Mr. Wilder wife is a madwoman
They called her "mad."
The woman who once ruled Zhou's halls with laughter and grace now sat hollow in a white cell.
Rose Sallow had lost everything.
Her inheritance.
Her child... her little boy, whose last breath faded against her trembling arms after the poison took hold.
Her husband, Duke Sallow, once sworn to never leave her, now stood beside another.
Lisa Zhou.
Her cousin. Her sister in all but blood
Now the new "Madam Sallow."
She was carrying Duke’s child, the 'heir' he publicly acknowledged as his first child, and Rose's son’s name was erased from the family records.
In the mental hospital room, she laughed when they handed her the divorce papers.
That night, Rose decided to end it all.
But fate, cruel, capricious fate, had other plans.
When her eyes fluttered open, she didn’t find herself among the angels.
She was staring at her reflection in a golden mirror, and on the bed behind her was her wedding gown.
It was her wedding day.
A chance to change it all.
To rewrite fate.
But as she rose from the bed, a shiver crawled down her spine.
There, on the vanity, a note written in red...
"Congrats... You have been granted a second chance."
Then came the knock.
Three slow, deliberate taps on the door.
She froze.
“Lady Rose?” a deep voice called. It wasn’t Duke’s voice. Softer, steadier, yet commanding. “Forgive the intrusion, but… I couldn’t wait any longer.”
She opened the door.
Standing there was a man she had never seen before.
He bowed slightly, eyes dark as midnight.
“Marry me,” he said simply.
In her first life, this had never happened.
No mysterious man. No interruption. No warning. Why now?
