Sorry, but There's No Going Back
In the second year of their marriage, Angelica Thornton finds out that she's just a walking blood bank for others. Her husband, Elliot Quigley, has personally fed her steroids, forcing her weight to rise all the way to 160 pounds. This is all just so she can keep providing blood to his older stepsister-slash-first love, Rosie Morris. He even tells Angelica, "Who on earth would be turned on when they see a fat bitch like you?" But Elliot also kneels before Rosie's bed in the middle of the night, looking like a kicked puppy. "Rosie, I've never slept with Angelica before. Please don't abandon me…" Since then, Angelica's heart has been sealed from love. She decides to get a divorce and vows to shed those pounds. A long time after that, Angelica stands on the stage, looking absolutely divine. Her figure is now slim, yet she has curves in all the right places. Elliot's eyes go bloodshot out of regret. He kneels before her on a rainy night, crying, "Angie, you're the one I've always loved!" Suddenly, a hand shoots out from behind Angelica to lay claim on her slender waist. A pair of eyes can be seen glaring at Elliot coldly. Elliot is stunned, to say the least. "U-Uncle Dominic?" … Dominic Lawson has been emotionally impaired since birth. He himself has an antisocial son named Skye Lawson. Weirdly enough, Skye loves clinging to Angelica the most. Dominic thinks that Skye needs a mother in his life. But in the end, he's the one who has succumbed to Angelica's charms. In the middle of the night, as Dominic pulls Angelica into his arms, he murmurs huskily, "Angie, teach me how to… love."

I've just gotten married to Nathan Rodgers, a scion of Heidorot's elite, in the morning. But in the afternoon, he takes me to the courthouse for a divorce. As I clutch both the marriage and divorce certificates in my hands, all I can hear is his friends' relentless mocking. "Wow, Nathan! You actually married and divorced Caroline just because you wanted to cheer Eveline up!" "Haha! Look at how pale Caroline looks! Don't tell me she's about to cry!" Nathan wraps an arm around my adopted sister, Eveline Garrix. He says to her in a gentle tone, "Now that both certificates are here, are you willing to flash me a smile now?" Caroline let out a soft giggle. Her face, which is often fixed with a cold expression, now has a smile blooming on it. I want to demand answers, but I find myself being restrained by my brothers. Martin Bergling, my oldest brother who's a CEO, frowns at me. "Nathan is the only one who can make Caroline laugh. You'd better behave now." Oscar Bergling, my second brother, who's an award-winning actor, shoves me to the floor. "Eveline comes from a pitiful background. You, on the other hand, were born with a silver spoon—you have plenty of men to pick from other than Nathan." Albus Bergling, my third brother who's a biology professor, fixes a cold expression on his face. "Nathan should've married Eveline a long time ago. Stop bothering them already, Caroline!" After that, my brothers forcibly push them into a car in an attempt to stop me from ruining their first love's happiness. That's when the system, which has gone missing for a very long time, returns to me. "Host, it appears that you've accomplished your mission! Do you want to return to your world right now?" I sit in the back seat, looking out the window glumly. When I hear the system's voice, I almost break out into laughter. Finally, the angsty scene I've performed for the sake of my mission is over. From now on, I no longer give a damn about the stupid theatrics those idiots call their lives.
