I live in a world where you can’t initiate a divorce.
Those who initiate a divorce will be convicted and sent to prison, and their spouse will inherit all their property.
And my wife cheated on me.
She turned the tables and sent me to the court of egoism.
But she didn’t know that I already had the evidence.
If I were found not guilty, my wife would lose all rights to choose her spouse and go to prison.
And her lover would be chemically sterilized and owe me one million for emotional damages.
I would also receive a reward of ten million dollars.

The Karmic Courtroom, Love, Lies, and a Million-Dollar Revenge

The bathroom's running water was deafening, masking many other sounds.


I entered from the living area, searching everywhere for my mobile. Unable to locate it, I had to resort to using Lily's device to call my own.


As I reached for Lily's phone, a notification on the display caught my eye.


I'm not one to snoop through Lily's messages. I believe couples should trust each other and respect personal boundaries.


But the preview on the lock screen read: [Darling, I'm longing for you. When will you don those black stockings for me again?]


The sender was labeled "Sweetie Pie", with adorable emoticons.


In that instant, I felt a chill run through me. I wondered if it might be harmless banter between Lily and her female friends. Was I jumping to conclusions?


Upon unlocking the device, I discovered that Lily's conversation with this "Sweetie Pie" in a single day surpassed my entire chat history with her throughout our three-year marriage.
