In her previous life, she bowed to love, gave way for her family, and compromised for everyone, only to end up with nothing.
Given another chance, the first thing she learns is to stop explaining herself and stop trying to please everyone.
She breaks off her engagement, changes tracks, and builds her career. She doesn't put a foot wrong.
She never expected that the man who was always so calm and self-controlled would choose to stand by her side when she was at her clearest.
In this life, she lives only for herself.
As for what anyone else thinks, it has nothing to do with her.
