Marchioness Harriet Goldlane, a talented noblewoman, made a deal with Old Duke Almandine. To save her younger brother, she was willing to become a substitute for Liam's 'mate', the grandson of the Old Duke. Liam was an Alpha whose 'mate' died long ago. He was severely injured and had been living without a heart for a long time. He could only wake up from his sleep when there was a full moon.

The Old Duke and Liam himself guessed that the man would die soon due to his worsening condition. Because of that, Old Duke wanted Harriet to give birth to an heir to the Almandine Family from Liam's seed so that their family would have a new leader.

The Alpha's replacement bride would soon find that she was in love with the dying man and now they both wished for a miracle to save Liam's life. Could she fulfill her duty to bear the next Alpha for the Almandines? Would Liam survive to protect his bride and family?

The Alpha's Replacement Bride

"...you see... this is a bad habit of mine. I gambled my money and lost them, then acquired some from odd jobs, then gambled them away. It's good to have some good friends who could lend you some money too... to eat. I never gambled my friend's money..." 


Orcenal's ramble made it even more awkward. 


"Does Harriet know...?" Liam carefully asked. 


"No, no, don't let her know, or she will let me be a leech to her life. So just... let me be," Orcenal said. 


Liam stifled a smile. It seemed that this man treated Harriet as someone who should not experience any grief in life. He shielded her even from his own bad habits and uncoolness because he wanted her to see him as this fun uncle she could rely on... 


"But I wonder, sir... there's something I am curious about," Liam said. 


Orcenal turned his face up and looked at this long blonde-haired man. He noticed his eyes deepened, preparing for a more serious topic. 


"How did you learn the Emperor's swordsmanship?" Liam asked.
