Sophie Langston

My sister died in my place. I married her billionaire fiancé to atone.
Now, I am his perfect replica—dressed in her clothes, whispering with her voice, crushed by his hatred for living when she did not.

His final punishment? A new woman. One who mirrors the ghost he loves better than I ever could.

They call me hollow. They say I’m breaking.
But when a shadow shatters, the pieces are sharp. And I will make sure he bleeds.

My sister’s dying wish bound me to her fiancé, the ruthless billionaire Calvin. To atone, I became his wife—a living sacrifice in her place. I endured the humiliations, the allergic tortures, the cold bed, and the cruel world that saw me as a usurper.

I thought hell was being his prisoner. I was wrong. True hell was loving him, silently, as he broke me.

My death was my only escape and my final truth. Now, with the secrets of that fateful day laid bare, Calvin’s vengeance has a new target. The man who built my living hell now burns the world down in my name. But for a ghost, there is no forgiveness… only an eternity of his regret.

"Her dying wish was my life sentence: to marry the man who blames me for her death.
To the world, I am his tragic bride. In truth, I am his prisoner of penance—a hollow replacement for the sister I couldn't save. His punishment is meticulous: public scorn, private torment, and the cruel reminder that I live the life she was meant to have.
But as suspicious fires burn and threats close in, a hidden truth begins to surface. The past that condemned me may not be what it seems. Now, caught between his relentless vengeance and a shadow closing in, I am forced to confront a terrible question.
When the only man who wants me broken is also the one who won't let me die, where does the punishment end… and something else begin?"

He took everything: my dignity, my child, my last heartbeat for his beloved. Death was his final gift to me. But I returned, not for forgiveness, but to watch the mighty crumble in regret.

Now, the man who once hung me from a tree kneels, begging for a second chance I will never grant. His “火葬场” is my masterpiece. Yet, in the ashes of his despair, I found a different solace—a gentle hand that had been reaching for me all along, even in my darkest grave.

Some fires are meant not to rekindle, but to clear the way for a new dawn. Let him burn. I’ve chosen to rise, and love.

For three years, she was his most trusted confidante and his secret wife—until a devastating loss revealed their entire marriage was a legal fraud.

Now, with his flawless ex back and seizing everything—her position, her reputation, even her life's work—she has nothing left to lose. While he keeps choosing his precious rival, she quietly documents every betrayal.

He believes she's trapped forever. He is wrong.
This is no longer a love story. It's a meticulously plotted reckoning.
