When the apocalypse struck, the world transformed, and my best friend and I became rare female survivors among humanity.
After being captured, I was chosen by King Blackwood of Fire, who had awakened fire abilities. Within a year, I gave birth to a prodigy - the young King Blackwood.
As time passed, our territory expanded, and King Blackwood became a dominant force. I became the most revered woman of the post-apocalyptic world.
My best friend, however, ended up with King Blackwood of Water, who had awakened water abilities. It wasn't long before he was killed by other King Blackwoods who seized his territory.
She became a captive once again, suffering greatly as she was passed between several undead hordes, until I finally rescued her.
But instead of showing gratitude, she became insanely jealous and pushed me off a high-rise building.
I dragged her down with me as we fell to our deaths. When I was reborn, I found us back on the day the spoils of war were being divided.
My best friend eagerly threw herself into the arms of King Blackwood of Fire, whose face was covered in flame tattoos.
Seeing her malicious smile, I couldn't help but grin as well.
I could finally escape that hellhole, and there was actually a fool willing to jump right in!

After the Rebirth I Won't Be King Blackwood's Wife Again

I was pinned down by him, my neck pressed as I rolled my eyes. "Not quite. I'm just asking if you want to get Lavender back."


Face down, I couldn't see his expression clearly.


His voice carried a hint of mockery: "Go on."


Sensing an opening, I quickly said, "Well, the Venomous One might try to ambush you soon. You could turn the tables on them."


"Once you've taken down the Venomous One and expanded your horde, you can swallow up King Blackwood's territory and then snatch Lavender back."


"Besides, with your competitive nature, you can't be content always playing little second fiddle, right?"


He squeezed my neck harder: "Care to say that 'little' part again?"


Okay, I surrendered: "My mistake. Just think it over."


He suddenly leaned in close, his icy breath on my neck: "What do you hope to gain?"


Hmm, I used to want him, now I just want to stay alive.
