Can you recommend a novel where the male protagonist plays dumb in a modern setting?

Keeley, a simple plain Jane, hits the jackpot. [No, she did not win the lottery!] At least that's what she thinks when she marries the most eligible bachelor in New York City: Aaron, a wealthy cold-hearted heartthrob and Tycoon. She wants to show the world that she deserves her position and bends over backward to fit into his world. One beautiful day, Aaron hands her a document asking her to sign. A divorce paper... "She's pregnant, and I need to take responsibility." That is the last thing that keeps on playing in her mind before she takes her last breath. Keeley dies, a 'hit and run'. [End of story. Not!] For some unexplainable reason, she wakes up as her younger self. A young high school girl, around the time when she first meets her cheating husband. Remembering her life with Aaron before she died, she makes a promise to herself that she will do everything in her power to avoid him at all costs. Will she be able to keep her promise when Aaron has his own plans as well, specifically for her? Or will she repeat history and fall for him once more... Why not journey with me and find out the truth behind their story. *Cover art by polkadottedscrunchie*

Chase Norris was just your normal troublemaker in life given that he acted nothing more than a delinquent throughout his high school life up to the very end it was coming. No one ever believed he would do anything good with his life after finishing high school given Chase was going to have a long criminal record in his adult life. There were a few who believed him to do much more in life than others think given that Chase has a chance to be something else to the world than that. Yet it does not matter about the future for this person when our friend gets struck by lightning and mysteriously gets brought into another world unharmed. A world completely different from his own on earth starting with how it is like a fantasy book or game filled with monsters that are dangerous and can kill a person if attacked by creatures. Yet that is not the only thing that was shocking to Chase where it turns out the women of this world are like the top rulers and the man are treated as lowly slaves. Had no clue how coming to this world came to work. Chase has to think first is to stay alive in it given being a male is like having a target on his back meaning journaling in this world is going to be very tough for him.
