After rejecting two marriage partners, I went crazy
Bound by an engagement contract, my father brought back two brothers from a fallen wealthy family, allowing my sister and
me to choose our husbands.
Caleb, steady and talented, fell for my sister the moment he saw her.
I looked at Jax, whose legs were both broken, and sighed. A soft heart led me to accept him.
After we married, I searched for renowned doctors, hoping to heal his legs.
But his condition never improved. He grew depressed, and I gently comforted him.
I thought if I was good enough to him, he’d become cheerful and positive.
Yet, on the day our enemies attacked, he stood up from his wheelchair and pushed me out, using me as a human shield.
“I’m sorry, I can’t just stand by and watch Seraphina die.”
So, if Seraphina couldn’t die, I was expendable?
He gave me one last, deep look, then slammed the door shut..
“I owe you this life, I’ll repay you in the next!”
Tears of despair streamed down my face. Turns out, his disability and depression were just an act, meant only for me.
When I opened my eyes again, I heard my father telling my sister and me to choose our husbands.

I stared at the people before me, hatred seeping from my very bones.
My sister, Seraphina, glanced at the steady and talented Caleb, then turned to me, her face full of gentle consideration.
“My little sister is still young and a bit spoiled, How could I let you marry Jax, who’s crippled? I’ll choose Jax, it’s fine, really.””
She’d said the exact same thing in my past life.
I was so incredibly touched back then, believing she was the best person in the world. To spare her any hardship, I refused.
“Sister,” I’d said, “you and Caleb share a deep love. How could I break you two apart?”
I forcefully chose Jax, the disabled brother.
sought doctors and medicine for him for seven years. I knelt on countless temple steps, my forehead raw from bowing. begging for his recovery.
Then, our enemies attacked our home. My wonderful husband, the man I had meticulously cared for seven years, stood up from his wheelchair and, without hesitation, pushed me out to draw their fire.
“I’m sorry, I can’t just stand by and watch Seraphina die.”

“I’m sorry, I can’t just stand by and watch Seraphina die.”
He didn’t even give me time to react before he slammed the heavy door shut
My sister, on the other hand, had dozens of bodyguards and a secret passage! She just needed to run a few more steps to meet up with Caleb.
She’d claimed she wanted to protect me first.
But after I was pushed out, she didn’t call anyone to save me.
I died, and she got all the praise.
Thinking of this, I forced a smile.
“Then let’s switch.”
The air instantly froze.
Seraphina’s gentle expression stiffened.
Caleb snapped his head up, blurting out, “No!”
My father’s face darkened too, his stern gaze sweeping over Jax and me.
“Nonsense! How can your elder sister marry a cripple?”
A chill pierced my heart, bone–deep.
So, you knew marrying a cripple was unacceptable.
Last life, when I chose Jax, he didn’t say that.
He said I was sensible, considerate, and a good daughter of the Sterling family.
Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out.
“I am not a cripple.”
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, Jax slowly stood up.
His posture was tall and straight, his aura commanding.
I stared at him, my blood feeling like ice.
He was faking it from the start?
So, what was all my sleepless nights searching for doctors and medicine for?
What about the good luck charm I begged for him, kneeling on nine thousand steps, bowing at each one?
