Sophie Wilson loved Daniel Carter for a lifetime. As she neared the end, Daniel held her hand, tears streaming down his face. She thought it would be a final confession of love. But then Daniel sighed, "Sophie, being your husband this lifetime was exhausting. I just want to live with Lily in Seaside Village as a plain fisher." In that moment, Sophie forgot how to breathe. The Lily he spoke of was the fisherwoman who found him years ago in Seaside Village. She lied, claiming to be his wife, and kept him hidden, living as a couple.

Sophie went to the city hall as the first thing after her rebirth.

"Hello, I'd like to know if I can replace a lost marriage certificate," she said.

She watched the clerk, tense and hopeful.

Every second of waiting felt like torture.

Daniel's words from her deathbed echoed in her ears.

She desperately needed to know it was a dying delusion or the truth.

"Sorry, ma'am," the clerk looked up, polite. "There's no record of your marriage in the system. You were never registered."

"No... registered marriage?" Sophie repeated the words softly, her eyes burning.

She lowered her head and smiled.

Of course.

The Carter family had fooled her from the start.

They gave her a fake marriage certificate, using her and Wilson family's resources for their gain.

In that long marriage, Daniel seemed to love her passionately, but something always felt off.

She had her doubts, but Daniel brushed them off, saying his memory loss had changed him, that it was normal.

On her deathbed, tubes everywhere, with only hours left, Daniel spoke the truth.

He said, "Sophie, sometimes I wish you hadn't found me. I could've stayed Danny the fisher, happy in Seaside Village. Being your husband was exhausting. Being the Carter heir was exhausting."

He paused, gazing out the window, his eyes soft. "In the next life, I want to live carefree with Lily in Seaside Village."

Looking back, it was laughable.

Even more laughable, when the Carter family faced its worst crisis, Wilson family used every connection and resource to stabilize Daniel's position.

Yet less than a year after her death, Daniel ruthlessly took over her family's company. The elders who fought for the Carters were all pushed out.

The marriage Sophie devoted her life to destroyed her family.

"So... it was true." Sophie laughed until tears fell.

The rain had stopped when she left city hall.

She stood on the street and tore the fake marriage certificate to pieces without hesitation.

Her phone buzzed in her pocket, the screen flashing with Norvo Medical Academy.

Months ago, an overseas mentor invited her to continue her medical studies.

In her past life, she declined for Daniel, locking her scalpel in a drawer forever.

She locked herself away too.

She stared at the screen, took a deep breath, and pressed accept.

"Sophie, are you sure you won't reconsider?" The professor's kind voice came through.

"Professor," she said. "I'm in. I'll handle the paperwork and be there in a month."

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

Katie Oettgen

As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

Xiao Xiaosu

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.
