North Lomei Labyrinth

Rebirth: My Reclusive Husband Helps Me Get Revenge!

“An illegitimate child will always be an outsider.” For Yu Lixue, life in the Yu family was one of endless humiliation. As the unwanted daughter with no mother to defend her, she was treated like a pawn, used, ignored, and discarded. Her talents—her paintings, her songs—were stolen by her stepmother and conniving half-sister, who claimed them as their own. Her life was a series of shadows and silence, living under their lies. But when her half-sister fled an arranged marriage with Mo Ran, a powerful but reclusive man, the family forced Lixue to take her place. Once again, her wishes were disregarded. Her marriage to Mo Ran was cold, distant—another prison she had no choice but to endure. Until the night she died in a mysterious accident, her pleas for justice buried along with her. Yet fate gave her a second chance. Reborn into the same world that betrayed her, Lixue returns with a vow: she will take back everything they stole—her art, her voice, her freedom. And when she reenters her marriage with Mo Ran, he surprises her with a proposition: he will help her get revenge against those who wronged her. But Lixue is wary. Why is this man, who barely showed her any warmth before, now offering to stand by her side? As they plot against the Yu family, Lixue realizes that Mo Ran has his own reasons for revenge. Their alliance begins to blur the line between ally and enemy, and she questions whether he’s truly on her side or if he has his own hidden agenda. In a world filled with deceit and betrayal, Yu Lixue must decide: will she risk trusting her husband, or will she forge her own path to reclaim what’s hers, no matter the cost? Excerpt: Lixue stared down at the steaming bowl of soup on the table, blinking in surprise. Mo Ran placed it before her with a steady hand, his usual calm expression softened just slightly by a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes. She tried to catch his gaze, but he’d already turned away, busying himself with the teapot. “Why are you…?” she murmured, glancing between the bowl and him, her voice trailing off. He looked up, meeting her eyes with a hint of amusement. “Why am I what?” She fumbled for words, her cheeks warming. “Why are you…being so nice to me?” A small smile played on his lips, barely there but just enough to leave her heart fluttering. “Is it so strange for a husband to be kind to his wife?” She opened her mouth to reply, but nothing came out. The Mo Ran she remembered from her past life had been as cold as winter, never sparing her a second glance. This new version of him, warm and considerate, left her feeling…confused. “Eat,” he said, his voice soft. “You didn’t eat much at breakfast.” She nodded, taking the spoon with a slight tremor in her fingers. The soup was rich, comforting—something she would have loved as a child. The warmth of it melted away a part of her guardedness, leaving her strangely vulnerable. As she set down her spoon, she glanced at him again, still puzzled. “What’s gotten into you, Mo Ran?” “…” “Let’s just say I want to spoil you my darling..” Extra tags: #Rebirth#FaceSlapping #SchemingSister #ColdHusbandTurnedSweet#EnemiesToLovers#IllegitimateDaughter

The Labyrinth Keys

In the sprawling waste zones of Ashfield, a city choked by the refuse of a broken society, Jack Vesper sorts through discarded junk with no real future in sight. At 25, he's just another misfit, another person tossed aside by the world, now working a grueling job as a garbage sorter. The days are monotonous, but when he stumbles upon a strange, black metal sphere buried deep in the trash, everything changes. Curious, Jack presses a hidden button on the sphere, releasing a small black chip into his hand. It feels heavy with mystery and potential, too precise to be just another piece of discarded tech. With no one else around on a slow Saturday shift, Vesper pockets the chip and continues his work, unaware that this seemingly insignificant object is about to pull him into a new, dangerous world. Jack's curiosity gets the better of him, and he travels to a long-forgotten lab on the outskirts of the city. The lab, once a hub for cutting-edge research, is now abandoned, its halls lined with old maps, blueprints, and cryptic notes. As he begins to study the charts, he discovers a book of labyrinths spanning the globe-labyrinths not just made of stone, but of technology and power, their existence hidden from the world. Some of these labyrinths hold secrets of unimaginable value; others, unfathomable dangers. The chip seems to be a key-a gateway into these labyrinths. As Jack begins to piece together the labyrinth's secrets, he realizes that it could lead him to a power unlike anything the world has ever known. But with that power comes the threat of those who would stop at nothing to control it. The line between friend and foe blurs, and Vesper must navigate not only the physical maze but the twisted web of secrets and lies surrounding him. The adventure begins with one small chip-and the future depends on what Jack discovers within the labyrinth's depths.

The Forgotten Labyrinth

In the small town of Ravenswood, an ancient well has long been the center of local legends, whispered to be cursed and tied to strange disappearances. For Evie Hart, the well is more than a story—it’s the last place her father, a historian obsessed with uncovering the truth behind the town’s myths, was seen before vanishing without a trace. All that remains of him is a journal filled with cryptic sketches and notes about a labyrinth said to lie beneath the earth. Years later, five estranged childhood friends—Evie, Sophie, Mark, Liam, and Claire—receive a mysterious letter calling them back to the well at midnight. The letter promises answers to the unresolved guilt, secrets, and tragedies that fractured their friendship years ago. Though reluctant, each feels compelled to reunite, drawn by their own personal struggles and the letter’s haunting allure. Beneath the well, they discover the labyrinth: a vast, sentient structure that feeds on guilt, betrayal, and fear. Its ever-shifting halls present not only physical challenges but psychological trials that force the group to confront their darkest secrets. As they navigate its twisted passages, the friends begin to uncover the labyrinth’s horrifying truth: it was created by a man obsessed with rewriting reality, and it thrives on the very emotions that threaten to tear them apart. With every step, the labyrinth grows more dangerous, dredging up memories of a traumatic event from their childhood—the disappearance of Sophie’s younger sister, Amy. As guilt and blame resurface, the group’s fragile trust begins to fracture. Secrets are revealed, alliances shift, and the labyrinth manipulates them, whispering offers of salvation at a terrible cost. Amid the chaos, Evie discovers her father’s connection to the labyrinth and realizes that his disappearance was no accident. The labyrinth remembers those who enter—and it never forgets. Liam, plagued by fragmented memories, comes to a devastating conclusion: he has been in the labyrinth before and may have unwittingly triggered the events that destroyed their friendship. The ultimate challenge awaits at the heart of the labyrinth. To escape, the group must make an impossible choice: sacrifice one of their own or risk being trapped forever. As tensions reach a breaking point, Liam steps forward to atone for his past mistakes, offering himself to the labyrinth. His sacrifice allows the others to escape—but not without consequences. When the group emerges, they find the world subtly altered. Familiar landmarks are gone, and even loved ones’ memories of them seem warped. As they grapple with the eerie changes, Evie receives another letter: “The labyrinth remembers. You’ve only solved one piece.” It becomes clear that the labyrinth’s power extends far beyond its walls—and it’s not done with them yet. Key Themes: Guilt and Redemption: The labyrinth forces the characters to confront the consequences of their past mistakes, testing their ability to forgive themselves and each other. Friendship and Trust: The group’s fractured bond is central to the story, with the labyrinth amplifying their mistrust and fears. The Cost of Secrets: Each character harbors a secret that the labyrinth manipulates, demonstrating the dangers of buried truths. Sacrifice and Consequences: The group learns that survival often comes at a cost, and even acts of heroism leave scars.
