stickman torture chamber 2

A renowned history professor makes an impossible discovery: a coded manuscript, hidden for centuries in the shadows of medieval Spain. But, in deciphering its contents, he crosses a line that should never have been touched… and is presumed dead in a macabre ritual conducted by a secret society spanning generations. Before disappearing, he sends the manuscript to two people. One of them is Gregory Evans. Unbeknownst to him, Evans is thrust into the center of an ancient conspiracy—a silent war waged in the shadows of humanity. Now, he is not just a mere investigator… he is one of the chosen. Chosen to protect—or destroy—the greatest secret ever hidden by humanity: The Ark of the Covenant. Pursued by unseen enemies and surrounded by allies who may not be who they claim to be, Gregory Evans embarks on a race against time that will take him through ancient codes, forbidden truths, and revelations capable of shaking the foundations of faith, power, and history itself. But there is something even more disturbing… Nothing is as it seems. And in the end, he will discover that the greatest mystery of all... was always a perfectly constructed lie.

Once you enter the Red Chamber...you will never escape.

For the sake of her family's dying company, Lin Wanmeng was forced to marry Ye Lingxiao, a man in a vegetative state. It was a solo wedding, after which she found that her boyfriend, Shen Yusong, was sleeping with her best friend. She gritted her teeth and decided to use her new status as Mrs. Ye to punish those scum! Throwing herself in front of Ye Lingxiao's, she bawled, "Oh, my husband... Don't worry. I will take care of you so that you recover soon! Sob..." The Ye family sighed. "We've picked the right girl. She just might be Lingxiao's lucky star!" "What a fine child! You will have played the most important role if he recovers!" "Yes, this is the right wife for my son. Shame he's so unfortunate in life!" Although Lin Wanmeng lay motionlessly in bed, he thought then that she was quite the actress, so he pinned her underneath himself and went for it. Later, rumors swirled everywhere that the persistently praised daughter-in-law of the Ye Family was pregnant with a bastard soon after her belly started to bulge. When the Ye family came with a bone to pick, Ye Lingxiao descended upon them, tenderly caressing her belly as he spoke words that left everyone shaking in their boots: "Call my son a bastard again, and I will tear your tongue out." As Shen Yusong saw Lin Wanmeng becoming more reliant on Ye Lingxiao by the day, he broke down and slapped himself across the face. "Oh, Wanmeng! I was wrong! The one I love has always been you! Let's elope! "Really? You're getting gutsier by the day, teasing your aunt now too!" Ye Lingxiao strode towards them and kicked Shen Yusong away before grabbing Lin Wanmeng by the chin and kissing her. She was sobbing as she wrapped her hands around his neck, complaining, "Oh, darling... If you were a second later, you would have lost your wife and son..."

In her previous life, she sacrificed everything for him. She helped him become the most powerful chancellor, but he still preferred her older sister whom he had a one night stand with.

Filled with hatred, moments before she died, Lu Xiang swore she would get her revenge on the people who hurt her... When she opened her eyes, she had returned to the year when she was fourteen. Although it was the same life she had previously lived, she now possessed a strong sense of vengeance. *** On a dark and windy night, Lu Xiang rescued the badly injured Chu Jinyan from his would-be assassinators. Lu Xiang's eyes glistened. "Well, well. You're someone from the royal family!" She dragged him to her house and hid him without saying another word. "There's a saying that one ought to offer their body to another after being rescued... Wait a second, I got it wrong. I think you're supposed to return the favor. Since I rescued you today, you have to agree to three of my requests in the future," Lu Xiang said. "Huh?" Chu Jinyan was confused. He hadn’t exactly wanted to be rescued... Later, Chu Jinyan patted his thigh and wagged his finger. "Come here, my beloved consort. You can hug my thighs." *** She's insidious and deceitful, while he's vile and shameless! Stranger A: Does that mean they're a match made in heaven? Stranger B: Yuck! That makes them a despicable couple!

He then challenged her, suggesting they touch each other... if she didn't let out a sound, she would win! And the loser would have to obey the winner's commands! Hmph, she's not scared at all...
