Chapter 1

I’m the only daughter among six wealthy families’ wives, all of whom were pregnant at the same time.

On the day of my birth, the other five ladies were filled with envy. They even got into heated arguments over who would become my future mother-in-law.

My mother, feeling helpless, agreed that when I turned twenty-two, I would choose a fiancé from among the younger generation of the five families.

In my past life, I chose Lucas without hesitation.

After all, everyone knew I'd been infatuated with Lucas for years and had pursued him relentlessly.

But one day after our marriage, he died in a plane crash, leaving no remains behind.

I was devastated with grief.

Until I saw "dead" Lucas on the street with my own eyes, pinning Melody—a student I'd sponsored—against a wall and kissing her.

In that moment, I finally understood. Lucas had fallen for Melody long ago.

He'd even gone so far as to fake his own death to elope with her.

After discovering the truth, I fled in panic, only to be hit by a car.

The two of them stood across the street, watching coldly as I died.

In the end, it was Sullivan—who'd been at odds with me since childhood—who arranged my funeral and shed tears at my gravestone.

After my rebirth, when my mother asked me to choose a fiancé, this time I chose Sullivan.
