A Vow of Shattered Glass
By @john1208
Vierra Tarris bled to death in a freezing, isolated childbed, screaming for a husband who was busy crowning his mistress in the next wing of the estate. Vierra had spent years fiercely defending Garrick’s claim to the High Seat, using her blistering temper and unmatched blade to crush his enemies, only to be discarded the moment she produced an heir. When she opens her eyes, she is not in the afterlife. She is mid-swing in a tavern brawl, exactly five years in the past. Realizing she has a second chance, Vierra swallows her fiery rage and begins a meticulously cold game of revenge. She abandons Garrick and targets the one man who can dismantle his life: Zarek Vossen, Garrick’s bitterest rival and the true, rightful heir Garrick secretly usurped. To secure Zarek’s blade, Vierra must seduce the notoriously aloof outcast, promising him the throne if he helps her banish Garrick's mistress to the desolate, impoverished Isle of Kray. But as Vierra weaves her trap and a slow-burning attraction ignites with Zarek, she uncovers a chilling discrepancy. Will her cleverly planned ruin unravel when she discovers her most trusted confidante holds the knife at her back?

Throttle and Treason
By @john1208
When a battered courier drone drops a locked cold-box on Navia Corton's porch containing a blood-stained baby blanket, the horrific memories of her past life violently awaken. She remembers bleeding out in an illegal clinic's delivery room, screaming for help while her husband, Ondrik, partied on a yacht with his mistress, Mirella. Reborn and burning with a hot-tempered rage, Navia refuses to be a victim again. To protect her innocent younger brother Nico, she seeks out Jaro Tane - her fiercely loyal childhood bodyguard who has ruthlessly climbed the underworld ladder to become a billionaire kingpin. Together, they launch a high-octane blitz to steal Ondrik's elite syndicate clients one by one, intercepting his armored convoys and destroying his reputation. As Navia sets the stage to expose Mirella as a serial grifter on a live television broadcast, her explosive vengeance seems perfect. But Navia's most trusted mentor and closest ally in the underworld is feeding her intel for a sinister reason. Will her newfound romance and tactical brilliance be enough to survive when she realizes the true architect of her death has been standing beside her all along?

A Stolen Face for a Stolen Life
By @john1208
The screech of tires and shattered glass were my husband's final gifts to me. I died as Juna, trapped in a mangled car while Brencis walked away with his mistress. But death was only a detour. I woke up months later in the body of Inesca Ruz, a famously sheltered heiress - and Brencis’s next target. Sitting across from a genius detective in a dim cafe, I slide a folder across the table, striking the deal that will begin my second life. Detective Renzo Varga was my fiercest rival in my past life, a man who despised my relentless methods. Now, he’s the only one who can help me. Playing the part of a naive, doe-eyed victim, I silently gather the bloody evidence of Brencis’s crimes, hiding my quiet ruthlessness behind Inesca’s sweet smile. I am methodically orchestrating the live TV broadcast that will expose his mistress as a serial scammer and burn their lives to ash. But as Renzo begins to recognize my old habits in this new face, and my best friend’s dark secret threatens to unravel everything, will my stolen identity survive long enough to see their absolute ruin?

I Bought My Killer's Empire
By @john1208
The cold marble of the gala floor was still vibrating from the murmurs of the crowd when my husband, Brevin, took the microphone to publicly brand me a hysterical burden. I didn't cry. Not this time. I still felt the phantom wind of falling from our penthouse balcony, pushed to my death by Brevin and his smirking mistress, Olenka. But as I stand here humiliated in my second life, a strange notification vibrates on my phone. It’s an encrypted transfer of billions, alongside a voice note recorded by me, moments before I was pushed. My murdered self knew she was going to die - and she successfully sent her shadow-empire's access codes back in time. I have always been painfully shy, but when it comes to protecting my little brother Timo, I am unmovable. With my future self’s war chest, I approach the one man Brevin fears: Zaren Ilves, my fiercely loyal childhood bodyguard who mysteriously returned as a self-made billionaire. Together, we’ll orchestrate a hostile takeover to fire Brevin on a global broadcast, while Olenka’s obsession with perfection ends on a cheap surgeon’s table. But will Zaren’s fierce devotion shatter the walls around my heavily guarded heart before the final hammer falls?

You're Fired, Darling
By @john1208
I spent three agonizing years bedridden, coughing up blood while my husband Torgal paraded his mistress around the neon-lit metropolis of Veltaris. When his daily doses of poison finally finished the job, I expected oblivion. Instead, I woke up five years in the past, standing at the exact gala where he first tried to publicly humiliate me! But here is the absolute kicker: I found an obsidian bank card in my pocket wrapped in a handwritten note from myself. My dying past-self hadn't just been weeping in bed; she spent those three years ruthlessly manipulating underground markets from a burner phone, setting up a limitless secret fortune for my second life! With infinite petty cash and zero shame, my goals are gloriously simple. Step one: team up with Drazhan, Torgal’s infuriatingly handsome, cynical rival who is actually the rightful heir to the Venz empire. Step two: buy my husband’s entire company out from under him and fire him on live television. Step three: hand his sniveling mistress a mop and point her to my lobby. But as Drazhan and I trade wicked insults and dismantle our mutual enemies, I have to wonder - is my fake alliance with my biggest rival turning into something dangerously real?
