Our heartbroken protagonist was engaged to his fiancée for five months when his older brother, who was already married, had an affair with her. After his brother was banished from the family, the protagonist’s mother and sister shockingly supported the affair and even attended the remarriage. Now, years later, our protagonist has found love again, but he’s not sure if he can forgive his mom and sister for their betrayal.
