My ex-wife’s bestie slept with me

Three years ago, elite mercenary Ethan Cross retired and married Vicky, hoping to live an ordinary life—but Vicky found him boring and cheated on him behind his back for two whole years. Her best friend Sophia saw from the very first glance that Ethan was far from ordinary, and she waited quietly for two years before laying the truth bare before him. Ethan signed the divorce papers calmly, then said to his rival, "You destroyed three years of my life. You're going to pay for those three years." From crushing the local tyrant's hunting ground, to storming an underground auction single-handedly, to fighting his way through a private island teeming with hunters, he uprooted an entire criminal empire that had held the port city in its grip for sixty years. When he finally reached Sophia, who had been taken hostage, he was covered in blood—only to find her clutching a shard of glass, having already stabbed their enemy with her own hands. Everyone wants to eliminate Ethan or claim him for themselves, but Sophia alone dared to embrace every part of his darkness from the very beginning; she went from a bystander to a comrade-in-arms, and ultimately became his only anchor—in her eyes, he doesn't need to be normal, he just needs to be fully himself.
