Reborn Wife: I'll Chase Happiness Instead of My Husband
[BRONZE WINNER IN THE CUPID'S QUILL MAY 2026 CONTEST]
My first life ended when my husband's mistress fatally stabbed me and pushed me off a bridge. I died choking on my own blood in a murky lake...
***|***|***
In the eighth region of the Northern Realm, I, Sophia Pagemoore, was raised by cold-hearted scholars who preferred sons over daughters. I was sold, or if you prefer, married to Jace Willowmarch because his family could open Imperial doors for my father and brothers.
Despite knowing each other our whole lives, Jace has never liked me, much less loved me. Even before we were wed, he brought home his mistress to live in our marital home. I spent three miserable years in an unconsummated marriage longing for the heart of husband who didn't want me.
However...
After I'm murdered, I'm reborn three years earlier, just a few months into my failed marriage with Jace Willowmarch. (Damn it. Why couldn't my rebirth begin before I married that gaslighting bastard?)
I decide I won't chase my husband's love or fidelity (because I will never get either). This time around, I won't put up with the green-tea bitch, the cheating spouse, or the nasty Nobles who bullied me. I refuse to be trapped in a life I never chose in the first place.
Instead, I'll chase my own happiness.
Unfortunately, getting rid of my husband (and his horrible mistress) turns out to be a bigger challenge than I imagined.
And then's there Duke Nathan Stonehart. He walks into my second-chance life and swears he will love only me forever and always. (What? Where did he come from?) It turns out my destiny had been altered by greedy people trying to protect themselves and their secrets.
Nathan is determined to help me rewrite my story, and with his undying devotion I might just be able to avoid my previous fate.
And find my own happily-ever-after.
