Here's the translation: "The girl I sponsored, Chen Qing, insisted on marrying a man who had just been released from prison and was a twice-married 'super man.' When I disagreed, the two of them killed me and claimed it was a suicide. After being reborn, I once again faced Chen Qing's request to be with Li Qiang. This time, I pretended to agree, but secretly manipulated the situation to take revenge for my past life."

Chapter 1

I had been sponsoring a poor girl named Braelynn, who insisted on marrying a man named Jerred, who had just been released from prison and had been married before.

When my attempts to dissuade her failed, I decided to cut off her sponsorship after her marriage, as per our agreement.

Braelynn agreed on the surface but secretly complained to Jerred, saying I looked down on them as star-crossed lovers.

Provoked, Jerred stormed into my house and killed me.

Braelynn then told the investigating police that I had a mental illness and had committed suicide.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back at the moment when Braelynn had just confessed her feelings to me.

Without hesitation, I smiled and said, "Go ahead and marry him.

A man who's been married before will know how to care for you. "

"Sister, I really love him. Please let us be together, okay? "

Braelynn pleaded, her face pitiful. Looking at her, I finally felt the reality of my second chance at life.

Braelynn was the youngest among the students I sponsored.

Last year, she got into a university in my city.

Feeling sorry for her loneliness, I took her under my wing, providing meals and companionship, thinking I had given her enough sense of security.

But she was still not satisfied.

In my previous life, she somehow met Jerred, a man who had just been released from prison and was in a hurry to find someone to marry.

While other girls avoided him, Braelynn threw herself at him, believing only such a man could make up for the lack of male affection she had experienced since childhood.

She insisted on marrying him and secretly took her household registration document to get a marriage license.

As her sponsor, I couldn't just watch her ruin her bright future.

I tried to persuade her earnestly, even to the point where the school considered disciplinary action.

I gave Braelynn an ultimatum: if she insisted on being with this man, I would have to terminate her sponsorship as per our agreement.

From then on, her life would be her own responsibility, and I wouldn't give her another penny.

Reluctantly, Braelynn swore to break off her relationship with Jerred in front of me.

I thought she had come to her senses.

But she turned around and sent our chat records to Jerred, exaggerated the situation by saying I looked down on them as star-crossed lovers.

Jerred, who already had mental health issues, was provoked and stormed into my house with a knife.

When he stabbed me to death, Braelynn stood by and watched without lifting a finger to help.

I died with unresolved grievances.

When the police came to investigate, Braelynn tearfully claimed I had a mental illness and had harmed myself in a moment of despair.

With her testimony, the police had no choice but to close the case as a suicide.

After my death, Braelynn forged a new adoption contract with all my documents.

All my assets ended up in her and Jerred's hands, and I didn't even get a proper burial.

In the end, Braelynn spoke to my corpse, saying, "Don't blame me.

If you had agreed earlier, none of this would have happened. And why didn't you give me money?

I was your sponsored student. "

Hearing her brazen entitlement, I was almost enraged to the point of losing my soul.

I had acted out of kindness, only to raise a knife that would turn against me.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw Braelynn standing in front of me, talking about her feelings for Jerred.

My SAT prep book felt heavy as I approached Jake Peterson' s front porch for our usual Tuesday session. Tutoring was my reliable income, essential for my college fund. The front door stood ajar, and a muffled thumping from upstairs hinted at something unexpected. Suddenly, my vision warped, inundated with glowing, intrusive text: `[Live-Chat Commentary]`. Remarks like `User_DramaQueen77: OMG, is the nerdy girl gonna bust in on them?!` and `User_JashleyFan01: Nooo, don' t ruin the Jashley moment! They' re endgame!` flashed across my sight. My life, apparently, was now a live broadcast for anonymous strangers on the internet. Moments later, Jake emerged, flustered, followed by a smirking blonde I immediately recognized as 'Ashley' , while the chat exploded with comments labeling me 'side character energy' . A chilling 'prophecy' soon appeared: `User_OracleGamer: Bet Jake dumps the tutor for Ashley. Sarah' s gonna lose him AND her cash cow. Sad.` What was this surreal nightmare, and why was my quiet, strategic existence suddenly the subject of relentless, bizarre public judgment from unseen trolls? I wasn' t a character in their made-up drama, yet every practical decision I made, from valuing my paid time to demanding payment for a stolen item, was twisted into a display of 'Ice Queen' or 'Money Grubber' behavior. But through the chaos, a different kind of insight emerged: this invasive commentary, while humiliating, also contained invaluable intel, revealing their malicious schemes before they even started. If my life was now a game show for their entertainment, I decided to become the player who knew all the cheats, turning every snarky comment into my strategic advantage.

I arrived at the hotel with Julian’s favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor—the same one I’d watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian’s back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian’s "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family’s shares. He knew about my mother’s secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.

"And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
