Chapter 1

He Chose the Princess. I Found My Empire.

Liam Taylor and I traveled back in time.

In my past life, I was the adopted sister he personally brought home from the orphanage.

Later, I became his wife, and we stayed together until old age, our love deep and profound.

This life, when Liam's parents smiled and beckoned to me like before, wanting to take me home, young Liam, however, suddenly stepped forward, blocking their view:

"Dad, Mom, don't choose her. I want the girl next to her as my sister."

He grabbed Chloe, the girl standing next to me – the one who, in the previous life, died from illness before she turned ten. When he turned to look at me, his gaze was as cold as a winter blade:

"You took Chloe's place, causing her to die young. This life, it's your turn to suffer what she went through."

I understood everything in an instant.

So this time, he wanted to be the hero, protecting that fragile "princess."

"Will you come with me?" Mrs. Caldwell stood before me, her voice gentle.

I looked ahead – the man who had walked hand-in-hand with me for decades, now leading another girl, walking away without a backward glance.

I nodded softly.

Fine by me.

This life, I wanted to try a different path too.
