The Dawn God’s Regret

My father is the High God of the Sun, and my mother is the Empress of the Moon.

Ever since I was born, they’ve had two suitors lined up for me.

First, there’s Sol, the God of Dawn. He rules the Temple of Light and controls everything warm and bright in this world.

Then there’s Karnos, the Shadow Sovereign. He rules the Dark Realm with a power so absolute it makes the other gods tremble.

On the day of my Millennium Awakening, whichever man I choose as my husband will become the Supreme Ruler of the entire Divine Realm.

Without a second thought, I chose Karnos. The crowd went dead silent.

Everyone was losing their minds because I’d been head-over-heels for Sol since we were kids. I’d even sworn an oath that I’d never marry anyone but him.

But what they don't know is that in my past life, I did marry Sol. And on our very first night as husband and wife, he crawled into bed with my maid, Lilith.

When the news broke, Lilith was banished to the mortal world.

Sol never forgave me for that. He blamed me for her exile. After I got pregnant, he started bringing a different goddess home every single night, forcing me to watch while they were intimate right in front of me.

It got worse. On the day I went into labor, he intentionally sent away every single healing deity. He ignored my screams and pleas for help, leaving me and my unborn child to die in absolute agony.

So, now that I’ve been reborn, I’ve decided to let him have his "true love." I’m walking away and choosing Karnos instead.

But there’s one thing I didn’t count on...

Sol remembered everything, too.

"Three days from now is your Millennium Awakening ceremony. Have you thought about which fiancé you want to marry?"

"No matter who you choose, we will have him inherit both divine systems and become the Supreme God who rules the entire Divine Realm."

Opening my eyes once more, two divine seals appeared before me.

They were the tokens of the two suitors my parents had chosen for me since I was a child.

One was Sol’s Seal of Light, and the other was Karnos’s Shadow Sigil.

In my past life, I loved Sol deeply and chose to marry him without a second thought, only to be tortured to death by him in the end.

Now that I’ve been reborn, I pointed to the other seal without a moment's hesitation: Karnos.

Since Sol is so unwilling to marry me, then this time, I will grant him his wish.

...

Three days before the Millennium Awakening, I strolled through the mortal marketplace.

The scent of roasted meat and mulled wine permeated the air, and merchants were shouting, hawking their wares.

Only by breathing in the mundane smoke and fire of the mortal world could I realize that I had truly been reborn.

I never expected to run into Sol and
