[Divorce+ Contract marriage+ Faceslapping+ Second chance love] Evelyn Carter had always believed that while her husband and first love did not share her feelings, he cared for her and respected their marriage.

"Divorce me." Though like a parrot, she kept repeating these words to him-again, and again. Selene was but an unfortunate wife of a man who only saw her as...his possession; his trophy. As her life spirals and strays away from the flowery path her very husband paved for her, their marriage was the same. Selene, who carried a bundle of misfortune with her everywhere she went-and her husband who married her despite that was her 'stroke of luck'. "Selene, I will never." he says, but are promises meant to be kept? or broken? could she still trust him, knowing that his vows were already broken? Second chances are not created if only the first chance was cared for.

“Wife...” “Not wife, ex-wife!!” She gritted her teeth, glaring at the handsome man who tried to please her. “Wife...” “Get lost! Turn around, walk ten meters forward, open the door, and leave, no need to see you off!” Looking at the flattering smile on his face, she finally couldn’t hold back anymore. She kicked him, then turned around, tears streaming down her face. The groom didn't show up for the wedding, yet he treated her tenderly, only to realize it was his way of humiliating her. The love she gave finally had a return when he admitted he loved her. On her most precious day, he gave her the most painful blow again. Was that unbearable scene the “gift” from him and his first love? After signing a divorce agreement, she truly felt that her marriage to him was just a joke. However, when she remarried, at the wedding, he domineeringly tore the wedding dress from her body. Facing the man she once loved the most, she smiled calmly: “Ex-husband, can you ever stop messing around?”

Iris Chen, 25, thought she knew what love meant. For six years, she poured her heart into Damien Hartwell—her college sweetheart, her fiancé, the man she believed would be her forever. She worked three jobs to support his startup dreams, deferred her own career, and endured her stepfamily's cruelty because he promised they'd build a life together. Then, the day before their wedding, Damien announces he's marrying her dying stepsister Vivienne instead. "She only has six months to live," he says, as if that makes breaking Iris's heart noble. "You're strong. You'll understand." Iris's father—who remarried after her mother's death—sides with his "fragile" stepdaughter. Her inheritance? Stripped away and given to Vivienne as a wedding gift. Her job at the family company? Terminated. Even her apartment was never really hers—it was in Damien's name. Cast out with nothing but a suitcase and a shattered heart, Iris is ready to disappear into obscurity. Until a sleek black car pulls up beside her in the rain, and a man who looks like sin in a three-piece suit offers her an umbrella. Adrian Thorne, 35, is Manhattan's most ruthless corporate titan—a self-made billionaire with ice in his veins and a reputation for destroying anyone who crosses him. He's also devastatingly handsome, dangerously intelligent, and apparently... interested in her. His offer is simple: a one-year contract marriage. He needs a wife to secure a inheritance from his traditionalist grandmother and close a major business deal. She needs revenge, money, and a way to make Damien regret every breath he takes. The rules are crystal clear: - No emotional attachment - No falling in love - No questions about his past - Public perfection, private distance Except Adrian doesn't do distance. Every carefully staged kiss for the paparazzi lingers too long. Every "pretend" touch burns too hot. Every night he insists she sleep in his penthouse "for appearances" ends with them barely keeping to their separate rooms. And when Iris discovers she's pregnant—from one forbidden night when the lines between fake and real completely blurred—their contract marriage becomes the most dangerous truth either has ever faced. Because Adrian Thorne isn't who he claims to be. He's not just some billionaire who happened to find her that rainy night. He's been watching her for years, waiting for the perfect moment to make his move. And his connection to her past—and to Damien—runs far deeper and darker than she ever imagined. Damien is on his knees begging (especially after "dying" Vivienne makes a miraculous recovery and reveals her own agenda). Her family wants her back now that she's Mrs. Adrian Thorne. But her fake husband isn't playing anymore. "You were my revenge plan, Iris. Now you're my entire world. And I don't share."

