Chapter 1

The System’s frantic warnings kept ringing in my ears like funeral bells, but even more terrifying than the mechanical warnings was Dean Parker’s cold response.“No! I’m not leaving right now! Claire’s terrified from what happened earlier. She’s been crying nonstop, and the stress is causing signs of miscarriage. She needs me now more than ever!”System: [But the Female Protagonist clearly needs you more! She’s suffered so much, and she’s six months pregnant. You deliberately redirected enemies who were supposed to target the Supporting Character, leading them to kidnap her instead. Have you even thought about what they might do to her–]Before the System could finish, Dean cut it off impatiently. “Of course I know! That’s exactly why I can’t let Claire go through this! Besides, things have gotten this far. Sophia has endured all suffering. Once the baby they cut out of her is completely dead, the disaster that was supposed to fall on Claire will finally be over. I can save Sophia a

“Good thing we didn’t get far. We almost forgot about this little thing!”“If you want someone to blame, blame your mother for crossing the wrong people. The remnants of the Bennett family never should’ve existed in the first place!”The moment I realized my baby was dead, the last bit of strength holding me together finally disappeared.System: [Warning! Warning! The Female Protagonist’s life force has dropped to five. Survival instinct has reached zero. Death expected within 30 seconds!][If the Female Protagonist dies, this world will enter an irreversible self-destruction sequence. Within twenty-four hours, the entire dimension will collapse into a black hole. All living beings will cease to exist forever!]The System’s warning exploded in my ears like nonstop sirens, but I felt nothing. I lay motionless on the ground, staring blankly upward like a corpse whose soul had been ripped away. Scenes from the past replayed before my eyes one after another.Dean and I had grown up t

Chapter 3

I thought I was going to die that day, yet somehow, I was dragged back from the brink of death.The ICU room was dim and cold beneath the harsh hospital lights. Even the overpowering smell of disinfectant couldn’t cover the thick scent of blood clinging to my body. Every breath sent unbearable pain tearing through my shattered limbs, as if my entire body was being crushed apart piece by piece. Yet, even in that state, I could hear the hushed conversation coming from the executives gathered at the foot of my hospital bed.“Ms. Cartwright’s leaked photos and videos are all over the internet now. The public’s saying she abandoned the company’s biggest annual bidding conference just to go party and get herself into trouble.”“But she was kidnapped. It’s obvious those videos were taken by the criminals to frame her!”“What use is the truth? Nobody believes it anymore. The company’s supposed to go public by the end of the year. After this scandal, investors are already pulling back. Our

Chapter 4

Over the next few days, my world was plunged into darkness. Because of the drugs, I couldn’t move or speak. All I could do was lie there and listen to the filthy accusations.Meanwhile, under the Parker family’s arrangements behind the scenes, every major media outlet and tabloid released statement after statement exposing my so-called crimes. They claimed I had ignored the company’s responsibilities, indulged in a corrupt lifestyle, colluded with criminal organizations, and even hinted that my parents’ charity work had all been fake from the very beginning—nothing more than a cover for the family’s dirty dealings.Overnight, I went from being a respected philanthropist to a disgraced socialite condemned by the entire country. Even my late parents became scapegoats in place of Claire’s real family. Suddenly, they were painted as heartless corporate monsters responsible for countless crimes.The families of those truly harmed by the Bennett family were manipulated by public outrage.

Chapter 5

After some time, my consciousness separated from my body, drifting weightlessly in the air. At last, the agony that had eaten through my bones disappeared.I looked down at the broken body lying on the hospital bed. The empty sockets where my eyes had once been stared blankly at the ceiling. The severed wounds on my limbs were horrifying, and my entire body was covered in torn, bloodied gashes. That body had once belonged to me, and it was the body Dean had personally sent to hell.Suddenly, the hospital room door slammed open. Dean rushed in like a madman, in a panic and in desperation. He shoved aside the nurses and security guards gathered around the bed, then pushed away the doctor trying to stop him before throwing himself toward me.The man who had always been calm and composed now looked utterly terrified—a side of him I had never seen before. His hands trembled as he carefully pulled my cold body into his arms.“Sophia… Sophia!” His voice cracked as he called my name again

