The Lost Substitute Shinigami Arc

On the day of her wedding, Ivy Quinn vanishes, leaving behind only a note: "I’m sorry, I can't marry a blind man." To protect her son from heartbreak, Elizabeth Winters strikes a desperate deal—Ruby, Ivy’s identical twin, must take her sister’s place at the altar. Trapped by duty and family pressure, Ruby agrees, believing it will only last until Stefan’s eyesight is restored. But from the moment they marry, Stefan senses something is different about his "wife." The woman beside him is nothing like the shallow fiancée he once knew. She’s sharp, resilient, and understands his business in a way Ivy never did. Against all odds, he falls harder than ever for this new version of her. And Ruby? She never expected to fall in love with a man who was never meant to be hers. But just when she finds the courage to tell him the truth, Ivy returns, ready to reclaim the life she abandoned. When Stefan finally opens his eyes, will he see the woman who truly stood by him—or will he be too blind to recognize real love? ****Excerpt**** “By the way, did Ruby come to the wedding?” he asked, catching her off guard since she hadn't expected him to ask her that all of a sudden. Was he already suspecting that it was her and not Ivy? Ruby’s fingers froze on the door handle for just a fraction of a second. It was enough to set off alarms in Stefan's head. “I—uh…” She hesitated, but only briefly. “No. She had work. She couldn’t make it.” Was he suspecting a switch already? What must have set off the alarm in his head? Stefan hummed, tilting his head slightly. “Oh, I see. How is she, then? I hope she's coming to visit one of these days?” Her fingers tightened on the handle, though her voice remained steady. “Yeah. She would, the moment she is chanced and can come.” A slow smirk tugged at the corner of Stefan’s lips, though he kept his expression neutral. Interesting. Very interesting. His wife had just lied to him and he didn't know why. Even though he was blind, he'd find out why soon enough.

On the day of her wedding, Evie Yong’s world shattered before her very eyes as her soon-to-be husband trashed all their past eight years of relationship by denying her at the altar, in the presence of everyone. However, forced to watch her fiancé stolen, Evie couldn't believe her stepmother and stepsister dared to plot such a scheming plan to ruin her completely. Devastated and feeling betrayed, Evie had to come up with a quick option to save herself from all this mess and that was when she had to flee away from her wedding in shame and soon figured out a plan to strike back in such a way that her enemies will be put into ruins, just as they once did to her earlier. === “Mr. Lu, It seems we're both victims of circumstance. My groom has abandoned me for my sister, and your fiancée has run away. Why don't we turn this awkward situation into an opportunity?” She smiled boldly. “Let's get married, right here, right now!” Lu Tiancheng’s expression remained unreadable, but briefly, a hint of intrigue flickered in his eyes. He raised an eyebrow, “You're suggesting we marry each other and also we are complete strangers?” Evie Yong nodded, her confidence unwavering. “Why not? We're both clearly compatible and this way, we can both save face and gain a partner, except for the fact that this will be a contract marriage of six months.” Lu Tiancheng's gaze lingered on hers as if sizing her up. Then, he nodded slowly. “Very well, let's do it.” === “You're either very brave or very reckless to make such an attempt in picking me as your husband in public,” he said after the marriage. “If I didn't try, we wouldn't have figured out a way to get this opportunity.” She responded. …. He's a giant of entrepreneurship, standing high among moguls. She was born out of wedlock and denied by her family. She's been fighting tooth and nail to make a name for herself in the cutthroat world of entertainment, refusing to let her illegitimacy define her destiny. Two strangers are brought together under one roof, but their newfound connection has dangerous people lurking around. There are evil people scheming and eagerly waiting for Evie’s downfall and never going to stop until they successfully get her kicked out of the door. But funnily enough, the seemingly "worthless" person they target is about to unleash hidden capabilities beyond their wildest nightmares. #Sweetheart #Secretidentity #1v1

The flood was not the end. It was the new beginning. Fifteen years ago, the world drowned. Entire nations vanished beneath the sea. Those who survived did so aboard colossal lifeboats known as ARCs, each carrying fragments of lost civilizations, scattered beliefs, and forgotten bloodlines. From the wreckage rose two orphaned cousins — Malious and Kalious — raised aboard ARC 7, forged in salt, steel, and silence. They were not soldiers. Not kings. Not chosen by prophecy. Just boys born in ruin… who never broke their bond. Now, as land returns and fractured kingdoms claw for dominance, the world finds itself on the brink of a second collapse. Ancient relics stir beneath sacred soil. Shadow-born creatures hunt in the night. And whispers spread of a forgotten war that predates the flood itself. But the sons of ARC do not kneel to fate. They fight for it. Armed with evolving weapons, sacred artifacts, and unshakable brotherhood, Malious and Kalious set out across a world trying to remember itself — not to rule it, but to survive it. And in doing so, they may awaken the very force that drowned it all.

I never thought the man in my bed that night would be him—James Watson, the cold, powerful CEO of the Watson Group. And I never thought my own father would drug me and hand me over… just so my "perfect" twin sister, Lilith, could marry into his empire. I was just the substitute. The pawn. The unwanted daughter was used to seal a deal. James knew the truth from the start. He knew I wasn’t Lilith. But he played along. He made me pregnant. He made me fall. And then he watched me drown. They thought I’d be silent. Obedient. Disposable. But they were wrong. By day, I’m Rose Lang—the quiet auditor in glasses, hidden behind spreadsheets and silence. By night, I become her—Lilith, seductive and dangerous, the woman he thinks he controls. What they don’t know is that I’m done playing their game. I will burn their empire to the ground. And when I do… I’ll make them all regret ever using me. Especially you, James Watson. Because I was never just the substitute. I am the storm.
