Summer Bellani had everything—wealth, power, beauty, and a love she believed unbreakable. As the cherished daughter of the Bellani family, she lived a golden life in Italy under the adoring gaze of her four influential brothers and a fiancé who once called her his world. But it all shattered the day her father returned with a secret daughter and placed her into their home like an honored guest. That daughter—Ciara—smiled sweetly, spoke gently, and stole everything. Betrayed, isolated, and slowly poisoned to death, Summer died with hate in her heart and blood on her lips. But fate gave her another chance. Now reborn to the time before her destruction, Summer is no longer the naive socialite people remember. With sharp instincts, a deadly calm, and the aid of Sham Sham—a mysterious system bound to her mother’s ancient artifact—Summer sets out not just to reclaim what was hers… but to ruin those who dared strip her of it. Armed with beauty, brains, and her newfound bond with the ruthless stock market and cutthroat business world, she weaves herself into entertainment scandals, backroom boardroom deals, and the darkest layers of power. What she doesn’t expect is him—the paranoid, emotionally-walled male lead who sees through lies but is haunted by his own demons. As their worlds collide in a slow-burning war of obsession and mistrust, Summer realizes that love may not be the weakness it once was... but a weapon. Betrayal was her past. Domination is her future.

The War of Mortals Against Gods When ancient myths are no longer legends, but revelations of the universe's ultimate horror. In 2024, China accidentally touched a forbidden secret on the far side of the moon, awakening the "Primal Chaos" that had slept for ten millennia—a group of immortal "Ancient Gods" who manipulate the laws of the cosmos. Every five years, they descend upon Earth, wielding powers beyond mortal comprehension to conduct a bloody harvest. The fate of human civilization is thrust into a "War of Mortals and Gods" spanning ten thousand years. From Chang'e's tragic sacrifice to suppress the gods, to the tear-stained epic of the Great Flood and Nüwa mending the heavens, the legends passed down through generations of mortals turn out to be real imprints of resistance against the deities. Facing this divine judgment, humanity awakens from initial ignorance, internal strife, and arrogance through bloodshed. Through repeated, agonizing "Five-Year Curses," they cast aside all selfish desires, forging "Law Weapons" with their flesh and blood, using technology to wield the first sharp blade against the gods. However, this is not the end. When the "Primal Chaos" reveals new, more cunning and psychologically devastating abilities, humanity's only hope rests on a solitary ark named the "Ark of Hope." It will carry humanity's last vestiges of faith, sailing 200,000 light-years into unknown deep space, to seek the fabled "Friendly Gods" who supposedly once aided humanity. This is an epic about sacrifice, unity, technology, and faith. With each passing "Five-Year Curse" countdown, can mortals defy fate, secure a glimmer of hope for civilization, and perhaps even bring a definitive end to this ten-thousand-year destiny?
