About
In a courtroom filled with rage and betrayal, a man’s past haunts him like a relentless specter. Five years ago, on his wedding night, he chose silence over bravery, hiding while his wife was attacked. Now, the truth is poised to emerge, but at what cost? As the memory extraction machine whirs to life, he stands shackled, surrounded by cries of outrage and accusations that cut deeper than any blade.
What will happen when the memories of love and joy collide with the horror of that fateful night?

Tensions rise as old wounds are reopened, and the line between guilt and innocence blurs. Can he survive the wrath of a family he once considered his own, or will the truth shatter everything he holds dear? In a world where every memory counts, the past is a dangerous place to linger.
I Kept My Bride’s Secret, Only to Be Betrayed by My Brother-in-LawChapter 1
On our wedding night, my wife was attacked in the bedroom. She screamed my name for help until her voice went hoarse.
I stayed hidden in the study with the door locked, never showing myself. After the attacker left, my wife couldn’t accept what had happened. She jumped out of the window and lost consciousness.
Even when my in-laws knelt and begged me to tell the truth, I insisted I hadn’t seen the attacker and refused to help with the investigation.
Five years later, my brother-in-law used his connections to drag me into court, where memory-retrieval tech replayed the crime. When everyone saw the truth, they went crazy.
——
Five years after the “wedding night assault,” I was brought in as the only witness and a suspect and the police interrogated me publicly.
Technicians would use the latest memory-retrieval tech to pull my memories and show them as images on a big screen, recreating the crime scene exactly.
To see the truth, tens of thousands of people crowded around the trial and the livestream drew an unprecedented 200 million viewers.
