Zoe's marriage to Timothy is a cold house built on his indifference. He keeps Mia, a soft-voiced mistress he calls his angel, and at the Li family banquet Zoe finally objects out loud. The answer is a divorce agreement slid across the table, and when she refuses to sign, Timothy's cruelty turns lethal — her parents pay the price for her defiance.
Then Zoe wakes on the morning she first discovered Mia. This time she moves her parents somewhere Timothy cannot reach and drafts her own divorce papers, ready to sign on her terms. She stays close enough to watch Mia closely, to learn what kind of angel deserves all this devotion, and to decide what her second life is actually for.
