Chapter 1
Because of my overly sensitive body, I had to relieve myself every night.
After all, my husband and I were strangers bound by marriage-respectful, but distant.
Even in bed, he would restrain himself and ask, “May I?”
Sometimes, the formality bored me, so I’d politely interrupt, “Sorry, could you stop?”
Every time, he would apologize and withdraw immediately.
But after I died, I saw him lose his mind avenging me.
I watched him abandon his billion-dollar fortune and embrace my lifeless body as he took his own life.
With his last breath, he kissed my cold lips and whispered devoutly, “Emily, if there’s a next life… could you love me just once?”
The moment his eyes closed, I finally saw the depth of his love.
When I opened my eyes again, I had been reborn-back to the first year of my marriage to Lucas Black.
Overjoyed and tearful, I swore I would love him properly this time.
But he had changed.
This life, his gaze was icy, as if I were nothing to him.
In my past life, if I casually mentioned a limited-edition bag, it would appear before me the next day.
Now, he was infatuated with a KTV hostess, spending fortunes to buy her freedom.
He even strapped me to an electric shock bed and tortured me-just to amuse her.
A terrifying thought seized me, and my entire body trembled. “Lucas… did you also come back?”
He frowned. “What are you talking about? We’re just married for convenience. I simply don’t love you.”
The door slammed shut. I slid down the wall, tears flooding my face.
Don’t love me?
Impossible.
In our past life, he had adored me to madness-enough to trade his life for one chance at my love.
Heartbroken, I went to my parents. “I want a divorce from Lucas.”
