Falling Apart, Falling In Love

Synopsis

"Rita, you've filed 99 marriage applications. Now you finally got what you wanted?" Andrew's voice was still as cold as ever. I jerked my head up, only to realize I had returned to the very day we got our marriage license. Andrew, my childhood sweetheart for fifteen years, was shoving the marriage license into my tote bag. In the previous timeline, I stormed into the regiment and caused a scene because Andrew had fallen for Maisy, the rich heiress sent for re-education. I didn't care about anything else and filed 99 marriage applications. Under all that pressure, he finally gave in. But Andrew actually faked a marriage license just to keep himself pure for Maisy. I held onto that fake certificate, thinking he'd finally changed his mind about me. I had his kids and even gave up my chance to study abroad. It wasn't until his last recorded wish, right before he died, that I found out he wanted to be buried next to Maisy, who'd already been gone for half a year. Even the kids I'd struggled to bring into this world were moved by Andrew's devotion to Maisy. They forced me to bow in front of Andrew and Maisy's graves, making me apologize for ruining the life they should've had together. That video got posted online, and I was torn apart by the internet for a whole year. In the end, I just couldn't take it anymore and jumped off the rooftop. Now, I found myself back on the day I got that fake marriage certificate. Andrew, this time, I would let your affection be fulfilled. Being Mrs. Patton? Not interested. I would live my own life.
