She gave up her dream of shining on the ballerina stage —for him.
 
She sacrificed her self-respect —for him. 

She forgot her true identity —for him. 

But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart.

Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. 

So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away. What she didn’t expect was that in breaking free from Ryan, she had opened the door for Aiden to enter her life — a chance that he had been waiting for.

“Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

Arwen didn't understand what Gianna was trying to ask. With furrow between her brows, she asked, "What are you implying to say, Anna?"

Gianna's eyes shone with excitement. She quickly shifted into a better posture and turned to Arwen to explain her question better. "I mean to ask you if you knew my uncle from before? Like, you didn't just meet him outside the Civil Affairs Bureau; you have known him before."

Although she always had the feeling of familiarity, it still didn't seem possible. She didn't know him before. It was only that day, outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, that she met him.

"Anna, how can that be possible? I told him I had met him in the Civil Affairs Bureau. Do you think I would lie to you about it?"
