Chapter 1

In the eighth year of my marriage, I encountered my first love and asked my billionaire husband for a divorce.

With the 2 billion assets my ex-husband divided with me, I remarried for love, only to be taken abroad by that person and cruelly murdered, then he returned home to inherit everything I had.

On the seventh day after my death, my grave was desolate, with only my ex-husband bringing a bouquet of white roses.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day I met my first love.

“Madam, which outfit would you like to wear tonight, the Chanel-style suit or the Hermès silk dress? I’ll take it to be ironed.”

The voice of the housekeeper woke me from my slumber.

At this moment, I was lying on the sofa at home, covered with a light blanket that Yuan Chen had draped over me before he left.

Yuan Chen is my husband. We have been married for eight years, yet he remains as gentle and considerate as ever.

For eighteen years, he has worked tirelessly to expand the company, growing it to a market value of billions, enough to let me live a life of luxury for ten lifetimes.

When I go out, I have a dedicated driver with a Rolls-Royce Phantom. Every season, major luxury brands send new clothing and bags for me to choose from. When I don’t have time, there are two dedicated fitting personnel with similar body shapes to try on clothes for me.

Of the 12 rooms in the house, 4 are specifically for my personal items. Three Michelin chefs rotate to prepare meals for me, and six housekeepers along with one butler organize my daily life meticulously.

On my wrist, I wear an imperial green jade bracelet that Yuan Chen specially chose for my birthday yesterday, worth as much as a building.

I am frail and afraid of pain, so I don’t want to have children. Yuan Chen says being childfree is just fine, and he is very satisfied with our world of two.

Yet, despite being so well cared for, I am about to ask him for a divorce tomorrow.

Yes, about to, because I have been reborn.

In my previous life, my dedicated driver took a leave of absence on this day, and the butler temporarily hired a driver for me.

That evening, I was to accompany Yuan Chen to a charity gala, and this driver was responsible for taking me there.

This driver was my first love from high school.

Back then, I was young and beautiful, and he was cool and unique. I had been a good girl for 18 years, and unexpectedly yet inevitably, I was drawn to him.

Later, when my parents and teachers found out, they forcibly transferred me to another school, cutting off all contact.

Yuan Chen was the partner my father chose for me. He is wonderful, truly, but he cannot give me that thrilling feeling.

So, after an unexpected separation and a reunion after many years, like lightning striking the earth, at the age of 30, I decided to follow my heart for once.

After all, my parents are gone, and no one can stop me.

In the dim underground parking lot, in the back seat of the Phantom, I kissed him passionately, like lightning striking the earth. Ten minutes before the gala began, I tidied my clothes, went upstairs, and entered the venue arm in arm with Yuan Chen.

When we returned home, my mind was still filled with the slightly weathered figure that tugged at my heartstrings, so much so that when Yuan Chen wanted to be intimate with me, I pushed him away.

“Sorry, I’m not feeling well today.” I forced an explanation in the face of Yuan Chen’s somewhat surprised look.

Yet he remained as understanding as ever, gently massaging my abdomen with a voice that carried a unique tenderness, “Is it early this month? Then rest early. Tomorrow, I’ll take some time to bring you to see Dr. Ji.”

Dr. Ji is a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the country. Yuan Chen pays him an annual salary of three million to have him dedicate one day a week to my health.

But he never got to take me there.

Because the next day, I asked him for a divorce.
