The Day the White Veil Turned Red

On her wedding day, a car veers out of control onto the sidewalk, and the man An Yilin loves most falls at the hem of her white gown—blood spreading across the very white that was meant to mean forever. Shut out of the funeral by his family, she raises the twins he left behind alone, sealing herself inside that blood-stained wedding for a full year. Through the days when she wanted nothing to do with the world, Ji Yunshen simply waited outside her door, never pressing, never lecturing. Then her daughter calls her “Mama,” and something wakes. She steps back onto the design stage she once ruled—only to meet, at a high-society wedding banquet, a face identical to that of her dead fiancé.
