During an avalanche on an Antarctic expedition, my fiancé Jaxon didn't hesitate to save his true love Melody.
But it was expedition leader Garrison who risked his life to protect me as I was about to plummet into an ice crevasse.
Later, when Jaxon abandoned me at our wedding, Garrison got down on one knee and proposed to me.
After we married, he treated me well and our life seemed blissfully happy.
Little did I know, in our second year of marriage, he was suddenly diagnosed with liver cancer.
To save him, I didn't hesitate to donate two-thirds of my own liver.
But at his hospital bedside, I overheard his brother asking him in French:
"If Meadow finds out you faked liver cancer to save her, aren't you afraid she'll leave you with nothing?"
Garrison tenderly held my hand, but his words made my heart freeze.
"The marriage certificate is fake, but I do feel bad for her. I'll make it up to her properly."
I thought after a lifetime of loneliness, I'd finally found true love.
Little did I know, it was all an elaborate deception he had carefully woven.

Trapped in His Web of Love and Lies

On the day I set out for the cave, I went to pay respects to my mother.


After gently caressing her photograph, I spoke softly to her.


"Mom, your daughter has been trapped in matters of love for half her life. Now, I only wish to follow in your footsteps and dedicate myself to the nation's scientific expedition efforts. I think you would support me, wouldn't you?"


As I finished speaking, a breeze caressed my cheek - this must have been Mom's answer.


Fully equipped, I followed Dean Everhart to the cave entrance.


The moment I saw its location, I couldn't help but marvel at the peculiarity of fate.


It was precisely where we had encountered the avalanche before.


Standing above the cave and peering inside, I could faintly make out some images on the walls.


Dean Everhart secured the ropes and instructed me to descend along them.


It was a long way down before my feet touched solid ground.
