Frozen Hearts, Hidden Lies

sarinavalentino7
Lina Chen wakes from a coma with her engagement ring, her ex-boyfriend's face in her mind, and no memory of the past two years. To her shock, a ring adorns her finger—not the one her ex gave her. A pair of twins call her "mama." And a devastatingly handsome CEO, Ethan Blackwood, claims to be her husband. She doesn't recognize any of them. Terrified and disoriented, Lina rejects this strange new life and returns to her family and her ex-boyfriend, Ryan—the man she believes she was about to marry. They welcome her with open arms. But something is wrong. Ryan is unusually close to her best friend, Chloe. Her parents dodge every question about Ethan. And no one can explain why she has a scar on her wrist or why she flinches at the sight of stairs. Then the memories begin to surface in fragments. A restraining order against Ryan. Chloe's hand on her back—pushing. A letter Lina wrote before the coma: "If I forget, find me. Don't give up." Lina secretly reconnects with Ethan and the twins. He doesn't pressure her to remember. He simply shows her evidence—videos, documents, a diary—that paints a horrifying picture: her coma wasn't an accident. Her memory loss was induced. And the people she trusts most are the ones who erased her. Now Lina must pretend she's still lost while piecing together the truth. Because the closer she gets to remembering, the closer someone gets to silencing her forever. She thought she woke to a nightmare. But the real nightmare is the life she's desperate to forget.

Naruto: The White Spider

A young 12-year-old boy is mysteriously reincarnated into the world of Naruto and arrives in the Hidden Leaf Village with the memories of his past life intact. But when he's only 8 years old in this new life, his parents, outsiders who had hoped for a peaceful life in the village, are tragically killed during a trip outside the hidden leaf's walls when their son is still young. Now left as an orphan, Shirokumo enters the Ninja Academy with little more than his wits and a strong determination to survive. To be quite frank, life in the academy is anything but easy. As an outsider, Shirokumo faces scorn and ridicule from both his peers and teachers who see him as nothing more than an unwanted orphan. Even worse, his lack of natural talent makes him seem destined to fail as a ninja. Who would care for someone like that? And to make matters even more dire, Shirokumo soon realizes the time period he's been born into: the Second Great Shinobi War is on the horizon, and he has all but four or so years to prepare for it. He realizes this because he's in the same class as a young Namikaze Minato, which means he's likely to be swept into the horrors of war at an age when he should be enjoying his childhood. No Talent No High-Standing Family Background No Cheat Skills No System How will Shirokumo survive all on his own in this cruel world of Shinobi? Read along to see him become the White Spider of the Leaf! (P.S. Weak-to-Strong MC and No Harem, I'll be taking my time with developing him so don't expect a character that is gonna be broken from the get go. This will be a slow burner, and if that doesn't strike your fancy you can move along to the next webnovel.)
