The Price of Happily Ever After

EnglishPublished Oct 30, 2026

The Price of Happily Ever After is a serial in English. Parts 1–3 are printed here in full; the story continues from Part 4 in the official app.

From Part 4 the story is in the official app — the code is in the bar at the bottom of the page.

The story

Sarah Summers has spent years quietly in love with Ethan Cole, the wealthy, handsome second male lead of someone else's story. When Chloe Vance, her best friend and Ethan's adopted sister, urges him to marry, Ethan proposes to Sarah without affection, saying that if it cannot be Chloe, anyone will do. Sarah accepts, knowing she is only a stand-in and that his heart belongs to Chloe.

As the wedding approaches, Sarah becomes Mrs. Cole in name only. Ethan keeps his distance, telling her plainly that he will never touch her and that she should not hope for more. Chloe, meanwhile, plays the innocent friend, while Ethan's eyes still follow her. Sarah must decide how to live inside a marriage built on someone else's wish, carrying a secret crush she can never confess.

Can a supporting character ever step out of the shadow of the female lead?

Opening

I am the female lead's best friend.

In the original ending, the female lead paired me off with the wealthy second male lead, Ethan Cole.

Ethan said, "If Chloe wants me to marry you, then I will grant her wish."

"But when Chloe changes her mind, we will divorce."

I swallowed the words on the tip of my tongue.
