Latest Second Chance Novel

She had an affair. The other party was a scumbag, and also her brother—oh, her stepbrother. She was just lonely and thought he was only fooling around too. Unexpectedly, things spiraled out of control and she was almost caught.

Her husband abused her, leaving her bruised and battered. She ran away from home, intending to divorce. Before the lawsuit could even begin, her husband died unexpectedly, and she discovered she was pregnant.

Her life completely derailed, becoming a joke and gossip. At this time, the man she had an affair with, her stepbrother, promised, "I'll marry you, no matter what my family thinks."

Perhaps the story could have ended happily there, but she refused: "I won't marry you. I don't want to jump into another cage."

Six years later, he completely lowered his stance, and she thoroughly understood the meaning of a "cage." Only then did their respective paths finally connect. This story features a pseudo-incestuous, immoral relationship, imperfect characters, and both leads are not virgins.

Please note: The beginning is melodramatic, while the later parts focus on character growth. It's not a "strong female lead" or "feel-good" read, so proceed with caution if you mind!

【Brother Takes Younger Brother's Wife + Deliberate Seduction】

(Black-bellied Vicious Woman vs. Ascetic & Cold Young Grand Tutor)

In her previous life, Pei Jingxu faithfully observed three years of widowhood for her husband, Rong Xuanzhou, who was presumed dead in battle. However, she waited only for him to return to the capital with Bai Shutong, the widow of his comrade, and their two children.

Rong family parents remained silent, only urging her to be virtuous and magnanimous. Bai Shutong possessed peerless beauty, and soon after arriving in the capital, she caused powerful nobles to vie for her favor. Even Rong Xuanzhou was captivated, showing her gentle care and protection.

Ultimately, Pei Jingxu was drowned in a lotus pond by an admirer of Bai Shutong, as a token of allegiance. Only at the brink of death did she realize she was living in a storybook featuring a 'magnet for everyone's love,' and she was merely a stumbling block on the path to the heroine Bai Shutong's glorious reign in the capital.

Reborn into this life, Pei Jingxu, as the vicious female supporting character, realized she needed to find a powerful backer before the heroine returned to the capital. Thus, her thoughts turned to the peerlessly elegant, ethereal and upright eldest son of the Rong family, the current Grand Tutor — Rong Jianxue.

That night, Pei Jingxu, with crimson-tinged eyes and thinly clad, soaking wet clothes, wept like a pear blossom bathed in rain as she knocked on his door. "Brother-in-law, Second Brother isn't here, A'Xu is really scared..." Rong Jianxue's gaze was cold and deep, and the Buddhist beads concealed in his sleeve tightened one by one.

After Rong Xuanzhou returned to the capital, he discovered that his 'plain and simple' wife no longer clung to him, but instead frequently entered and exited his elder brother's residence. Having always known his elder brother to be stern, Rong Xuanzhou coldly told her, "If you soften your stance, I'll ask Big Brother not to punish you."

Behind the screen, Rong Jianxue pulled her half-exposed jade arm back. The man's gaze was murky, and he answered for her in a hoarse voice, "She deserves punishment."

Later, Pei Jingxu ran away. Outside the city, private soldiers lined up, and the man approached her step by step, his eyes filled with overwhelming desire. "A'Xu is right, we should have a child now."

Reminder for the plot: The male lead and the male supporting character are not blood brothers.

Five years ago, Lin Sui abandoned her boyfriend of seven years, Qin Chen, to marry the playboy Zhou Dang, all to pay for her father's medical treatment.

Five years later, Lin Sui nearly got into a car accident when she heard the news that Qin Chen was getting married. For these five years, she bought cheap goods and ate fast food, all to save money quickly and repay the debts incurred for her father, hoping to divorce early.

But she never expected that Qin Chen had long since moved on. Her father had passed away, and she had no other relatives in this world. She only lived once, so why couldn't she follow her heart?

Lin Sui decided that no matter if Qin Chen was getting married or not, she would try her best to win him back! Even if a broken mirror is hard to mend, she would force it. What about marriage? What about morality?

She only knew that out of thousands of men in this world, she only wanted him! But who could tell her why her ex-husband suddenly clung to her and refused to let go? And why did she also start to care about her ex-husband?

Two men, how should she choose? Wait, who are these others who are relentlessly pursuing her?

Su Jianwei, who had barely survived five years in the apocalypse, was struck by lightning and transported to the unfamiliar 90s, becoming the bullied high school girl Su Jianwei, who had died.

