Love was never supposed to find them like this. For Lisa Manoban, love was always a dream stitched in quiet fragrances and fleeting moments-the kind of forever she once believed in, the kind she bottled in perfume, hoping someone would one day understand. On her wedding day, she waited to be given away, to surrender her future to a stranger chosen by family, her heart caught between obedience and silent rebellion. And then the groom ran away. For Jennie Ruby Jane, love had always been a rumor, a whisper she never trusted. She had inherited empires and obligations, but never intimacy; she knew the weight of expectation better than the warmth of devotion. Cold, untouchable, and unwilling to bend-Jennie had promised herself she would never belong to anyone. And yet, on that same day, she was asked to replace the man who fled. Two women bound not by choice but by circumstance. Two hearts pressed into vows neither wrote. In a world where silence cuts sharper than words, and longing lingers longer than perfume, they must learn whether love can grow in the spaces between heartbreak and hope. This is not a story of perfect beginnings. This is a story of vows rewritten, of glances that hurt and hands that heal, of two souls who were never meant to collide-yet did. This is the story of Her Replaced Bride.

Jennie Kim didn't fall in love. She conquered. Men, women, investors, rivals-everyone bent eventually. That's what power did. That's what being the youngest CEO of Kim Royale Hotels meant. She was untouchable, unreadable, ice wrapped in silk. And she liked it that way. Until the night she met Lisa Manoban. Lisa was supposed to be temporary. A designer flown in with pretty sketches and naïve dreams. Someone Jennie could use for her Paris project, then discard when the job was done. But then Lisa smiled at her in that first meeting. Not nervous. Not impressed. Bold. Defiant. As if she saw straight through Jennie's ice and found something worth mocking. No one laughed at Jennie Kim. No one dared. That should've been the end. A firing, a replacement. Easy. But something about Lisa's fire made it impossible to look away. Impossible to forget. And Jennie hated it. Because Lisa wasn't just a distraction. She was temptation wrapped in loyalty, beauty painted in rebellion. The kind of woman who made Jennie's carefully built empire feel fragile. The kind who could ruin her. Jennie Kim didn't believe in love. But she believed in one thing the second she looked into Lisa Manoban's eyes- If she wasn't careful, this woman would be hers. And if Jennie claimed her, she'd be mine to break.

Jennie Kim is the perfect senior, class president, top of her class, and known for her sharp tongue and killer confidence. Everyone admires her from afar, but no one dares to get too close. That is... except for Lisa Manoban. Lisa, a junior and the heartthrob of the dance team, seems confident around everyone except Jennie. Around Jennie, she turns clumsy, red-faced, and quiet, especially when Jennie leans close and calls her "baby." What no one knows? Behind closed doors, Lisa is trying to get Jennie's attention... and Jennie knows exactly how to make her squirm.

"If you still want to be with me, I'll stay by your side..." Lisa firmly said, her voice steady but heavy with unspoken emotions, as if she were standing on the precipice of a life-altering decision. Jennie blinked, caught off guard. Her breath hitched in her throat, and she struggled to gather her thoughts. "H-Huh?" she stammered, a whirlwind of nerves churning inside her. "Do you still have feelings for me?" Lisa asked, her gaze piercing through Jennie with an honesty that left no room for evasion. "W-What?" "Do you still like me, Jennie?" In that moment, time seemed to stand still. Jennie's heart raced, each beat echoing in her ears like a distant drum. Fear and hope collided within her, creating a tempest of emotion. After a moment that felt like an eternity, she nodded, breathless. "Yes." Lisa held her gaze, the silence stretching between them as if the weight of their shared history hung in the air. Finally, she spoke, her tone resolute. "I regret it, Jennie..." "What do you mean?" Jennie's confusion deepened. ...I regret the time we've wasted apart... "Let's be together," Lisa declared, her voice unwavering. "I don't need you to do anything. I don't need you to promise me forever or to stand by me without fail. If the day comes when you want to leave me...when you want to walk away, then let's part ways. But right now, at this moment, let's choose to be together." After ten long years of searching and thousands of miles of being alone, it turns out... ...the only thing Lisa truly wanted was to be with Jennie. ••• This is merely an adaptation.
