Part one: The God of War's Forbidden Bride plot summary

The God of War's Forbidden Bride is an ancient drama of fortune reversal after rebirth. It gains lots of popularity on ShortMax app.

Selene was born in a wealthy family and she is Zeus’s favorite daughter. From her childhood, she could get everything she wants including a husband. Skiron is the son of a god and his father hoped Skiron could get married with Selene to keep their lineage standing. So when Selene claimed she wanted to marry to Skiron, Skiron agreed. 

But Skiron had already fallen in love with Selene’s sister. The love between them originated from a misunderstanding. Three years ago, he was cursed by Eris and she was bleeding to death. Skiron thought it was Daphne who lifted that curse. Daphne didn’t explain that. What’s worse, she enjoyed love from Skiron and took advantage of his love to help her upward. 

After ten years of their marriage, Skiron killed Selene and poisoned Selene’s father to death. Luckily, god gave Selene a second chance. In the next life, she chose her rival as her husband. Ironically, her rival was really the one loving her. 

Knowing that he lost the love from Selene, Skiron begged Selene to love him again and finally died of illness. By contrast, Selene’s husband in this life was extremely considerate towards her. 

Part two: The God of War's Forbidden Bride main characters

Selene

She is Zeus’s favorite daughter. She can have anything she wants. She loved Skiron so much that she gave Skiron everything and she made him the most powerful God on Olympus. What’s more, she protected Skiron no matter what. She gave him everything her father ever gifted her. 

However, she was killed by Skiron on their tenth anniversary. Until that moment she knew the one who her husband truly loved was her sister. They even kissed in front of her when she was dying. 

After she was reborn, she replaced every coin she ever gave Skiron with worthless scrap and chose another man as her husband. 

Daphne

She is Selene’s demigod sister because she is a half-blood blood with mortal lineage. To win Skiron’s love, she likes pretending to be pitiful. For example, when she walked side by side with Selene, she stabbed her own leg with a dagger and blamed it on Selene. When Skiron saw this scene, she would start pretending to be pitiful. 

She didn't truly love Skiron. As a non-pure-blooded individual, she was not favored by Zeus. She regarded Skiron merely as a tool for her own benefit to help her rise. She obtained Skiron's affection, her favorite person, in order to satisfy her own vanity. When Skiron directly expressed his gratitude for her saving him to her, she could only have mockery towards Skiron in her heart.

Alexander

He is the rival of Selene and her husband after she was reborn. Every time he met Selene, he would fight with her. Everyone thought it’s impossible for Selene to choose him as her husband. However, he was the one who truly loved Selene. Although he was her rival but he never stabbed her through the heart. Actually, playing tricks with Selene was his way to attract Selene’s attention. 
 
He couldn’t watch another man take her hand. So before the engagement party began, he came to Selene’s room early to send her a gift and told Selene he would leave soon. 

In the previous life, he went to war after Selene got married with Skiron and died on the battlefield. So in this life, after Selene wed with him, he wasn’t allowed to engage in the war. But he insisted doing so. So every time he went to war, Selene would pray for his safety.

Episode one

On their tenth anniversary, Selene prepared a delicious meal in person and waited for her husband at the table to have dinner together. As soon as her husband stepped into the dining hall, she stood up to welcome him home. However, when she walked close to him, her husband stabbed her with a sword. The blood came out of her mouth immediately. Selene asked Skiron why she did so with the emotion of both surprise and sorrow. He told her face-to-face fiercely that the woman he loved had always been Daphne. 

Daphne is Selene’s demigod sister. Selene couldn’t understand why Skiron didn’t refuse her ten years ago if he loved her sister. Skiron was more cruel and he grabbed Selene’s neck, saying “You are Zeus’s favorite daughter. When he ordered the marriage, I had no choice. If it weren’t for you, Daphne and I would’ve been together long ago.” Selene begged Skiron not to kill her and promised that she wouldn’t tell her father what he did. 

At that moment, Daphne came out and told her that she wouldn’t see her father again. Selene realized that her father had been plotted to death. The two, Daphne and Skiron, even kissed before Selene who was dying.

She shed tears of remorse. It was only after ten years that she realized her husband had hated her so deeply. Her foolish love destroyed her father. Gradually, she lost her consciousness. When she opened her eyes again, she went back to the day when she chose her husband. Her father knew she loved Skiron so he decided to write Skiron’s name on the notification. When Zeus ordered the subordinate to tell Skiron the news, Selene stopped him and chose another husband instead. 

Episode two

However, the husband she randomly chose was her worst nightmare. They had fought with each other fiercely. Once she picked the most beautiful flower in the garden, Alexander turned the flower into ashes with magic. It made Selene very angry. And also, Alexander even grabbed the desserts Selene prepared for Skiron away. 

Watching the picture of Alexander, Selene recalled Alexander’s fate in the previous life. He went to war after she married Skiron and died on the battlefield. After that, they never met again. Her father was also surprised at her decision. 

She thought in her mind Alexander was her rival but he never stabbed her through the heart. If the fates had given her a second chance, then she would have made a different choice this time. 

Everyone outside the court guessed that Selene chose Skiron because Selene loved Skiron so deeply and the one Selene wouldn’t choose was Alexander because they fought whenever they were in the same room.
