Stella was destroyed by the man she loved and his mistress. Her family, her name, her life were all gone. But fate rewinds the clock. Back at the husband-selection gala, she ditches her ex and shocks everyone by choosing Adrian, the ruthless mafia king no one dares to cross. Adrian gives her power, protection, and passion — until she discovers his secret: he wasn’t her weapon… he was her shield, all along.

In New Chicago, Adrian, who came from a Mafia family, was ambushed by his arch-enemy—the Crawfordtis family. While investigative journalist Eve was conducting an undercover investigation into Adrian, she unexpectedly saved him after he was ambushed and seriously wounded; Adrian fell in love with Eve at first sight. Adrian knew full well that if this assassination attempt were exposed, the Crawfordtis family would undoubtedly resort to extreme measures against Eve; however, he did not know how to express his feelings, so he used the pretext of providing protection to forcibly "sequester" Eve at his lakeside estate, boldly declaring, "Over the next ten days, I will make you fall in love with me."

Vivian Hale transmigrates into a novel. She is assigned one goal—irritate the tyrant emperor badly enough that he puts her out of her misery, collects her hundred million, and goes home. She schemes, she provokes, she causes chaos at every turn. The Emperor just laughs, pulls her closer, and absolutely refuses to cooperate. What she doesn’t know yet is why. Adrian Kingsley has died and been reborn three times, watching her meet the same terrible ending each time, and has spent every subsequent lifetime dismantling the forces that killed her before she even knows they exist. When the truth finally surfaces, he takes her face in his hands, eyes red, and makes her one quiet promise—his life for hers, every time, as many times as it takes. Vivian, who came here to die on purpose, finds herself suddenly and inconveniently unwilling to lose him.

"Serena, the rightful daughter of the Witch Clan, devoted her heart to Adrian in her previous life. She spared no effort to support him, helping him rise to the throne. But in the end, she was betrayed by Adrian and her adopted sister Celeste. Pregnant with his child, Serena was poisoned and killed. By a twist of fate, she was reborn and returned to the day of her twentieth birthday ceremony—the day she was destined to choose her husband. This time, she no longer clung to her old love. Instead, she chose Poseidon, the youngest son of the former clan lord. A man everyone looked down upon because of his incomplete bone fins. Poseidon was Adrian’s uncle. In her previous life, Adrian had treated Serena with arrogance and contempt. But in this life… The man who once looked down on her could only bow his head and call her: “Aunt-in-law.” For years, Poseidon had secretly loved Serena. In her previous life, he was the one who saved her. And after her death… He personally sought revenge for her. Only after losing everything did Adrian finally realize his mistakes. He desperately tried to win Serena back. But Serena had already seen through him. Not every regret… Deserves forgiveness. In the end… Serena chose the man who had always cherished her. Together with Poseidon, she seized power, ruled side by side, and began a brand-new life.

Stella Carter had been secretly married to Adrian Whitmore, an old-money Manhattan heir, for three years, believing she had found the most precious love of her life. It was not until she was pregnant and saw her husband at the hospital staying by the side of the famous actress Vanessa Bennett—and overheard Adrian planning to take her child away and hand it over to Vanessa to raise—that she realized she had never been the one her husband truly cherished. Stella terminated the pregnancy, signed the divorce papers, and accepted an invitation to join a Zurich aerospace program. Before leaving, she sent evidence of Vanessa’s provocations and her own abortion report to a family dinner, publicly exposing the relationship between Adrian and Vanessa, and then vanished completely. Only after losing her did Adrian realize that Stella was not only the one who had truly saved his life, but also the wife he had shattered with his own hands. By the time he followed her to Switzerland, Stella had already returned to her scientific career and had also begun to recognize the love Julian Harrington had quietly kept for her all those years. Adrian’s remorse, Vanessa’s crimes, and the reckoning between the two powerful families erupted one after another. After all the hurt and farewells, Stella ultimately completed the aerospace program and married Julian, who truly respected and cherished her, while Adrian could only cling to his belated regret and watch her embrace a life of her own.

When Adriano Morelli realized I hadn’t submitted a single household request in three days, he called me himself for the first time in months. “Serafina,” he said, his voice smooth and patient, “the clinic has been cleared. Your file is back on priority. See? When you stop making things difficult and learn how this family works, I make sure you’re taken care of.” He always sounded the gentlest when he was reminding me who held the power. What he didn’t know was that by the time his name lit up my screen, the divorce papers were already drafted. From the outside, I had everything a woman could want: a guarded penthouse, a driver on call, designer clothes, and the last name of one of the most feared men in the city. But almost none of it was mine. The cards were monitored. Cash had to be approved. Staff took Viviana Costa’s orders before they ever listened to me. Even the wardrobe budget, my schedule, and access to the family office all ran through her hands. Adriano called it convenience. Three days ago, I was rushed into a private clinic, blood soaking through my dress, while a doctor told me there was still a chance to save the baby if the emergency deposit was paid immediately. I called Adriano until my hands shook. Viviana stalled the transfer. First there was no direct authorization. Then the amount was too large. Then Adriano was in a meeting and could not be disturbed over something that might not be serious. By the time the money came through, it was too late. The baby was gone. I had stayed with Adriano for two reasons: I loved him, and I believed that when it truly mattered, he would choose me. I was wrong about both. Our child died first. My marriage died with it.
