On their fourth wedding anniversary, Chloe Reed brought up divorce. The man's face darkened, his sharp phoenix eyes glinting, "Just because I was with my sister-in-law while she was in labor, and not with you?" Chloe Reed: "Yes." The day after his elder brother died, Walker Grant went to Unistara to accompany his widowed sister-in-law. For four years, he traveled back and forth between the country and Unistara. Countless times when she needed him, he was with his sister-in-law and that child. Three days ago, his sister-in-law returned to the country. They both fell into the water at the same time, and his first instinct was to save his sister-in-law. She was wrongly accused of hurting her nephew and forced to kneel on a cobblestone path, yet he completely ignored it. She had loved him for eight years and never once doubted his true feelings. But now, for the first time, Chloe Reed began to doubt her own love. "Alright," the man tore up the divorce papers, "I did it all for my brother's child. I just won't be with her anymore." Chloe Reed: "You tear one up, I'll draw up another, until you sign it." The coldness in the man's eyes was replaced by astonishment. With the speed of a cheetah, he grabbed her hand: "From falling in love to getting married, you've been with me for eight years." "Can you bear to leave?" Chloe Reed calmly pulled her hand away: "There's nothing that can't be let go." # Walker Grant would rather believe the Earth was flat than believe Chloe Reed would actually divorce him. They had been together for eight years. To marry him, Chloe Reed had once knelt alone in the rain outside the Grant family's gate, and even gave up the opportunity to study abroad. After sacrificing so much, how could she possibly bear to leave him? But when the divorce certificate was actually handed to him, Walker Grant was stunned. In the countless days that followed, Walker Grant cast aside all his pride, half-kneeling before the woman's door, his face full of pleading: "I'm begging you, open the door and let me in."

"You'll be my wife on paper only. You'll have everything—except my heart. You'll never be Marina." For five years, Lily lived as David's secret wife—his poised secretary by day, his invisible stand-in by night. Every cold touch reminded her she was just a replacement. Every whispered “Marina” cut deeper than the last. Then his ex returned. And without hesitation, David cast Lily aside like she meant nothing. So she did what she should have done years ago. She signed the divorce papers. She walked away. But now, David couldn't escape her absence. Her silence burned him in ways Marina never could. And suddenly, the man who swore he'd never love her was determined to get her back. By any means necessary. Even if it meant breaking her all over again. She paid the price for loving him once. Now, he'd pay for losing her forever.

There are five things you should know: 1. My name's Gavin Daniels and I probably won't like you. It isn't your fault, probably, I'm just not a people person. 2. The government is kinda fucked. Not your fault either. The president and like, nineteen other world leaders were assassinated not too long ago. 3. NEVER go onto the Ohio University campus alone. There are weird creatures there that will not hesitate to make you their next meal. 4. Do not judge me for doing the above. 5. And lastly, somebody find me the man in the robe who knocked me out and left me for dead with a freaking med student and annoying chick on some desolate ship. 6. I lied. Sorry. I've been kidnapped and you need to help me get out. I cannot do it without you at my side. Trigger Warnings: Violence, Murder, Mental Illness

On the birthday after our sixth wedding anniversary, I jumped off a tall building. Returning to the original world, I began living the life I had always dreamed of. With a house, a car, and money, I could travel anytime and anywhere, and it made me extremely happy. Until one day, the voice of the system appeared in my mind again. "The villain is starting to go dark again. Host, do you want to go back once more? There are still generous rewards this time." At that time, I didn't know that the villain in the other world was also waiting for my answer. I looked happily at the campfire I had only seen in books before, and slowly opened my mouth. "Not even a dog would go back—"

With a house, a car, and money, I could travel anytime and anywhere, which delighted me endlessly. Until one day, the voice of the system appeared in my mind again. "The villain is starting to turn dark again. Host, do you want to go back this time? There is still a generous reward." At that moment, I did not know that the villain in another world was also waiting for my answer. I looked gleefully at the bonfire that I had only ever seen in books, and slowly spoke. "Not even a dog would go back—"
