Chapter 1

The five poorest years of Liam Thorne’s youth, I spent with him, living in a cramped basement apartment.

He earned his first thirty million, but I died of illness.

Later, on the day he became the wealthiest man in Northwood City.

I was reborn.

After being a stubborn holdout in The Limbo Realm for two years.

The Warden of Souls got tired of me and offered me a chance to fulfill my last wish.

He allowed me to return to the human world.

When I opened my eyes again, I was standing in a bustling subway station.

Giant billboards and electronic screens throughout the station were plastered with advertisements for Thorne Industries.

I lifted my hand, gently caressing the familiar face on the screen, and couldn't stop the tears from flowing down my cheeks.

A few teen girls, holding up their phones, were taking photos of him from every angle. One long-haired girl, completely smitten, gushed, "Liam Thorne's ad this time is just *too* hot! He absolutely blew all the other young stars and celebrities out of the water! No wonder his company always has the CEO himself star in the ads. With looks like that, it'd be a crime not to!"

"High IQ, elite education, ridiculously handsome, and not a single scandal? He's literally my dream husband material~"

"Dream on! Can you believe this top-tier, high-quality guy is only 25? Oh my god!"

The short-haired girl taking photos pouted, "Too bad he's already married, and married young at that."

The long-haired girl shrugged, "You mean his short-lived wife? She's been dead for ages. What's the big deal? He can't be expected to mourn for a dead person forever, not at his age, right?"

"You're absolutely right," I couldn't help but agree.

The girls jumped, startled by my voice. One rolled her eyes, annoyed. "Who are you?"

I raised my hand, wiping my face, and murmured, "Me? I'm Liam Thorne's wife..."

The girls burst into laughter, bending over backward, mocking me. "Looks like Liam Thorne drove another one crazy!"

"Seriously, lady, get a reality check."

Then, they treated me like I was insane, chattering and laughing as they walked away.
