Elena, a defiant and eccentric witch living in the Forbidden Forest, has witnessed the empire crumble under the reign of Kael, a once-promising disciple corrupted by darkness. Kael, once a bright-eyed orphan and a disciple of her very own enemy, was twisted into the empire's destroyer, abandoned and manipulated. In the face of the silver sword of her sworn enemy held by Kael, she makes a gamble against time and fate. Using forbidden magic, she strikes a deal with the timekeeper and plunges back into the past, 10 years before impending destruction. Faced with a chance to rewrite her destiny, she targets Kael and intends to make his master pay for neglecting his disciple. This time, she won't just stand by as the world crumbles; she will be his unlikely guardian, shaping him into a beacon of light instead of a harbinger of doom. Can Elena rewrite destiny? Or will the karma prove too strong for a witch to clash against the inevitable pull of fate?

The villain wasn’t meant to be an emperor—nor was he supposed to be handsome. Yet, for reasons I can’t fathom, he hates me. Attending the Academy of the Arcane—a school for the supernatural elite to master their powers—I became a force to be reckoned with. Untouchable. Unstoppable. My beauty was a double-edged sword, both a weapon and a haunting reminder of the life I once had and lost. Among the murmurs and wary glances, one presence stood out like a shadow cutting through the light: Tharros, the Emperor of Shadows. The unchallenged ruler of witches, vampires, werewolves, and fae. His gaze, cold yet searing, carried a weight of hatred that felt deeply personal. "You made me this way," he said, his voice raw with fury, his face a mask of torment. His words hit like a dagger, yet I had no memory of him—no clue of what crime he accused me of. When I denied his accusations, his laughter lingered like a ghost. "You don’t remember?" he said. "Then I’ll make sure you never forget." Days later, I woke up bound to him by an unholy marriage—a union I never consented to, sealed by his thirst for vengeance. Tharros’ darkness is all-encompassing, threatening to swallow every fragment of who I am. Now, I must untangle the web of his hatred, uncover the truth behind my parents’ murder, and face the memories he swears I’ve buried. Because in this deadly game of vengeance and power, the line between hate and something far more dangerous grows thinner with every heartbeat.

In the third year of our marriage, my wife’s ex-boyfriend of eight years suddenly posted a picture on social media showing off a multi-million-dollar wedding house. His caption read: “Wow, got myself a huge villa, I’m the master of charming women!” I stared in shock at the picture, which showed my wife swiping her card at a sales office, and left a single comment: "?" A second later, my wife called to scold me. “I was just fulfilling a promise I made to him back when we were dating, buying him a house. Why are you getting mad at him?” “What? Are you really going to be so vicious as to force me to break my word?” That evening, her ex showed off another lavish post, this time flaunting a renovation bill worth hundreds of thousands.
