Reborn, I Called Off the Wedding. Now He Regrets It

--- Short Story ---

I've always been obedient and well-behaved.

My elder sister married the Crown Prince, and Mother wanted me to marry Prince Qin.

Even though I knew Huo Chen loved my sister, and even though my heart belonged to someone else,

when Mother told me to marry him, I did.

Until, on his deathbed, Huo Chen asked me, "Do you regret marrying me?"

I shook my head.

Huo Chen gazed at the bed curtains and murmured, "I regret it. If only... if only..."

I understood what he meant.

The Crown Prince was dead, and my sister was a widow.

He had married me, so there could never be anything between him and my sister.

Back to the day Mother arranged my marriage.

I, always so well-behaved, summoned all my courage and resisted for the first time: "This is the one thing in my life I do not wish to do."
