Reborn as the Wife He Killed
Alia is a skilled thief who, in search of a legendary treasure, sneaks into a castle under the cover of night. However, she unexpectedly witnesses the castle’s owner, the handsome and cold-hearted billionaire Marcellus, murder his wife. In the chaos of her escape, Alia is discovered and killed by him. But death isn’t the end. Alia wakes up to find herself reborn a year earlier, this time in the body of the wife Marcellus had killed—Livia. Faced with the man who had once killed her, now acting outwardly kind but still harboring deadly intentions, Alia knows she must uncover the truth within a year and avoid the same tragic fate. Her plan? Escape the castle and steal the treasure.
During her time in the castle, Alia discovers that Livia’s identity is far from simple, and she soon finds herself tangled in a deeper conspiracy. Marcellus’s younger brother, Elias, has a close, secret relationship with Livia, one that seems to involve hidden feelings. As Alia secretly investigates Marcellus’s true intentions, she is drawn to his conflicting mixture of gentleness and coldness. At the same time, the body of Livia compels her to develop feelings for Elias, whose tender care for her awakens a sense of warmth. Caught in a whirlwind of emotions, Alia realizes that every person’s motives are more complex than they first appear, and she must make difficult choices between truth, revenge, love, and survival.
As the one-year deadline approaches, the conspiracy unfolds, and Marcellus’s true intentions toward Livia are exposed. Alia finally finds a chance to escape. But with emotions tangled and fate inextricably linked to the castle, will she choose revenge and freedom, or will she find redemption and true love within the deadly walls of the castle?

Chapter: Chapter 213: The King of the UnderworldElias was silent for a long moment, his gaze dim as he stared off into the distance—like he hadn’t dredged that name up from memory in years. With a heavy sigh, he spoke in a low, conflicted voice:“…Yes. I think I know who he is now.”He paused, then pulled a thin piece of paper from his sleeve. The handwriting was familiar—clean, sharp, and unadorned. It was unmistakably Emma’s. She had left him a letter as well.He unfolded it and showed Livia a few lines before speaking softly:“Maybe Emma figured I’ve spent years dealing with people from all walks of life—thieves, spies, mercenaries—so she left me a separate note. She didn’t say much, but… it was enough for me to understand her intent.”He looked up, his eyes heavy with realization.“She mentioned Jim… and a few of his aliases. Names I’ve heard before—only now do I realize they were all him.”He folded the letter back up and tucked it inside his coat. His voice was low and steady, like still water:“He’s a legend, Livia. In the u

Chapter: Chapter 212: Emma’s DepartureLivia gently closed the door behind her. She looked at Emma one last time but said nothing more. She understood now—sometimes you can keep someone close, yet still lose their heart. Emma had already made her decision. No matter how calm her words seemed, the intent to leave had long since broken through the surface.Livia turned and walked away.The moment the door clicked shut, Emma stood silently by the window, watching Livia’s figure disappear at the end of the corridor. Then, she exhaled—long and slow.Without a trace of hesitation, she turned back into the room and began packing swiftly. Her movements were precise, yet quiet and gentle, as if afraid of disturbing the unspoken emotions lingering in the air. She placed her concealed dagger, a small vial of medicine, a well-worn, creased map, and a few items of clothing into her pack one by one.This was not an escape.Emma knew herself too well to call it that. She wasn’t someone driven by fear. If threats alone could move her, she

Chapter: Chapter 211: Resolve to LeaveEmma sat back down in the chair, her gaze dark and heavy, knuckles tightening slightly as though she were suppressing a shiver summoned by old memories. Her voice dropped, emerging like a warning scraped from deep in her throat—laced with shadows that could not be ignored:“You don’t know how ruthless he is.”She didn’t speak his name, only referred to him as he, but the understanding between them was absolute.“Back then, I was young, just beginning to learn the art of assassination. The first thing he ever taught me was: ‘Before you slit the throat, cut off the air. Don’t give the prey a chance to scream.’”Livia felt a chill crawl up her spine as she listened.Emma continued, “He can reshape his body at will, just to hide in places no one else could reach. His techniques, his spies, his traps—none of them are things an ordinary person could imagine. If he says he can identify who passed through a place, I believe it. He probably has a hundred ways to do it.” Her voice turned cold a

Chapter: Chapter 210: The Fearsome MasterWhen Livia pushed the door open, the ceiling light illuminated Emma sitting by the window, polishing a dagger. The moment her keen eyes lifted and saw the familiar figure at the door, a crack of emotion split her usually calm and composed expression.“You… finally came back.” She stood up, trying to keep her tone casual, but her voice trembled slightly.Livia said nothing, simply walked over and stopped in front of her. The two locked eyes for a brief moment before Emma pulled her into a firm hug. It wasn’t forceful, but it was resolute—anchoring Livia to reality, as if refusing to let her vanish again.“Thank goodness you’re safe,” Emma murmured, her tone uncharacteristically laced with anxiety. “I thought…”“I’m fine.” Livia gently patted her back, her voice soft yet steady. “I made it back.”Only after a long moment did Emma let her go and sit back down by the window. The composed expression befitting a general quickly returned to her face, as if the emotion just now had been nothi

Chapter: Chapter 209: The Recovered PagesThe morning sunlight filtered through the gap in the hospital curtains—gentle, yet cool.Livia opened her eyes, looking at Marcellus who was still sleeping by her side.Though fatigue still lingered in his features, his breathing was even, and his complexion looked much improved from the night before.She didn’t have the heart to wake him. Gently, she slipped her hand from his grasp, her gaze full of tenderness and a trace of reluctant affection.In the end, she only left the lightest of kisses on his forehead before quietly rising and leaving the room.As she pushed open the door, a sharp wind swept through the corridor, carrying with it the lingering chill of the previous night.At the end of the hallway, Elias was already waiting, wrapped in a windbreaker, his eyes shadowed with exhaustion from a sleepless night.Their gazes met, neither speaking first.At last, Livia broke the silence in a low voice. “Let’s go.”Without alerting anyone at the hospital, they slipped out through the

Chapter: Chapter 208: Midnight CompanionshipThe lighting in the hospital room was dim and gentle, while the night outside grew ever darker. The wind still blew, lifting the corner of the curtain as if the turmoil beyond the window was silently intensifying. Inside, however, the three of them fell into a rare silence.Though they had indeed secured a fragment of the “Holy Grail,” they all understood—this victory had come at an almost unbearable cost.“We… can no longer act in the shadows,” Elias said. His voice was calm, yet it carried a weight of pressure that couldn’t be hidden.Livia gave a slight nod, bitterness rising in her chest. Yes, even though they now possessed a fragment, all their previous strategies and plans could no longer be carried out in secret. Eryx would never allow them another chance to strike. Without a doubt, he would further tighten control, block every route, and have them watched relentlessly.What was more unsettling, though, was the sense that—looking back on the entire operation—Eryx hadn’t been ca
