When a ruthless corporate war stripped Isabella of everything she held dear, she was forced into a loveless contract marriage with the Alpha she despised most—all to save her father. The cold, unyielding bond became her prison, suffocating her as bitterness and resentment festered. Just when she thought her life would be an endless cycle of pain, her former lover, James, returned to rescue her.  

But salvation came at a deadly price. Betrayed and lured into a fiery death by the man she once loved, it was her despised husband who risked it all, diving into the flames to save her. In her final moments, the lines between truth and lies blurred. Was her savior the one she hated or the one she trusted?  

Before the fire consumed her, Isabella made a desperate plea to the Moon Goddess: Give me one more chance... let me rewrite my fate!

When she opened her eyes, the impossible had happened—time had turned back to one year before！

Contracted to the Alpha

The auction hall buzzed with quiet conversations, clinking glasses adding to the murmur filling the space. Despite the earlier encounter with Alex, the evening continued as if nothing had happened. But for me, the tension was still there, hovering like a cloud. I could feel Alex’s eyes on us, his gaze burning into my back, and though I tried to ignore it, it unsettled me. Chloe, seated next to him, looked far too comfortable in his company. In my previous life, I had never noticed any connection between them. 


I didn’t have time to dwell on it. The auction was about to begin, and I had to focus. My mother’s necklace was on the list, and I couldn’t let myself get distracted by Chloe’s schemes or Alex’s smirks.
