When she was giving birth, she learnt that her husband actually loved her sister. For her sister, he wouldn't hesitate to cast her into hell. Everyone looked down on her. Yet they didn't know, she had already caught the eye and captured the heart of another man, a man of overwhelming power...

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

[COMPLETED.] [New Side Story released!] [Mature Content.] “That baby is mine, and so are you,” He declared, pointing at Kate’s belly while his deep green eyes gazed at Kate, like a viper ready to strike. Kate couldn’t believe that he– Henry Grant, her new boss eight years younger than her, was the father of her unborn child. “We should be together by default. But I will give you a choice. Go and suffer with your deadbeat husband, or come with me, I will show you the fun you’ve missed.” ===== For the past five years of her marriage, Katherine “Kate” Woods, 32, had always believed she was infertile. She was unable to conceive a child and her deadbeat husband Matt always insulted her for it, calling her a useless woman despite never finding a job himself, forcing Kate to be the sole breadwinner of their family. Yet, he still had the nerve to cheat on her with her own sister! Heartbroken, Kate escaped to her office late at night with four bottles of strong red wine. To her surprise, she wasn’t alone. A handsome young man stood in her office, watching her. He refused to give her his name, but offered to keep her company for the night. With lust and booze coursing through her veins, Kate readily abandoned herself to her basest, most repressed instincts, seducing the nameless but willing visitor. In her drunken stupor, she boldly declared, "If my husband wants to sleep with every woman on earth, then two can play that game." She didn’t care if they did it raw, as she always thought she was barren. Only to find herself staring at a positive pregnancy test a month later. Kate Woods, the supposedly ‘barren woman,’ was pregnant. The stranger had accomplished in one night what Matt could not in five years. - Now that Henry has given her a choice, would Kate leave her deadbeat husband and jump into the sea of uncertainty with this young man? Or would she stay with Matt, her husband who cheated on her for the sake of their families? - Official Commissioned Cover. - Contact me: Instagram: @ForeverPupa -

"When the time comes, I'll return to marry you." This was the first time Yun Nan saw this man with whom she had a marriage contract. As the real young lady of the Yun family, she came here for two reasons. Firstly, this was originally her engagement, but she went missing when she was young, and the marriage was transferred to the adopted daughter of the Yun family. Secondly, after she returned to the Yun family's residence, she found that her parents and elder brother were very partial to the adopted daughter. There was no place for her in the family, and even her marriage contract had to be given to the adopted daughter. As a result, the Shi family was now Yun Nan's greatest supporter. She decisively left the Yun family so that she'd receive help from her bigshot fiance. To make sure the bigshot would agree, Yun Nan put forward a bunch of conditions that favored him. For example, they could get a divorce after five years, she'd give him absolute freedom, and she'd cooperate with all of his requests. He could even blame their divorce on her. Consequently, the two agreed to get married. After getting married, the bigshot's grandfather became protective of her. "Whoever makes Yun Nan sad is going against me!" Her in-laws adored her. "You can buy anything you want, Yun Nan. We'll pay for it!" The bigshot's siblings all pampered her! A certain bigshot wasn't happy about this. "Who's the one with the same blood coursing through his veins as you do?" He asked. After that... the bigshot and Yun Nan took part in a dating show together. "My wife looks great!" The bigshot exclaimed on the show.
