The 101st World: He Crossed a Hundred Worlds to Claim Me
"On your eighteenth birthday, I'll marry you. And you will never leave."
He is not her blood. He is the man who raised her like a treasure and keeps her like a prisoner, the most feared name in the city, who once killed a guard for looking at her a moment too long. Lin Su is seventeen, a genius who has spent five years hiding exactly how brilliant she is, and she has one plan. Disappear before her birthday.
She runs out of time in the cruelest way there is.
One ordinary morning, every human on Earth vanishes at once, scattered across a hundred worlds built to kill them. A watch fuses to her wrist: a direction, and a number counting down from ninety. Reach the gate before it hits zero, or be trapped in that world forever. Clear all one hundred, and reach the only safe one left.
The 101st World.
So she hides everything. Her face, her genius, her name. She survives in the shadow of a cold, lethal commander who already seems to know how every world ends. A man who watches her too closely. Who makes every other man who comes near her quietly disappear. Who never explains why.
She is certain he only sees a little sister.
Everyone around them can see exactly what he is.
And a hundred worlds behind her, her brother is still coming. He has an army now, and the whole apocalypse to cross, and he has never once in his life lost something he decided was his.
Ninety days to a world. Two men who would burn down the heavens to keep her. And one truth she refuses to see until it is almost too late.
