Olivia Bennett took the fall for her husband Ethan Parker’s “murder charge.” After being sent to Cancún, her passport was stolen, and she lost contact with her husband and their one-month-old son for five years. After enduring immense hardship, she returned to San Francisco, only to find that her son Leo was already calling Ethan’s former fiancée Claire “Mom.” Ethan was not only living with Claire, but also forcing the physically weak Olivia to give blood transfusions to save her. It was only when she heard Ethan admit it with his own mouth before losing consciousness that she realized the so-called murder case, her exile, and the stolen passport were all a scam. Olivia’s heart died completely. She secretly began processing Mexican immigration paperwork, but was then betrayed by her best friend, besieged by public opinion, hurt by Leo, and hunted by Claire. After the consulate rescued the gravely injured Olivia, she formally ended the marriage and returned to the Palm Bay Hotel she had founded in Cancún. Ethan eventually uncovered the suffering she had endured over those five years, and when he saw Claire harm Leo with his own eyes, he finally began to feel remorse. He chased her to Cancún and begged to reconcile, but Olivia would not look back. The elder Mr. Parker forcibly took Ethan away and arranged a marriage alliance for him. Ethan ran away on the wedding day, plunging the Parker Group into public relations, partnership, and compensation crises, and the elder Mr. Parker died of a sudden cerebral infarction as a result. After losing his father, his career, and his healthy son, Ethan completely collapsed, and in the end he and Leo fell into the river below a cliff. When Olivia heard the news, she simply turned off the television and went on to embrace the life that truly belonged to her.

The end of the world was upon us, but there weren't enough spots for evacuation. The roars of the zombies echoed in my ears as my fiancé, Oliver, gritted his teeth and pulled me onto the rescue vehicle—securing the last available seat. I arrived safely at the survivor base. Lina, his first love, did not. The zombies tore her apart. Oliver still went through with our marriage, but I never expected that he had only done so to make me suffer. In his eyes, I was the one who had killed Lina. If she had to endure such agony, then I should, too. For five years, he hated me. My life was worse than that of a stray dog scavenging for food on the street. On the day my divorce was finalized, he kidnapped me, dragged me into the wilderness, and wrapped his fingers around my throat. Then, he threw us both into the swarm of the undead. When I opened my eyes again, I was somehow reborn on the day the apocalypse began. The rescue team was shouting impatiently, "One more! We have room for one more—hurry!" I turned to Oliver, watching his hesitation. Then, with a quiet smile, I took a step back and let someone else have the last seat.

After being released from my three-year sentence, Zoe Sanders finally found me in an underground fight club. The moment she saw me, she grabbed me by the collar and punched me across the face, her eyes burning red with fury. "Henry Goldman, who gave you the nerve to disappear like this? "And what the hell have you done to yourself?" I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth and laughed carelessly. "One punch, one hundred thousand. "If you’re still angry, feel free to keep going. I could use the money for this year’s rent." Her fists trembled uncontrollably, but her voice softened. "Come home with me... apologize to Ronald Green. "He’s always been kind-hearted. He already forgave you for framing him." Her gaze swept over the scars covering my body, something unreadable flickering in her eyes. "Look at yourself. Covered in blood like this... what’s the difference between you and a stray dog digging through garbage?" My body stiffened. Then I turned and walked away. What she did not know was this: In prison, blood and violence were the only ways I learned to survive. "Don’t forget," she shouted after me, "I’m still your fiancée!" My footsteps stopped. How could I forget? Three years ago, on the night of our engagement, Ronald drugged me and sent me to a black-market auction. I was stripped of all dignity and sold like merchandise. That night, I became the laughingstock of the entire city. And the person who signed the papers that sold me… was my fiancée herself.
