And now she stood trembling amidst the world's actual end, and found she could think of nothing but what lie in her past. It was almost like she was comparing the heartache of the living world, to the pain of the dead. 

Which was more peaceful, anyway? The dead certainly slept better than the living, but the living felt more alive.

"I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home.

But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world.

She married the man they chose for her, built a life around him and their children, and worked tirelessly to uphold the values of loyalty and obedience. However, her sacrifices go unappreciated. Her husband has a mistress, and in a brutal turn of events, it is her own son who, manipulated by this mistress, murders her. In her final moments, as she takes her last breath, Lin Ziqi's only regret is the life she could have had if she had chosen the boy from her past-the one who had waited for her, hour after hour, after high school, with a single withered rose in his hand. She wonders what her life might have been like if she had chosen to be loved, rather than loyal. When she dies, the world changes. Lin Ziqi wakes up.

The realization hits her like a wave-the chance to rewrite her story, to make different choices. As she walks out of the school building, her gaze lands on him-the quiet boy who waited for her, holding that same withered rose in his hand. Lin Ziqi smiles softly to herself and approaches him. This time, she accepts the rose without hesitation, placing a kiss on his right cheek. The boy, taken by surprise, blushes but smiles in return.

Everyone in Yonggan Village knew that Shen Jiaojiao, a newcomer, was a vixen-dressed gaudily and constantly chasing after men. Later, Shen Jiaojiao suffered a terrible fate: the scumbag who wronged her chopped off her legs and threw her into the basement, torturing her until her life became worse than death. When she was critically ill, Xu Mo-the man imprisoned by her own family-bought her for a million dollars. Shen Jiaojiao thought Xu Mo had come to humiliate and punish her, but instead, he set aside past grudges, married her, and cared for her in every possible way. Even after her death, Xu Mo remained heartbroken and never remarried. It was only then that Shen Jiaojiao realized the man she had always humiliated loved her so deeply. After her rebirth, Shen Jiaojiao hugged Xu Mo's thin waist and cried bitterly with regret: "Husband, I was wrong. I will never leave you again. I want to give birth to a baby for you." Xu Mo gritted his teeth and replied, "Shen Jiaojiao, I'm not your husband." Shen Jiaojiao realized with embarrassment that they hadn't married yet-and that she had just drugged him to frame him. Determined, she swore to tease him mercilessly and win his heart. "Xu Mo, I like you very much." "Xu Mo, let's go to the grove! There's no one there." The man blushed and warned shyly, "Shen Jiaojiao, watch your words and actions." She lowered her head and whispered softly, "Oh... then do you want to go to the grove or not?" With no choice, Xu Mo shyly replied, "Go." Genres: Romance, Rebirth, Drama, Dark themes. Expect betrayal, revenge, and slow-burn love. Hey readers!
