“She is just a temporarily useful wife.” As Scarlett Anderson woke up alone on the abortion operating table, the conversation between her husband Liam and his lover streamed through her earphones. Scarlett carried out the most meticulous verification of her life: her three-year marriage was a flawless fake. Her husband Liam Sterling, the leader of Silicon Valley’s security empire, had taught her every rule about control and tracking. Now, she was going to use those rules to vanish completely from the golden cage he had built for her. She took no jewelry with her—only two things: the secret evidence proving that the Sterling family had plundered artworks during World War II, and the backdoor program implanted in his global surveillance system. All she left behind was a single line: “Looking for me will be the nightmare of the rest of your life.” Liam mobilized all his resources to hunt down this “defecting wife”, only to find that every clue led to the family crimes he had strained to cover up. Meanwhile, she wandered like a ghost through the underground galleries of Paris and the auction houses of Zurich, turning their marriage into a public list of charges—every gift he had given her transformed into a blade pointed at his throat. This was a war trained by love. When the hunter becomes the hunted, who is the true prisoner?

In the extreme-cold apocalypse of New York, with supplies exhausted, Evelyn found Karen and Sky, only to discover the two lying on the bed in the apartment she had paid to rent — they had already stolen all her supplies and her space ring. Karen stated bluntly: “Everything that was yours is Sky’s now.” Evelyn was thrown outside and froze to death in the -50°C blizzard. Before she died, she swore a blood oath to take revenge. Evelyn jolted awake in her own apartment. Time had turned back to 90 days before the apocalypse. Her phone showed a normal New York date, and the ruby ring lay right beside her pillow. She activated the space by dripping blood onto it to recognize its master. Confirming her rebirth, she completely cut off all feelings for Karen. Revenge and hoarding supplies became her only goals.
