G.V.STELLARIS
After criticizing the ending of a melodramatic novel, Thessa Hyde woke up to find herself as the pathetic stand-in wife of the city’s coldest tycoon: Edward Windsor.
For three years, she endured his snubs as her half-sister’s disposable replacement. Now that Lilith had returned from abroad, Edward threw the divorce agreement on the table:
“Sign it and get out. Don’t ever cross my path or Lilith’s again.”
In the original plot, Thessa begged on her knees until she was ruined.
But the new Thessa merely smiled as a blue screen flashed before her eyes:
[Ding! Ex-Husband’s Regret System activated.]
[Mission: Sign the divorce papers in under 60 seconds with complete detachment.]
[Reward: $10,000,000 in cash + corporate stock.]
[Passive Effect: Every time Edward Windsor feels jealousy or humiliation, your millions will multiply.]
Without a single tear, Thessa signed the papers, tossed the pen into her coffee, and walked away with her head held high.
The submissive woman never returned. In her place emerged a ruthless queen who buys skyscrapers outright, humiliates Lilith at every gala, and is seen in the company of the country’s most powerful men.
[System Alert: Edward Windsor’s Jealousy: 90%. Remorse: Critical.]
Soaked to the bone in the rain and kneeling in front of his limousine, the arrogant heir pleads in a broken voice:
“Thessa, please… call off the divorce. I’ll give you my entire empire if you’ll just look at me again.”
Thessa simply rolls down the tinted window and smiles:
“I’m sorry, Mr. Windsor. Your remorse is highly valued in my system, but as a man… you no longer have sufficient funds.”
