Being known as a demoness, the angel of death's best friend, and many other cursed titles for the heiress of a gangster group seems like commonplace. But no one knows that Maia has one small, ridiculous ambition. She wants to have a simple life with her beloved husband and children if God gives her a second life. Maia assumes God is bored with granting her final wish before dying in a clan war. She wakes up in the body of another woman, a popular celebrity who died regretfully after getting married. Can Maia, the cursed woman, succeed in playing her role as a good wife and mother in place of the celebrity?

Chapter 1

Alive Again

‘The winner of this year’s Most Popular Artist Award goes to…’ the host on stage began to bring everyone’s attention, making him even more focused.

The faces of the nominees, all of whom were top-tier, widely admired artists, looked tense. Of course, each of them was eager to receive the pure-gold trophy as the most popular artist in MineTown this year.

‘The winner is… Ruby Moon!’

As the winner was announced, victory music blared from the stage, accompanied by thunderous applause and cheers of congratulations for the angel-like woman in the white dress who was currently the center of attention.

Ruby Moon, a female artist sitting in the back row, covered her lips in shock. Her heart was pounding uncontrollably, as if it were accompanying the tears that coated her brown pupils.

Ruby looked around before walking, nodding respectfully to her seniors in the entertainment line. Her smile grew even brighter as she looked at the large screen displaying a list of films and commercials she had starred in.

"Congratulations, Miss Ruby,” the host congratulated, along with the awarding of the gold trophy that all the artists there desired.

“Thank you…” Ruby replied kindly, and a moment later, the applause grew louder as her trophy was raised high with great pride.

"With all due respect, I would like to express my gratitude to the seniors who have been nominated. You are all amazing. I am honored to be among my most amazing idols.“

“I am truly grateful to God for this opportunity. I also want to express my deepest gratitude to those who have supported and believed in me."

The audience, most of whom were well-known artists, continued to smile at Ruby, even though most of them were seniors, as Ruby had said, but they accepted the defeat of the newcomer without being discouraged.

That's because Ruby, the young actress who rose to fame with her debut film, is humble and talented. She's even starred in numerous commercials and several films by up-and-coming directors for low fees.

But who would have thought her role as a dumped wife would be a success and break into the mainstream?

"And finally, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my dad, who is currently in the hospital. I know he is watching me tonight from there."

“Dad, thank you for your life and the valuable lessons you taught me. This award is for you, Dad. I love you, Dad…”

Ruby once again received thunderous applause and cheers of joy with pride. More than anyone, she hoped that this kind of winning momentum would continue to be felt every year in her illustrious career.

But it turns out that the award was the only one she received before her life was shattered in one fateful night, leading to regrets that continue to this day. It's a beautiful yet bittersweet memory for her.

.

.

.

“Dad, I miss you. Please forgive your foolish daughter,” she said softly to the photo frame in her hand. Memories of that award moment five years ago filled her with guilt once again. It felt like her tears had been wasted during those five dark years.

Like eating her own feces, Ruby knows best what regret feels like.

Five years ago, after the awards ceremony, the producers and crew invited her to celebrate their victory. Ruby initially declined, remembering that her father needed company in the hospital.

However, the euphoria of victory led her to become so intoxicated that she became drunk.

That morning, the feeling was almost like standing on a frozen lake, and if she stepped on it, the surface would shatter, and she would sink.

How could she not feel that way when she woke up and realized she was in the arms of the CEO and successful billionaire of MineTown? And when she opened her phone, the devastating news from the hospital sent her spiraling into despair.

Before the father's grave was dry, a month later, she was found pregnant, and it was confirmed to be the CEO's child. In a hasty decision, the two entered into a conditional marriage for the common good.

However, even after five years of marriage, the relationship was like a hellish rope that seemed to continue to drag her to death. Her career as an artist was ruined, and she ended up confined to her home.

Instead of being a good mother and wife to the O'Neil family, Ruby sank further, feeling like a failure as a daughter and a human being.

Since giving birth to her son, and even through their five-year marriage, Ruby had done the foolish thing dozens of times, taking overdoses of sleeping pills, hoping to find peace when her eyes closed.

