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

I stumbled to my feet as the smoke parted like curtains on a darkened stage. The figure stepped forward, forming more distinctly from the haze. For a frightful moment, I wasn’t sure if those purposeful strides really seemed familiar or if it was just wishful thinking. Wasn’t sure if those broad shoulders bearing the Royal Guards’ crest were the same as I’d seen hundreds of times before or if they were a remnant of a dream I hadn’t dared to hope for.


At first, I couldn’t move, and my lungs, already ravaged by the smoke, were hard-pressed to do their job.


I didn’t say his name out loud. There was a senseless sort of fear that pounded in my veins at the thought. As if doing it would cause the smoke to swallow him up again.


There was no semblance of the man I had left in the hospital. No remnant of pale fragility. This Ethan was whole. Moving. Alive.
