, locked her inside her bedroom, and arranged to sell her off to a degenerate politician.

Stripped of her money and freedom, she dragged her broken body to a VIP club just to publicly declare that Benton belonged to her.
She thought she was the boss, playing a rebellious game with a broken man.
But when Benton effortlessly carried her away from the club and locked her inside his rundown apartment, the terrifying calculation in his dark eyes shattered her illusion.
How could a man stripped of his entire empire still radiate such suffocating, violent power?
"You bought me," Benton whispered, his massive frame trapping her against the sofa. "That means I have to take care of you."
Physically trapped and completely broke, Alyssa stared into his consuming eyes, her mind racing to find a way to turn the tables.

For three years, June played the perfect, submissive wife to billionaire Augustus Pruitt, hoping a child would finally warm his cold heart and secure their marriage.
But when she cautiously suggested they have a baby, he looked at her with pure, unfiltered disgust.
"A woman who schemes her way into a marriage doesn't get to carry my blood."
He sneered, leaving immediately to lavish his mistress with diamonds. The nightmare only escalated from there. Augustus bought the one painting June desperately wanted—a piece she had secretly created herself—just to gift it to his mistress. He publicly outbid June at the gallery, mocking her lack of wealth, and left her to collapse in the freezing rain. When the storm gave her a severe 104-degree fever and she nearly died on their staircase, he didn't even stay by her hospital bed. Instead, he sent an assistant with a box of jewelry to buy her silence, then forced her to attend a family dinner where his mother and sister viciously mocked her barren womb and background.
Looking at Augustus, who sat there casually cutting his steak while his family tore her apart, the last flicker of hope in June's chest sputtered and died.
She finally understood that her three years of bleeding devotion were nothing but a pathetic joke to them.
She dropped her silverware, the sharp clatter silencing the entire room. She wasn't going to be their punching bag anymore. It was time to finalize the divorce papers, reclaim her hidden identity as the world-renowned artist 'mr.sun', and make them all regret it.

For three years, I played the role of a devoted, naive wife to billionaire Conrad Whitney. I hid my true identity and foolishly believed in our fairy tale.
Then he handed me a harsh divorce agreement, ordering me to sign and walk away with absolutely nothing. He was leaving me to marry Cindy, the fragile woman he claimed had saved him from a fire.
He expected me to cry and beg. Instead, he watched coldly as Cindy and her family illegally transferred my father's trust fund. When I confronted them at the hospital, Conrad shielded her, calling me a greedy, toxic viper. He mocked me, completely blind to the fact that Cindy was a fraud. He truly believed I was just a pathetic, useless housewife who would be utterly destroyed without his money and status.
I looked at the man I had actually dragged out of that burning debris with my own soot-covered hands. My trauma, my sacrifices, and my love had all been reduced to a joke by his sheer arrogance and a few fake tears from a manipulative liar.
I didn't shed a single tear. I calmly signed the papers, drugged his wine, and left a crumpled one-dollar bill on his unconscious chest with a sticky note mocking his terrible service.
Then, I picked up my encrypted phone. It was time for the world's top surgeon, Dr. Hades, to return, and for Conrad to finally see the god he had just thrown away.

After years of a freezing, loveless marriage, my billionaire husband Israel finally threw me out to make room for his new lover, Ayla.
Before I even packed my bags, he ordered a crew to shred the Dogwood tree in our backyard and pour thick concrete into the crater, claiming it was a symbol of my infidelity.
He didn't know that buried beneath those roots was the urn containing the ashes of our unborn baby.
Stripped of everything, I tried to rebuild my shattered life by securing a supporting role in an indie film.
But Israel bought the entire production studio just to cast Ayla as the lead, demanding I act as her pathetic stepping stone.
When I refused, he cornered me on set with a sickening audio recording.
"We want one million dollars. This will ruin Karen forever."
It was my own parents. They had forged my medical records, planning to sell a story to the tabloids that I was a violent, delusional schizophrenic.
Israel smiled coldly, threatening to lock me in a padded room on an involuntary psychiatric hold unless I signed an unpaid contract to serve Ayla unconditionally.
My own flesh and blood had sold me out to a ruthless monster for cash.
Staring at the extortion contract, the last shred of desperation and love in my chest burned away into cold, gray ash.
To survive a monster, you have to become one.
I picked up his pen, violently signed my name, and prepared to rip his precious Ayla to shreds on camera.
