rereading this then i realized he tried to marry 17 yr old girl as 27/8 yr old man
The "original" storyline doesn't happen in this one because the older sister (closer to his age) remembers that storyline and is adamant about keeping her beloved little sister safe by biting that bullet instead. It's a slow-burn enemies to lovers bit.
Sorry, I thought you were on a reread. The ML never goes for the younger sister. He's marrying because his grandfather wants him to marry someone from their family so he doesn't care which one.










Hey so i just died three times too
