At a friend's gathering, someone asked Philip when he planned to marry me. Philip took a calm drag from his cigarette, his eyes unreadable. “Elizabeth is a good girl,” he said, “but she’s… tainted now. So my wife could never be her.” He paused, then added softly, “If only she were untouched, like Lauren.” The video cut out. A text flashed on the screen. 【It’s me he loves. Don’t you get it yet?】 I stared at the taunting message but didn’t reply. Instead, I called out to the System. “System, I choose to give up the mission. Yes—even if the price is death.” That night, Philip came to find me, reeking of alcohol. As soon as he saw me, he pulled me into a tight embrace. “Elizabeth, I missed you so much.” He rested his head against my neck, no different from the Philip I knew. He kissed my cheek, then my lips, then my neck. But as he moved lower, he hesitated—remembering something—and held himself back. Even now, with alcohol fueling a desire stronger than usual, he didn’t take the next step. I used to think he was being considerate, unwilling to go too far before marriage. Now I understood. He just thought I was dirty. Pushing down the grief, I shoved him away. My voice turned to ice. “Philip, we’re breaking up.” His eyes sharpened, suddenly sober. “Elizabeth, what are you saying?” Seeing his nervous expression—if I hadn’t seen that video—how could I have believed that Philip, who always seemed to care for me, would say such things? I always thought he would be the one to protect me. I never imagined he’d be the one to hurt me the deepest. “I said, we’re over.” He reached out and pulled me tightly against him again, his voice a low murmur. “No, we’re not.” I hated him like this. Clearly having no future in mind with me, yet still refusing to let go. “Then have me now. Marry me.” He froze, caught off guard, then chuckled softly. “Don’t be silly.” But my eyes welled up. “Admit it, Philip! You just think I’m dirty!” The thought I’d suppressed for so long finally burst out. After I said it, Philip stood rooted to the spot, staring at me intently. My words had struck true. A flicker of disgust crossed his face. “Fine. Yes, I think you’re dirty. Why did that bastard choose you and not someone else? Why did you have to let him—” His gaze cut like a blade, plunging deep into my heart. Hearing that, the tears I’d held back for so long finally fell. That day was my eighteenth birthday. I’d dressed up carefully, hoping to surprise Philip. Passing through an alley, a pair of foul, sticky hands clamped over my mouth. “All dressed up like that… you were looking for trouble, weren’t you?” I struggled desperately, but the man behind me only grew more excited. Philip was the first to find me. Trembling, he held me, swearing through gritted teeth that he’d find the man and make him pay. But now? He knew I was the victim, yet he called me dirty. I was the one who truly wished it had never happened. Maybe I should have understood the System’s mocking tone from the start. I screamed at him, my voice raw. “Get out!” His patience had long vanished. Seeing my state, he threw down one last line. “Elizabeth, you’d better not regret this. Once you leave me, no one will ever look after you again.” After he left, I could no longer hold myself up. I crumpled to the floor. It felt like something was being ripped from inside me—a pain that made me tremble. I had lost the bet with the System. Completely. Then, a sharp, twisting pain shot through my abdomen. I coughed lightly and looked down at my open hand. A vivid number **15** appeared on my palm, then slowly faded away.

Chapter 1 of Loving you brings regret

At a friend's gathering, someone asked Philip when he planned to marry me.

Philip took a calm drag from his cigarette, his eyes unreadable.

“Elizabeth is a good girl,” he said, “but she’s… tainted now. So my wife could never be her.” He paused, then added softly, “If only she were untouched, like Lauren.”

The video cut out. A text flashed on the screen.

【It’s me he loves. Don’t you get it yet?】

I stared at the taunting message but didn’t reply. Instead, I called out to the System.

“System, I choose to give up the mission. Yes—even if the price is death.”

That night, Philip came to find me, reeking of alcohol.

As soon as he saw me, he pulled me into a tight embrace. “Elizabeth, I missed you so much.”

He rested his head against my neck, no different from the Philip I knew. He kissed my cheek, then my lips, then my neck.

But as he moved lower, he hesitated—remembering something—and held himself back. Even now, with alcohol fueling a desire stronger than usual, he didn’t take the next step.

I used to think he was being considerate, unwilling to go too far before marriage. Now I understood. He just thought I was dirty.

