After Marrying a Vegetative State Patient, the Gentle Childhood Love Regrets It Wildly

After the Thorne family went bankrupt, my stepsister, Vanessa, and I were thrown into a strange selection process for a substitute bride.

Whoever was picked would be married off to the comatose eldest son of the wealthiest family.

Vanessa was destined to be chosen.

While I, bound by a family agreement, was set to marry Alex Sterling, my childhood friend who'd been in love with Vanessa for a decade.

In my last life, he begged me to undergo nine IVF procedures, and I finally conceived a boy and a girl.
