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.

At the auction, my sleazy fiancé protected her as they continuously raised bids, inflating the price of the bracelet to 200 million.

"Have you sorted out the issues with your family?" Amid my random thoughts, Daniel and his sister casually began to chat about my situation.


I nodded, "It's more or less settled. Anyway, my father has been arrested, and the evidence is overwhelming. I consulted a lawyer, and he'll definitely have to bear legal responsibility. It's just a question of how many years he'll get. But no matter what, he's definitely returned to square one overnight."


I thought, if the tax authorities impose severe penalties, he might even end up in debt, making it impossible to recover in this lifetime.
