Description：

Claire Ashford is the heiress everyone loves to hate: rich, demanding, and supposedly obsessed with Ethan Carter. In the previous timeline, she gave Ethan everything she had, from a no-limit black card to his mother's cancer treatment, while he stayed emotionally devoted to his childhood sweetheart, Sophie Bennett.



Then Ethan returns to the past.



He remembers six years with Claire, the luxury she provided, and the life he built on her money. He also remembers every argument and every reason he believed she was unbearable. Certain that history will repeat itself, Ethan confesses his feelings to Sophie and waits for Claire to come running with another rescue.



But Claire can see the floating commentary that labels her the designated villainess and Ethan the destined male lead. More importantly, she remembers enough to know exactly what loving him will cost.



This time, Claire keeps her black card in her wallet. She refuses to pay his tuition, settle his debts, or save him from the consequences of his choices. Instead, she turns toward Julian Whitmore, a composed heir who offers her a future built on mutual respect rather than reluctant gratitude.



As Ethan's carefully remembered life begins to collapse, he realizes the woman he thought would always wait for him is no longer interested in being second choice. But by the time regret catches up with him, Claire may already have everything she wanted without him.
