A marriage arranged years ago, an arrangement broken and a sister left to pick up the pieces - both of the broken arrangement and the broken hearts.
We follow Raven and Ares, two people who’s known each other since they were young. Raven has been madly in love with Ares since they were young, but she couldn’t compete with her perfect sister. Ares and Raven’s sister, Hannah, are set to be married, to uphold an arrangement between their families AND a love match. On the wedding day, Hannah decides not to show, forcing Raven to take her place and fulfill the contract. Raven is forced to marry the man she loves - who’s in love with her sister. I usually keep far away from love triangles, but this was perfectly written, in a way where you only root for two.
