7 TEARS OF FATE CHAPTER 1

TAE’s POV

I have lived six lives… but none of them have led to a happy ending.

In my first life, I was greedy. I was jealous—furious—that someone unknown had suddenly appeared and tried to seduce my prince. I let my anger consume me, tormenting that person to the point where I tried to take their life with my own hands. But in the end, it was my fiancé who killed me.

In my second life, I was reborn—back to the time before they had even met. I thought perhaps God pitied me, granting me another chance. I used it well, making sure they never crossed paths. But fate is cruel, isn't it? Despite everything, they met once more, fell in love, and I was executed by an unknown man for daring to interfere.

The third time, I returned further—back to my childhood. I wasn’t bright, nor was I ever favored by my family. To them, I was nothing more than the son of a duke and a lowly maid he had taken by accident. In that life, I didn’t make it far. I died after drinking poisoned tea—delivered by the hands of our own servants.

In my fourth life, Furthermore, I ran. I ran as far as I could, desperate to escape them and live quietly, far removed from their world. But even that path led to ruin. I was caught by human traffickers and sold to an old man who— …I became filthy. I couldn’t bear it, so I took my own life.

The fifth time, I woke to sunlight. I was alive… again.

Why?...

I broke down, trembling and weeping uncontrollably. The people around me thought I was playing the victim. In my despair, I grabbed the knight’s sword by my bedside and plunged it into my heart. I didn't think anything but to just go for an afterlife...

Free from this misery life...

Yet, here I am. Alive once more. This is my sixth life.

After everything, I finally decided to end everything... But something made me more determined than ever to escape the fate that haunts me. I succeeded. I avoided every red flag, every thread of doom that once unraveled my existence.

Furthermore, I found someone—a man who truly loved me. We built a family together, and I gave birth to our son. Yes… I can give birth. I thought, perhaps, this life would finally be different.

But fate… still has not let me go.

They took him from me. How much more must I endure?
