Because of the nature of my work, I rarely had the chance to interact with people outside my job.My mother was convinced something was off with my personal life, so she arranged a marriage for me. On the wedding day, right as I was about to change and go onstage, I found my gown dumped in the trash. My fiancé's secretary shoved a bridesmaid dress at me. “I'm the bride today. You expect me to wear this?” “Quit talking. Mr. Cooper said I'm taking your place for the whole wedding.”I stood frozen for a few seconds, then pulled out my phone and called my fiancé. “Blair Cooper, are you seriously not going to give me an explanation for replacing the bride at the last minute?”He hung up before I finished. I just stood there, stunned. So this wedding doesn't need to continue.

Yuna loved her father’s friend, Julian, for ten years, but three years ago, Julian was drugged and forced to sleep with her, making him believe she had planned it all. After they married, Julian remained cold no matter how hard Yuna tried to please him. A month into their marriage, he took Mia and Bella abroad for three years, ignoring Yuna and their biological daughter, Sophie. Even after returning, Julian openly favored Mia and Bella. At a kindergarten family day, he stood by as Bella called Sophie a “bastard” and refused to acknowledge her as his daughter. When Bella pushed Sophie into a pool and nearly drowned her, Julian saved Bella first and used his influence to secure the city’s medical resources for her. Sophie only survived because Yuna’s father pulled strings to get her treated. Heartbroken, Yuna cut ties with her old life and took Sophie overseas. She built a successful career, her father stayed by her side, and Sophie grew up happy. Julian eventually regretted everything and chased after them, begging on his knees for forgiveness. But Yuna and Sophie refused to take him back. After that, Julian’s company went bankrupt, and he ended up either in a car accident or in prison—the ending was unclear. Meanwhile, Yuna and Sophie began a new life by the sea, knowing they no longer needed anyone else.
