The Strange Groom's Cursed Bride
She was told that she was cursed.
Perhaps she didn't need to be told. It was as clear as day.
The only thing she wanted was MONEY. And she would do anything to get it.
Even if it meant assuming the identity of her twin sister to change her fate.
For one year.
She didn't mind being a fake for one year and marrying the Wildfire Heir. He would barely be around, she had been told.
'He doesn't seem like much trouble,' she had also been told.
'The third son, on the other hand, is crazy. Stay away from him.'
'As for the second son... avoid him at all costs.'
'Do not cross his path.'
But she did. She crossed his path. In fact, she went right into his path herself.
And as if that wasn't bad enough, the groom was changed at the last minute.
To the Second Son!
He was as hot as he was cold.
A terrifyingly sexy man who looked like the man she always saw in her dreams. Was this all merely a coincidence?
But that wasn't all. She hadn't expected pretending to be her sister to be this tough. First of all, she missed a very important detail: her sister was a Lawyer. She, on the other hand, was only familiar with "You have the right to remain silent..."
Secondly, her sister was picky. She was vegetarian. She didn't drink. And... she was bullied? And just maybe... there was more to her sudden disappearance.
Her life was about to get much more complicated. Especially with those piercing blue eyes watching her every move like a predator on a mission.
One year.
Was the benefit worth it—worth putting her life on the line to deceive the Wildfires?
She might die before the One Year was over.

The longer she stood there, the more her anxiety clawed at her insides. Part of her hoped he wouldn't show up at all. Maybe he'd decided to call it off. Maybe she could walk away from this whole ordeal. But no. If he didn't come, everything would be pointless. She would lose it all and return to wallow in the North.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the creak of the large doors at the back of the room swinging open.
All eyes turned.
And for a moment, time seemed to stand still.
A young man entered. He was tall, strikingly good-looking, but he exuded an aura that screamed danger—a man who might shoot someone just for daring to look at him wrong. And she wasn't exaggerating. He held a massive gun in his hand, pointed downward as he strode into the room like he owned the place.
Alice instinctively took a step back, her breath catching. He didn't look familiar. What was going on? Was this a wedding or the start of a fight? Had he come to kill someone here... or worse, her?
Had they figured out she was an imposter?
But before she could spiral further, someone else entered the room, his movements slow, deliberate. Smoke briefly obscured his face as he exhaled his last puff and handed a vape to the armed man beside him.
Hades.
Alice had expected him to show up eventually. What she hadn't expected was the overwhelming wave of anxiety that crashed over her the moment she saw him. Her chest tightened, and her heart pounded so hard she thought it might explode.
The room had fallen completely silent. Almost everyone was staring, wide-eyed, no longer whispering. Their shock was evident.
Like they hadn't expected him to be there even though it was supposed to be his brother's wedding.
Hades' gaze locked on hers. His dark, intense eyes bore into her.
Why was his older brother— her groom—not here yet? Hades sudden presence had spiked her anxiety. She wanted to run away.
Except...
Hades began to walk towards her.
"Welcome to the wedding ceremony of Hades and Aurora."
