Blurb: "Sign them. You're finally free to be with her." For seven years, Maya Chen has lived as Adrian Blackwell's shadow wife—married because of a pregnancy scare that turned out false, staying because she foolishly hoped he'd see her worth. Every day, she watches him pine for someone else: her perfect older sister, Lily. When Lily returns from abroad with success and sophistication, Maya knows the fantasy is over. She packs her designer clothes, contacts the best divorce attorney in the city, and delivers papers to Adrian's office with one message: she's done being second choice. But Adrian's reaction shocks everyone. The cold, distant husband suddenly refuses to sign. The man who barely touched her now appears everywhere she goes. And the sister Maya idolized? She's hiding secrets that could shatter everything. As Maya rebuilds herself and attracts the attention of Adrian's charismatic rival, truths emerge that flip the entire story: Adrian was never in love with Lily—he was terrified of his overwhelming feelings for Maya from their very first night together. He built walls not from pining for another woman, but from fear of the depth of his own desire. The shocking revelation: Lily never dated Adrian in college. She fabricated their entire "epic love story," planting photos, manufacturing coincidental encounters, feeding Maya poisonous lies for seven years—all because she couldn't stand that Maya won the man Lily had obsessively wanted. Every cold dinner, every lonely night, every moment Maya believed she was competing with a ghost was orchestrated manipulation. But here's the real twist: Adrian has been secretly supporting Maya's abandoned art career for years, purchasing paintings in her style under pseudonyms, maintaining a private gallery of works that reminded him of her talent. The "business trips" Maya resented? Many were to art exhibitions, desperately trying to stay connected to the woman he'd pushed away. And Marcus Reid, the divorce attorney offering Maya a fresh start? He's not just Adrian's business rival—he's Lily's secret collaborator, hired to ensure the divorce goes through so Lily can finally claim Adrian. When all the lies explode at Maya's first art exhibition, she's left standing between two men and one question: Can you forgive someone who hurt you even if they were fighting their own demons? Or is choosing yourself the only real happy ending? One thing becomes clear—Maya spent seven years trying to win a man's love when she should have been reclaiming her own life. Now that she's finally found herself, everyone wants her back. But does she even want them? ---

After signing the contract with the company without knowing their CEO was the very man she had a nightstand encounter with, two weeks later she found out she was pregnant. "Amanda, I'm pregnant," she said when Amanda, her closest friend, came to visit her. "You're lying, ain't you?" Amanda asked looking perplexed. " The look on Nikita's face meant she was damn serious. "But how?" She asked a bit confused. "It was at the party two weeks ago. I had a nightstand." "It's all your fault. I told you not to arrange any party, but you didn't listen to me." She whined. "Hey, chill girl, I only sent you there to have fun, not to jump into bed with a stranger," Amanda defended. "So what are you gonna do?" she asked. "I don't know," Nikita replied, rubbing her temple. Two weeks later, she had a call from an unknown number. A shiver ran down her spine right after she heard what the caller said: "Nikita Marcelo, I've finally found you and my baby." the person said and the phone slipped out of her grip and shattered.

Selena Ward had been pacing for almost an hour, her hands shaking as she clutched the emergency report the nurse handed her. Her mother had collapsed again—only this time, she didn’t wake up. A doctor finally stepped out of the ICU. “Miss Ward… we need to operate immediately. She has internal bleeding. Without surgery, her chances are very low.” Selena swallowed, her voice barely a whisper. “H-how much?” The doctor hesitated. “A little over ten million naira.” Ten million. She didn’t even have ten thousand. Her legs felt weak. Her vision blurred. Ten million might as well have been a hundred billion. She had no relatives, no savings, and the landlord was already threatening to kick them out. “Please,” she begged, “can’t you do the surgery and I’ll pay later?” “We can’t. Hospital policy.” Selena felt her world collapsing in slow motion. She pressed her hand against her mouth and walked back to the hallway, tears burning her eyes. She didn’t notice the tall man standing at the far end of the corridor until she walked right past him and heard a deep, cold voice: “Miss Ward.” She froze. Slowly, she turned. The man approaching her looked out of place in the shabby hospital—tall, sharply dressed, and intimidatingly handsome. His aura alone made people step aside. He stopped in front of her, eyes unreadable. “Jace… Ariston?” she whispered. She had seen him once before—when she worked a small catering job at one of his company’s events. The billionaire CEO who people whispered about like he was some rumored storm. “Yes.” His tone was cool, controlled. “I heard your mother was admitted.” Selena frowned. “Why would you care?” “Because,” he said, slipping his hands into his pockets, “I came to offer you a deal.” Her heart raced. “What kind of deal?” “A marriage contract.” Selena almost laughed. Almost. But she was too tired, too broken. “Is this a joke?” “No,” he replied, voice dangerously calm. “I need a wife. Immediately.” She stared at him, not sure if the shock or confusion was stronger. Jace continued, expression sharp as glass. “My grandfather’s inheritance can only be claimed by a married heir. I need someone—someone with no ties, no scandals, no family interference.” Selena felt her stomach twist. “And why me?” His gaze slid down to her trembling hands, then back to her eyes. “Because you’re desperate enough to accept. And because I can offer you what you need.”

A broke literature student agrees to a contract marriage with a cold billionaire after an accident leaves her temporarily blind. She thinks he's just using her to shut up his family… until she starts noticing little things his voice softening, the way he holds her like porcelain, the nights he sits by her bed thinking she's asleep. But when her sight slowly begins to return, she realizes he's hiding a scarier truth than his emotions. And she might have fallen in love with a man she never fully saw.

Li Tang was reborn on the eve of the new millennium. He knew the trajectory of the mining market over the next twenty years, had the coordinates of every newly discovered supermine, and understood the intricate details of century-defining mergers between mining giants. While experts lamented that all the rich mines were in the hands of major players and that the giants were troubled by aging and depleting resources, turning from exploration to ruthless corporate takeovers... A group from the East kept working miracles—discovering deeply buried, shockingly rich mineral deposits again and again. From scorching deserts, frozen Arctic lands, and uninhabited primeval forests, they extracted tons of ore. Fully loaded cargo ships, the industrial lifeline, thundered across the seas toward the East. He had advanced exploration technology, wielded capital like a club, and maneuvered deftly through complex global politics—completely disrupting the mining industry's global landscape. When he speaks, the world listens. One foreign mining analyst exclaimed: “He is already the sole mining oligarch on Earth!” Thank you for the support, friends.