But her fate hadn't allowed her to die yet.

“I’ve been holding on for five years, but why can’t I get up and keep feeling like a dumb, Dad?” she said softly, glancing at the bottle of sleeping pills in her other hand. “I’m tired, Dad,” she continued, then put down her father’s photo frame.

Ruby uncapped the bottle and poured a random sleeping pill into her palm. Then, like someone possessed by a demon, she swallowed the dozens of pills in her hand while crying.

“Juan, Leo, I’m sorry…”

Life felt so hard and painful for her that she kept doing such foolish things, leaving her body weak and vulnerable to illness. Instead of dying, she herself didn't know why God hadn't taken her life.

However, tonight felt different. As the minutes passed, her chest ached and tightened, her heart pounded furiously and hotly, and her stomach reacted violently and painfully, making her feel like death was imminent. In reality, death wasn't as pleasant as she'd always imagined. It was excruciatingly painful.

Ruby suffered a seizure, foaming at the mouth, before finally losing consciousness. What should have been a perfect life felt miserable instead.

***

Dawn broke, and the woman began to regain consciousness when another woman's voice called the name of someone she seemed to have heard before.

"Mrs. Ruby, wake up. You must get ready soon," the voice rang out again, but Ruby's eyes wouldn't open. Her heart still ached, and her head was spinning.

“Mrs. Ruby, please wake up, or you will be in trouble because Mr.Juan is angry again.” The call was heard again, and because Ruby didn't feel like it was her who was being called, she continued to ignore the voice.

‘Who is Mrs. Ruby? Who is Mr. Juan? Who dares to scold me? Do you know who I am?’ she laughed inwardly at the woman's voice she had been hearing all this time.

However, Ruby's calmness, with her eyes closed, was disturbed when the woman beside her touched her and gently shook her.

"Mrs. Ruby, wake up. Mr. Juan will be home soon, and you still haven't cleaned up. I'll clean up this mess too," the woman's voice sounded more urgent this time.

Ruby, starting to feel strange, tried to open her eyes. Slowly, light began to appear, though faintly.

‘Where am I? Why am I here?’

Ruby muttered in surprise as her vision began to clear, and she saw the ceiling of the room she was in, different from her last memory of being in an old, rusty warehouse.

The room, filled with bright white and golden hues, was a feast for the eyes. She had rarely seen such a sparkling atmosphere before. It was like a princess's room.

"Mrs. Ruby, can you hear me? You're awake, right? Then come with me. I've prepared warm water for your bath, huh. Let me help you so it's quicker," the woman who had been calling out to her immediately made Ruby's lazy eyes flutter open.

She no longer explored the beautiful room she was in but instead turned to the woman standing nearby.

“You want to bathe me?!” A spontaneous sentence came out of Ruby’s lips along with her body’s reflexive movement of sitting up in shock.

'What's going on?'

.

.

.

"May you be destined to be a creature worse than a disgusting animal in your next life, as a consequence of your present life. Die in agony!"

Those were Maia's final words to her enemy, who appeared to be dying in excruciating pain. The previous barrage of gunfire had clearly acted as the Angel of Death for the pitiful man.

Maia left the man who was almost a corpse and rushed to carry Mike to her feet.

“Mike, are you okay?” Rose asked her confidant, who had accompanied her for the past ten years.

"Thank you, Boss. Because of you, I'm still breathing," Mike said gratefully, accompanied by a light laugh.

“You underestimate me too much. Get up, let’s go home now!” Maia replied, reaching out to pull Mike off the ground.

However, when she looked back, she saw that the enemy wasn't completely dead. The man seemed to be struggling to aim his gun at Maia's back, as her back was facing away from him.

'Boss, watch out!' Mike shouted, making both of them turn around, facing the enemy.

However, it was too late. The enemy bullet had already pierced Maia's chest, sending the gangster boss falling backward, but Mike caught her.

