Pampered Chef Gingerbread House

Penny has three brothers: one is a billionaire CEO, the second is the youngest military lieutenant, and the last is a successful actor. These three successful men had only one common ground: bullying Penny, their sore-eye of a little sister. The sister they never wished to have, and the one who claimed to be their real sister, while the sister they treasured all this time was a fake. After living a life of maltreatment in her aunt's home, some people of high standing came to Penny with news of her real parentage. She thought she was finally saved from her aunt’s clutches, unaware that what awaited her was worse. At 13, Penny only wished for one thing: for her brothers to love her and treat her like family, just as much as they loved their fake sister. She worked and studied ten times harder than anybody else just to be accepted by them. In her desperation, she foolishly fell into a trap set by a malicious person, not knowing her actions would result in the downfall of her brothers and her ending up in jail with a death sentence. On her execution day, Penny had only one thought in mind: If she ever got to go back in time, her brothers could pamper their fake sister for all she cared! She wanted nothing to do with them! And much to her surprise, Penny found herself back on the day it all began: the day she was born. As promised, this time, she wouldn’t foolishly try to earn her brothers' love and affection. Never mind family! She’d just make a lot of money, live in luxury, and make a family of her own! But wait, why is it now that she didn’t want anything to do with her brothers, they kept poking their noses into her business? Weren’t they supposed to pamper their fake sister? Why won’t they leave her alone?! And how on earth was she married in this lifetime? To make matters worse, this husband she never had in her first life was suddenly volunteering to be the father of her children?!

She supported the entire company through the arranged marriage. Five years later, she only received the brutal truth: "The only reason I married you is that it was the condition my grandpa set for granting me the inheritance of the company." She was overwhelmed by sadness and anger. Then, suddenly, he appeared, extended a helping hand to her, and said coldly, "Listen, you hurt those who hurt you. That's what fairness is." Since then, she found herself trapped in this complex relationship with this tycoon... She tried to resist, saying, "We're not suited for each other." He replied, "You've already tried whether we're suited or not. Now you want to leave? That's being irresponsible." "I'm divorced." "How can we get married if you're not divorced? Bigamy is a crime." Abandoned, she surrendered herself to him, a man of immense power, who gave her the whole world. He dotes on her so much that no one dares to bully her... [Highlight One] "You know what? In love, those who are not loved are considered mistresses." A woman taunted her. "So what? I'm the legal wife. Until I'm divorced, you'll always be the mistress." She replied indifferently. Although she disdained the title, she wouldn't allow herself to be insulted. "So be polite to me. Maybe when I'm in a good mood, I'll give you this position as a bone to a pitiful dog." That woman instantly felt extremely ashamed. [Highlight Two] "Boss, today is the opening of Madam's gallery, but her rival's also opening their business on the same day. What should we do?" His assistant asked. "Tell all the media that I'm going to propose to her today, and anyone who attends will receive a red envelope." He sneered. As soon as the news was released, all the media came to her gallery, and all the billboards in the city were live streaming this grand and romantic proposal. As the sky rained with roses, he appeared, holding a red rose and kneeling in front of her, saying, "Marry me." This man, who had never been known for his romantic gestures, suddenly gave her a surprise! It moved her to tears...

"Husband, there are people online saying that I'm not good enough for you!" "Oh?" The man glanced at her calmly. "In what way are you not good enough for me?" "They said I'm flat-chested!" The woman's face was flushed with anger! Without rushing, the man set down his teacup, pulled the little lady into his arms, and smirked. "Is that so? Let me see..."

But on the night of their second wedding anniversary, she watched her husband come home with another woman in his arms. It was Stella, his first love whom he was never really over. “She is already upset, you don’t have to make her feel worse. Is it wrong to show care and concern for my friend?” He argued as he clenched his jaws and kept his gaze steady on my face. “She isn’t just your friend, she was your ex, your first love. And isn’t it so convenient that everytime she needs you or something happens whenever I just want to spend some time with you?” He had always chosen Stella over her, putting her needs and feelings above hers. And that night, she finally had enough. “All you ever care about is Stella!” I continued to yell so loudly that I could practically hear my voice ringing in my ears. “You always do this! You always choose her over me, you always put her feelings above mine.” I watched as a smirk tugged at Stella’s lips as she watched me argue with my husband over her. Blake walked to her side, wrapping his arm around her as she curled her fingers around his arm with a pitiful look. “Stop yelling, you are scaring Stella. Why can’t you be more understanding and stop being so self-centered? Not everything is about you!” The last thing she remembered was her running out into the pouring rain and the next thing she knew, she was asking a stranger to marry her.

Aveline Crystaine, was once the shining star of House Crystaine, a prestigious family known for its unmatched magical lineage. The Crystaines were revered as one of the Great Houses of the kingdom, capable of wielding ancient and powerful magic passed down through generations. Aveline was the heir to that legacy, a woman of extraordinary talent and potential. But everything changed when Aveline’s family was wiped out overnight in a mysterious tragedy. The once-powerful House Crystaine fell into disgrace, and Aveline—young and alone—was left to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. With no surviving relatives and no allies, Aveline was cast aside as the villainess, blamed for the fall of her house and accused of conspiring with dark forces. The truth, however, is far more complicated. Aveline's family wasn't destroyed by a simple political coup or betrayal—it was erased by magic. An ancient curse, woven into the very fabric of House Crystaine's existence, caused the house to vanish from history. The curse was so potent that it not only destroyed her family but also erased all records of their existence from public memory. Aveline herself is the only one who remembers House Crystaine for what it truly was. The only way for her to reclaim her family’s legacy and restore her house to its former glory is to uncover the truth behind the curse and break it. But there’s a catch: the curse is linked to Aveline's own magical abilities, and using her power to reveal the truth could cost her everything she holds dear.
