A land of pure white, veiled in drifting mist.
There was no distinction between day and night here.
As far as the eye could see, there was only endless white—nothing else existed.
The Reflection Stone, which usually mirrored the three thousand small worlds, was behaving abnormally at this moment.
Its entire surface glowed crimson, standing out harshly and jarringly against the pure white surroundings.
The compassionate and merciful Goddess noticed this anomaly.
She furrowed her brow slightly and stepped forward to investigate.
When she saw that, within those small worlds, the male leads were driven mad by love they could never obtain—
Her divine eyes were filled with heartache and pity for them.
And so, the Goddess made a decision.
She would send her most beloved, most cherished daughter to help those male leads trapped in their suffering.
To allow them to receive a love that was unique and irreplaceable.
To soothe the fear and unease buried deep within their hearts.
She was the Goddess’s most treasured and beloved daughter.
With a sacred beauty as pure as the bright moon, eyes gentle like flowing water, and a temperament as soft as a spring breeze and rain—
She was the perfect cure for the broken sons of those small worlds.
Thus, the Goddess sent her to the three thousand small worlds.
Wu gazed at the Reflection Stone, watching the male leads within it collapse in pain and despair.
In her clear, warm eyes—like the light of early morning—there was nothing but compassion.
She agreed to the Goddess’s request.
She would become the lover they longed for most.
She would pamper him, love him.
And she would teach him how to love, so that the sons of those worlds would no longer live in constant fear of loss.
Later, the Goddess bestowed upon Wu a surname.
Wen.
The Wen of warmth.
The Goddess hoped that Wu’s arrival would bring long-lost light and warmth to those pitiful male leads.
Wen Wu.
From that moment on, a priceless treasure—one who existed solely for those mad, possessive male leads—descended upon the worlds.
“Hurts… it hurts so much!”
“Ah—!”
A voice filled with pain and terror echoed through the cramped rental apartment.
Su Ruan, who had been thrashing wildly on the bed in a nightmare, suddenly jolted awake and sat up.
Large beads of sweat rolled down her pale cheeks.
Her round, almond-shaped eyes were still filled with lingering fear.
When she thought of that car accident engulfed in flames—
Su Ruan suddenly reached up to touch her face, then hurriedly looked down to examine her limbs.
When she saw her fair, unblemished skin, her movements froze.
…Something was wrong.
Hadn’t she already died in a car accident?
That accident had been severe.
Fuel had leaked.The car had caught fire.
So why was she completely unharmed?
And that madman—had he really let her go?
Yet the searing pain of the flames, the stench of burning flesh, still felt vivid in her memory.
It was completely different from her current condition.
At that thought, an idea that defied natural laws suddenly surfaced in Su Ruan’s mind.
A trope she had once seen in novels and short dramas.
Rebirth.
Could it be… that she had been reborn?
Otherwise, none of this could be explained.
Just thinking of that man’s pathological imprisonment and those obsession-filled, crazed eyes made Su Ruan feel sick to her stomach.
To confirm whether she had truly been reborn, she hurriedly grabbed the phone beside her bed.
The date displayed on the screen was:
June 1st, 2045.
Not August 5th, 2050.
She really had been reborn.
Reborn five years earlier.
The realization made a huge surge of joy explode in Su Ruan’s eyes.
She quickly got up and walked to the mirror beside the bed.
Reflected back at her was a girl who was clearly a little malnourished, yet lively and full of vitality.
Su Ruan pinched her arm hard.
“—Hiss!”
The sharp pain made her realize this wasn’t a dream.
She had truly escaped that devil of a man.
Once that sank in, she covered her face and burst into tears.
In this lifetime, she would never repeat the same mistake.
She would never appear before Qin Yu again.
She would stay as far away from that madman as possible.
Before arriving in this world, Wen Wu had already learned the story of its male lead.
Due to drastic changes in his family during childhood, Qin Yu’s personality had warped.
Violent.Irritable.Deeply insecure.
That was Wen Wu’s assessment of him.
Though Qin Yu had crawled out of piles of corpses and ascended to the pinnacle of power—
He still found life utterly meaningless.
Until he met the original female lead, Su Ruan.
A bright, sunny girl.
At a banquet, Qin Yu fell in love at first sight with Su Ruan, who was working there part-time as a server.
But he didn’t know how to express his feelings.
So he ordered his subordinates to abduct her and bring her to his villa.
When Su Ruan woke up and saw the unfamiliar surroundings, she was helpless and terrified.
Upon seeing the culprit, she cursed him furiously.
No matter what Qin Yu said, she refused to listen.
Even so, he never once considered letting her go.
After investigating her background, Qin Yu learned that her family was poor.
He secretly provided financial support to her family.
Then, day after day, he tried everything he could to make her happy.
But Su Ruan would never change her mind because of that.
In her eyes, he was nothing more than a kidnapper.
Even if he improved her family’s living conditions—
Let her parents move into a luxurious villa.Sent her younger brother to an elite school.
Even if Qin Yu helped her deal with classmates who had bullied or harassed her—
Su Ruan still despised him.
After abducting her, Qin Yu never touched her.
He had servants serve her the best food and drinks, and prepared the latest season of top luxury clothing for her.
From initial indifference to swelling vanity—
Su Ruan began frequently posting on social media to show off.
Enjoying a life of luxury, while simultaneously rejecting and resenting Qin Yu.
Because of her online flaunting, her ex-boyfriend soon came looking for her.
She still had feelings for him when they broke up.
Now, after a few sweet words—
Her heart wavered again.
The two began secretly meeting each other.
Meanwhile, Su Ruan had started to soften her attitude toward Qin Yu.
Not because she loved him—
But because his attentiveness satisfied her vanity.
Rich. Handsome. Devoted only to her.
Her change in attitude made Qin Yu believe she had accepted him.
Until the day he saw her secretly meeting her ex-boyfriend.
The madness and darkness he had long suppressed finally erupted.
He imprisoned her completely, cutting her off from the outside world.
His thinking was extreme, yet simple.
If he tied her down—
She wouldn’t be able to run anymore.
But the result was that Su Ruan hated him even more.
She insulted him viciously every day.
To the point where Qin Yu had to take large doses of psychiatric medication just to keep himself from turning into a monster.
Yet Su Ruan continued to provoke him relentlessly.
From that moment on, Qin Yu’s mental state deteriorated further.
He developed frequent self-harming tendencies.
When Su Ruan discovered this, not only did she feel no pity—
She even cursed him, wishing he would die sooner.
Even so, Qin Yu still refused to let her go.
He endured it all in self-destructive silence.
Until Su Ruan escaped with her ex-boyfriend.
Qin Yu chased after them like a madman.
Because of fear and panic, the car Su Ruan was riding in sped out of control.
A sudden brake—
The vehicle slammed into a bridge.
Not long after, it exploded right before Qin Yu’s eyes.
The shock completely broke him.
All he had ever wanted—
Was someone who would love him wholeheartedly.
But there was no one.
Never anyone.
The woman he loved feared him, hated him, and wished for death.
And so, Qin Yu left this world, covered in scars.
The unwilling resentment after his death was sensed by Wen Wu.
Thus, the Goddess descended upon this world.
She would grant him limitless indulgence and love—
And lead him out of the pain that had bound him for a lifetime.
