For seven years, I've endured the same three words from my husband every single day: "Get out, murderer."

Yes, my husband Phoenix—the fire captain who once whispered "I love you" in my ear—now looks at me with pure hatred every day, as if I'm the monster who killed his teammates.

But I didn't set those fires.

I was framed.

What's more twi...

On the day of my engagement, I died in the sea.

In this life, I will rewrite my destiny!

Three-year contract marriage, we stood in each other's blind spots. He drove me home, helped with my zipper, texted me at dawn—I didn't see. I wore the black dress he hated to watch his ex perform, learned to make breakfas...

I've always had an innate aversion to sticky textures—when I wore gloves to learn baking, my teacher snapped, "How can you be a chef if you won't even touch ingredients?"

He said, "I couldn't stop it. She was my fated mate."

I was heartbroken, but then I found out something that mad...

I married Dr. Zachary Palmer out of convenience. His golden hands are legendary in the OR, but in our bed? Let's just say it was a quick, humiliating failure. I was sure our marriage was a lost cause.
