My Ex-Fiancé Forced Me to Marry a Dying Old Man, Now He's Begging for Me Back

Synopsis

At my sister's engagement party, her fiancé's drink was spiked, and he stumbled into my dressing room by mistake. To cover up the scandal, our two families brokered a deal: we would swap places. I would marry her fiancé, and my sister would take my place in the arranged marriage to the Sterling family. Rumor had it that the Sterling patriarch was on his deathbed, and this marriage was nothing more than a contract to keep a dying old man company in his final days. On the day of the wedding, my sister Vanessa swallowed a bottle of pills. Sebastian, her fiancé, blamed me, convinced I had manipulated the entire situation out of jealousy. For thirty years of marriage, I endured his coldness and humiliation. Right before I died alone in a hospital bed, his final words to me were delivered as a message: "Nora, stay away from me in the next life." When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the engagement banquet. Sebastian stood a few feet away. The moment our eyes met, I knew he had been reborn too. He spoke up before anyone else could. "The wedding is being moved up. I am marrying Vanessa. Nora will fulfill the marriage contract with the Sterling family." The banquet hall fell dead silent. Every pair of eyes turned to me. I lifted my chin, meeting the mocking, pitying stares of the crowd. "Fine. I'll marry him."
