I dated Julian Thorne for three years, and for three years, he called me by his ex-girlfriend's name during our most intimate moments. When we were cooking, he’d absentmindedly call out, "Lila, honey, grab the silverware. It's time to eat." The birthday gift he gave me came with a card that read, "To my darling Lila, happy birthday." During our most private moments, he'd whisper in my ear, "Lila, am I being gentle enough?" After being called the wrong name for the hundredth time, the initial sting of irritation faded into numb resignation. I could only turn his face to mine, look him dead in the eye, and correct him, over and over. "My name is Ava. Not Lila." Eventually, Julian started to pause for a full two seconds before saying my name. Then, he would carefully utter the two syllables: "A-va." I thought he had finally changed. I was wrong. It wasn't until his obsession, the real Lila Hayes, joined our company that things truly unraveled. The gift card at the company's annual party was, once again, addressed to Lila Hayes. The bouquet of red roses sent to the office on Valentine's Day also had Lila Hayes's name on it. And then, when he proposed, he got down on one knee in front of me and called out: "Lila Hayes, will you marry me?" The "I do" was stuck in my throat. The excitement that had been building in my chest instantly shattered. Suddenly, it all felt meaningless. ...

This book is meaningless. It is simply coom over and over.

Mira died because she was stupid enough to trust the people around her. Her reputation, her career, her identity and her... Marriage. All of it disappeared while she was powerless to do anything. At death's door, she swore that if she could restart it all, she would change everything. She would avoid the tragedy. She wouldnt fall in love with the same man. Now given another chance, she vowed that she will get the happiness that she deserves and definitely live a good life. Screw everyone who wronged her in the past!

Some doors, once opened, cannot be closed again. Vikram Singh spent twenty years serving his country across four conflict zones, earning respect and recognition in every corner of the world. All he ever wanted in return was simple — to come home. On the evening of his retirement, he finally does. By midnight, home is ash and rubble. Everything he fought to protect, everything he lived for — destroyed in a single act of devastating precision by an enemy he cannot name, wielding resources that should not exist in any ordinary world. What follows is not a story about justice. It is a story about what grief does to people who refuse to let it make them weak. His eldest daughter Kavya — a national taekwondo athlete who once carried her family's strength as naturally as breathing — finds herself standing in the ruins of everything she has ever known. Beside her is Karan, her closest friend and a national MMA athlete, who has quietly decided that he will burn the world down before he lets it burn her. Together they begin pulling at a thread that leads somewhere enormous, somewhere dark, somewhere that no amount of athletic training could have ever prepared them for. Because there is a difference between fighting to win and fighting to survive. Between a competition and a war. Between an opponent and an enemy. As Kavya and Karan descend deeper into a world operating entirely in shadows — guided by fractured information, forged by violence, and tested by losses that don't stop coming — they begin to understand that whoever destroyed their family did not act on impulse. This was deliberate. Precise. Personal. And it goes back much further than one evening in Ranchi. Some wars never officially end. They simply go quiet — and wait.

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
