Predatory Marriage - Chapter 389: Snow in the Desert (17)

“Let’s get a divorce,” Chen Jinyao said.

She knew that she was only a supporting character in this novel world. The male lead only married her as a business relationship and, sooner or later, the female lead of the story would eventually show up.

If Chen Jinyao was indecisive about leaving, only heartbreak would follow.

Something pulled her thin white wrist, and next thing she knew, she was pushed down and pressed against a pillow. Yan Cheng’s peach blossom eyes bored into her in discontent as he declared, “Only in your dreams!”

After spending a colorful night, she was too tired to lift a finger.

When she fell asleep in Yan Cheng’s arms, she had a dream.

In her dream, she had turned 80 years old.

But can someone tell her why she still hadn’t left the marriage at that age?

He was once a name whispered in terror.A Demon King no army could challenge. No god could judge. No fate could bind.But he didn’t fall in battle.He walked away.Immortality became dull. Victory became predictable. The world stopped pushing back. And for someone who was born to conquer limits… boredom was the only true enemy left.So Anos chose death.Reborn as a human in a fragile, uncertain world, he expects weakness, struggle—maybe even humility.Instead, something else awakens.A system woven from hearts, fate, and supremacy.A power that doesn’t just measure strength… it measures influence, dominance, connection, desire.The universe is watching.And somewhere in the silence between worlds, a former god of destruction begins carving a new path—one not toward simple conquest… but toward something higher.Beyond heroes.Beyond destiny.Beyond the very laws that once defined him.This isn’t a story about redemption.It’s about evolution.From Demon King…To something the cosmos itself may not be ready for.

A forgotten shadow in the court, mocked as a stain on royal blood.But when the gods reached down, healing his body and allowing strength into his veins, Aric tasted hope for the first time.

Every step forward dragged him closer to the abyss, until vengeance and damnation became one.But Aric does not care.Because the cursed prince has only one destiny left:To rise as the sovereign who will shatter gods, break empires, and tear fate itself apart.Or die trying—and take the world with him.
