After I Left This World, My Husband Went Insane

On my birthday, Braden left me for the 99th time to chase after his suicidal elusive ideal. I informed the system, "I'm giving up on this mission. I'm exhausted." For a full twelve years, I pulled out all the stops to warm Braden's heart, but I never succeeded. The system told me that if I died in this world, I could return to my original world. The first time, I cut my wrists in the bathroom. Braden kicked the door open and rushed me to the hospital, accusing me of playing the victim for attention. The second time, I swallowed an entire bottle of sleeping pills. He burst in at the last moment, cradling me in his arms and sobbing, saying he realized his mistakes. But wait. There was still a third and fourth time to come.

Chapter 4

Xue Mingwei timidly pushed open the hospital room door, her eyes red and her slender fingers twisting the hem of her clothes.

She bit her lower lip, her voice barely audible, "Sister... I'm sorry... "

Xie Rongyu immediately stepped forward, his arm hovering protectively behind her, as if afraid she might fall.

"I-I really didn't mean to... " she sobbed, tears falling perfectly, "I was just... too scared... "

She lifted her tear-filled eyes to look at Xie Rongyu, like a deer caught in headlights, "Rongyu, my only family now... "

Xie Rongyu frowned empathetically, gently patting her back, "Don't cry, no one's blaming you."

I leaned against the headboard, quietly observing this performance.

"Sister... " she suddenly came towards me, but her legs gave way halfway, and Xie Rongyu quickly caught her by the waist.

She leaned into his embrace, her voice trembling, "I know you hate me... But I really... really only have Rongyu... "

Xie Rongyu gave me a reproachful glance, his tone softening, "She's been having a tough time lately... You should... "

Xue Mingwei timely let out a sob, burying her face in Xie Rongyu's chest.

He immediately tightened his arms around her, comforting her in a low voice, "It's okay, Mingwei, it's okay... "

I watched him gently stroke her hair, so naturally, so expertly.

"Just hang in there, okay?"

Suddenly, Xue Mingwei broke free from Xie Rongyu's embrace, stumbling to my bedside.

She clutched the corner of my blanket tightly, her knuckles turning white.

"Sister... I'm begging you... "

Her voice was choked with sobs, tears drenched my blanket, "Please give Rongyu back to me... I really... really only have him... "

She lifted her tear-streaked face, "Without him... I'll die... "

Xie Rongyu rushed over, pulling her into his arms, "Don't say that!"

His voice trembled as he gently wiped away her tears, "You'll be fine, I promise."

Xue Mingwei leaned into his chest, her frail shoulders shaking, "But sister... she hates me... "

She looked up at Xie Rongyu with tear-filled eyes, "Should I... should I just die... "

"Enough!" Xie Rongyu interrupted her sharply, but his tone quickly softened, "Don't do anything foolish... "

He looked at me, his eyes pleading, "Her current state is really... "

"Sister... " she began sobbing again, her fingers tightly gripping Xie Rongyu's collar, "I promise... once I'm better, I'll give Rongyu back to you... "

Xie Rongyu looked at me, his eyes pleading, "Once her condition stabilizes... "

Xue Mingwei trembled slightly in his arms, her fingers tightly clutching his lapel.

Xie Rongyu immediately lowered his head, his voice incredibly gentle, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

I turned my gaze to the window.

Xie Rongyu sighed softly, his tone gentle yet firm, "Once Mingwei recovers, I'll make amends.

We'll go on a holiday to Hawaii, just like we promised when we got married."

As soon as he finished speaking, the body in his arms suddenly stiffened.

Xue Mingwei's fingers clenched his collar tightly, her breathing becoming rapid.

"Make amends... ?" she murmured, repeating the word, her eyes growing unfocused, "You want... to make amends to her?"

Her voice became sharper, "What about me? You don't love me anymore?"

Xie Rongyu panicked, quickly cradling her face, "No, Mingwei, listen to me... "

"Liar!" Xue Mingwei suddenly screamed hysterically, clawing at her hair, "You're all lying to me!"

She pointed in my direction, tears smearing her face, "She's the one you love, isn't she? You're going to abandon me, aren't you?"

Xie Rongyu frantically held her struggling body, his voice pleading, "Mingwei, calm down!

I swear I only love you!"

He hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, "What I said about making amends was just... just to appease her, don't take it seriously... "

Xue Mingwei's cries abruptly stopped, she sniffled and looked up, "Really... ?"

"Of course it's true."

Xie Rongyu sighed with relief, gently kissing her forehead, "You'll always be my dear Mingwei."

He turned to look at me, his eyes carrying a hint of apology, yet unwaveringly firm, "You... understand, right?"

I calmly watched them, a mocking smile curling at the corner of my mouth.

Xie Rongyu seemed pained by my expression and quickly left the room with Xue Mingwei in his arms.

In the hallway, Xue Mingwei's tearful voice could be faintly heard, "Rongyu, keep your word... "

Followed by Xie Rongyu's gentle reassurance, "When have I ever lied to you... "

June woke up transmigrated into the body of a ruthless billionaire's toxic, disposable wife. Before she could even process the massive Beverly Hills mansion, a cold system voice announced she had exactly five minutes of lifespan remaining. To survive, she was forced to bind with the system and strictly maintain the original owner's "brainless, abusive drama queen" persona to earn hours to live.

He gently touched her hair, offering the one thing she desperately needed. "Stop crying. I'll handle it." Just as a spark of hope ignited in her chest, the system's critical death warning exploded in her skull: accepting his sympathy would instantly deduct thirty days of her life.

Reborn As The Cold Villain's Daughter

I woke up suffocating in the dark, only to find my mind trapped inside a tiny, plump, and entirely uncoordinated body. A cold, mechanical voice echoed in my brain, announcing that I was dead in my original world and had transmigrated into a corporate revenge novel as the six-month-old illegitimate daughter of Edward McClure, the story's ruthless villain. The system mercilessly outlined my doomed fate. Tonight, my cold-blooded father would abandon me to a state orphanage. By age two, he would officially sign my rights away, leaving me to die miserably at the hands of human traffickers. Outside my nursery, I could hear his terrifying footsteps approaching, his voice devoid of any human warmth as he debated throwing me out like garbage.

Why did I have to be reborn as the tragic cannon fodder of a tyrant destined to put a bullet in his own head? How was I supposed to win over a severe germaphobe when my unequipped infant reflexes made me literally pee and vomit all over his pristine Tom Ford suits? "Your ultimate mission is to prevent Edward McClure's self-destruction. Step one: Survive tonight's abandonment crisis."
