Two months after I died, it finally occurred to my parents that they'd forgotten to bring me back from their trip. My father scowled in frustration. "She was supposed to walk back herself. Does she really need to make such a big deal out of it?" My brother, ever smug, opened our chat and sent an emoji, along with a message. "You'd better die out there. That way, Scarlett and I will split Grandma's inheritance." He received no reply. With a frosty expression, my mother said, "Tell her if she shows up for her grandmother's birthday on time, I'll let the whole pushing-Scarlett-into-the-water thing go." They never believed I hadn't made it out of those woods. After digging six feet into the ground, they finally found my bones deep in the forest.

When they come back out, she pins me to the ground and tries to strangle me to death. I just can't understand it. What's inside that chapel that has the power to change them so drastically? If Dad already knows that every woman who goes inside will come out different, why does he insist on bringing them in?

"Harper, don't be afraid. As soon as the trial is over, I'll take you to see the auroras at Moon Goddess Lake."

My wolf spirit was already fading.

I grew up abroad. My mother feared I might marry a foreign man, so she arranged an engagement for me with a talented and handsome man in Flodon. She insisted that I return home to get engaged.
I came back and started shopping for an engagement dress at a luxury boutique. I selected an off-white strapless gown and decided to try it on.
Suddenly, a woman nearby glanced at the dress in my hand and told the saleswoman, "That's a unique design. Let me try it."
The saleswoman immediately yanked it out of my hands.
I protested indignantly, "Excuse me, I was here first. Don't you understand the principle of 'first come, first served'? Or do you just not care about common decency?"
The woman scoffed and retorted, "This dress costs $188,000. Do you really think a broke nobody like you can even afford it?
"I'm Lucas Goodwin's sister in all but blood. He's the chairman of Goodwin Group. In Flodon, the Goodwin family sets the rules."
What a coincidence! Lucas Goodwin was my fiancé!
I immediately called him and said, "Hey, your 'sister in all but blood' just stole my engagement dress. Do something about it."
