What if you had to relive your life 28 times, only to meet the same tragic end in every one of them?
In Chain of Times: The Villainess Deaths, Giselle has always been a simple girl who loves life, longing for experiences she was denied during her years of illness. But death was a soulmate she never wished to embrace. Just as she began to find joy, she fell into the clutches of darkness, dying in the arms of the man she loved, his final words haunting her as they slipped away together under the moonlight.
Before the world faded, she heard someone cry for her. In her blurry vision, she glimpsed a young man who shared her tragic fate. Who was he? Why did he cry for her? What had he tried to say?
Awakening in the same estate where she grew up, Giselle realizes she's been granted a second chance, returning to life before her death. Determined to escape her grim destiny, she embarks on a quest to uncover the identity of the mysterious man and the truth behind her death. However, each step leads her deeper into a web of betrayal, unexpected pain, and the shadows of a past she cannot escape.
Trapped in an endless cycle of heartbreak, betrayal, and doomed destinies, Giselle's choices yield no change-the same loyal allies and bitter enemies remain steadfast, their hearts locked against her every attempt at redemption. But with each new life, she uncovers fragments of a buried truth connected to an ancient empire, magical gems with forbidden power, and the shadow of a goddess long forgotten. As her memories merge across timelines, she begins to unravel the curse binding her fate.
Will she find the key to end the cycle, or will the chain of time tighten around her one last time? In the struggle between love and loss, Giselle must navigate a world where even death may be preferable to the web of lies closing in on her.
This is a gripping tale that weaves magic, mystery, and the struggle of a soul fighting to reclaim her life.