If someone spread rumors, she would tear their mouth open. If she was bullied, she would return the favor twofold, an eye for an eye!

Kick the scumbag dad who tricked her mother into marriage, and get double the pampering from her mysterious and beautiful mother; precious antiques and curiosities came into her possession, and top talents followed her.

She wanted all the real estate and land, snatching up bargains everywhere with her space ability. However, Su Jianwei never expected that she could also pick up a grown man on her bargain-hunting journey.

Upholding the principle of not casually picking up men from the roadside and protecting the environment, the "kind" Su Jianwei tossed the man lying on the roadside into a trash can.

One day, the man she had thrown into the trash can turned out to be the powerful CEO of a financial conglomerate in the Imperial Capital!

Shen Huan had followed Zhou Jingxiu for twelve years, only to receive the news that he was to be engaged to her elder sister.

"Just a plain and boring little girl, how could I possibly like her? I only treat her as a younger sister." Twelve years of pursuit became a joke.

After an accident that damaged her head, causing amnesia, Shen Huan was coaxed and tricked home by Fu Siyan, Zhou Jingxiu's rival.

When the girl he thought would always belong to him truly left, Zhou Jingxiu frantically searched for her. "Huanhuan, come back with me, I..."

Before Zhou Jingxiu could finish speaking, Shen Huan put all her strength into slapping him across the face, then turned and ran towards the man behind her. "Brother, I just slapped the jerk. Did I do well?"

From Fu Siyan's perspective: He originally only wanted to join the fun and mess with that idiot Zhou Jingxiu. Who would've thought he'd trick a little empress home? The little girl was soft and gentle, as if speaking too loudly could shatter her. There was no other way but to pamper her.

Before Shen Huan was nineteen, she liked Zhou Jingxiu the most and hated Fu Siyan the most. After she turned nineteen, Shen Huan liked Fu Siyan the most. As for Zhou Jingxiu, he had long become an insignificant existence.

This is the story of a girl who, feeling unloved and uncared for, worked hard to be obedient and sensible. After meeting true love, she gradually opened up and was spoiled into a charming little princess.

My husband killed me with his own hands to save the daughter he had with his mistress.

He thought I could be resurrected, so he cryogenically preserved my body. Day and night, he cleaned me, waiting for me to awaken, hoping to live with me and our children again.

But he didn't know that I could never truly come back to life. Because my only chance at resurrection was exchanged for him forgetting his past and being reborn for eternity, never entering reincarnation.

All he wanted was for me to return to celebrate his birthday with him, to have children with him, and to spend this one precious lifetime happily with him. Yet, he personally severed the only thread of love we had in this one life.

Later, my soul transmigrated into his daughter. I coldly watched him and my sister's intimate affection during the day, only for him to hold my frozen corpse at night, pouring out his heart and begging me to resurrect quickly.

As time passed, my husband, realizing I would never revive, went insane. Even later, he regained his memories, tormented by unbearable regret, and chose to be buried with our son for my sake.

However, when I suddenly looked back, I discovered that the man who had always protected me was actually my husband's elder brother. On the day I married my ex-husband's elder brother, I saw my ex-husband's soul, which had been buried with me, frantically jumping, trying to prevent us from kissing.

But he was merely a wandering soul unable to reincarnate, destined to be forever trapped by my side, watching me and another in loving embrace, enduring agonizing heartbreak with no hope of release.

After almost drowning, Wen Xiuan awakens to bullet comments, discovering that she is actually in a novel!

Her savior, it turns out, is a scheming "phoenix man" (a man who rises from poverty through marriage) male lead. He approached her solely to return to the city and intends to destroy her entire family!

Furthermore, the widow Gu Yiyi is secretly involved with the male lead and even bore him a son. After the Wen family is eliminated, they plan to use the Wen family's resources to live prosperous lives!

Wen Xiuan resolutely refuses to let them succeed! She directly exposes the male lead's wicked intentions in front of everyone in the countryside, tearing apart the scumbag man and the slutty woman!

Unexpectedly, guided by the bullet comments, she also sees the male second lead's deep affection for her...

When did she suddenly realize he was rotten? After three years of devoted youth and a century-level proposal that stunned the entire capital, everyone said Qiao Xu'an was Qu Ge's salvation after enduring hardships.

The distinguished Young Master Qiao would accompany her daily to buy groceries and cook, even kneeling in the bathroom in his seven-figure custom suit to fix her water pipes. On their anniversary, he desired her more fiercely than ever, as if wanting to meld her into his body.

