After Rebirth, I Accept The Arranged Marriage Novel

Jessie Sterling, reborn after a traumatic past where Julian Grant broke his promise and abandoned her on her birthday, severs her feelings for him entirely. She enters into a strategic marriage with Victor Morgan, the heir to a prestigious century-old family in Aethelburg, despite their vastly different personalities drawing skepticism from their social circle. What begins as a mutually beneficial arrangement with expectations of polite distance transforms unexpectedly. When friends unexpectedly visit their Four Joys Courtyard home, they witness a shocking scene: the powerful businessman kneeling while meticulously painting Jessie's toenails with nail polish. When she playfully demands another coat, Victor responds not with frustration but with a passionate kiss, declaring that her lips need color instead. The visiting guests freeze in astonishment, realizing the newlyweds' relationship is far from the respectful distance they had anticipated. What appeared to be a cold marriage of convenience has blossomed into genuine affection and intimacy between the unlikely pair.
