Father, I Don't Want to Get Married

Awakening in the body of Juvelian, the novel’s tragic villainess, is a cruel joke. She knows her fate by heart: despised by all, scorned by her fiancé, and ultimately cast aside by her own father to meet a lonely, miserable end. But with the knowledge of her impending doom burned into her mind, she refuses to play the victim any longer. In a decisive break from her predetermined path, she shatters her engagement and abandons the exhausting, futile quest for her father’s approval—the very pursuit that led to her ruin in the original story. Instead of seeking love or validation, Juvelian charts a new, selfish course. With her father’s vast wealth now her primary tool for survival, she vows to indulge in the life of opulence and pleasure that her title as a duke’s daughter affords her. Yet, just as she begins to savor her newfound freedom and plan for a future of pampered luxury, her cold, indifferent father makes a shocking move that upends all her plans. He is not content to let her live in peace and has begun actively searching for a new suitor to marry her off, throwing her carefully constructed world into chaos. Forced to navigate this dangerous new game of political maneuvering and paternal manipulation, Juvelian must find a way to protect her own happy ending—this time, on her own terms.
