I Became The Bride He Hates
All I wanted was to read a novel before going to bed.
But when I opened my eyes, I found myself trapped inside the very story I'd been reading—as Eleanor Genevieve Rose, the villainess destined to die at the hands of her own husband.
And the worst part?
I knew exactly who that man was.
Duke Edward Alistair. The handsome duke adored by every woman in the empire, yet incapable of loving his own wife.
In the original story, Eleanor married him after her older sister fled on their wedding day. She loved Edward until she lost everything, while he watched her die without a moment's hesitation.
I had no intention of sharing her fate.
“I will never love you,” Edward declared after our wedding.
I offered him a faint smile. “Good. Because I have no desire for your love either, Your Grace.”
My plan was simple: survive, build my own fortune, and leave the husband who wanted nothing to do with me.
Until a mysterious system appeared and ruined everything.
[Main Quest: Make Duke Edward Alistair fall in love with you within 365 days.]

Chapter: A Question Without An AnswerEleanor’s POV“Eleanor, what exactly do you know about my father's death?”The question left me speechless.Three hundred and sixty-five days.To Duke Edward Alistair, that number clearly meant something far more serious than a simple measure of time. Judging by the way he was staring at me, he seemed to think my words were a clue that I knew some secret about the Alistair family—or perhaps even something about his father's death.But to me, the number meant something entirely different.Three hundred and sixty-five days was the time the system had given me to make the man standing before me fall in love with me. If I succeeded, I might be able to escape Eleanor Genevieve Rose's tragic fate. But if I failed, I'd die for the second time, without even another chance to start over.That was the only secret I truly knew about the number. I had no idea what it had to do with Edward's father, let alone the agreement he'd just mentioned. But I couldn't possibly explain everything without mak

Chapter: The Duke's BrideEleanor’s POVThe chapel doors swung open, and every conversation inside came to an abrupt halt.I stepped inside, my white wedding gown feeling far heavier than it looked. At the far end of the aisle, Duke Edward Alistair stood before the altar. He looked exactly like the man on the cover of the novel I remembered: handsome, composed, and almost entirely devoid of emotion. As though this wedding were nothing more than an inconvenient task he needed to get through before returning to work.Dozens of eyes followed my every step. I didn’t need to hear the whispers to know what everyone was thinking. The topic of the day was obvious enough: The bride standing beside Edward should have been Isabelle Rose, not Eleanor.When I reached him, Edward offered me his hand. I took it, then heard his low voice.“You’re late.”I turned to him. “By only a few minutes.”“I hate waiting, even for a few seconds.”“Then you’d better get used to it from now on.”His gaze shifted to mine. For a moment, I t

Chapter: The Wrong BrideEleanor’s POV[Reset Process Successful.][Subject Returned To The Starting Point: Eleanor Genevieve Rose’s Wedding Day.][Memory Synchronization Complete.][Welcome Back, Eleanor.]“Lady Eleanor, you must prepare immediately. Duke Edward Alistair is already waiting at the chapel.”I stared at the maid before me, struggling to process everything that had just happened. Moments ago, the executioner’s sword had nearly severed my head. Now, I was back on my wedding day, about to marry the very man who had stood by and let me die.“Lady Eleanor, are you all right? You look terribly pale. Should I call for a physician?”I shook my head. “No need. I’m just a little dizzy.”“Very well, Lady Eleanor.”I looked at her again. “Has Isabelle returned?”“Not yet, my lady. Lady Isabelle has been missing since she left the estate last night.”So everything was still unfolding exactly as it had in the novel. Isabelle had fled, the Rose family needed a replacement bride, and unless I did something now

Chapter: The Night Everything ChangedEleanor’s POV“Wait… am I inside the book I read last night?”I stared at the man standing before me, then lowered my gaze to my bound hands. My white gown was stained with dirt, my knees pressed against the cold stone floor, and dozens of pairs of eyes watched me as though I were the most dangerous criminal in the entire Valedorian Empire.No. This couldn’t be happening.I still remembered my apartment, the heavy rain beating against the windows, and the novel I’d been reading before everything went dark. My chest had tightened, my breathing had grown shallow, and then I’d lost consciousness. When I opened my eyes again, I was in this unfamiliar place, standing before someone whose face I knew all too well.Edward Alistair.Duke Edward Alistair, the male lead of The Duke’s Unwanted Bride.“Eleanor Genevieve Rose,” an elderly man’s voice echoed throughout the hall. “You stand accused of treason against the Valedorian Empire. The evidence gathered indicates that you leaked royal secret
