When news of my arranged fiancee's death arrived, I didn't cry or make a scene. Instead, I quickly reclaimed her shares and had the death certificate issued. I did it because I've been reborn. In my past life, Dad was worried that women would eye my fortune as the heir to the wealthiest family. So, he arranged for me to marry one of three women he personally picked. I chose the most outstanding one, Monica Harris, and married her. However, just three days after our wedding, she died suddenly. Heartbroken, I was persuaded by the remaining two women to give up on marriage and remain single for life. At 80 years old, when I returned to our special place in Sunmere Valley to reminisce, I saw Monica. She should have been dead for 60 years!

The shock sent my blood pressure soaring, and I died of a stroke on the spot. When I opened my eyes again, I was transported back to the day I died. This time, I'm going to find out exactly how someone who's supposedly dead keeps on living.

Sebuah pesan masuk ke dalam gawaiku, tak ada firasat apapun saat itu. Dengan santai pesan itu kubuka. Sebuah foto yang dikirim oleh nomor tak dikenal. Mataku membulat sempurna, tak percaya dengan apa yang kulihat, hingga berkali-kali aku memperhatikan bahkan sampai men-zoom foto itu sedetail mungkin, takut jika mata ini salah menyimpulkan. [Maafkan saya, Bu!] tulis si pengirim foto. Aku tak menghiraukan pesannya, butir demi butir air mengalir dari sudut mata, mengaburkan penglihatan. Menandakan bahwa foto itu membuat luka didalam sana.
