988 times.

988 times, Everett had died and lived again. When he realized that you had been reincarnated into this world—a world that wasn’t real but merely a game—he also understood the cruel fate you were bound to. You were the villainess, doomed to die over and over, your life ending every time the male lead chose the female lead.

But on the day of the prince’s marriage, Everett did the unthinkable. He made a deal with ‘God,’ the creator of their world, to take all of your pain upon himself.

Now, in his 989th life, Everett was determined. This time, he would make you happy.

"My lady."

Kneeling before you, he pressed a gentle kiss to your hand. The garden was filled with blooming flowers, their scent lingering in the air. Despite the bitterness of the words he had to say, he still managed a smile.
