For Better or For Worse

Lady Dillion is a spirited and bold noblewoman who remains entirely unaware that she is destined to be the villainess of a romance novel. Her oblivious existence shatters the moment she crosses paths with Marquess Cedric. The encounter abruptly awakens a long-dormant memory, flooding her mind with the tragic plot of the story: her cherished younger sister is fated to marry the Marquess, only to perish during childbirth shortly after their union. Refusing to let such a devastating fate befall her sibling, Dillion takes drastic measures to rewrite the narrative by stepping into the role herself. She weds Cedric in his place, binding them together in what she considers a mere marriage of convenience designed solely to protect her family. However, this selfless act comes with a heavy burden, as she is acutely aware that the Marquess is ultimately meant to fall deeply in love with the novel's true heroine down the line. As Dillion navigates her new life alongside a man whose affections are supposedly reserved for another, the boundaries between duty and genuine emotion begin to blur. What unfolds within their unexpected union defies every prediction she made from the pages of the original story, proving that neither bride nor groom can foresee where their intertwined destinies will truly lead.
