What From Ashes to Love is about
Chloe Rock, the eldest daughter of the Rock family, had a crush on the president Adrian Icecrest in her previous life but was rejected. After a car accident with Rosie Lucas, a bastard daughter of the Lucas family, Chloe's soul crossed over to Rosie's body and accidentally became Adrian's substitute bride, marrying him. After Chloe's death, Adrian realized that he had already fallen in love with her. A year later, he proposed a divorce, but Rosie, heartbroken, drugged Adrian and had sex with him, resulting in the birth of three adorable children: Hades, Arthur, and Tiana. To evade Adrian's pursuit, Rosie sent Hades to him and faked her own death, fleeing abroad with the other two children. Five years later, Rosie's mother fell critically ill, prompting her to return to the country with her two children. In order to get close to Hades, she secretly worked as his nanny. The two boys discovered that the protagonists were their parents and began swapping identities to bring them together. Adrian, who had been searching for Rosie for years, gradually noticed something unusual about the nanny caring for Hades and eventually recognized her as Rosie. During the boys' identity swaps, he also realized that Arthur was his son, initiating a custody battle with Rosie. Hades grew increasingly attached to Rosie, and Arthur refused to leave her. Consequently, Rosie, as the mother of the two children, took temporary residence in Adrian's home with Tiana. Through their daily interactions, Adrian learned that Tiana was also his daughter. Meanwhile, the Lucas family harassed Rosie, using her mother's health as leverage, but all their schemes were thwarted. Since she was Chloe, she was a genius in cybersecurity, proficient in painting, disguise, and various other skills. Witnessing the decline of the Rock family after her death, she secretly assisted in its resurgence. In the increasing interactions between Rosie and the Rock family, Adrian gradually discovered many similarities between Rosie and Chloe, and began to suspect that Rosie was actually Chloe. After various attempts and investigations, he finally learned that Rosie was the deceased Chloe.

About HoneyReels
A small, unusually concentrated shelf — contract marriage and little else, which is exactly what some readers want. It averages 4.61 stars across 9,425 App Store ratings, and 14% of the recent reviews we sampled were one-star. Worth an install if contract marriage is the specific thing you are after and you have exhausted the bigger apps. Not the one to start with — the library is thin for the price, and the playback complaints are frequent enough to test before you commit to a pass. It carries 5,199 series, 857 of them in English.