Just like the evening breeze leaves no trace
Just like the evening breeze leaves no trace
Chapter 1 It was their seventh wedding anniversary. Carolyn found the divorce agreement in Roger’s nightstand. The pages were covered in scribbles and corrections, as if he’d agonized over them for years. *"If, during the marriage, I fall in love with another person, I voluntarily relinquish all assets and leave with nothing. Asset details as follows…"* His first impulse had been to walk away empty-handed. But the asset section told a different story—a mess of revisions. First, he’d crossed out the property he intended to give her. Then, the fifty million earmarked for her was scratched out and replaced with five hundred thousand. Finally, as if in penance, he had written a single line. *"Better to have Carolyn leave with nothing. No choice, Catherine is pregnant."* … Carolyn sank onto the bed, disbelief washing over her. On the agreement, Roger’s signature was clean and decisive, without a hint of hesitation. And the document had been drafted seven years ago—the very year they married. That year, Roger had been willing to give up everything for her. Yet every year after, he had crossed out another piece of their shared life. Now, seven years later, the one leaving with nothing would be her. Her phone buzzed abruptly. A message from Roger. *"Urgent business. Won't be back."* She called, only to find his phone already switched off. Another notification flashed—a screenshot from a friend. Catherine, the student she sponsored, had posted on social media. *"Wow, got praised! To commemorate my first period without a leak, the big boss said we should celebrate properly!"* In a nine-photo collage, Roger gazed at her, eyes crinkling with affection as he fastened a dazzling gemstone necklace around her neck. The post was tagged at a couples-themed hotel. Carolyn’s breath caught. He couldn’t remember seven years of marriage, of weathering storms together—but he could find the energy to celebrate Catherine’s… leak-free period. And that pendant… she’d seen it at an auction just last week. It was her mother’s lost heirloom. She’d been ready to bid when her bank card was frozen. She’d asked Roger why. A long time later, he finally texted back, telling her not to waste money on such impractical things. Clutching her bidding paddle, she’d sat helplessly in the auction hall. In the end, she resolved to sell one of her own designs to raise the funds. But someone on the phone swooped in with an unbeatable offer and took it. For weeks afterward, Carolyn hated herself—hated that she couldn’t protect her mother’s last keepsake. She never imagined the one who snatched it away was Roger. He knew exactly how much that pendant meant to her. Yet he gave it to Catherine. Even on their seventh anniversary, Roger had lied about being busy with work, while wining and dining the girl she’d sponsored. The anniversary gift he left her was a divorce agreement demanding she leave with nothing. Seven years of marriage. Seven years of infidelity. And Carolyn had known nothing. She’d even introduced the other woman to him herself. Catherine was the impoverished student Carolyn sponsored. The first time Catherine came to their home to give thanks, Roger found her intrusive and disliked her on sight. *"That girl has no manners. Tracked mud all over my cashmere rug."* *"If her grades aren’t up to par, cut the sponsorship."* Back then, Carolyn had teased him, saying not to be jealous—it was good the girl had a grateful heart. She never once suspected Roger and Catherine. For seven years, everyone in their circle believed Roger never played around. That he loved only Carolyn. But by their next meeting, Catherine had become Roger’s personal assistant. Roger explained, *"The girl’s had it tough. You’ve sponsored her for years. Giving her a job is just helping you out."* Carolyn had laughed it off. Now, hands trembling, she opened Catherine’s social media feed. Catherine had always hidden her posts from Carolyn. Now, she seemed desperate to flaunt everything. While Carolyn drank until her stomach bled to secure a deal for Roger, Catherine was using Roger’s card to buy her first Louis Vuitton. While Carolyn changed bedpans for Roger’s bedridden grandmother, Roger was taking Catherine to a perfume atelier for a blending class—calling it a business trip. Catherine had even complained online. *"Your wife is such a pampered princess. Can't handle the tiniest thing without you running back. Can she not live without a man?"* And Roger had replied beneath it. *"If she were half as independent as you, I’d have an easier life."* But that day… Carolyn’s mother had lost her battle with cancer. She’d cried until her heart felt shredded, scrambling to handle the arrangements. All the while, Roger kept checking his phone impatiently, eager to leave. Not for work, she realized now—but because he was desperate to get back to Catherine.
