She died with her eyes wide open, waiting by the river for three days and three nights, only to be greeted not by her husband, but by her benefactor. As she looked at the blurred figure, her heart was deeply moved, and she silently made a vow: if she could be reborn, she would definitely marry him!... Later, she really was reborn.

Everyone has that one decision, that one moment in their lives that they think back to from time to time and wonder what could have been if they had made a different choice a different decision. A point in time they wish they could go back to. After saving a stranger, Laila has been offered a chance to do just that. Laila has nothing she could want from an outsiders perspective. She lives in a big mansion, with a handsome husband and two beautiful children but in reality her life is far from perfect and she couldn't remember the last time she was truly happy. So, if she was offered a chance to change that, shouldn't she take it? How crazy and unbelievable that chance might seem?

So, if you have ever screamed at your screen over yet another female lead picking the horrible first male lead over the second just because he has realized the error of his ways and therefore all he has done in the past should be forgiven and forgotten, well then search no farther as this is the story for you! Join me in the first week of May as we start this story of how a single decision can determine a lifetime or change it! Until then, feel free to look at my just completed novel A devil's match :D

Meng Zichen lived with his grandfather from an early age. They ran a coffin shop. On that day, a wrinkled old lady came to their house in strange clothes and said some strange things. She also wanted to propose a marriage for him. Grandpa was in a bad mood when he found out. Then something strange happened that he had never seen before.

After being flogged to death for a crime she didn’t commit, Calista received a second chance when a system contracted her. It was simple: complete tasks and she could earn a second chance in life. After completing several of them, the chance to reincarnate in her original world and body was finally granted to her. However, unlike others, she didn’t want revenge against the people who killed her or wanted to unmask what truly transpired back then. All she wanted was to live peacefully and enjoy the bounty benefits which came with the reincarnation. And that was something she found when she met a man she fell in love with in some backward village. Unfortunately, all that was broken when her husband of five years perished at the hands of bandits. Things went downhill when Calista married her second husband, Orson, an amnesiac man whom she scammed into marrying her. But things weren't as simple as they seemed— Orson might be hiding some secrets of his own. Led on a path of revenge that Calista never thought she would be on, she soon realized that Orson might have more to do with her first life and death than he led on. If he knew she was still alive, he might kill her again. That meant that this time, Calista might have to strike first.

All she wanted was to save her brother. And all he wanted was a child. He bought her, bound to a contract to give him a child and disappear from his life afterwards, but what hit her like a storm was love... falling for the masked monster who bought her body. Andrew Sterling hated greedy women, and every woman he'd contracted to bear his child, heir to the Sterling Enterprises, had been just that. When Anne, his third contracted surrogate, showed up, he saw her as the very same type of woman until she peeled open his stone-cold heart. What ties them next isn't just a baby contract, but an unexpected marriage formulated by Andrew's grandfather. But a man who has always despised marriage will never be tied down, not even by his contracted surrogate, because the minute she gave him the child he needed, he would send her out of his life. But when the tables turn on him... He says to her, "With a husband as rich as me, right now you're the wealthiest woman alive." "We're only married till I give birth," she retorted. He frowns at that, feeling internally displeased. "It doesn't matter how long we're married for. From now on, everything I own is yours. If you want heaven and earth, I'll buy it for you. My wife will never be found lacking a single fucking thing." She stared at him in disbelief. When did he start feeling something for her? He couldn't remember.

Haaa…I am happy for Miles but I just couldn’t take my mind off the worry, what if?, I smiled at Miles and hugged him. I know that look Ericka, if you are worried about me, don’t be, I can take care of myself now. You’ll see. We are not children anymore and I will prove to you that I am more capable of handling myself and those filthy monsters, so rest assured that I will come back home for you and Sarah!, Miles said and I hugged him again but now tighter. I don’t think that he will make it unless I am there with him to protect him. I love my friends and though I am a good Barista, I love war games and killing monsters is my specialty. But I don’t really know if my special ability could help the aviators but I want to try and put it to good use which way possible, I thought and decided to check on DOGS Academy the next day and tried to sign up for the course. I got accepted right away and when I checked on the systems they use it’s almost the same as the simulators I usually play with and this is making life more interesting and exciting for me. Miles didn’t know I will be joining him for the eight months training. And this is going to be a hell of a game in real life, fighting, killing monsters, here we go!

