She had been secretly married to him for ten years, knowing all along that he loved someone he could never have. Then his beloved's younger sister stirred up trouble, and for a time he believed I was the sinner who had caused his beloved's death. Now that sister had moved into their home and treated his legitimate wife like dirt, often slandering her right in front of him. Unable to endure the two of them taking turns smearing her, she asked for a divorce, but he refused, saying he hadn't tormented her enough yet. Later, when she went to the hospital because she was feeling unwell, she was diagnosed with cancer. She had little time left and was told to settle her affairs as soon as possible.
