Synopsis

In the heart-wrenching tale "After Nine Lives," Vanya's existence is a never-ending cycle of birth, suffering, and rebirth. Born as the illegitimate child of a mistress, Vanya's life is forever marred by the cruel fate that awaits her. Orphaned at a tender age, Vanya is forced into a loveless engagement with a wealthy and ruthless man. Desperate to escape the shackles of this arranged marriage, Vanya flees to marry the love of her life. For a brief moment, she tastes happiness, but it's short-lived. Her husband's brutal nature is revealed, and Vanya's life becomes a living hell. Her grandmother's tragic death at his hands, coupled with her stepsister's cruel betrayal, leaves Vanya shattered. The memories of her husband's sadistic smile and her stepsister's smug face are forever etched in her mind. Yet, fate grants Vanya a second chance. She's reborn, determined to alter her destiny and find true love. But with each new life, Vanya faces insurmountable hurdles. She's met with rejection, heartbreak, and loss at every turn. Her quest for happiness seems forever elusive. However, a glimmer of hope appears in each life. Vanya meets a man who bears an uncanny resemblance to her true love from her second life. The same piercing eyes, the same bright smile, and the same kind heart. It's as if fate is giving her another chance to rekindle the love they shared. The vows they exchanged in a past life – to be together for seven lifetimes – now seem like a beacon of hope. Vanya begins to realize that she's been given multiple chances to relive their love story, to correct the mistakes of the past, and to create a new destiny. As Vanya navigates her ninth and final life, she must confront the darkness of her past and the evil that has haunted her for so long. She must also face the ultimate question: will she finally find redemption and true love, or will she remain forever trapped in this vicious cycle of birth, death, and rebirth? Will Vanya be able to break the curse and find happiness with her soulmate, or will fate have other plans for her? Dive into the world of "After Nine Lives" to find out.

Chapter 1first life...

The air was heavy with the stench of decay and desperation. A faint light flickered, casting eerie shadows on the walls. In the center of the room, a young woman sat tied to a chair, her battered body a testament to the unspeakable horrors she had endured.

Her once-beautiful face was now a canvas of bruises, her eyes sunken, and her skin sallow. Her clothes, tattered and shredded, hung limply from her frail frame, offering little protection from the cold, unforgiving gaze of her tormentors.

A man, his face twisted in a cruel smile, stood before her, his eyes gleaming with sadistic pleasure. By his side, a woman with an uncanny resemblance to the captive girl sneered, her eyes flashing with malice.

The man's voice dripped with venom as he taunted the girl, his words cutting deeper than any physical wound. "You're nothing but a useless, pathetic creature," he spat, his eyes roving over her battered body. "No one wants you. No one loves you. You're just a disposable plaything, a toy to be used and discarded."

The woman beside him chuckled, a cold, mirthless sound, as she reached out to stroke the man's face. Her eyes never left the captive girl, her gaze filled with a hatred that seemed to burn brighter with every passing moment.

As the man and woman began to kiss, their lips locked in a passionate, yet twisted, embrace, the girl's tears fell, her body shaking with sobs. She was forced to watch, her eyes pinned on the couple as they continued their sickening display, their actions a cruel mockery of the love and tenderness she had once known.

The woman's eyes sparkled with malevolence as she turned to the captive girl, her hand reaching out to deliver a stinging slap. "You're just a shadow of me," she sneered, her voice dripping with contempt. "A weak, pathetic imitation. You'll never be me. You'll never be loved."

As the woman's words cut deep, the girl's head fell, her body wracked with sobs. The man and woman laughed, their cruel voices echoing through the darkness, as they continued to torment their captive, their actions a twisted dance of hate and sadism.

But even in the depths of her despair, the girl's spirit refused to be extinguished. A spark of defiance flickered to life within her, a flame that would one day burn bright enough to illuminate the darkness and guide her towards redemption.

The other woman's smile grew wider as she called the battered lady "sister" and gestured to a fragile-looking child standing beside her. The child's eyes were wide with fear, and the battered lady's expression changed from despair to shock.

"Baby!" the battered lady exclaimed, trying to reach out to the child despite her restraints. "Oh, baby, I'm so sorry! What are you doing here?"

The other woman's smirk grew even wider as she roughly pushed the child to the ground. The child cried out in pain and fear, and the battered lady's eyes filled with tears.

"How could you?" the battered lady yelled at the man, her voice hoarse from screaming. "You're a coward, allowing your own daughter to be hurt like this! What kind of monster are you?"

The man's smirk never wavered. "You're one to talk, aren't you?" he sneered. "You're nothing but a weak, pathetic creature. You'll never be able to protect anyone, least of all yourself. You're just a disposable plaything, a toy to be used and discarded."

The battered lady's eyes blazed with anger. "You'll pay for this," she spat. "You'll pay for every hurt, every pain, every tear you've caused me and my child. Mark my words, you'll reap what you've sown."

The man laughed, a cold, mirthless sound. "I'm shaking in my boots," he said. "You're nothing but a powerless, helpless little girl. You'll never be able to hurt me. I'll always be one step ahead of you."

The battered lady's eyes never left the man's face. "We'll see about that," she said, her voice low and deadly. "We'll see about that."

As the man smirked, he held his lady close, pouring a flammable substance all over the battered woman. The air was heavy with the stench of gasoline, and the woman's eyes widened in terror as she realized her fate.

"No, please!" she begged, her voice hoarse from shouting. "Don't do this! Think of our child!"

The man's smile grew wider. "You're nothing but a disposable plaything," he sneered. "You're not worthy of being a mother. And as for our child... she's better off without you."

With a cruel laugh, the man lit a match, and the room erupted into flames. The woman screamed, her voice hoarse from shouting, as the man and his lady fled the burning building.

The woman's vision began to blur, the smoke and flames choking the life out of her. Just as all hope seemed lost, a figure burst into the room, coughing and covering his mouth.

"Hello?" the stranger called out, his voice hoarse from the smoke. "Is anyone here?"

Devilish secretary

After centuries of ruling the underworld with terrifying power, Lilith dies in an epic battle, only to be reborn in the human world. But instead of a grand rebirth as a queen of darkness, she's reincarnated as something far more mundane—a secretary. Rather than despair, Lilith finds this new life amusing. After all, who would suspect the devil herself to be working a 9-to-5? Settling into her new reality, Lilith embraces her role, living in a luxurious apartment and working diligently in her office. Though her devilish instincts are hard to suppress, she's determined to be the perfect secretary. But when people push her too far, the devil within still comes out to play. When a creep in the office dares to look at her the wrong way, she calmly fixes her gaze on him. "You keep staring like that, and I'll show you what a broken wrist feels like." The man quickly scurries away, leaving Lilith with a satisfied smirk. Even the rich, entitled girl from accounting isn't safe from her wrath. "You think you can push me around just because you've got money? I've burned entire kingdoms for less. Don't test me." She says this with a calm smile, her eyes glinting dangerously. The day continued like that—stopping creeps in their tracks, putting rude heiresses in their place, and being the flawless secretary she intended to be. But, of course, her boss—the CEO—had his eyes on her, more curious than ever. And while the entire office might fear her or wonder about her, she remained blissfully indifferent. This was fun. And she wasn't here to impress anyone but herself. Who knew being a secretary could be so... interesting?
