About 1,296 characters (~225 words) — this is Chapter 1, one of 4 free chapters on EditWrx Reads.
I am the most famous simp in Hollywood.
But I'm the successful kind. I actually married the Movie King.
Then one day, I woke up and realized I was the villainous ex-husband in a BL (Boys' Love) novel.
The plot? I'm the disposable antagonist who forces the male lead (my husband) into marriage while his true love is abroad, uses dirty tricks to keep him, and eventually dies a horrible death.
Right now, I'm filming a live-streamed reality show about celebrity couples traveling together.
Someone jokingly asked, "So, Ethan, what's the one thing you want to do most right now on this beautiful beach?"
I looked straight into the camera and said:
"Get a divorce."
The internet exploded.

The room went dead silent.
The live chat scrolling across the screen went berserk.
Because just moments ago, I was still Ethan Vance, the number one simp for my husband, the award-winning actor Leo Sterling.
And now, I was the one asking for a divorce.
[Is Ethan crazy?]
[What's wrong with him this morning? Why bring up divorce out of nowhere?]
[He's just chasing clout again. LMAO, Ethan can't live a day without drama.]
[He was practically worshipping the ground Leo walked on yesterday. Divorce? I don't buy it.]
[Probably acting out again. Where does a D-list celebrity get the nerve?]
[Hey, haters are still fans, right?~]
