Prologue
< Exclusive interview with the Saint's Close Helpers, Talking about the Greatest Wedding of the Century! >
The hours of agony seemed endless.
“I went through all these difficulties just to read this one article...
Adaline pressed her index finger to her wet eyes. The painful days flashed before her eyes in an instant, like a person who is near death, his whole life flashes before his eyes.
The front page of the newspaper was full of a special article about the “Wedding of the Century,” decorated with all sorts of colorful phrases. The Saint’s radiant smile, as always, attracted attention.
A flawlessly bright smile.
Adaline even wanted unbearably to kiss that smile.
It was worth it.
Adaline sacrificed her life for this article.
“Well, that’s how the world works, isn’t it?” He who does not take risks does not win.
Social death or something like that?
Adaline chuckled as she folded the newspaper.
"Adaline Bertrand" died five years ago.
Or, to be more precise, she faked her death.
Adaline gave up everything she had achieved in life and lived on the run solely to ensure the success of The Wedding of the Century.
“The world where I was reborn is similar to the world from the novel I read in my past life, and being a villain is a common story.”
Initially, I didn’t know that this was the world from the novel. At first I decided that I had simply been reborn.
At about three or four years old, Adaline remembered her past life as easily as if she remembered yesterday's dinner menu. She could not remember exactly how she died, but, naturally, she understood that she had been reborn.
And this didn’t surprise her much.
After all, everyone is able to remember their past life while they live, right? If you have an excellent memory, then this is possible, right?
The parents she found in her second life turned out to be quite literate and intelligent people, but they were somewhat stubborn when it came to their youngest daughter.
They were convinced that their youngest daughter should have everything she wanted and that she would certainly live the most brilliant life possible. They did everything possible to achieve this, and one of these things was her engagement to the handsome and rich eldest son of the Duke.
A decision that sent her daughter's life into the abyss.
- I didn’t know either.
Who would have thought that this handsome young duke would be involved, who would later win the heart of the Saint at first sight and become the protagonist of the romance of the century.
When Adaline was nine years old, she learned the truth about this world, but she was not at all surprised.
After all, everyone is able to remember their past life while they live, right?
If you have an excellent memory, then this is possible.
Even if I knew that my death was predetermined, I would have been a little scared, but everything was fine.
Because I'm still alive.
I.
- That's right! Because I've been reading romance novels for n years! Besides, I was reborn!
In her past life, Adaline was an avid bookworm and read novels in a variety of venues.
It was a time when hit-and-miss novels were at their peak, which is why Adaline read hundreds of them. Various roles appeared there, but mostly they were villains and minor heroes.
Lessons learned from the protagonists of hundreds of romance novels!
Never fall into the trap of useless romance!
This is the most dangerous trap into which countless people have fallen, dooming themselves to fall into the abyss.
Since realizing her past life, Adaline has made a lot of efforts to avoid falling into this trap.
Instead of avoiding the engagement, she stated that she would happily give up this status at any time!
“For the sake of true love, you shouldn’t stick to formalities, Shane.” Let us not forget that we are engaged out of necessity and by mutual consent.
I treated the sudden appearance of the Saint with the greatest respect!
— Before the Lord, what does power and status mean? Please protect this world.
She brought order to the surrounding chaos, managing to save even a child who was in mortal danger.
- Come with me. I will be a place for you to stay. I will never leave you.
She sacrificed herself while pretending to exhibit a noble spirit of self-sacrifice to save the Saint.
- No, Adaline! Don't die!
- Goodbye...
And so she left the stage.
The performance of that day won all the awards for best actress at all film festivals.
All this was done in order to see the end of the story.
End.
Happy ending.
And from then on they lived happily ever after.
The same line.
- Be happy everyone! I'm disappearing, leaving!
While I'm gone, please experience the fruit of love, embrace the radiance, and meet the end!
Take action!