Chapter 6

“Dean, I heard about Sophia…”Before she could finish her sentence, Claire started choking back sobs, looking completely overwhelmed with grief.“Don’t be too saddened over this. Your health matters too. If something happens to you, what will happen to the baby and me?”She walked to the hospital bed and glanced at my lifeless body. Only after confirming that I was truly dead did she finally relax.“I know you had feelings for Sophia, but she’s gone. People out there are already spreading rumors about the Cartwright family. If her funeral isn’t handled properly, it could damage both your reputation and Cartwright Group’s image. It might even affect our child’s future.”She carefully studied Dean’s expression before continuing, “Why not arrange for cremation as soon as possible? Find a nice plot of land to bury her, and that’ll be more than enough respect for the dead. We have to move on with our lives.”Dean turned toward Claire, looking irritated. However, at that moment, the Sy

A violent storm suddenly swept through the western side of the city. At both the hospital and the Cartwright Group headquarters, the electrical systems began malfunctioning over and over again. The wiring was brand new, yet the power would short-circuit out of the blue. Entire buildings would fall into darkness before the electricity was restored minutes later.Dean knew exactly what it meant. These were the signs of the world collapsing, and every time another abnormal event appeared, the System’s warning became more frantic.System: [World Self-Destruction Countdown: 15 hours, 12 minutes remaining.][Dimensional energy instability detected. Anomalies will continue to intensify.]The anxiety eating away at Dean grew worse with every passing hour. At night, he could barely close his eyes. He stayed beside my bed in the ICU the entire time, holding my ice-cold hand while repeating the promises he had once made to me when we were young.“Sophia, do you remember? When we were kids in

Chapter 8

Seeing this, Claire secretly felt delighted. She assumed Dean had gone mentally unstable from the grief of losing me, and if that were the case, it would only make Cartwright Group easier for her to control. Still, she worried Dean’s worsening condition would eventually affect the company’s operations. What if the company collapsed before she could get her hands on its assets?After thinking it over, she secretly contacted what remained of the Bennett family’s connections. Behind Dean’s back, she arranged for people to transfer Cartwright Group’s liquid funds and copy confidential core technology files, hoping to seize control of the company in advance. That way, even if Dean lost his mind one day, she could secure her position as Mrs. Parker and live off the company’s wealth forever.What she didn’t know was that her little schemes had long been spotted by the spies Dean had planted within Cartwright Group. Before long, the evidence was delivered to Dean. The moment Dean saw the fil

Chapter 9

With the System’s warning echoing in Dean’s mind, he headed straight for the press conference on the top floor of the Cartwright Group headquarters.The entire rooftop hall was brightly lit, and cameras were already set up in rows. Somehow, Claire had broken free from the bodyguards restraining her. She stood on stage with one hand supporting her lower back and wept as she faced the cameras, claiming that after my death, Dean had suffered a mental breakdown and refused to transfer the Cartwright family assets as promised. She even accused him of slandering the Bennett family.The crowd below buzzed instantly. Some sympathized with Claire. Others questioned Dean’s mental state. However, what no one realized was that Dean had been standing at the entrance.“Claire, are you done yet?”Everyone turned to look at Dean, who was radiating a commanding presence. He held a stack of documents in his hand and walked toward the stage. Claire’s expression changed instantly. She instinctively st

Chapter 10

The hall was crowded with reporters swarming around Dean, questions firing off one after another.“Mr. Parker, since you knew the Cartwright family was innocent, why did you help Miss Bennett organize that press conference to clear their name in the first place?”“What is the truth behind Ms. Cartwright’s death? Will her name ever be cleared?”Dean didn’t respond, and at that moment, the System’s voice suddenly changed.System: [Detected a drastic shift in the Host’s behavior. Hidden System function has been triggered!][The Host may sacrifice all his vitality to awaken the consciousness of the Female Protagonist, Sophia Cartwright, allowing her spirit to return to her body!]“Sacrifice my vitality? What does that mean?”[After sacrificing all your vitality, the Female Protagonist’s consciousness will be forcibly reactivated, and her body will be fully restored by the power of the System. However, the Host will lose all vitality, your soul will be destroyed, and you’ll be erased
