When the truth finally surfaces, it's not justice that follows-but grief, guilt, and a desperate need to protect what's left.

With Qiu Ding Jie gone, the world finally listens-but too late to save him. As the aftermath unfolds, Ah Xing begins to deteriorate under the weight of regret, sleepless nights, and a body that no longer knows how to endure. While the media turns pain into spectacle, fans turn this horrific event into an online battlefield, Jiang Heng and Li Peien step forward, determined to protect Ah Xing when guilt threatens to pull him under as well.

This is not a story about redemption.
It is a story about survival-
and the cost of learning the truth too late.

Author's Note

This story is the continuation of "It's Too Late Now" story. Please read that story first before reading this one.

This continuation focuses on grief after the truth-
on what happens after the answers arrive, when they no longer fix anything.

Please be aware that this story contains themes of depression, panic attacks, guilt, and loss. While it is heavy, it is written with care and respect, focusing on emotional reality rather than shock value.

Ah Xing's struggle is not meant to excuse past mistakes, but to explore how regret and trauma can break someone slowly and quietly. Jiang Heng and Li Peien's role is one of protection-not heroism, but presence. Sometimes, staying is the bravest thing left to do.

Thank you for reading, and please take care of yourself as well 🤍
If any part of this story becomes too heavy, it's okay to step away.

The perfect wife by white-scar
59 parts Complete
He didn't break her all at once. He taught her how to shatter herself. To everyone watching, she has the life girls dream of : money, beauty, a powerful husband, and a marriage wrapped in perfection. But behind their locked doors, perfection is the punishment she can never escape. He tells her who to be. He tells her how to walk, how to breathe, how to think. Every mistake is a lesson. Every bruise is a reminder. Every betrayal is somehow her fault. And she believes him. Because after years of being molded, corrected, and rewritten, she no longer remembers who she was before he decided to "fix" her. She only knows the rules he carved into her bones. Don't speak too loudly. Don't ask questions. Don't look at him when he's angry. Don't look away when he wants your attention. And above all Don't ever forget that love is earned, not given. Her sister whispers that she's losing herself. Her friends say they're worried. Her subconscious screams that something is wrong. But she silences all of them. Because she is so close so close to becoming the perfect wife, he swears she could be if she tries a little harder. And if she can be perfect... Maybe he'll finally love her. Or maybe perfection is the very thing that will destroy her. *This story depicts domestic and emotional abuse. These scenes are fictional and not meant to glorify or romanticize abuse.

The story revolves around the Rathore family - a powerful and deeply orthodox household where patriarchy rules every corner of the mansion. The men in this family have grown up believing that dominance equals respect, and control is love. They don't know how to value a woman's voice, emotions, or choices. For them, women are meant to obey, not speak. Tradition is their excuse, and ego is their religion. The male leads are cold, aggressive, and emotionally unavailable. They carry the burden of their family legacy like a badge of honor, believing it's their right to command and their privilege to be obeyed. In this toxic environment, women are expected to be submissive, soft-spoken, and endlessly sacrificing. But what happens when the fire within these silent women finally dares to rise?
