LOGINWhen I was twenty-two, my grandmother’s best friend Emma Bray—the richest woman in the country—places several photos of her granddaughters in front of me. She wants me to select one of them as my wife. Surprisingly enough, I decide to choose Raven Bray. Everyone is stunned, to say the least. After all, they all know that I have a crush on Lenora Bray instead. The feelings I have for her are so strong that I've decided that she's the only woman I'm willing to marry. In the previous life, I got to marry Lenora as I wished. She was able to inherit most of the assets from her grandma thanks to the marriage. But after our marriage, Lenora cheated on me with my older brother, Jerome Hatfield. Enraged, my parents sent Jerome overseas. Lenora thought I was the one responsible for Jerome's disappearance, so she hated me with all her heart. Since then, she had kept a bunch of lovers by her side. All of them resembled Jerome in a way. Because of that, I became severely depressed. To make things worse, Lenora swapped my medication out for poison. Eventually, I died because of the slow-acting poison. Now that I'm reborn, I decide to grant Lenora and Jerome's wish of being together. But what I don't expect is… for Lenora to be reborn as well.

The wedding proceeded as planned after a few simple stitches.Later, I heard that once Lenora was sent back to the Bray residence, Emma flew into a rage. "Keep an eye on her! Unless absolutely necessary, she's not allowed to leave!"…That night, Raven and I shared a quiet smile after all the guests had left. Neither of us said a word. It was the kind of tacit understanding one would only see in lovers who had been in love for years.Later, as we lay intertwined, she softly asked, "Andre, aren't you going to ask if I can actually bear children?"My heart ached for her as I replied, "A woman doesn't exist just to carry on the bloodline, so that question is just pointless."That was when I realized that she had heard the ugly rumors too, so I added, "I love you, Rae. I'll always love you the way you are."She laughed softly. "The rumors are fake. Grandm
On the wedding day, I was up before dawn.I arrived at the church with friends and family, only to be stopped at the door by a swarm of bridesmaids who refused to let us in.After a few rounds of games, the bridesmaids finally relented."You can go in, Mr. Hatfield, but you have to answer one last question. Can you promise to love only Rae for the rest of your life?"Holding the bouquet, I smiled and probably looked foolishly happy. "Does that even need asking? I'll spend my life loving her. There won't be any work wives, confidantes, or soulmates—just her."If I ever break that vow, the Hatfield family will go bankrupt, and I'll end up sleeping on the streets."No one expected such a ruthless oath. The bridesmaids were instantly embarrassed and quickly ushered me inside.When I entered, Raven stood in the front center of the church in her wedding dress. She shot me a reproachful look and chided, "They were just joking. You didn't have to make such a harsh vow.""I won't ever b
When I returned home, I found Jerome standing on the balcony. He heard the door open and shot me an impatient glare."You're quite the strategist to use a woman's possessiveness to provoke Lenora, Andre. Too bad she doesn't care at all, so everything you've done is pointless."Besides, everyone knows that Raven is an orphan who can't bear children. Are you trying to wipe out the Hatfield family line?"I was about to respond when the housekeeper cried out, "Isn't that Ms. Bray? Andre, come quick and look!"I rushed to the window and saw Lenora across the street. She had stretched a long banner across the path outside our yard, captioned with the words, "I love you, Andre. Let's get married!" Balloons bobbed everywhere.Holding a microphone, she shouted my name at the top of her lungs, "Andre, come out! I know you're waiting for me, so I'm here!"A crowd had gathered to watch the spectacle, buzzing about the tangled drama between our families.Before I could say anything, Jerome
I smiled and said, "I don't know why Lenora would say that, Emma. I've always seen her as a younger sister, and she's always been close with my brother, Jerome. Everyone knows that she loves him, not me."Lenora's eyes flew wide. "I love you, Andre! Not Jerome!"Then, she burst out laughing. "I get it now! You're jealous and upset that I gave the watch to Jerome on your birthday, so you're using Raven to piss me off, aren't you?"I expressionlessly snapped back, "Stop it. Rae is the only woman I love."My words only seemed to push Lenora further over the edge. Her face twisted with rage as she lunged at me."You can't get engaged to anyone else. You can only marry and love me."Before she could reach me, Raven pulled me firmly to her side. "Today is Grandma's birthday, Lenora. I suggest you not turn this into a complete disaster. "Andre chose me."Lenora responded with a disdainful spat, "Who do you think you are to talk to me? You're an orphan with no parents—what right do yo
