After the Divorce, He Married His Ex-Wife's Pop Queen Aunt.

The novel opens with a dramatic scene at the New York City Clerk's Office, where pop diva Amelia Quinn is divorcing her husband, Frank Castle. Amelia blames Frank for the media frenzy and accuses him of being after her money, while Frank maintains his innocence. Their conversation reveals the breakdown of their marriage stemmed from Amelia's soaring career and Frank's perceived mediocrity after hitting a creative block, as well as Amelia's growing closeness with her business partner, Liam Reed. Amelia, once an admirer of Frank's talent, now sees him as a burden. Liam Reed advises Amelia to leverage public opinion to portray Frank as a cheating "scumbag." This strategy aims to protect Amelia's public image and further boost her popularity. Despite Frank's loyalty to their marriage, Amelia, swayed by Liam and driven by her ambition to surpass her legendary aunt—a highly successful and independent figure in the music industry—ultimately agrees to the plan. Subsequently, fake news and fabricated photos of Frank cheating quickly top the trending lists on social media, leading to widespread public condemnation against him. Amidst the storm of public opinion, Frank calmly leaves their former home. At this crucial moment, mysterious text appears before his eyes, indicating that "Earth Memory" has been fully downloaded and is ready for infusion. This foreshadows Frank's imminent acquisition of knowledge and culture from a parallel universe, setting the stage for his future counterattack and dramatic rise. The story implies that Frank will no longer be a helpless "loser" but will re-emerge with immense potential.