THIS BOOK IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING EDITING. NEW UPDATES COMING SOON! The prestigious Yang Family of the capital, renowned for its immense wealth and influence, is also infamous for its small number of family members. For six generations, the Yang family has been blessed with only a single child per generation, making Kendrick Yang the sole successor of this powerful lineage. “Kendrick, since you’ve divorced Amelia, it’s high time you find someone to bear an heir; otherwise, our family legacy will end with you!” Old Madam Yang declared, her voice laced with desperation. “I know what I’m doing,” Kendrick replied curtly, his expression an impenetrable mask. “Stop nagging Kendrick! Amelia will always be my only granddaughter-in-law,” Old Master Yang insisted with unwavering authority, his eyes glinting with resolve. Nearby, Amelia overheard the conversation, a bittersweet smile tugged at her lips. She thought, ‘Who said Kendrick doesn’t have any successors? He has five of them with me, but it’s for me to know and for him to find out.’ With a determined stride, she walked straight to the banquet hall. Just as Amelia vanished into the crowd, four striking, confident figures appeared before Kendrick and his grandparents. “If we are not his heirs, then what are we?” Aristide, the oldest, asked, with a defiant tilt of his chin as he spoke. “Who said my father needed another woman?” Bérenger chimed in, his eyes burning with intensity, his small fists clenched tightly. “If he dares to replace Mom, I’ll beat him to a pulp!” Chevalier declared, his small frame exuding fierce protectiveness. “If he dares to find another woman, big brother, just bankrupt his company!” Diedonné suggested, his voice dripping with a cold, calculating tone. Kendrick “….” “A, B, C, D! How could you leave me behind?” Eimhir, panting and out of breath, complained. But when she saw Kendrick, her eyes lit up with joy. “Daddy! We finally found you!”

On the planet Nevera, power does not belong to governments. It belongs to one family. The Piao family has shaped the world for generations, guarding the World Tree, a living archive of knowledge so vast it has guided the rise of modern civilization itself. But control comes at a cost. As global pressure mounts to access the Tree, old alliances fracture, hidden agendas surface, and a carefully maintained balance begins to collapse. For the first time in history, the Piao family is no longer untouchable. At the center of it all stands Angela Piao. Brilliant, reclusive, and deliberately removed from power, she was never meant to stand at the heart of a political war. But as the world around her begins to turn, allies shifting, trust eroding, and the very people her family once protected becoming threats, everything she once held stable starts to break apart. The decision falls to her. Not because she wants it. Because no one else can. Beyond the family’s influence, figures like Kael Everwyn move in the shadows, carrying motives that threaten to expose truths the world was never meant to see. And as the line between truth and manipulation begins to blur, one reality becomes clear: This was never just a debate. It was a staged battlefield. To understand what must be protected… Angela will be forced to look into the past. Because the truth behind the World Tree was never meant to be found.

He thought she wanted to commit suicide and tried to stop her: “There is always hope. As long as you believe, there will always be a way. Come down from that railing first and let's talk about it." She saw it as a chance to prank him instead of clearing up the misunderstanding: With a cunning smile on her face she yelled at the sky. "I don't believe you! Just let me be! I am going to die!" She spread her arms out like an eagle, preparing to face her ‘death’ bravely. A little bit into their relationship: Scene 1: "My, how terrifying Master Quince! But if my character and background is credible, on what grounds do you intend to throw me in jail?" Queen asked, her eyes shining with amusement. "Attempting to wreck havoc, causing psychological pain and emotional trauma." Quince deadpanned. "Psychological pain and...what?!" Queen half yelled the words out. ‘You smelly cat!!! What psychological pain, throughout our interaction you only had that non expression on your face ok?!' Scene 2: "It's ill mannered of you to suddenly read someone else's documents." He said coldly. "But you are not someone else. You're my fiancé." She replied matter of factly. "My point still stands." Quince replied as he bit out those words. "Yeah well, let it continue standing then." Scene 3: "Jealousy is a petty and useless emotion Miss Vancroft. I already have a fiancée." "Oh is that so?" Queen tilted her head before saying, "Are you trying to say that I don't have to worry about anyone else as I am the only one in your eyes Master Quince?"