Yet, she unintentionally uncovered a cruel secret from the man beside her. "Wanwan, I love you more than anyone else in this world. But I cannot love you. I can only be your non-biological brother."

It turned out that his display of affection and lowering his status was merely to protect the woman who had plunged her into an abyss. For him, who sat in the position of "Mrs. Qiao" didn't matter at all.

Because the one he truly loved could never be his lover. In that case, she didn't want his rotten heart anymore. Escaping the abyss of despair to seek revenge, a billionaire chaebol boss's helicopter hovered above her head: "Don't be afraid, come with me."

While Qiao Xu'an was still waiting for her to docilely put on the wedding dress and continue to gloss over things for him, she had already flown across the ocean...

Sang Feiwan transmigrated into a novel set in the 80s, becoming the foil to the female protagonist. The original protagonist was a hardworking, inspiring rural girl from a poor family spanning three generations.

In contrast, Sang Feiwan was a spoiled, lazy heiress from a capitalist family. The protagonist was a strong, independent woman who didn't rely on men, while Sang Feiwan was an idle, dramatic freeloader dependent on her husband.

Sang Feiwan declared, "Sorry, but I'm determined to be this freeloader." She believed, "Whoever wants to be diligent can be; I'm naturally destined for a life of enjoyment and can't endure any hardship or do any work."

However, the plot took an unexpected turn. Her hot-tempered, rough husband saw her reddened feet, tenderly held them in his palm, and kissed them repeatedly, saying, "Poor thing, they're red again. Don't wear these shoes; I'll have someone buy several new pairs from the shoe store."

Her garrulous mother-in-law, who used to nag her about being lazy, now said, "My good daughter-in-law, you're not cut out for work; you don't need to do anything." Her younger siblings all declared, "Our sister-in-law doesn't need to work; we'll earn money for her to spend!"

Synopsis: [Substitute Marriage + Broken Mirror Reunited + Chase Love Cremation Ground + On the Run with a Child + Female Lead Has a Mask After Reunion]

Shen Lianxiu was betrothed by her stepmother to be the second wife of a merchant. Her life as a merchant's wife seemed destined to be unremarkable. However, a few days before her wedding, she secretly took the place of her stepsister, Shen Wuyu, who was born of her stepmother, and married into the Duke Cheng's residence.

Zhou Linjin, the heir of Duke Cheng's residence, fell in love with Shen Wuyu at first sight, but Shen Wuyu suddenly disappeared without a trace. Just as the stepmother was reluctantly preparing to break off the engagement, Zhou Linjin unexpectedly lost his sight.

The stepmother, unwilling to give up such a wealthy in-law, devised the plan of a substitute marriage. Zhou Linjin was a gentleman as pure as jade, and after their marriage, he cherished Shen Lianxiu immensely. Shen Lianxiu basked in Zhou Linjin's affection.

Only she knew that everything Zhou Linjin gave her was actually meant for Shen Wuyu; he was only kind to Shen Wuyu, and she herself received nothing. The good times did not last. On the day Shen Wuyu returned, she immediately exposed Shen Lianxiu as an imposter.

She also accused Shen Lianxiu of meticulously plotting to make her sister disappear and then impersonating her. Zhou Linjin said, "The one entered into the ancestral records is Shen Wuyu. If you stay, your name will be unjustified, and Duke Cheng's residence cannot accommodate a woman who harmed her own sister. Considering your diligent service, take the money and leave."

The next day, Shen Lianxiu resolutely left alone, without taking a single cent from the Duke's residence. After Shen Lianxiu left, everything returned to normal. Not long after, Zhou Linjin's eyesight recovered.

When he finally saw his wife clearly again, it was clearly the face that had haunted his dreams, yet for some reason, Zhou Linjin's heart suddenly ached unbearably. It was then that he understood that the person before his eyes and the one in his heart were no longer the same person.

***

Five years after Zhou Linjin learned of Shen Lianxiu's death, he was ordered to investigate a case in another region. There, he met a woman. The woman couldn't speak, her husband had died, she practiced medicine in the countryside, and she had a child of three or four years.

He had never seen her before, yet he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity. Zhou Linjin didn't know where this feeling came from; he just didn't want his heart, which had been cold for five years, to warm up again.

It was impossible for anyone in this world to make him feel the same way he felt about Shen Lianxiu, and he couldn't let Shen Lianxiu down a second time. So, Zhou Linjin planned to leave quickly after solving the case.

Until one day, he found a prescription and was shocked to realize that the handwriting on it was identical to Shen Lianxiu's.
