Efforts Never Betray Manhwa

In the greed-filled world of corporate empires and magic knights, Min Jae was a king in business, with pockets so deep he could drown in them. That is, until his life deemed his playthrough unfair and gave him a red card. Poison was his family's best friend, as everyone had at least tasted it once, not twice because they never could. Death was never on his calendar, neither was an offer for a divine gig. Enter the Deity of Stories, a celestial being with a fetish for plot twists, who offers Min Jae a deal he can't refuse: become her divine cameraman. No, not the kind with a lens, but one who records the tales of mortals. In return, he gets a second shot at life, in a world where his dearly departed parents are alive and well, ready to dote on him from birth. Reborn as Judge (because “Min Jae 2.0” sounded too dull), he quickly realizes this new life is no gift. This steampunk utopia, filled with airships, clockwork gadgets, and an alarming lack of Wi-Fi, thrives on manipulation. But who needs the internet when you have a divine camera and the sharp mind to control it all? Judge isn’t just here to record stories; he’s here to write them, casting himself as the mastermind behind every twist and turn. Armed with his divine powers, he navigates complex schemes, power-hungry nobles, and ruthless industrialists, all while keeping his ultimate goal hidden: to ascend to godhood and rewrite his own fate. Of course, he generally makes a glorious mess of things, all while trying to keep his dear parents blissfully unaware of his less-than-angelic schemes. But as the stakes rise and the Deity of Stories watches his every move, Judge must tread carefully. Can he manipulate his way to the top, or will he become just another character in someone else’s plot twist? --- Just a quick disclaimer: The book steers clear of any unwanted adult stuff. However, it does feature a potentially disturbing amount of violence—enough to make you wonder about the author's mental health. So proceed with caution—and maybe a shield!

[MATURE CONTENT] Abigail Snow accidentally caught her fiancé being intimate with her sister. She learned that her fiancé had only used her to advance his business and had never truly loved her. Heartbroken, Abigail called off the engagement and left everything behind to start a new life with nothing. At her lowest point, she met Sawyer, a hidden tycoon who helped her rebuild her life and seek justice against those who made her suffer. As Abigail begins to fall in love with Sawyer, his childhood sweetheart reappears, causing doubt and confusion for her. *** Excerpt: Whoever this man was, he was her savior. If he hadn’t held her hand and pulled her, she might have become dead meat and gone straight to the afterlife. "Thank you so much, good sir," Abigail said softly as she finally looked up to see him. Abigail was stunned. "But I'm not planning to commit suicide. I tripped over my own feet,” she continued, avoiding eye contact. She stared at his chest—her line of sight only reaching his sturdy chest. “It sounds better to hear that, Miss. Because I don’t want to go to the police station to become a witness, or they might wrongly accuse me as a suspect,” he said with a sarcastic tone that caused Abigail to stifle a laugh. "Sir, I’m so grateful you helped me. You are my savior. I owe you my life—" Abigail paused, taken aback by her own words. How could she make such a deep vow to this man!? This man might take advantage of her if he was a bad person. Right? "Alright, young lady, you’re supposed to release your tight embrace on me. You’re safe now." Abigail was utterly shocked to hear his words. She only realized she was still in his arms, her hands tightly wrapped around his waist, and her entire body pressed against him. They were so close—close enough to hear his loud heartbeat. She quickly took a few steps back. _____ Author Novel: 1. DAMN! I FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM (Completed) 2.

“You will have to do everything that says in this house as long as you are still living under my roof,” Mr. Gabriel Everette yelled angrily at the sixteen-year-old Ava, who was looking at Mr. Everette, who was so angry with her because Ava had complained that her younger sister Abigail bullied her with her friends in school. “I have told you several times that no matter what your sister does to you, you should consider that she is still your sister and you shouldn't complain about her to me. Do you understand?” Mr. Gabriel yelled, causing Ava to nod her head with fear. “I’m sorry, Dad,” Ava said, but Mr. Gabriel walked away, leaving the living room to join his wife and their younger daughter Abigail. This is how Ava has been treated since Mr. Gabriel and his wife, Mrs. Georginal, gave birth to Abigail. They would neglect her and attend to her younger sister, but she wasn't able to understand what was going on; she cried when she was still little but started to understand as she grew up and could only cry and endure how she was being treated.

With tears, she placed the file back neatly where it had been before picking up the files she was told to bring to her adoptive father. When she discovered this, she felt like her world crumbled, and every fact she knew about herself shattered. The sound of shattering glass echoed in her mind. “I’m really an adopted daughter? Is this why I was being maltreated and felt different from my younger sister?” Ava thought as hot tears streamed down her cheeks. But what happened when Mr. Gabriel Everette was planning to sell Ava off when his company was facing bankruptcy? Ava heard this and ran away from home, but she came back strong and turned into a beautiful, decent wife of a billionaire. Her comeback holds revenge to teach them lessons and make them regret ever treating her so badly.
