"People always told me life was about second chances, but no one ever said they’d come in the form of a wedding gone wrong. I promised my father I’d be strong, but when my best friend betrayed me and my fiancé humiliated me on what was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, I broke. I died… and woke up at the very moment everything fell apart. This time, I won’t let them ruin me. When Jaewon, my cheating fiancé, tried to drag me back into his web of lies, I made a choice that shocked everyone: I proposed to his older brother, Heeseung. The cold, enigmatic CEO who had always seemed untouchable, and the man I’d underestimated for far too long. Marrying Heeseung wasn’t just a spur-of-the-moment decision. It was my way of rewriting my destiny and taking control of a life that had spiraled out of my hands. What I didn’t expect was the way he looked at me—as if I was more than just a pawn in this game of revenge and redemption. As if I mattered. Now, I’m navigating a world of power, betrayal, and unspoken feelings. But one thing is clear: I’m no longer the Yuna who was crushed under the weight of heartbreak and deceit. I’m stronger, smarter, and ready to fight for the life I deserve. And if anyone—especially Jaewon—thinks they can stop me, they’re about to learn just how wrong they are. This is my second chance, and this time, I’ll make every move count."
