Otherhalf

She was the queen of special agents, a blood-soaked legend who made the most powerful men in the world quake in fear. Ruthless, brilliant, and unmatched, her name was a death sentence.

But when she opened her eyes again, she found herself trapped in the broken body of a useless rich girl, beaten half to death by her in-laws.

Her husband? A filthy cheat who flaunted his mistress right in her face. Her mother-in-law? A venomous snake who degraded her as if she were less than dirt. And her so-called father? A greedy traitor plotting to steal the family fortune she was born to inherit.

The world thought she was finished. But they had no idea who they were dealing with.

Reborn as Gu Ling, she rose from the ashes as a demon from hell. The timid, broken girl was gone. In her place stood a woman who crushed her enemies underfoot without a second thought.

She humiliated the mistress so thoroughly the 
woman would never dare show her face again. She beat her mother-in-law so mercilessly the woman never spoke another word of disrespect. Her useless husband? She made him crawl at her feet, begging for mercy, before throwing him out like trash.

And that was just the beginning.

She stormed into elite academies and martial arts halls, proving herself to be a force the world couldn’t contain. Step by step, she reclaimed her throne, her power, and her pride.

The world whispered about Gu Ling, the discarded wife of the Lu family. They said she was a second-hand woman no man would ever touch.

But as she stood above them all, a certain man knelt before her, a man whose name struck terror into the hearts of the underworld. He was cold, ruthless, and unstoppable. They called him the King of the Night.

Gu Ling tilted his chin up with a queen’s arrogance, her lips curling into a wicked smile.

“I accept your proposal,” she said, her voice dripping with power.

The Queen Of Special Agents Is Reborn Into A Wealthy Family

"Gu Ling, are you really willing to divorce me?"

Back then, their marriage had been something Gu Ling begged for on her knees. She even went as far as to please the old man to make it happen.

And now, what did she say just now?

Not only did she insult Lu Ming, calling him a maggot in the sewer, but she also filed for divorce on her own initiative?!

But Gu Ling… she had always been vicious at heart. What kind of terrible thing hadn't she done before? This must be another scheme to get his attention!

Thinking of this, Lu Ming looked into Gu Ling's eyes again, his stomach twisting in disgust. He sneered and said fiercely, "Gu Ling, you'd better mean what you say. If you're lying to me, you're dead!"

His harsh tone made her sound like some heinous sinner.

If this had been the Gu Ling of the past, she would have been heartbroken at this moment. But the current Gu Ling?

Her expression showed no sadness at all.

She simply felt sorry for the woman she used to be—the original owner of this body. A husband who had claimed to love her deeply for more than ten years couldn't wait to send her to hell the moment things went wrong.

Suddenly, Lin Miaoyuan's voice interrupted the tense air. Her tone was soft, almost too delicate, like she was some kind of saint. If someone didn't know better, they might've thought she was a kind and gentle person.

"A Ming, don't make me feel guiltier just because I divorced Ms. Gu. It makes me sound like I'm a third party…"

She paused, her expression perfectly innocent. "Besides, the old man doesn't like me. If you get divorced because of me, he'll only hate me more than he already does…"

But deep down, Lin Miaoyuan's true thoughts couldn't have been further from her words. If this divorce didn't happen smoothly, her plan to marry into the Lu family and take their wealth would be ruined.

In the dim light, her face twisted in frustration.

Perhaps it was the mention of "grandfather" that brought Lu Ming back to his senses. He raised a hand to press his forehead, trying to calm down.

Just moments ago, he'd been blinded by anger—so much so that he nearly forgot his inheritance was still in the hands of the old man.

If the old man found out about his divorce with Gu Ling and became displeased, he might take away Lu Ming's position as the chief heir of the Lu family!

This wretched woman! She had almost ruined everything for him.

His mother had been right—Gu Ling was nothing but a troublemaker.

Forcing himself to stay calm, Lu Ming's face returned to its usual cold indifference.

In three days, the old man would transfer the Lu family's inheritance rights to him during his 80th birthday banquet. Only then would Lu Ming finally be able to throw this useless woman out of his life for good.

"Gu Ling, you'd better not try any tricks on me!" he warned, his sharp eyes narrowing.

"Three days from now, at the old man's birthday banquet, play your role as my wife. After that, we'll divorce.

"And don't let me find out you're planning to cause trouble at the banquet.

"Otherwise, you know what I'm capable of!"

After being dismissed like that, Gu Ling left the Lu family villa and walked down the dark, empty path leading away from the estate.

The villa was perched on a mountainside, far from the urban area. Not a soul could be seen nearby.

She walked for about 30 minutes, but the silence around her never broke.
