Chapter 1

On my Valentine's Day wedding, six different men showed up at my door, each with a child in tow.

They all swore the kids were mine.

They even pulled out DNA test results.

My fiancé, Daniel, arrived late and saw the scene, then lashed out, hitting me.

The six men joined in, punching and kicking me.

Until my last breath, I had no idea. I didn't even know these men. How could I have had children with them?

When I opened my eyes again, it was February 13th.

The day before the wedding.

"Goodnight, babe. Sleep tight. Tomorrow, you'll be the most beautiful bride in the world. Love you"

Daniel hung up the phone. The dial tone in my ear made me realize I had been reborn.

In my previous life, Daniel and I were so in love. Before the wedding, he wouldn't even dare to touch me.

He cherished me like a fragile treasure.

But on our wedding day, when those six men slandered me, he didn't listen to any of my explanations. He just started hitting and kicking me.

The fear in my heart was greater than my disappointment.

The most important thing now was to cancel tomorrow's wedding.

When I knocked on my parents' bedroom door, a flicker of surprise crossed their eyes.

"Eliza, why are you still awake so late?" my dad asked.

"Mom, Dad, I'm canceling tomorrow's wedding."

"What?!"

"What?! No way!"

My mom's reaction was really strange.

They had never said a harsh word to me my entire life, almost always giving me whatever I wanted.

Maybe my request today was just too unreasonable.

My dad patted my mom's shoulder reassuringly and then looked at me.

"Eliza, canceling a wedding isn't just 'saying' it. Some distant relatives are already on their way, and the hotel food is all prepared. You can't just cancel it like that."

"Did you and Daniel have a fight? You're such a spoiled girl, it's our fault for letting you get so headstrong."

I looked at them calmly, "Daniel cheated on me."

In my last life, he not only didn't show up on time for the ceremony, but he was also late to the altar, and he had obvious hickeys on his neck.

"How could that be? Are you overthinking it?"

My mom's gaze was incredibly cold.

Normally, if I'd told her Daniel cheated, she'd immediately drag me to his house to confront him.

"Anyway, I'm not going to the wedding tomorrow. You guys contact the hotel and cancel it."

My parents had handled all the arrangements for Daniel's and my wedding.

Daniel's parents had passed away, and his older brother and sister-in-law had put him through college.

"If you suddenly cancel the wedding, where will your dad and I ever show our faces again?!"

That phrase sounded so familiar.

In my last life, when those six men slandered me, and everyone around us was pointing fingers,

My mom had said, "How could you do something so shameful behind our backs? You've completely ruined your dad's and my reputation!"

Back then, I was so busy trying to refute those men that I completely missed my parents' abnormal behavior.

"How about this, since you and Daniel aren't legally married, let's just go through with the wedding. If he really did cheat, it won't be too late to break up with him afterwards."

My dad kept shooting glances at my mom.

She agreed with him.

"I've already posted in the family chat. No one's coming tomorrow."

With that, I turned and went into my bedroom.

Reborn, nothing was more important than my life.

This time, I was definitely staying far away from those inexplicable men.

I spent the entire night in a nightmare.

Early in the morning, my bedroom door was pounded violently.

"Eliza, get out here! After what you've done, you have the nerve to lock your door!"

It was my mom's voice.

I had a terrible feeling. I couldn't open that door.
