My Second Chance, His First Heartbreak

Synopsis

On the day of my coming-of-age ceremony, my uncle, King Joshua Lancaster, placed the names of several princes before me and told me to choose one as my husband. Without a second thought, I picked Prince Richard Lancaster. Everyone present was stunned. After all, everyone in the capital knew that I, Camille Hughes, the daughter of Chancellor of the Royal Academy, had been obsessed with Prince Edward Lancaster since I was a girl. When I was barely a teenager, I once blurted out in front of the King that I would marry no one but Edward. In my previous life, I got what I wanted and became Edward's wife. Three days after the wedding, he was already wrapped around my half-sister Renee Hughes. My mother was furious. She pressed my father to marry Renee off at once, and he did—to one of his students, before anyone could say otherwise. Edward blamed me. He was convinced I'd schemed behind the scenes. From that day on, he hated me like poison. From then on, he brought woman after woman into the house. All of them had the same eyes, the same smile as Renee. He let them mock me, humiliate me, and treat me like dirt. The day he took the throne, I was slowly poisoned to death. Given a second chance at life, I decided to stay far away from him and let him have Renee. But when the King's order was read aloud, naming me as Richard's fiancée? Edward lost his mind and defied the King.
