It was my honeymoon trip, but my husband's best friend insisted on going into the sea for shark watching despite being on her period.

I reasoned against it, as sharks would go amok from the scent of blood, only for Heidi to snap at me, "You're just jealous I have a nice body! That's why you don't want me to have fun with your husband!"

My own husband and his other buddies joined in too, brushing me off impatiently.

"It's rare for us to hang out! Don't be a buzzkill!"

"That's right! Hannah is young and beautiful. She should take pictures with the sharks."

With that, they all went down the water despite my earnest protests, and her menstrual bleeding drew schools of sharks toward her right away.

When I tried to help, she kicked me in the head, knocking me out and leaving me in the water as the sharks tore me to pieces.

While I died under the sea in agonizing despair, Heidi, my husband, and their friends managed to get to safety.

Once they returned to civilization, they reported my death as a drowning and pilfered all my wealth.

While they rose to the peak of their existence, my parents, devastated by my death, both took their own lives.

That was when I opened my eyes again and found myself back on the desert island where they were going for shark watching.

"I shouldn't go shark diving while on my period? Don't be ridiculous! Great white sharks rarely attack humans, and we're never part of their diet! You're just jealous I have a better body, and get this—not even the gods can stop me from going in the water!"

I shuddered as I listened to Heidi Sands' blasphemous rant.

She was one of Larry Shaw's so-called bros.

The same Larry who married into my family.

The day after the wedding, we were going on our honeymoon when Heidi showed up with their usual clique, urging Larry to go shark diving with them near a desert island.

I tried to stop them to no avail and was dragged along to a deserted island.

And before going into the water, Heidi changed tampons in front of everyone.

Blood is known to send sharks into a frenzy, and I tried to tell her to stay on the boat.

Instead of listening, Heidi called me out for being paranoid in front of everyone, and everyone promptly agreed, saying that I was making a fuss out of nothing and making Heidi look bad.

I expected Larry to stop her, only for him to snort at me. "You're just trying to make yourself look better! Are you done?! How could you be so jealous?! I'm going to make you pay if you ruined this for her!"

I could only watch as Heidi entered the water with my husband without any protective gear.

To no surprise, the shiver of sharks erupted in a frenzy from the blood and attacked Heidi.

Out of kindness, I tried to save her, only for her to kick me in the head, knocking me out and throwing me to the frenzied sharks.

While Larry and their friends managed to get to Heidi to safety, I was shredded to pieces and left at the bottom of the ocean.

Afterwards, they all testified to the police that I had ignored warnings against not going shark diving while on my period and ended up eaten.

Larry hence inherited all my wealth and married Heidi just three months later, rising to the peak of their existence.

As for my parents, they were left devastated by my death, and both of them took their own lives…

"That's enough, Zoe! Stop trying to harass Heidi! We're all here to play with the sharks, and going shark diving while on your period is perfectly fine!"

Larry's outburst brought me to my senses.

I had been reincarnated!

Even as I watched him fiercely defend Heidi, I growled coolly, "It's her freedom. She can dive all she wants—I was just trying to be polite."

Since fate had seen it fit to give me a second chance, I wasn't about to bother meddling.

They wanted to die with Heidi? That suited me just fine!

Meanwhile, our yacht had arrived in shark territory, while Larry's friends were still dissing me.

"What's worse than ignorance? Running your mouth while being ignorant!"

"'Don't go swimming while on your period'? You only said that because Heidi is on her period! You just want to screw with her!"

"Exactly! What did Larry even see in you? You're so petty with another woman!"

Heidi let them continue, watching me gleefully.

Having had enough, I took a deep breath and said, "You're right—since I'm such a buzzkill, I won't be joining you. I'm leaving!"

Larry frowned and snapped at me right then, "Are you done?! Everyone's traveled all the way here to see the sharks, but you have to make this about yourself!"

"I never wanted to come!" I shot back. "You dragged me here! Heidi was the one who wanted to see the sharks!"

Seeing Heidi and Larry cringe in response, I laughed coolly. "Go swim with the sharks all you want—I won't stop you. Just give me the speedboat, and I'll go back to the shore."

The speedboat had an automated navigation system and we were just a few dozen miles away from the mainland, so I could make it back with no problems.

After all, I wasn't interested in stopping them from feeding the sharks.

However, Larry promptly refused. "No! This is our first trip as husband and wife! I can't let you go off alone—I'm worried."

Heidi too hugged my arm and pouted. "Come on, Zoe! We're already here, and you can't just throw petty tantrums because you don't like me! I mean, leaving by yourself? Everyone's going to be worried!"

