The man I loved fell in love with someone else while trying to bring me back to life. Chapter 1

The man I loved fell in love with someone else while trying to bring me back to life.

When I woke up, Ethan asked me what I wanted. I was about to say I wanted to finish our wedding, but then, lines of text flooded my vision.

*“Omg the male lead is so devoted, he’s a literal god but he still hasn’t forgotten about resurrecting his mortal side-character ex.”*

*“The side character is so shameless. She just got brought back to life and she’s already demanding a title? Our girl has been with him through thick and thin for a million years!”*

*“Whatever, she’ll just get taken back to the heavens, act like a brat, and get ignored. That’s when the male lead will finally realize our girl is his one true love!”*

I thought for a moment, then replied, “I want a divorce.”

* * *

Ethan froze. He looked almost exactly as he had the day I died, only even more handsome, more ethereal. “Rose, are you joking?” he asked, his voice cracking with disbelief.

*“The competitive female side character wants a divorce? That makes no sense!”*

*“This old hag is definitely just threatening him to get what she wants. So pathetic! Why would the author write such a trashy character?”*

*“Just wait, our girl is about to show up with their kid. Let’s see how this plays out for the side character!”*

The words scrolling through my mind were vile. Apparently, I was seeing the live comments from a webnovel called *The CEO’s Rebellious Darling: Heaven’s Emperor, Please Be Gentle.* Ethan was the male lead, a talented but aloof and arrogant prodigy. I was the “white moonlight” ex-wife he was trying to save, the one who had died protecting him from a divine trial. To bring me back, he had embarked on a cultivation journey with the female lead, a half-demon, half-immortal named Lily.

They were a classic enemies-to-lovers pair, supporting and growing with each other over nearly a million years. Lily confessed her love for him multiple times, but Ethan, with me still in his heart, always refused her. Until, during a particularly difficult trial, he couldn’t break through his cultivation bottleneck. So he slept with her. She got pregnant. Twice. Their first was a daughter. Now she was pregnant with their son.

And me? After being resurrected, my personality would supposedly take a dark turn. I would become jealous and petty, constantly fighting with Lily in the celestial court. I would even frame her for things, causing her to have a miscarriage. Ethan would come to despise me, and the next time I acted out, he would destroy me with a single blast of divine energy. My soul, scattered to the winds.

What a joke.
