This Time, I'm Winning the Lottery

When I got reborn into my youthful years, I turned down the marriage proposal of Seth Klein, the future major general. Instead, I chose to be with Nathan Prescott, who lived a poor life.

My mother thought I was possessed. After all, the entire village knew that I, the village chief's daughter, used to follow the well-educated Mr. Klein around all the time. Apparently, I was willing to do anything just to marry him.

I soon recalled what happened in my previous life. After I married Seth, we never consummated our marriage. He even brought back a child, claiming that said child belonged to a fellow soldier who had passed on in the war.

I viewed the child as my own and made an effort to raise him. It wasn't until our fiftieth anniversary that I discovered a secret after barging into Seth's study, which had always been forbidden to me.

It turned out that the study was plastered with photos of my older cousin, Catherine Parker—the most beautiful woman in the village. The thing was, she had been dead for a long time.

The truth was, Seth has always been capable of performing in bed. He was merely practicing abstinence because of Catherine.

Furious, I collapsed and was admitted to the hospital. But my son, whom I treated as my own, was the one who unplugged my life support with his own hands.

"If it weren't for you taking over my mom's position as the actual wife, she wouldn't have died as an unknown mistress!"

After my death, I witnessed Seth getting a joint burial with Catherine as husband and wife. As for my ashes, they were randomly scattered into a dried-up river.

Now that I was reborn, I chose to fulfill their wish!

On the third day after I changed my marriage prospect, I happened to meet Seth Klein on a slow wagon that was set toward the town.

As soon as Seth and some other well-educated people from city saw me, they began mocking me.

"Hey, Seth! Callista really is your lapdog! She's using your scent to track you down!"

"Callista, why are you still following Seth around so closely even though your wedding is already set in stone? Must you tag along with him even though he's traveling to town just to buy something?"

Upon seeing me, Seth's patience vanished.

"Callista, are you that eager to marry me? To think that you gave your family the green light to proceed with the wedding preparations without obtaining my permission! Now, the entire village knows that I'm about to marry an uncultured bumpkin! You really are something!"

My heart froze momentarily when I saw the look of disgust on Seth's face. A moment later, I retorted, "I never needed your permission anyway. You're not the one I'm marrying, after all."

As soon as my voice fell, they began guffawing loudly on the wagon. A few of them, who were quite close to Seth, were laughing so hard that