And with those words, everyone was promptly glaring at me in disdain.

"Heidi is being nice taking you to see the sharks!"

"Forget not thanking her, you have to keep being a buzzkill!"

"You make me sick!"

"If only you were half as understanding as Heidi! Larry really lost big time marrying you!"

"What a stubborn, ignorant woman!"

And after a while, Heidi sighed out loud. "Anyway, you're not taking the speedboat. It's for emergencies, and the sea is very dangerous. If someone needs help, we'll be in trouble without the speedboat."

Then, picking up a lifebuoy and throwing it at me, she continued, "But if you really want to leave, use that. The seas are calm right now, and you'll make it back soon."

"You just want me to die, don't you?"

I could laugh right then—we were miles away from land, and with all the undercurrents, I'd just float off to the ocean on a lifebuoy!

Heidi promptly pouted again. "How could you say something like that?! I'm worried about everyone's safety! How could we risk everyone's lives for you?! How could you be so stubborn?!"

She was ridiculous! If there was a problem, they would rather use the speedboat than the huge yacht?!

It was obvious that she just wanted to direct the lynch mob at me.

And as I expected, everyone promptly leaped to her defense and yelled at me.

"You're so selfish!"

"You want to take the speedboat?! Hell, no!"

"Why should everyone pay for your childishness?!"

I ignored their hollering, however, and pushed Heidi away before running toward the speedboat.

However, Larry promptly caught me and slapped me across the face. "There's no end with you!"

Then, reaching for a wrench, he struck the propeller repeatedly.

Clang!

In just a few hits, the propellers were left in pieces, disabling the speedboat and leaving me with nowhere to go.

"Let's see what you can do now!" Larry then gloated.

The others sneered at me gleefully, blood seeping out of my mouth while my cheek swelled from the slap.

Heidi even sighed as if she cared. "I'm doing this so that your honeymoon will be filled with happy memories! Quit being so stubborn and come with us. I promise you'll never forget this!"

Seeing the glee in her eyes, I realized that she wanted to ruin my honeymoon trip from the start.

Still, I nodded, to pretend to give in. "Alright, let's go."

They wouldn't let me leave?

Fine, I would stay… and watch them swim to their own demise!

Seeing that I caved, Larry calmed and urged everyone to prepare their scuba gear.

Heidi made sure to wear a skimpy bikini that showed off her figure, even puffing her chest or rearing her posterior while warming up.

All the men were all staring fixedly at her and watched as she jumped into the water without any gear.

Just like she did in my last life.

Then, she waved at them excitedly, "Come on! The water's warm, and I don't even feel my period cramps! The sharks are right there, too!"

Hearing her, everyone else dived in and happily swam toward the deeper end.

I was about to put on my gear when Larry pushed me into the sea. "Why are you dragging your feet?! Everyone's in the water already. Don't make them wait!"

He jumped in too, pulling me by my wrist toward deeper waters.

Seeing us, Heidi shoved me aside as if a prank, pulling Larry further ahead, and suddenly stopped and turned, handing me her phone, clearly asking for pictures.

When I took it, she wrapped her arms around Larry's neck and pressed her chest tightly against him flirtatiously.

Larry found nothing wrong with that, even holding her waist in turn, and beckoned for me to take a picture of the beautiful moment.

The rest of their friends were all laughing and holding two thumbs up.

I felt my stomach churning as those two frolicked like there was no one around—I must have been blind to marry a jerk like Larry!

Seething with hatred, I allowed the phone to slip through my fingers and fall into the sea with a plop.

Larry wheeled on me right then, glaring at me furiously and started to swim toward me for another scolding.

That was when a violent splashing echoed from the distance.

Soon, a shiver of great white sharks appeared.

Each shark was massive, but they rarely attacked unprovoked.

Just seeing them left me shuddering uncontrollably, but Heidi's eyes lit up and dragged Larry along to the sharks, while beckoning for everyone to follow.

When they had gone far enough, she turned to smirk at me.

Then, taking off Larry's scuba mask, she wrapped herself around Larry like a koala to a tree and jammed her lips on his.

Larry was stunned for a moment, but he soon got into it and kissed her back.

Seeing that, their buddies quickly made a circle around them, taking photos with their phones repeatedly.

I watched from the distance, unaffected as Larry and Heidi kept swapping spit, my eyes fixed on Heidi's groin.

None of them noticed the crimson slowly seeping out of Heidi's bikini, spreading into the water toward the sharks.