I'm Ready
"Boss!" Mike shouted immediately. The man, about Maia's age, was furious and immediately aimed the tip of his gun directly at the enemy's forehead.‘Argh!’ Mike shouted in uncontrollable anger, shooting the enemy’s head indiscriminately until it was no longer intact.Until his gun could no longer fire bullets, Mike lowered his hands, moving to support Maia's weak, helpless body.“Boss, wake up. Open your eyes! Look at me, Boss!” Mike tried to wake Maia, who was almost asleep."Don't keep shouting. You're making me deaf," Maia replied softly and choked. However, her smile remained even though her lips were bleeding profusely.Shele still managed to smile at Mike, who was devastated to see her like that. Before the last sentence, she escaped with difficulty.“Thank you for taking care of me until now, Mike. Goodbye…”That was the last sentence that Maia uttered as her body, which had been stretched, no longer showed any movement, as her last breath left her body, bringing the story of th

Different Path
She looked in the mirror, stretched her body, and smiled broadly. “It turns out you are very beautiful… Even though you are not as beautiful as me, this is also okay,” she continued praising her while holding her face, “But now it is all mine, so still leave Ruby’s old style and become Maia’s cool style.” Ruby began to dress up, coloring her face and styling her hair in a new style, far from the one her body owner usually showed her at home. The very definition of waking from the dead, Ruby's appearance now was one of bold, bold beauty. "Everything is perfect, Ruby. Beautiful face, popularity, perfect husband, and son. Maybe this accident of yours is a blessing for me.” "I don't have to struggle to climb my career, find the love of a rich man, or give birth to a child. Everything is complete, I just have to fix the hole you always dig and cover it with good things." Ruby smiled meaningfully at her new appearance. Along with fragments of the body owner's past, they surfaced automa

Guessing Ruby's Killer
Maia used Ruby's lips to complain to herself. Everything about Ruby was complete, and Maia could feel it, undeniably. Her head ached from thinking about everything, and perhaps also from the effects of the sleeping pills the body's owner had taken before she died. Maia chose to close her eyes to ease the pain. However, after only a few minutes of closing her eyes, her ears were so alert to hear the sound of someone's presence nearby. With her eyes closed, Maia swiftly grabbed the man's arm, only to open them. She saw a pair of beautiful brown eyes staring back at her. 'Juan O'Neil?' Ruby's memory automatically explained the man currently staring intently at her. Juan O'Neil was Ruby Moon's husband. He was the CEO of MineTown City's largest talent agency—The Galaxy. Ruby Moon's artistic career was also under the auspices of one of the major agencies, The Galaxy. 'He's handsome and rich. He also never fails to fulfill his duties as a good husband to Ruby. But this?' 'He's differe

Impossible That's Her
“But it seems like the person in black is taller than Madam Brenda. This old woman even walks with a half-hunchback.” "I don't think so. But I'll still blacklist her. Then, there's Tamara and Rose. Hmm, wait. I'll think about it." While biting the pen cap, swinging the pen, and trying to remember everything, Maia seemed to be thinking about the history lesson on the construction of the complicated land of MineTown. "Tamara Bless. Ruby remembers this name as one of Juan's childhood friends. However, it seems the woman has stopped showing up in Ruby's presence after the wedding.” "Juan made their relationship clear to Tamara to avoid trouble for Ruby within the O'Neil family." "Hmm, Juan is a hot guy. He's so considerate of his wife's feelings, even though she doesn't love him at all. Okay, even if this woman isn't enough to make me suspicious, I'll still consider her.” “Next… Rose White, this woman is very suspicious,” she muttered as she digested the fragments of Ruby’s memories

I was so panicked after hearing about you!”"Your face is so pale. What happened to you? Please tell me!" She pressed her with many questions.Meanwhile, Maia was still intensely looking at the woman near her at that moment through the fragments of Ruby's memories.“Hmm, Rose…” Maia said softly.The woman nodded and hugged Maia, "You know, I got into the car straight after shooting. I was afraid something would happen to you. Tell me, what else is this?"Maia took a deep breath, then turned to Mariana, “You can go out first, Maria

Weren't you the one who wanted a divorce from me all this time? But what is this?"
