Summary
I am the legendary Big Female Lead.
When I caught my husband and my best friend in the act of cheating, I neither cried nor made a scene. I simply tossed out a calm remark:
“This man is yours now.”
All my friends praised me for my dignity, for being able to let go, saying I was the Big Female Lead from a feel-good novel come to life.
But things didn’t unfold like a feel-good story.
After a wave of public scrutiny, the two of them simply got married. The next year, my former best friend gave birth to Dragon and Phoenix Twins, and my ex-husband’s business took off, making them the envy of everyone-a picture-perfect happy family.
As for me, not long after the divorce, I was overwhelmed by a backlash of emotions, consumed by trauma and humiliation, and my belief in justice collapsed. My career and love life both fell apart, and my life hit rock bottom.
For a long time, I drifted through life in a daze, until one day I was hit by a car while crossing the street.
On my deathbed, my former best friend came to see me, her expression both pitying and wistful:
“I know you always prided yourself on being the Big Female Lead, so I deliberately arranged for you to catch us that day…”
I died filled with regret and unwillingness.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the scene of the affair.
