After being reborn, I took the initiative to sign the divorce agreement my wife, Janice Woods, had thrown at me. The scandal of Janice’s student, Kevin Hudson, had been exposed when applying for her doctoral program—accused of trading his body for a spot. To help him get into the doctoral program smoothly and avoid the stigma of coveting a married woman, Janice came to me with the divorce agreement, pleading. "Kevin’s sister died to save me back then, and he’s her only younger brother—I can’t just abandon him. Ethan, can you stop being so insecure?" Said Janice. Years ago, when they were on a scientific expedition in the mountains, Janice slipped and fell into a river. In the bitter winter, Kevin’s sister, Lili Hudson, jumped into the icy water, pushed her to the shore, but drowned after exhausting all her strength. Lily had doted on her younger brother most, so ever since then, Janice had taken extraordinary care of Kevin. In my previous life, when I found out she was sacrificing me to protect Kevin, I tore up the divorce agreement on the spot. Later, I was diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer. I wanted to leave quietly, but Janice, upon hearing Kevin say, "Professor Lincoln can’t be using his illness to morally blackmail you, right?" became convinced that I was faking my illness to gain sympathy. She even spread rumors that I had committed academic fraud and harassed female students, ruining my reputation—all to find a good excuse for the divorce. In despair, I ended my life early. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the moment when Janice Woods was holding the divorce agreement and begging me to divorce her.
