She remembers him in whispers. He remembers her in silence. And the past remembers them both in blood. In a world where memories slip between lifetimes and the dead never truly rest, detective Yu Bin finds herself haunted by dreams that feel like someone else's pain—and yet far too familiar. Her nights are filled with fragments: fire, betrayal, a blade she once held, and a voice she can’t forget whispering, “I’m sorry.” When a chilling case involving two murdered children resurfaces buried wounds, Yu Bin is forced to confront not only the mystery behind the crime, but also the echo of something far older—a life lost, a love burned, and a betrayal that fractured more than just her heart. Beside her stands Xian Chen, a man who says little, but whose eyes hold centuries of guilt. Their bond is magnetic, volatile, and laced with questions neither dares to answer. Who killed her parents and master in that other life? Why does pain return when the truth stays buried? As the threads of their reincarnated fates unravel, so too do the lies that once rewrote destiny. Because love never forgets. And revenge never sleeps. And sometimes, the only way to heal—is to remember what broke you.

From Erwin Wickison I never asked to be here. One moment I was living my life, and the next I was dragged—along with millions of others—into a place ruled by a system that treats us like pieces on a board. Every Game is built to break something, whether it’s a body, a mind, or the small parts of myself I keep pretending are “good.” I’ve watched people die. I’ve watched people change. And I know I’m changing too. I just hope there’s something human left in me by the end… if there’s even an end. WARNING. This book contains smut, psychological decay, moral collapse, human intimacy twisted into survival, and a variety of horrors that do not wait for your permission before sinking into your mind. It will not hold your hand. It will not apologize. And it will not stop once you open it. If you continue, you’re choosing to step into a sequence of events designed to peel apart the comfortable assumptions you rely on to feel “safe.” Some of you will be fascinated. Some of you will be disturbed. Most of you will not remain the same. I’m not here to reassure you. I’m only here to tell you one thing: Whatever you think this is, whatever you think you know… you don’t. And once you begin, you can’t go back. — Welcome to the Games
