Chapter 1

"Congratulations, Lucy! After trying for so long, you're finally pregnant! Your brother's here to see you, so you can go tell him the good news!"When I heard the doctor's words, I finally realized that I'd been reborn.Trembling, I caressed my stomach, and that familiar voice rang in my ear again:"Don't meet Uncle Jerry, Mom! Aunt May's pregnant too, and Uncle Jerry is worried that you'd stop helping them once I'm born. He'll force you to abort me!"I acted like I couldn't hear anything, turning to the doctor and saying, "Tell him to come in!"Last time, I'd refused Jerry at the door because I trusted the voice I heard. In the end, my brother, who had been targeted by dangerous thugs, never got the chance to seek help from my husband who was in the military, and he ended up being murdered and mauled beyond recognition.My sister-in-law, May, clung to his corpse, crying hysterically as she accused me of being his killer.I was consumed by guilt and despair.It was Ben, my hus

Chapter 2

My brother came to my hospital room and smiled after hearing the news of my pregnancy."Congratulations, sis! You're finally pregnant!"But still, I could see the reluctance behind his smile. I immediately grabbed his hand and asked, "What's wrong, Jerry?"Under my repeated questioning, he finally told me the truth, "I stood up to a bunch of local thugs a little while ago, and they threatened to hurt May… I thought that Ben's a military man, so he'd probably have some way to help…"Thinking about how terribly my brother died in the past, I wanted nothing more than to tear those criminals apart, but I couldn't do anything."Ben's out on an emergency mission, so he won't be able to return by today…"I saw a flicker of guilt flash in my brother's eyes and realized that he was worried about causing me trouble. Before he could speak, I said, "I'll go get a few guards to send you home, alright? That should be enough to ward them off."Once Ben comes home, I'll tell them to deal with t

Chapter 3

I returned his smile, feeling a wave of relief inside.As expected, trusting my husband had been the right choice.This time, he hadn't been demoted. We should be able to live peacefully together. As long as we didn't divorce, he would never end up with someone else.So when I found a package addressed to May in the mailbox the next day, the baby's voice immediately chimed in again.[Mommy, this is proof that Dad and Aunt May are cheating on you! Look!]Without the slightest hesitation, I handed the package directly to May.I thought I had successfully avoided another disaster, but just as I stepped outside for a walk, her room exploded with a deafening blast!I fell to the ground, staring blankly as the house was swallowed by flames.Where did a bomb come from? Nothing even remotely similar to this happened in my past life!Ben rushed back as soon as he heard the news, and when I instinctively reached out, hoping for comfort, he pushed me away."Lucy, as the family of a mili

Chapter 4

The horrific memories of my previous life came flooding back, making my body tremble uncontrollably.Ben pulled me into his arms and apologized over and over again. "I'm sorry Lucy, but this is the only way! I only need one month, I promise. Once I compensate her enough, we'll get remarried immediately!"Looking into his earnest eyes, the anxiety in my heart gradually eased.That's right. This time, I wasn't being thrown out for what I did wrong, but doing something to save him instead. He wouldn't abandon me…For the sake of Ben's future, we finalized our divorce.To reassure me, he even told everyone around him that it was only a temporary arrangement, and that it was a fake divorce.Just as he had predicted, the woman's family gradually stopped causing trouble.The last of my doubts finally disappeared.Stewing in my anxieties, I finally waited until the day we planned to remarry. Yet, after waiting until the sun went down, Ben never appeared!My nails dug into my palms as

Chapter 5

From the stage, Ben spotted me from afar, his eyes filled with disgust. "Why are you here? I'm marrying my wife today, so can a woman like you, who abandoned me, not cause trouble?"He branded me as a completely unrelated stranger that's crashing his wedding, but I knew that the real impostor was standing right next to him!"Aren't you leaving? The military compound isn't just some place you can barge in with abandon! If you don't leave, I'll have the right to use violence, so leave!" He ordered impatiently."Let's go, Mom. It sucks being treated like this by Dad, and I can't even take seeing it anymore! Let's go, you two don't have a future together!"I was reactionless, only standing there unmoving in the middle of the hall.Seeing this, Ben ordered the people next to him to throw me stacks of cash from the pile of wedding gifts on the table."You want money, right? Well, I've seen people like you in spades, so take this money and get out!"I looked at the pile of cash on the

Chapter 6

The guests craned their necks to get a better look, and while the woman instinctively raised a hand to cover her neck, it was already too late. Everyone had seen it.Realizing the truth could no longer be hidden, she dropped the act altogether and glared at me viciously. "Yeah, I'm May! So what?!""What's going on here?" The guests were all shocked.May pointed at me and accused, "A month ago, after all the chaos, you were heartlessly afraid of getting caught up in Ben's troubles, so you abandoned him!"You deserted your husband and child. What was I supposed to do? If I hadn't stepped in, how was he supposed to explain showing up alone at today's wedding?""Oh, so that's what happened!" The guests under the stage exclaimed.In response to her baseless accusations, I laughed out of anger. "You worked together with my husband to make me believe that you were dead and changed your appearance to look like someone else. I was wondering why I had to wait for a month, and it was so tha

Chapter 7

"You used my guilt to make me believe that my brother died in such a horrible way because of me. "You comforted me at exactly the correct timing, using it as a chance to conveniently bring May into our home without inviting any suspicion."Finally, with May's help, you orchestrated that whole act of her dying to erase her existence itself from the world, before disguising her as an innocent woman you saved during a mission!""How much longer are you going to spout all that nonsense? It's about time to end this farce!" Ben shouted, cutting me off. "I'm in the middle of getting married, so stop acting crazy! Can't we part ways peacefully?"Come on, someone remove this madwoman from here immediately! She's already caused enough of a disruption to our ceremony today!"And so, I was kicked out.At that moment, the voice rang in my head again:"I can't bear to see you being humiliated like this, Mom! If you don't want to live, let's die together…"Why did the ending not change in th

Chapter 8

Hidden inside the pocket watch was something of great importance to the military, but my parents never told me what exactly was inside."Lucy, what's inside may cause you harm. It's better that you don't know."When my father handed the pocket watch to me, he also pulled Ben aside. "But I have to tell you what's inside, Ben, because you're a military man. Only then will you know its importance, and will be able to protect it and my darling daughter.""I will, Father!" Ben accepted the pocket watch with both hands, standing straight as a rod.Yet, in the present, the very same man who swore to protect me wanted me dead."Since you know what it is, hand it over. If you do, I'll still let you leave. Otherwise, you'll be sorry for what happens next!" He glared at me as he demanded I hand him the pocket watch."What if I don't?" I gripped the pocket watch tightly in my hands."Then I'll report you for attempting to steal military secrets! We're at the military compound, so there's no

Chapter 9

"I'll use your identity to sell information to the enemy! When that happens, I'll have it all, while you take the fall!""You heartless scum. That uniform is disgraced just by being worn by someone like you!"Ben's voice grew weaker and weaker, but the other man continued laughing. "I'm not a soldier anyway, so what does that matter? All I need to do is sell a teeny, tiny secret, and I get to profit!"I have you to thank for it, so I'll use your face and live a good life, don't worry!"With those vicious words, the spy dealt the final blow.Ben's voice was filled with pain, but even in his final moments, he remembered to activate the recorder. He believed that one day I would discover the truth, clear his name, and allow him to rest in peace.I fought back my tears and let the recording play to the end.The recording stopped, and silence filled the room. Then someone from the military reacted quickly and pointed at the man posing as Ben."He's a spy! Get him!"And so, the wedd
