   "Reversed Maze" Post: My 18th birthday marks the start of my life's countdown—and my brother risks his life to carve a path to survival for me. Keywords: #BrotherlyHeartbreak #CountdownMaze #HumanityChoiceCriticalHit [Opening Critical Hit: Heartwarming Reunion × Death Countdown] "Little brother! You've grown taller." "Big brother, you've gotten a tan." Under the eaves of a hamburger shop, the orphan **Bai Ze** jumps onto his delivery brother **Bai Jue**'s electric scooter. Three years have passed since they last met. His brother has used his earnings to support his schooling and pay for his adoptive father's medical treatment, while he himself has gotten a "new tan." This reunion, which transcends hardship, should have been the warmest gift for Bai Ze's 18th birthday, until a scarlet number appears before his eyes: [23:59:59]. The life countdown suddenly begins, his brother's smile blurs in the neon lights, and the street scene distorts into the entrance to a giant maze. A chilling prompt exploded in his mind: "Survival or destruction, before the countdown reaches zero... Please choose." 🔥 [Dual-Line Kill: Mortal Body × Labyrinthine Deadly Trap] Bai Ze's Labyrinth of Despair Rules: The labyrinth hides "Three Paths and Six Positions" of divine fragments; collecting them all can pause the countdown. But each level directly attacks the weaknesses of human nature: betrayal by loved ones, memory alteration, self-annihilation... The brother's price: To buy time for Bai Ze, Bai Jue, in his mortal body, forced his way into the "Corridor of Sorrow." When the guardian beast tore apart his left arm, he actually laughed and shouted: "Don't worry! My right hand can still fry eggs for you!" Bai Jue's Abyss: Trading injury for life: Every time Bai Jue takes the labyrinth's punishment for his brother, his body "bestiates" a little more. As scales covered his spine, he shoved the dagger into Bai Ze's hand: "If I become a monster... You must kill me with your own hands to save me." The ultimate truth: Bai Ze gradually discovers that this labyrinth is actually a selection experiment by the gods for "sacrifices"—those willing to die for their loved ones are the true "keys." 🌑 [High-energy scenes: Gentle blades, each one piercing the heart] 1. The "Hamburger Promise" In the labyrinth, Bai Ze is dying, and in his hallucination, he returns to the hamburger shop where he reunited with his brother. He chokes and bites down on the air: "Brother... This hamburger is really awful." In reality, Bai Jue suddenly spits out a mouthful of black blood—he is sharing his five senses with his brother, taking on the excruciating pain. 2. "Frying an Egg with His Right Hand" Bai Jue, transformed into a beast with grotesque bone spurs on his right arm, clumsily grips a spatula with his monstrous claws, frying a charred egg: "Try, try... My new skill." Bai Ze swallows the egg, along with tears and the taste of blood: "Michelin... Three stars." 3. "The God-Slaying Gamble" Bai Ze tears apart the choice in the final maze: "I choose the third path—to dismantle your altar!" He uses the countdown as a bomb, grabbing the god and jumping into the temporal turbulence: "Brother, this time it's my turn to take you home!" 📖 Why does it leave you breathless? The paradox of "sacrifice": the more selfless the older brother, the more broken the younger brother; the more Bai Ze resists, the more endangered Bai Jue becomes—love becomes the most vicious knife. The maze reflects the human heart: each level mirrors real-world dilemmas: a wealthy man abandoning his foster father in a nursing home, a viewer driving a streamer to suicide for traffic... You see a mirror of humanity reflected in the book. Peng Pai's style of swordsmanship: Following "The Mysterious City of Beasts," the author once again creates a "gentle yet brutal" style—shards of glass wrapped in sugar, blood swallowed with a smile. 🔥 "People like us, just surviving is a struggle... But the gods insist that we choose how we die." Bai Jue's blood-stained hand covers his younger brother's eyes, bone spurs piercing his own palm. 🌠 "The Reversed Maze" Exclusively Serialized on Tomato Novels | Updated Daily at 9 PM 💔 Warm Reminder: Prepare tissues, this book is titled "Maze," but it's truly a heart-wrenching story.

50. 200 恶 Reborn After My Own Son, the Cruel Empress Dowager, Stabbed Me to Death 恶毒太后被亲儿子捅死之后重生了 Ink墨色Ancient Romance1.9M WordsCompleted The vicious Empress Dowager Jiang Mingzhu was reborn. In her previous life, to put her son on the throne, she poisoned and tried to assassinate the emperor, colluded with court officials, drugged a pregnant consort to make her miscarry, and plotted against the young crown prince.

But when the plot to put the son she'd worked so hard to support on the throne was exposed, he stabbed her in the back 19.6kReads8.9Score2.1k14d adds

    The first thing she did was rush over and stab her, her face full of resentment, saying, "Mother, why did you kill Wan'er? She was so kind, why did you force her to her death!" Jiang Mingzhu fell to the ground, blood staining her phoenix robe. She looked at her son, whom she had loved to the bone since childhood, in disbelief, her lips trembling as she tried to explain, but the blood gushing from her throat prevented her from speaking. Her daughter, Jiang Mingyu, the little princess who had once relied on her the most, stood aside, coldly watching her, her eyes devoid of any warmth. "Mother, you killed General Shen, he was the person I loved most, you ruined my life!" Jiang Mingyu stepped forward, pulled out a dagger, and stabbed her several more times, "You don't deserve to be our mother!"... The memory abruptly ended, and Jiang Mingzhu snapped back to reality, looking at the Empress crying her heart out, and the dying little prince in her arms. In her past life, the little prince had died on this very day. The Empress was devastated, and the Emperor had completely despised her because of it, believing her to be ruthless, not even sparing a child. But in reality, the young prince's death wasn't her doing at all! It was that vile woman Xie Wan who secretly tampered with things and framed her! Jiang Mingzhu clenched her fingers, her nails digging deep into her palms. Since Heaven had given her a second chance at life, she would never repeat the same mistakes! "Your Majesty!" Jiang Mingzhu stepped forward quickly, her voice steady and powerful, "Yi'er can still be saved!" The Empress looked up sharply, her eyes blurry with tears but filled with a glimmer of hope: "You... What did you say?" Jiang Mingzhu didn't waste any words and directly reached out to feel the young prince's pulse. As she had expected, he had been poisoned, but the poison hadn't fully invaded his heart yet. "Quick! Go get my medicine chest!" She ordered the palace maid sharply, then calmly said to the Empress, "Yi'er is poisoned, but there's still hope. Your Majesty, trust me this once!" Looking at Jiang Mingzhu's resolute eyes, the Empress, for some reason, felt a strange sense of trust and nodded tremblingly, "Okay... Okay! Quickly save him!" Jiang Mingzhu quickly administered acupuncture and simultaneously ordered someone to prepare an antidote. In her previous life, her medical skills were lacking, and she watched helplessly as the young prince died. But in this life, she was no longer the Jiang Mingzhu who only knew how to fight for power! Under the tense gaze of everyone, the young prince's pale face gradually regained color, and his breathing became steady. The Empress wept with joy, tightly embracing her child, "Yi'er! My Yi'er!" Jiang Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, but she knew that the real battle had just begun. Xie Wan, in this life, I will never let you have the chance to harm my child, to harm those around me! And those two ingrates... A cold glint flashed in Jiang Mingzhu's eyes. Since they don't acknowledge her as their mother, she will never give them a shred of sincerity in this life!
