Chapter 460: Chapter 464 Rebirth in the Apocalypse (1)

What does it feel like to marry someone you do not love and to be a perfect match for them?

I can tell you, it’s difficult to calm the heart.

Su Li looked at the grey-faced old man in front of her and tilted her head in bewilderment.

Besides looking unwell, the old man seemed to be living a good life overall.

Like a flower carefully tended to, showing no signs of having been weathered by the world.

But still, she seemed unhappy.

The other person didn’t seem to care about Su Li’s silence; she just wanted to vent the frustration in her heart.

"I can answer for my husband what it’s like to marry someone you do not love and to be an ideal match," she said, immersed in her own thoughts.

"It’s true, my husband does not love me, his love is reserved for someone else."

"I always thought I was living a blessed life, getting married right after college, having children a few years into marriage, everything went smoothly."

"Everyone said I was lucky, that I’d found a good husband, even my parents said I was very fortunate."

"A harmonious family, kind in-laws, a gentle husband, obedient children."

"I also thought I was very lucky, if only I hadn’t discovered the truth."

"It wasn’t until my children were in their teens that I accidentally found out that my husband, who had never strayed, had never loved me. All the perfect appearances were an act."

"Truthfully, the pain was only at the moment I learned the truth. Over the years, my feelings for him had turned into familial love."

"As long as he still cared about this family, I could pretend I didn’t know."

"But I never imagined, after a lifetime of companionship with him and our children, that his loved one’s mere words would lead to the death of my children."

As she spoke, bloody tears streamed from the old woman’s eyes.

"What’s even more disgusting is that this man was reincarnated; he had the chance to start over, the opportunity to keep his loved one in his arms, so why won’t he let me go?"

The old woman thrust a blindingly radiant golden light into Su Li’s arms, "I do not want such false charity; it only makes me sick."

------------

Su Li woke up in a spacious and bright room. As soon as she opened her eyes, there was a knock at the door.

"Miss, Mr. Qi is already waiting downstairs."

Su Li responded groggily, "Just say I’m not feeling well and ask Mr. Qi to go back first."

Without waiting to see how the person outside reacted, she got out of bed barefoot.

Standing in front of a full-length mirror, she saw a reflection with a gentle and delicate appearance.

She was very beautiful, without a hint of aggression, even frail-looking.

Just one look at her invoked an overwhelming desire to protect and cherish her.

Although Su Li had heard the original owner’s sorrowful tale in the Chaos, she could roughly guess the situation.

But after gaining the memories of the original owner’s two lives, all she could think was a big "Fuck."

The original owner, because she possessed Merit, was able to glimpse some truth during her second life.

The original owner’s husband, he was like those urban superpower protagonists who had been reincarnated.

In the past life, due to missing out on his first love, he married a woman he did not love.

Though they appeared harmonious and matched, their hearts were not at peace.

The one you can’t have is always the most restless; on the brink of old age, the world drastically changed, the entire planet faced unimaginable calamities.

At that time, the original owner’s husband encountered the first love he had never forgotten, and he chose to give his and his children’s chance of survival to his first love and her children.

Though guilty, he was relieved.

Their family died together, neatly and in order.

To die together neatly?

The original owner could not believe it; those safe house spots were secured by exhausting all her family’s energy, through immense effort.

What right did she have to give them away?

Had he asked his children if they wanted to die?

No, they wanted to live.

After the original owner’s husband sacrificed his family’s chance at life, he felt fulfilled; after opening his eyes again, he had not died but was alive once more.

Reborn in his twenties.

At this time, he and his first love had not yet broken up due to family opposition.

With the memories of his past life under his belt, the man’s methods were even more formidable, quickly consolidating the family’s power into his own hands.

He didn’t need to break up with his girlfriend.

But this time, he wanted to compensate his past life’s wife who he owed.

Although the original owner had a good impression of this man, she was not one to chase someone else’s boyfriend. Since he had a girlfriend, she would not entangle herself with him.

However, this husband from a past life, with compensation in mind, kept disrupting her chances at romance.

He said he treated her like a sister, but his actions treated her as his possession.

Moreover, this life, the man brought back a "Golden Finger," an Otherworld Trading System.

You could trade the gold and silver jewelry of this plane for items in the market of another dimension.

From daily necessities to weapons and firearms, as long as you paid enough, you could get what you wanted.

Especially Jade, which had even more value in that market.

And the original owner’s family was in the jade business.

Perhaps due to the butterfly effect, the apocalypse that was supposed to come in more than thirty years arrived early.

This Golden Finger provided the man with enormous help in recruiting talent, stabilizing his position, and becoming a ruler during a time of world transformation, extreme disasters, scarcity of materials, and vicious mutations of fauna and flora.

Watching the man gradually become an incredibly powerful figure, when he proposed that the original owner stay by his side as his woman, nobody could stop it.

The original owner did not want to, her family did not want to, but the man was unrelenting.

He said, if they were not together, how could his children from the previous life be born, and how could he compensate them?

At this time, in addition to the first love from his past life, the man had several other women by his side.

Some were opportunists who had attached themselves to him, some were sent over by other families, and some were pitiful ones he had taken in...

Even if the original owner was unwilling, for the sake of her family, she had to compromise.

Later, she had children, and the original owner resigned herself to her fate, but her children still died.

They died because of the schemes of the women around that man.

She was filled with hatred....

Su Li had just put on a dress when her bedroom door was pushed open from the outside.

"Xiao Li, where are you feeling unwell?"

A handsome man appeared at the doorway, his hand reaching out nonchalantly as if to pull Su Li toward him.
