Winning Back the Wife

Face Slapping

System

Bias

Independence

Scumbag

Tragic Love

Plot Twists

Melodramatic

To win Samuel Zane’s heart, I lost everything. My family was ruined, and I was forced onto an operating table so he could take my heart and save his adopted sister, Xenia Zane, whose organs were failing. At the critical moment, William Zane disguised himself as a doctor and rescued me. We left the country and started a new life overseas. I used all my points to change my target from Samuel to William. “Host, I need to remind you that if you fail again after changing your target, you will be reincarnated as an animal and never become human again.” I looked at William as he knelt before me with a ring in his hand. I said firmly, “I do.” But when I gave birth to our daughter, I saw two figures standing outside my hospital room. William handed our daughter to Samuel and said, “Samuel, you’re rushing this. We need to wait until her organs are fully developed before we can take them.” Samuel’s expression remained cold. “Thanks to your plan, we were able to grow a healthy, young heart for Xenia. Don’t worry. We can just use an organ maturation agent.” “But…” “William, don’t tell me you’ve fallen for that woman.” “Of course not!” I heard him deny it immediately. “I endured everything for Xenia.” The moment he finished speaking, the system’s robotic voice rang in my mind. “Host, your mission has failed. In one month, you will be reincarnated as an animal.”

Chapter 1

I closed my eyes. My body felt weak, and my face was deathly pale.

The conversation outside the room went on.

“Now that we have the child, we don’t need Natalie anymore. You should dump her as soon as possible.

“I should thank you for the plan you came up with back then. Not only did it help me get rid of her, but it also made her willingly have your child and provide Xenia with a suitable organ donor.”

Samuel Zane’s voice carried the same disgust for me as always. I had heard that tone of voice countless times when I was trying to win his heart.

I thought I had escaped that voice forever. I never expected every part of it to be nothing but a carefully planned lie.

“I’ll think about it. Take good care of Xenia. Tell her I miss her.”

Samuel’s footsteps faded into the distance. William Zane came into the room.

He closed the door as quietly as he could, as if he were afraid he might wake me.

It was a thoughtful gesture, but it could not chase away the iciness I felt inside.

I opened my eyes and looked straight at him.

“Natalie, you’re awake. How are you feeling? Does anything hurt?”

William froze for a second. Then, the look of concern I knew so well returned to his face. He wrapped an arm around me and gently pulled me into his embrace.

His deep voice sounded above my head.

“Natalie, I have some bad news. The baby you gave birth to… was stillborn.”

Even though I had prepared myself, I felt my breath catch for a moment.

“But don’t worry. We’re still young. We’ll have lots of children!”

I sneered. Tears welled up in my eyes.

To William, the child I had waited for with all my heart—the child born from our love—was nothing more than an insignificant object.

Even our relationship had been nothing but a lie he created.

When he saw me cry, he immediately kissed my cheek. He looked at me with heartache and kept whispering words of comfort.

It was as if he still loved me.

“All right, don’t cry. It hurts me to see you like this. Once you’ve recovered, we’ll have another baby.”

My hand clenched into a fist beneath the blanket.

I looked at the thirty-day countdown that flashed in my mind. Then, I looked at William’s loving face. I closed my eyes in despair.

‘William, we’ll never have another child,’ I thought. ‘Soon, I’ll disappear from this world.’

…

After the countdown began, my body started to fail at an alarming rate.

William was frantic. He brought in one specialist after another to examine me. Later, he stayed home and took care of me himself.

“Natalie, try my cooking. I learned how to make this just for you!”William placed a bowl of creamy fish soup before me.I looked at him weakly and noticed the bandage wrapped around his finger.He had always been like this. He would try anything for me, even if it meant hurting himself.But his gestures would never move me again.I turned my head away and silently refused.William did not get upset. Instead, he scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew on it carefully until it cooled, and brought it to my lips.“Natalie, just eat a little. You already feel so weak. If this continues, you won’t be able to take it.”I sneered inwardly, but I opened my mouth and tasted the soup.William was right. I needed to get better so I could cut ties with him completely. Even if I died, I would make sure my last moments on this earth were not as his wife.I ate one spoonful after another until I could not eat anymore. Then, I made up an excuse to send William away so I would not have to see him

The sky grew dark, but the house no longer held the warmth of another person being present.I was just about to call the hospital when William came back.“What happened to you? Didn’t I tell you to take care of yourself? How did you let yourself get this bad?”He looked exhausted from the journey, and his words were harsh the moment he walked in.I turned away and did not answer him.William’s expression softened. He quickly returned to the gentle and familiar version of himself.His voice grew softer, almost as if he were comforting a child.“Natalie, I’m not blaming you, but you really can’t get hurt again. As long as you focus on getting better, I’ll do anything you ask.”I suddenly opened my eyes and made a request.“I want to go back to the country.”William froze for a moment, then quickly agreed.“Okay. We’ll go back. Although our daughter was unfortunate enough to pass away, I still gave her a name. Once we return, we can build a grave for her.“Her name is Xena Zan

