1 - My Husband is My Favorite, But I Think I'm Going to Get Divorced

Chapter 1

Prologue

Haven't you ever had one of those days?

When you wake up early without even trying, feeling refreshed enough to not even remember what you dreamed about, and you have this pleasant premonition that everything will go well.

Today was one of those days for me.

I even received some long-awaited news, which made me ecstatic...

"Please, divorce me, my lady."

Thud!

My husband, Euclid, said with a heartbreakingly beautiful face as always.

His sun-like, shimmering golden eyelashes fluttered, and a gloomy, pitiful aura spread across his neat features.

'Oh my god, he can even pull off this wistful atmosphere? He really is a crazy face that I never get tired of looking at...'

No, that's not the point!

"What did you just say?"

I asked sharply, doubting my hearing, and Euclid replied in a voice that trembled even more than before.

"I, I want a divorce..."

"Ha!"

I didn't mishear?

I couldn't help but let out a hollow laugh, dumbfounded.

But seeing Euclid's shoulders flinch, I quickly composed my scowling expression.

I sometimes get startled when I look at my face in the mirror, so I can only imagine what kind of strain it would put on Euclid's delicate heart.

No, maybe he's already been shocked and concluded that he can't possibly live facing this shrewish face.

Could that be why he's asking for a divorce...?

Shaken by the shock, I raised my trembling hand and checked the divorce papers that Euclid had carefully placed on the desk a moment ago.

My favorite name of his was written there, even signed in a soft handwriting.

Wow, I really can't believe it.

After denying reality for a long time, I turned my gaze back to Euclid.

He had already raised his head and was looking at me with a sad expression. My heart weakened at his face, his eyes glistening with tears.

"Are you serious? For the record, I'm not a narrow-minded person who thinks 'honesty' is a virtue in any situation, but rather someone who generously accepts 'white lies,' so I'd appreciate it if you could answer with that in mind."

Euclid paused at my words but soon nodded.

"...I'm serious."

No, Euclid, who can be said to be the embodiment of courtesy and respect, is giving this kind of answer? Does he really want a divorce that much?

I stared at Euclid with my eyes and mouth wide open.

Unable to withstand my intense gaze, Euclid bit his lower lip.

No, why is he biting that precious lip so hard!

Even in this situation, I was worried that his lip would tear and bleed, which was ridiculous.

But I couldn't help it.

'Euclid is my one and only ultimate favorite!'

And I was grateful for the greatest luck of having my ultimate favorite as my husband, and I did my best to make him happy. That's why Euclid's words about wanting a divorce were hard to accept.

But the Euclid in front of me and the divorce papers were all real.

Okay, for the sake of my ultimate favorite.

If what you want is a divorce from me...!

I clenched my fist and opened my mouth.

"No, I won't. Go back."

I can't do anything else, but I absolutely can't grant you a divorce!

I jumped up and tore the divorce papers to shreds right in Euclid's face, making loud ripping sounds.

Was he shocked by my violent behavior?

Euclid's eyes shook as chaotically as the scattered pieces of paper.

In normal times, I would have been at a loss at the sight, but not now.

I couldn't suppress the storm raging inside me, and I raised one corner of my mouth and thought.

'You think I possessed this body just to get divorced?!'

\ \ *

1. I possessed a villainess in a makjang novel.

"You're destined to pick up money even when you fall backward."

The day I was born.

My grandmother, who was usually interested in fortune-telling, said that to my dad, who was disappointed that I was a daughter.

Whether she was worried about my mom, who was watching my dad's reaction after finally giving birth to a child after 10 years of marriage, or whether she really thought I was born with good money luck, no one knew at the time.

But soon, my grandmother's words gained high credibility.

My dad, who worked for a small company, was scouted by a large corporation that he had never dreamed of, and soon rose to a high position and began to receive a high salary.

At that time, my dad thought it was all his ability and was so confident that he quit his job and declared that he would start his own business.

My mom, who had been obedient to my dad all her life, rebelled for the first time and took me out of the house, but my dad didn't care and started a business, pouring in all the money he had saved so far, as well as his severance pay.

