CEO
Danice left the divorce papers on the bedside table. Ten years. She endured and stayed silent—all for the sake of love. Despite the opposition from those around her, she clung tightly to her position as Julian’s wife, believing that he cared for her. But it was all just her delusion. It had been ten years of a loveless marriage. Danice touched the burn scar on her face. This disfigured face had become both her shame… and her proof of love for him. But what she didn’t realize was that it had also become the chain that bound him to this lifeless marriage. He had married her… out of pity. That realization hurt more than any insult others hurled at her because of her appearance. She had held him back for ten years. And she had suffered enough. It was time to let go. Danice finally realized that her ten-year marriage had been a shackle—for both of them. Just as she found the strength to let go of the love that had never been returned… death came for her. When she thought she had stepped into the afterlife, she opened her eyes— Eleven years in the past. Unmarried. She hadn’t even met Julian yet. Danice believed that a merciful God had taken pity on her and granted her a second chance— A chance to live for herself, to love herself. And so, that’s exactly what she did. She avoided meeting Julian at all costs, and even found a way to escape the accident that had once disfigured her face. Everything seemed to be going smoothly— But... Why was the man who had never once looked her way… suddenly appearing everywhere she went? This… this wasn’t like the past at all!

The rattling sound of the old heater echoed in the background. The dim light from the lamp barely illuminated the room.Danice stared at the man lying on the bed, her expression solemn.Manager Fang came in. Danice looked up at her and asked, “Where is the doctor?”“…There’s no doctor in the nearby village. Pei had to go to the town to look for one. But Claire told me that the clinics are already closed at this hour. We might only be able to get a doctor in the morning.”Danice glanced at Julian anxiously. “…That man named Pei—did he come with him?”Manager Fang nodded.Danice sighed in relief. If Pei was Julian’s person, then he would definitely find a way to get a doctor, no matter the hour.Manager Fang looked at the man on the bed, her expression turning serious. “Pei checked on him earlier. There are no visible wounds. Why hasn’t he woken up yet?”Danice followed her gaze. “…I might have hit him too hard…”Manager Fang: “…” She could still recall her shock when she saw that scene

As the car continued forward, the houses became more scattered, the road growing darker. The buildings they passed were unlit, swallowed by the night.Julian noticed the scene and couldn’t help asking, “Are the people in this area extremely impoverished?” He had seen several residents inside the houses, relying on candlelight.“No. It seems to be a power outage,” the guide replied. “This old town experiences outages from time to time.”When they passed by the village, the entire area was shrouded in darkness. Several people stood outside, holding their phones high to use the flashlight function.The sight was absurd in such a remote village.It was already deep into the night. Most villagers should have been inside their homes, sleeping. Not on their devices.From their appearance, these people didn’t look like locals at all. They looked like city folk.“…Is that the production crew?” Julian asked.The guide recognized a few faces and nodded. “Yes.”But something felt off.Based on th

Danice sighed. What an unlucky day.She had no devices with her, was locked inside a cold, dark room, and no one seemed to be in the house.Pulling the blanket around herself, she could only wait for Manager Fang or someone else to return.However, with no clock or watch, Danice couldn’t tell how much time had passed. It felt like an hour—yet it might have been only a few minutes. There was no way to know.She hugged the blanket tightly. Without the heater, the room grew cold almost immediately. This province was in the north, and the nights were especially frigid, even more so with winter approaching.Soon, her eyes adjusted to the darkness. Shapes in the room slowly emerged, and the world outside the window became clearer.The cold and darkness reminded her of that warehouse—the one with holes in the walls. She remembered how she had relied on the small openings facing Zagar’s window as her only source of light.Compared to those cold lonely nights, being locked in this cold dark ro

Manager Fang opened the door and was surprised to see Shaina standing outside.“Hi. I heard you guys would be staying here, so I dropped by before leaving.”The two let her in. Danice had thought Shaina left yesterday, but she had actually stayed. Was she also lodging in a nearby village?Shaina was holding a bottle of orange juice. “Thank you for talking with me on set. You’re the only friend I managed to make here. It’s because you’re kind and didn’t push me away. Everyone on set is afraid of Medina, and they naturally avoid me too. But you didn’t…”Danice: “…”She wanted to say that she had avoided her, but Shaina had kept approaching her anyway.“I’m very grateful for your company these past two days. And… I apologize again for making things difficult for you.” Shaina handed her the orange juice. “I hope for your success. I’m rooting for you.”Danice accepted the drink. “Thank you. Take care on your way home.”After Shaina left, Manager Fang glanced at Danice.Seeing her look, Dan

Fortunately, Danice had held off on accepting any offers and insisted on finding a capable manager first to help her decide. With her help, she would be able to dodge that bullet.Manager Fang’s reasoning made sense, so Danice left the matter in her hands.“I’ll contact them to confirm the exact de

Danice nearly choked on her coffee at the question. She quickly set her mug down and looked at Manager Fang seriously.“Manager Fang, the other day you told me that you regretted what you did—and that one of the reasons you apologized was because of your conscience. Is that right?”“…I did,” Manage