They said they were worried I would offend Xenia.A week later, the Zane residence suddenly became lively. William came to find me himself.“Tonight is Xenia’s birthday banquet. There will be a lot of guests. Don’t wander around.“If you need to leave the basement, remember to wear this mask.”He handed me a mask. I was silent for a long while before I finally took it.I no longer had the strength to argue with William. It was better to avoid making things more complicated.When night fell, cheerful music filled the air outside. Meanwhile, I was so hungry in the basement that I felt dizzy.Everyone in the Zane residence was busy preparing for Xenia’s birthday banquet. How could they remember that there was someone in the basement who had not eaten?I could not hold on any longer. I put on the mask and went to the kitchen to find something to eat.The moment I stepped into the living room, I looked up and saw Xenia on the staircase.She was dressed beautifully. Her face was a

She pretended to help me up and deliberately pulled off my mask.“Oh, aren’t you the pathetic girl who used to follow Samuel around? How do you still have the nerve to show up at our house?”She looked surprised as she leaned into Samuel’s arms, then turned to look at William.The people around us immediately looked at me in disgust.To them, I was nothing more than a foolish woman who had squandered her family’s fortune on the Zane family, left her parents with nothing, and driven them to take their own lives.But they did not know the truth. The Zane family had taken advantage of my mission and deceived me.I clenched my fists, raised my head, and decided to reveal everything.“What do you know? The Zane family was the one that kept coming after me! They even had a forbidden relationship between adopted siblings…”Samuel and William’s expressions changed immediately.Samuel lifted his leg and kicked me to stop me. William called for someone to drag me back to the basement.

[Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.]“The target’s affection level has reached maximum. Punishment suspended.”I trembled. I slowly opened my eyes and asked the system in confusion, “What happened?”“Hello, host. The affection level of your target, William Zane, has reached 100%. The mission will be reevaluated.“According to the rules, the mission result can’t be changed. However, you may continue the mission by using his affection level.”‘William’s affection level for me was 100%?’ I thought in confusion.I could not understand. How could those two things be connected? I could no longer see even the slightest bit of love from him.“Host, do you choose to continue the mission?”The system urged me as the selection panel appeared in front of me.I looked at the options in front of me and thought for a while before pressing confirm.“But I want to use the reversal card. I want William to be the one who wins my heart.”…Meanwhile, William kept pounding on the door. His eyes shone with

I was scrolling through the news when the Zane family appeared on the trending list again.[Shocking! The Zane brothers are suspected of having a conflict. Will the brothers turn against each other?]A falling out…This was the first move I had made against the Zane family. After all, an unstable William alone could bring countless uncertainties.When I saw Xenia’s unpleasant face in the news, I could not help but laugh.That night, William came to my apartment again.There were bruises on his face. Samuel must have been the one who inflicted them on him.“Natalie, I got the key from Samuel. You can go see our child now.”I opened the door and let him in.He sat across from me. He was overwhelmed by the fact that I had allowed him inside. Then, he carefully said, “Natalie, after we see our child, let’s get remarried.“I already talked to Samuel. We’ll raise her well and keep her safe. We won’t use that organ maturation agent anymore.”I slapped his hand away and asked mockin

Her face looked awful, and the hatred in her eyes was impossible to hide.“Do you really have to oppose me at every turn?”I scoffed. The guilty one was playing the victim.I stepped closer, brushed my finger across her face, and rubbed my fingertips together.“Your foundation isn’t blended properly. It’s starting to cake.”Xenia immediately stepped back in shock. I smiled and continued, “You’ve kept up this act for so long. Don’t expose yourself now. After all, the Zane family has done plenty of terrible things for your sake.”“Don’t slander me! Everyone in the city knows that I’m sick!”“Yes, your health is poor, but you’re nowhere near the point of organ failure. To keep those two brothers of yours by your side for the rest of their lives, you really went all out.”I discovered this when I stood at the threshold of reincarnation.The visions I saw there revealed many secret details.When I was trying to complete my mission with Samuel, I had already checked our blood typ

William looked surprised for a moment, but he quickly put on a flattering smile.“The culture and customs there are so different. I’m worried you won’t be able to get used to it. You love pastries, and you have a Summersetian palate. Remember when we got married overseas? You lost so much weight! I cooked for you at home every day, and I finally helped you gain the weight back—”William kept talking, but I grew impatient and cut him off.“I chose Fance because it’s far away from you.” I looked at him and sneered. “That’s the real reason.”I finished packing my things and stood up.William stood up with me. He wanted to make one last attempt to stop me.But I shoved a stack of documents into his arms.“This is the last gift I’ll ever give you.”He opened the files. The first thing he saw was Xenia’s medical report. It showed that she only suffered from mild malnutrition.There were also a large number of intimate photos.Some were of her with Samuel, and others were with her l

The more William spoke, the more moved he was. But I watched him with cold indifference.He would never know that every bit of kindness I had shown him had become a slap in the face that came back to me.All it did was make me feel that everything I had done was not worth it.“Enough! I don’t care what happens to you, but Xenia’s health is fragile. She can’t handle any more trouble. If you two want to be a pair of tragic lovers, get out of here together! You’ll have nothing to do with the Zane family anymore.”Samuel glanced at me out of the corner of his eye.He probably still thought I was the one trying to turn them against each other.That was okay with me. I would give him what he wanted to believe.“Samuel, you value Xenia so much that you helped plan all of this, didn’t you? How did you never notice that something was wrong with her?“She faked her illness, and she has been sleeping around. The precious sister you protected for so long only sees you as a fool.”I placed
