“Your marriage was just a game.” Those were the words that shattered Aurora Snow’s world. Five years of marriage. Seven years of sacrifice. Seven years of love… that turned out to be a game. For seven years, Aurora Snow believed her husband was a poor, crippled man who needed her. She worked endless menial jobs, gave up her dream scholarship, and carried the burden of their family just to support him and their son. Until the night she delivered a package to a luxury party… and discovered the horrifying truth. Her “crippled” husband stood tall among billionaires. And the lavish party? It was for the woman he truly loved. To make things worse, Aurora learns her entire marriage was nothing more than a cruel test—an amusement between young wealthy elites to see how far a "principled woman" could suffer for love. Heartbroken and humiliated, she demands a divorce. But fate has other plans. After nearly drowning in despair, Aurora wakes up in the mansion of a cold and powerful billionaire—Damon Stone, a man feared in the business world and plagued by a dangerous secret, a condition that no medicine can cure.

And in return, he will give her protection, power, and a home for her broken family. Aurora agrees. But the deeper she enters Damon's world, the more shocking truths begin to surface. The silent little boy in his mansion… The mysterious night she cannot remember… And the baby she thought she lost forever. Because the greatest betrayal of her life was only the beginning. And the man she married to escape her past might be the one fate chose for her all along.

It was our tenth anniversary, and I thought Joseph Lynch was finally going to propose to me. However, I accidentally saw the texts on his phone and realized what a joke I had been these past ten years. [It’s our first anniversary. Darling, I want you to spend time with me.] That woman uttered such sweet and intimate words, which I rarely said to Joseph. [I’ll give her some sleeping pills before I see you.] I could not believe Joseph would say such a thing. My fingers trembled as I scrolled down their conversation. [Don’t marry her. Marry me instead!] Then, she sent him a cute and attractive photo of her. She looked like a student. [Let’s see how you behave tonight. I bought you some new lingerie. Be good and put them on. Wait for me next door.] I was wearing some ill-fitting undies while sitting in bed. Right then, I was filled with bitterness. It turned out that Joseph had bought these undies for someone else.

My sister, Anna Hawkins, and I are twins, but I'm slightly heavier than her when we were born. Anna has always been weak and sickly since young, whereas I'm always active and healthy. When Anna was four years old, she was diagnosed with leukemia. Mom blamed me for stealing Anna's nutrients when I got born, so I needed to return the nutrients to her. When I got my blood extracted for the first time, a thick syringe was used on me. I was so scared when I saw it. Mom told me not to be scared. She gave me a magical pen, stating that whatever wish I wrote down with the pen would come true. I wrote, "It won't hurt." When the syringe was plunged into my arm again, Mom bought me a sweet lollipop. The pain never struck me again afterward. When I was five years old, I drew a strawberry cake on the paper while getting 1000cc blood withdrawn from me. That week, Anna could sit up in bed and play on her own. When I turned seven years old, I wrote down my wish that I'd like to go on a vacation. The next day, I was sent into the operating theater for the doctors to collect my hematopoietic cells. For the first time ever, Anna's cheeks became rosy. When I was eight years old, I wrote that I wanted to become the top student of my grade. But a day before my exams, my bone marrow was drawn from me. Anna finally got discharged by the hospital. She got to wear new dresses that I never got to wear. In the year I turn nine years old, my body is heavily depleted. With a trembling hand, I can only write down a line in messy handwriting. "I hope… that I won't become Mom's daughter in my next life."
