I Became The Wife Of The Male Lead Chapter 20

When covert intelligence officer Remington Kessel returns home after five years abroad, he finds his entire existence wiped clean. His younger brother, Chris, used a forged psychiatric evaluation, a coerced notary, and forced board votes to declare Remington legally incompetent, seize control of the multibillion-dollar Kessel Group, and convince their mother he was dangerously unhinged. Refusing to resort to violence, Remington wages a cold, methodical war of forensic strategy. Operating from the shadows, he targets the load-bearing pillars of Chris's conspiracy: an ousted board member hiding audio evidence, a blackmailed notary holding a damning paper trail, and the corrupt psychiatrist paid to sign off on false declarations. As Remington gathers an irrefutable chain of evidence, he leaves the complete dossier at his family’s kitchen table—forcing a silent, devastating reckoning that shatters Chris's control and reclaims both his stolen legacy and his name.

“Mission is the reason people exist” In his previous life, Raymond was a wildlife biologist with the promise of career advancement, but an accident caused him to lose his legs at a very young age. From there, he retreated into the background, becoming a logistics, remote facilitator, and instructor for other young people. A part of his enthusiasm was no longer causing him to gradually forget what an active guy he used to be. He thought everything would pass like that, but a new mission accidentally welcomed him into the Great Myth world. A fanciful world in the story where two species: humans and dragons are having a fierce battle. He was summoned by the dragon king to continue his path, protecting the safety of dragons. Reincarnation brings with him in-depth knowledge of the characteristics and behavior of wild animals, whether Raymond fulfills his mission to resolve the conflict between the two factions, or will he be failed because of the dangerous force lurking behind.

As the son-in-law of a middle-class family, Alexander Reynolds lived a life no different from that of a servant. His wife's family despised him and forbade his daughter from calling him "dad." They humiliated and demeaned him daily, with only his wife standing by his side, providing him with emotional support.

Little did they know that Alexander was the heir to the powerful Reynolds family. If his mother hadn't taken him away years ago, he wouldn't have ended up in such an impoverished state.

"You're nothing but a dog chasing after women who would rather spit on you than look at you." That was the last thing Maxver Cole heard before his five beast wives walked out the door, laughing, rushing into the arms of another man without a single glance back. They expected him to crawl. To beg. To break. Instead, he signed the divorce papers with a smile. Because the Maxver they married was dead. The man who woke up in his body came from another world, and he had zero interest in keeping women who treated him like garbage under their shoes. But freedom came with a price. A system counting down his final hours. A contamination level eating him alive from the inside. And a single brutal truth: without beast wives willing to purify him, he would be dead before the week was over. Then the Matching Center notification hit. Five new wives. All of them powerful. All of them stunning. All matched at one hundred percent compatibility, a number the staff had never seen in nineteen years. The women who threw him away stopped laughing real quick. "You divorced a monster," the world told his new wives. They walked through his door anyway.

For three years, Julian Cross played the perfect, obedient house husband, swallowing every insult from his entitled wife and her venomous family just to pay off his dead father's debts. His reward? A stack of divorce papers thrown in his face on their anniversary, and a mocking laugh as she walked out the door with a billionaire trust-fund kid. "Sign the papers, you useless parasite," she sneered, looking down at him like he was garbage. "You're a broke deadbeat, Julian. You'll never amount to anything." Julian didn't argue. He didn't beg. He just looked at the glowing blue screen only he could see, and chose Option 2. CRACK. He slapped her across the face, signed the papers, and walked out into the night. [Ding! Choice confirmed. Reward: $10,000,000,000 in liquid cash, God-Level Medical Skills, and a 30% controlling stake in her new boyfriend's company.] Now, the "trash" ex-husband is buying out their country club just to evict them on the spot. He’s pulling dying billionaires back from the brink of death to build an untouchable empire, and ruthlessly crushing the arrogant elites who thought they could step on him. "You thought I was a stray dog you could just kick around?" Julian whispered, looking down at his ruined ex-wife and her bankrupt new boyfriend as they begged on their knees. "You forgot one thing about stray dogs. We bite."

Jasper had already died once. In his previous life, he was a rising actor whose career was destroyed after he was falsely accused of murder. Betrayed by the people closest to him, he eventually died with nothing left behind. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself inside a cultivation novel he had read from beginning to end. Worse, he had become Jasper Stoneheart, a useless young master destined to die during the early stages of the original story. But Jasper knew the plot. He knew which families would rise and fall, which characters would become legends, and which places would eventually turn into killing grounds. With that knowledge, he decided that his second life would be different. He didn't care about becoming the strongest cultivator in existence. After everything he had experienced, all Jasper wanted was a peaceful life where nobody knew his name. With the help of a mysterious system and a strange blindfold containing the Eye of the Void, Jasper began changing his fate. Six years later, he finally believed he had succeeded. Living as a blind man in a quiet village, Jasper had a loving wife, a daughter, and the peaceful home he had always wanted. His cultivation remained hidden, and the world had forgotten he existed. Unfortunately, Jasper had made one mistake. He never realized that the village he escaped to wasn't outside the story. It was at the very heart of it. His gentle wife hides a terrifying identity, the original protagonist is still following his destined path, and the empire Jasper unknowingly lives within is destined to become the greatest battlefield in the novel. Jasper thought he had escaped his fate. Instead, he became the Emperor standing at its center.

Nathan Cole gave everything to his marriage. He turned down promotions. He emptied his savings. He woke up every morning and chose his family even when his family stopped choosing him back. For six years he told himself that love was a decision, not a feeling, and he kept making it long after Vivienne had quietly stopped. Then came the diagnosis. Progressive Myelin Decay Syndrome. Rare. Degenerative. Expensive to treat. And the optimal window for treatment had almost completely passed, because every time Nathan had tried to get Lily seen, Vivienne had told him he was overreacting. Lily was seven years old. She wanted one thing for her birthday. Not gifts. Not a party. Just her mother standing in the same room long enough to watch her blow out the candles. It should have been effortless. Instead Nathan watched his wife choose a man's son over her own daughter. Watched her dismiss a dying child's collapse as manipulation. Watched her drive away and leave them on the side of a road while Lily fought to breathe in his arms. He buried his daughter alone on a quiet morning while Vivienne celebrated someone else's birthday at home. ~.~ When a mother chooses the wrong child to save. And a father is left with nothing but a drawing and a promise he made while running. How do you rebuild a life from the wreckage of everything you gave away?

The world ended in a single night, and survival became a brutal game of instinct and luck. I was nobody before it happened, just another man trying to get by. Now, I have something no one else does—a system that rewards me for giving instead of taking. Every time I offer food, weapons, or shelter to a woman, I receive it back in insane multiples. But there’s a catch. The less she trusts me, the greater the reward. Fear, hatred, even betrayal… they make me stronger. At first, it feels like a miracle. I rise faster than anyone, building power while others struggle to stay alive. But the deeper I go, the clearer it becomes that this system isn’t random. It’s guiding me toward certain women—dangerous ones. Broken ones. Not entirely human ones. Some want to use me. Some want me dead. And some… are connected to the very thing that destroyed the world. Now I have to decide. Do I keep playing this game and become unstoppable? Or do I stop before I lose what little humanity I have left? Because the more I give… the more I feel like I’m being used too.
