She was nothing to him, just a pawn, a joke, a girl broken by his cold heart. Humiliated, abandoned, and forgotten, she died with nothing but regret. But fate gave her a second chance. Reborn five years earlier, on the very day she signed that humiliating contract marriage, she swore she would never be weak again. This time, she’ll play the game her way, bold, unstoppable, and untouchable. She’ll rise, she’ll fight, and she’ll make him pay… for every tear, every insult, every moment he made her feel small. The cold billionaire who once crushed her will soon discover: the girl he discarded is no longer his to control… and the price of underestimating her will be heartbreak. Can he win her heart before she leaves him broken, or will she finally have the revenge she deserves?
