The Husband Who Should’ve Died Came Back

I’ve possessed the wicked stepmother of the male lead. Originally, my role was to wait until the male lead was young, then have my husband die, take all the family’s wealth, and run away. And then I would be killed by the male lead, who grew up through every hardship. Why should I have to do that? If anything, I’d rather be a kind stepmother. While I’m at it, I might as well be a kind wife to my husband, who will die soon, too. “Why are you looking at me like that?” “Eat more, Ceres. This one is especially good for your eyes, and this one has a lot of protein, so it’s good for building muscle.” They say you look better when you’re well fed even after death. But after I treated him a little too well, my husband started to misunderstand me. “Nothing will change because of this. There won’t be any children between us. I will never love you either.” “Yes, I’m fine with that. I don’t want it either.” My husband looked at me with a strange expression. That handsome man is going to die soon. What a loss to humanity. A real loss. *** In the end, I sent my husband off to the battlefield and ran away with the legal son. This was the best way to protect the child. I’ll raise him well and return him to where he belongs! But three years later, the husband who was supposed to be dead returned. “Am I too late, Roana? You must have had a hard time all this while. I really... missed you.” He looked at me with unexpectedly melodramatic eyes. “From now on, I’ll never leave your side. Not even in death.”