Of course, my dad, who had only worked for a company until now and had never run a business, couldn't have succeeded.

Eventually, my dad, who had even borrowed a lot of money from relatives and acquaintances, urgently came to find my mom. Or rather, me.

• Daughter, Dad has been so careless all this time. I'm going to change now. I'll take you on the trips I've been putting off because I've been busy. I'll make a lot of money and give you a good life.

• Oh, you've been careless all this time? I didn't know because I was comfortable.

• Is, is that so?

My dad, who had been authoritarian all his life, lowered his pride and sincerely apologized.

And surprisingly, as soon as I went back home, my dad's business, which seemed impossible to revive, began to go smoothly. No, it was more than just going smoothly.

In less than a month, he paid off all his debts and quickly became a solid small business with a series of good news.

Then, the relatives who had been ignoring my dad began to subtly try to get a piece of the pie. My dad's company had positions for my aunt, uncle, and uncle, and the family relationship was great because the company was doing well.

Until my parents suddenly passed away.

• How can young Evgenia handle all that inheritance?

• That's right. My mother is old, so we'll be the guardians...

• No, why is my aunt stepping up when I'm the aunt? Don't you know I was closest to Evgenia's dad? Of course, I should be the guardian!

My father's inheritance led the harmonious family into a moment of conflict.

• Oh, I didn't know you all cared about me this much. But was my aunt close to my dad? Anyway, my grandmother is very healthy, so you don't need to be my guardian.

All of my relatives wanted to be my guardian and manage my parents' life insurance money and inheritance, but my grandmother stubbornly defended her position as guardian.

Even my grandmother passed away after I became an adult, and I, who was completely alone, began to manage my own money. And after a while, I realized.

"I... I really was born with great money luck?"

I really had amazing money luck.

Even the store where I worked part-time was always full of customers, and I even won a large sum of money in a lottery ticket I happened to get.

I suddenly wanted to test how far this luck would go. So, without fear, I founded an investment company.

The result was a huge success.

The business plans I had been paying attention to, the businesses I had invested in, all achieved great success and brought in enormous profits.

Making money was much more fun than I thought and suited me well.

But.

'I have to earn more. This is not enough.'

Did I inherit my dad's business disease? Or is this just human greed?

From the moment I started making money myself, my head was filled with the thought that I didn't have enough money.

I was curious, but I lived immersed in making money as if I had fallen into a swamp I couldn't escape from.

Then one day. I, who had completely given up on real-life relationships due to distrust of people who were after my money, unexpectedly developed a hobby.

"Euclid... you are the future."

I became completely absorbed in the romance fantasy novel <The Saintess's Dangerous Choice>, which I came across by chance while trying to invest in the content business.

The problem was that my ultimate favorite was not the male lead, nor even the second male lead, but a supporting character!

"Sniff, this dust-like presence."

I read the small amount of content over and over again, and now I've memorized it.

I, who only had money, had no choice but to make the final choice.

"Is the author's name 'Money-obsessed'?"

That's a pen name I like.

I laughed and sent a brief email to the author.

I was free to publish it, and I would pay as much as I wanted for each episode, asking them to write an afterword related to 'Euclid Rudion' or a new story with him as the main character.

And a moment later.

"Huh? Already?"

The read receipt popped up less than a minute after I sent it, and I received a reply.

'Surely it's not a rejection?'

That can't be.

"They're probably asking exactly how much money I can give them."

There's nothing in the world that money can't do, and if it can't, it's just because there's not enough money.

I quickly moved the mouse, expecting a positive answer.

But before I could even check the contents.

"Uh...?"

My vision went white, and I began to lose strength in my body.

Thud! The sound of my body and head hitting the floor echoed in my ears like thunder.

And when I opened my eyes again...

"Is this real?"

I had become 'Evgenia Basilian', the female lead's cousin in <The Saintess's Dangerous Choice> and the villainess who was obsessed with the Crown Prince, one of the male leads.