While Vivienne lies on the hospital bed, praying for her child’s life, her husband is nowhere to be found. Instead, he’s photographed in the arm of another woman. And while she mourns her loss of their child, he celebrates another woman’s birthday. That night, Vivienne finally realizes she’s had enough. If her husband doesn’t want her, she won’t beg for his love. She will walk away. But Vivienne isn’t just any woman. She is the lost heiress of the Crest Group, a multi billion-dollar empire in England. The wife he saw as a nobody has just become the most powerful woman in the country. And now, the cold billionaire who once thought she was disposable will learn what it means to chase the woman who holds not only his heart but also the future of his company.

Dr. Rachel Maren doesn’t believe in second chances—especially not for Ethan Connors, the man who shattered her trust and left her with a scar that never quite healed. When a highway crash leaves Ethan clinging to life, Rachel becomes the neurosurgeon tasked with saving him. Professionally, she should refuse. Personally, she can’t walk away. What begins as an obligation turns into an obsession when Ethan wakes—alive, changed, and broken in ways medicine can’t fix. His memory fractures, his arrogance is gone, but his presence still ignites the same fire she swore she’d buried. Forced to oversee his recovery on his family’s remote Wyoming ranch, Rachel faces long days, colder nights, and the dangerous pull of a man who no longer remembers the pain he caused. But as Ethan’s body heals, so do his memories—and with them come secrets, guilt, and a betrayal that nearly destroyed them both. When his heart stops again, it isn’t just a medical crisis. It’s the anatomy of every regret they’ve ever buried. In the war between the past and forgiveness, love is the most dangerous surgery of all.

In the previous life, she loved him deeply. But in the end, not only did she lose all her family, but she also lost him, witnessing him being with other women. After being reborn, she decided to change herself. This time, she only wanted to acquire his property, have a relaxed and happy love, and live freely. When she proposed divorce to him and behaved intimately with other men, he was angry and lost control. To him, she was just a submissive and indifferent wife, but now suddenly she is so important to him. Once proud, he shed much of his dignity and came to her personally, pleading, "Sweetie, can you give me another chance?" She refused, saying, "Get out!" Only when he offered her his entire fortune did she begin to believe that this time, he was truly sincere.

The only way out is if you die, or I perish!" Fine, she chose death! Yet he laughed wickedly, "Woman, do you intend to kill the son in your womb?"

My half-sister was dying of cancer, and she had one final wish: to steal my life. She demanded my wedding, my fiancé, everything. So I watched as she walked down the aisle in the dress I designed myself, on the arm of the man I loved, into the wedding that should have been mine. For a dying woman, I could bear it. But when she came for the heirloom bracelet my late mother left me, something inside me snapped. At the auction, I watched my ex-fiancé, Jasper, shield her as they drove the price up to a staggering 200 million. Bled dry by my own parasitic family, I was helpless, forced to see my last connection to my mother fall into their hands— Until a calm, commanding voice cut through the room: “300 million.” The entire hall fell silent. Mack Ben, the notoriously private and influential head of the Ben family, had made the bid. “A gift,” he declared, his gaze finding mine, “for Miss Colby.” After I retrieved the bracelet, I promised to repay him. “Mr. Ben, I’ll find a way to pay back the 300 million.” He simply studied my face, a slight frown creasing his brow. “Freya Colby,” he asked softly, “have you forgotten me?” Me: ?

Vale, the firm's legendary senior partner, makes it clear: if Mia can bend the unbreakable Liam Alcaraz, she'll earn her place as their youngest partner.

Every accidental brush of skin threatens to reignite the wildfire they once swore to bury. Liam is determined to prove he's not the same man who broke her. Mia is determined to remind him she's not the same girl he left behind. But in a world where pride is power and desire is dangerous, old wounds reopen, truths shatter illusions, and the line between love and hate blurs until only one truth remains- Some temptations are impossible to resist. And some hearts never truly let go.
