“She was supposed to die—but her mad lover had other plans.”

 Reincarnated by her mad lover, who preserved her soul for years only to  transmigrate her into another body.


At seven, she was sold to a brutal training center where children were broken into machines—and survival was the only rule.
After years of grueling training, she completed all her levels at just age  14  and was returned home, with a new upgraded system.


 She thought she could finally live a normal life, but life had other plans. 

Her father died, leaving behind a mountain of debt, and her sister was taken by their ruthless debtors. Desperate for money, Sophie agrees to marry an elderly, disabled man—only to wake up as the wife of Shane, the cold, untouchable CEO of Collen Industries, the nation’s wealthiest and most eligible bachelor.

At the Auction of Adams Industries:

“Wait, Sophie. I know you’re not okay,” Olivia said, her voice dripping with fake concern. “Your father’s company was just sold. Do you even have money to eat?”

Without waiting for an answer, she reached into her designer bag and pulled out a thick bundle of cash, pressing it into Sophie’s hands.

“Here, take this. For old times’ sake,” she added mockingly, like she was tipping a beggar in front of everyone at the auction, making her the laughing stock of the entire town.

⸻

A few months after the marriage:

“Do you know what I did to the last person who thought they could touch my wife and get away with it?” Shane said, laughing darkly as he stared down at the pale-faced Dexter siblings.

They had all taken part in humiliating Sophie, and he will make them pay.

“I had her hands cut off and left her to die,” Shane said coldly.
