Reborn, I Married the Village Idiot
My mom wanted to marry me off to Lachlan Walker, the town’s simpleton, for money.
I resisted with all my might and jumped into the deepest lake in the village.
Lachlan lost his life trying to save me.
I survived, only to be despised by everyone in the village.
My brother died in a fight because he couldn’t afford school, my mom went crazy, and my dad threatened to beat me to death.
In the end, I jumped into that lake again.
When I woke up, I had been reborn to the day Lachlan came to my house to propose.
Lachlan Walker was simple–minded but the best–looking man in town.
His family had moved here five years ago, supposedly because a fortune teller said that if they lived in this town for six years, Lachlan would escape disaster and might even regain his senses.
I learned all this in my past life when the whole village cursed me after Lachlan’s death.
The Walker family had made significant contributions to the village and were highly respected in town.
Now, Lachlan wasn’t dead yet, and I hadn’t become the village pariah.
Lachian walked through our broken doorway, a chicken in his left hand and a fish in his right.
“Brynn, wife, for you!” he said.
My mom took the items from Lachlan’s hands, grinning from ear to ear, and urged me to go for a walk with him.
