Walking Alone in a Dream

[Strong Female Lead + Everyone Ends Badly + Second Male Lead Takes Over + Clean Romance + Childhood Sweethearts]
My fiancé's first love was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and she had a request:
She wanted me to give her my planned wedding, and even asked me to officiate their wedding.
I watched her wear the wedding dress I had sewn by hand, adorn herself with the jewelry I had meticulously chosen, and walk arm-in-arm with my fiancé into what should have been my marriage hall — considering she was a dying woman, I endured all of this.

But she went too far and tried to take the white jade bracelet left to me by my deceased mother, which was too much!
At the auction, my sleazy fiancé protected her as they continuously raised bids, inflating the price of the bracelet to 200 million.
Drained of my assets by my vampire-like family, I was powerless and could only watch in agony as the family heirloom fell into the hands of those despicable people —
Suddenly, a cool and elegant voice arose: '300 million.'
The whole room was shocked.
The low-profile and mysterious heir of the Carter Family, Daniel Carter made an astonishing bid, 'The auction item is a gift to Eldest Miss Miller.'

I retrieved the bracelet and thanked Daniel Carter, 'Mr. Carter, I will repay the 300 million to you as soon as possible.'
Daniel Carter frowned and gently asked, 'Lily Miller, don’t you remember me?'

The Billionaire Stands Up for Me

I nodded: "Absolutely, as a distinguished alumnus like you, the school leaders will definitely accompany you."


He smiled modestly: "Dealing with them is exhausting too, I just wish for some freedom."


I teased, "That's the trouble of successful people. For ordinary folks like us, being spectators is good enough."


Daniel Carter was embarrassed by my praise, he looked down and laughed, then suddenly said: "On the day of the anniversary, we can return to the alma mater together."


"Huh? I was planning to take the subway, do you want to come along?"


I imagined the centennial celebration, surely grand, and the roads around the school would be jammed completely.


For safety considerations, the school wouldn't allow so many outsider vehicles in, so taking the subway would be more convenient and faster.


"You're going to dress nicely to squeeze into the subway?" Daniel raised an eyebrow slightly, then said, "I'll pick you up that day, my car can enter the school from the north gate."
