The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

“I never thought ‘love at first sight’ actually existed in this world. We met in the most beautiful way possible, but we spent our time
together in the worst way imaginable... I knew he didn’t love me, but he had no choice but to marry me. That’s why I can
understand why he treated me so coldly the way he did...
“I guess he must have had a lot on his mind—dreams, poems, songs, ambitions, the girl he loved... everything but me. Even so,
I still cried tears of joy when we exchanged vows in front of the priest and put the ring on each other’s fingers. I fantasized about
the day I’d finally find a place in his heart... even if just a tiny part!
“I cried my lungs out. He was petrified when he saw me in that state. Although he was disgusted, he still wiped my tears away
and put the ring on my finger. He was cold yet gentle... At that moment... I started falling.”
Chapter Three, The Long Wait.
“I’ve imagined us doing things together after getting married...watching variety shows on the couch, building complicated castles
from Lego bricks, playing games together as a team, feeding kittens together, and even watching him eat all the food I make.
After all that, we’d hold each other’s hand and fall asleep in each other’s arms. Little did I know, he would always say, ‘Wait.’ Wait
for him to come home. Wait for him to have a meal together. Wait for him to be free... Sadly, I could count on my fingers the
times we actually did something together.
“On countless seemingly endless lonely nights, I fell asleep on my own. Life was slowly slipping through my fingers, and so was
my love for him. Whenever I felt the love was drying up, he’d suddenly smile at me or call out to me. It might even be a micro-
expression on his face. That was enough to make my heart race again. I was too weak. I loved him too much!”
Chapter Four, Chapter Five, Chapter Six...
Stefan maintained the same posture as he read on. He was like a statue.
As he flipped through the pages, his heart began to ache. His vision was turning blurry too...
He never knew Renee was capable of writing in such detail. In just a few words, she managed to describe their cold marriage
with great accuracy.
It was evident how much she loved him from the way she wrote.
It was a one-woman show about her selflessly giving, repeatedly getting hurt by him, and continually healing herself!

“Bulls*it!” Stefan couldn’t resist cursing halfway through the novel.
It wasn’t surprising that this novel became so popular. The fans would all shout, “This is torture!”
The storyline was too realistic, and the characters were very well-developed. Even though Stefan knew he was the male lead
and he was the one who did all these awful things, he still clenched his jaw and felt sorry for the female lead!
Fortunately, the story took a sweet turn after that.
The male and female lead had sex, and the female lead became pregnant. After the baby was born, the male lead gradually
started developing feelings for the female lead while they raised their child...
“After the baby fell asleep at night, I decided to make myself something to eat in the kitchen since it was still early. I bumped into
him when I opened the door. It was dark, but his cheeks were red. He was probably out drinking. I was in shock. Before I even
said a word, he pressed both hands against my cheeks and began kissing me passionately. I...”
Stefan’s lips felt dry while he read this part. He even became a little excited.
Although it was only a kissing scene, Renee’s writing made it feel so realistic. Stefan could totally picture it happening. He
quickly turned the page, hoping to read even more exciting content.
It turned out this was where the novel ended!
“Damn it! Why isn’t there more? Did she hide the rest of the novel?” Stefan was hooked. He kept flipping through the notebook.
He was afraid he’d miss any ‘restricted’ content.
Unfortunately, the novel had, in fact, come to an end. Renee didn’t write anything else.
Stefan closed the thick notebook. It felt like he’d just experienced four different seasons of the year. The novel had taken him on
an emotional roller-coaster ride...
He had no idea Renee loved him so much. He also had no idea he used to be such a detestable person.
Just as it took time for the sun to set, it would take time for human emotions to fade.
Suddenly, Stefan understood why Renee could move on so quickly...

“Stefan, I’ve got news for you!” Xavier suddenly barged in and exclaimed excitedly.
