Genius

Three years ago, a once-mighty warlord married the heiress of a powerful family to honor his late grandfather’s will. What was meant to be a shield of protection soon turned into a personal hell. Weakened and stripped of his former glory, he became the target of scorn and cruelty from his wife’s family. When betrayal struck from those closest to her, tearing apart everything she had built, walking away seemed like the only option. But her husband refused to give up—on their marriage, on her, or on himself. With the brilliant mind and tactical genius that once made him a legend, he vowed to take back everything that had been stolen. Amid family intrigue, hidden conspiracies, and enemies lurking in the shadows, they uncover a truth: true strength isn’t found in the body, but in an unyielding heart. And as betrayal pulls them closer, could the love they’ve long ignored finally take root?

David Sawyer, a normal office worker woke up suddenly to an unfamiliar world. The Apocalypse was here, and with it, a shocking realization of truth hidden just under his nose all this time. Fighting with the weight of betrayal, Dave casts aside his feelings to protect the lives of those he loves. Will his newfound apathy lead the way to survival and regrowth? Can a mask hide away the pain of love lost? DISCLAIMER: This is NOT an apocalypse story. The story explores adaptation and survival under rapidly changing world conditions. MC is not some chosen one or freek genius, he's lucky and intelligent, not a fool. Romance is a little heavy but not the main theme. Survival, human duality, conflict, and the very nature of the world itself are the book's focus. Every character has depth, and nothing is truly meaningless. Pay attention and see if you can pick up that deeply hidden foreshadowing.
