Magical Love: Short story (ENGLISH)
Synopsis: Zerhica grew up in a wealthy household where comfort was never a concern, but love and recognition always were. Despite having everything she could possibly need, all she ever longed for was her parents' approval. Constantly overshadowed by her two older sisters-both admired for their beauty and talent-Zerhica was always seen as the least impressive, the last choice in a family obsessed with perfection. Desperate to be seen and valued, she spent her life trying to please everyone around her, giving endlessly until she had nothing left to give. By the time she realized her worth had been stripped away piece by piece, it was already too late. Then one day, Zerhica wakes up and finds herself back in the past-staring at her 17-year-old reflection in the mirror, in the very room she once called home. Armed with memories of the future she once lived and the tragedy that followed, Zerhica is given a second chance. But changing fate is never simple. Will she be able to rewrite her cruel destiny, or is history destined to repeat itself no matter what she does? And as she begins to alter the course of her life, a mysterious man named Miharo appears-someone she has never met before, someone who was never part of her past life. His presence becomes a turning point she never anticipated, intertwining his fate with hers in ways she cannot yet understand. Will this second chance lead Zerhica toward salvation... or a different kind of ruin? *** Language: English Inspired by the novel: Rebirth of Fa Wei Lan by HARUI30 Book cover art from: the manga 'yi chui wu yue tiao man ji'Complete
