Everyone might choose the first option for short suffering but longer gain, however Audrey chose to be a rich woman even though in the end she had to marry a man who didn't love her and would definitely betray her. The god granted Audrey's choice, removed the memories of her past life and their meeting. She reincarnated as a baby born in a rich family, the third child of Mr. Arthur Wijaya and Mrs. Jessica Wijaya.

2025 WSA Entry Grace was born and bred to be royalty. From an early age she was taught the importance of sacrifice for her family so that they succeeded, were stronger, better connected, and forever ambitious. She knew that she was a commodity for her family and that she would be exchanged for the best deal for the family. So when the old king of the kingdom of Lystra indicated that he wanted Grace to marry his son, Gabriel, her father jumped at the chance. And since it was for her family she readily agreed. Grace was not a loving wife or a good wife. She was a responsible wife. She never showed Gabriel love because she was never taught that this was something needed. Thusly she did what she had been taught to do. When the old king died a year after their marriage Grace managed the kingdom. When Gabriel went to war six months after that she continued to manage and improve the kingdom, even at eight months pregnant. So imagine her surprise when her husband returned from war three years later with a beautiful, young new wife. Now she is being put out of the only home she has known for the past four years and she has to endure being used again because divorce is not possible when you are loved by the people. She is not bitter because she blames herself. She learned, while her husband was away that love is a tangible thing and is needed to validate a union. But they were royals could such a thing be true for then as well? But when is enough, enough? How long will she be able to endure the jealousy of the new queen and decide it all should have remained hers in the first place? Will she want revenge when she believed she was at fault or would she want revenge because he never really tried either? In the end it will be about the people who showed her love and who she began to love unconditionally. --------- Okay now give this one a chance before you go judging or you stop reading because it is not like the other romances on the app. I entered this one in the recommended trops contest so blame the webnovel editord for the storyline and plot (kinda but not really) just give it a chance and see how much you love it.

Gabriel voiced in a possessive yet intimidating tone.  Amelie didn’t know that the man, who saved her was none other than the infamous Dark Tyrant—the Alpha Prince, Gabriel Sinclair, whose intentions were still unknown to her. ~~~~ **The Story is a pure fiction.

Pumpkin Gabriel is sixteen, nearly seventeen, and stuck in a life that feels like it was built to break him. Towering and awkward, he’s covered head to toe in angry acne that won’t let him forget how invisible — or worse, disgusting — he thinks he is. Living in a cramped Romanian apartment with his K-pop-obsessed little sister and barely supervised by a grandma who pops in from time to time, Gabriel’s only comfort is laughter — even if it’s cruel. So when his sister blasts her favorite boy group and gushes over their perfect faces and dreamy voices, Gabriel does what he does best: mocks it all. Calls it “Chinese noise,” laughs at the synchronized dancing, rolls his eyes until his sister slams the door in his face and says the one thing that sticks harder than he thought it would: “I wish I never had a brother.” He shrugs it off… until he doesn’t. A walk to the store turns into something else. Something that changes everything — and Gabriel wakes up not in Romania, not in his own skin, but in the body of someone who looks like everything he’s ever hated himself for not being. Perfect...
