About The Stand-in Bride

Forced by her adoptive family to marry Henry Howard, a billionaire presumed brain-dead, Stella Sterling discovers on their wedding night that he is merely feigning incapacitation while plotting revenge against his treacherous uncle. They strike a deal: she will cure his poison, and he will grant her power. Together, they dismantle his uncle’s schemes. However, when Stella’s jealous stepsister Vivian steals Stella’s heirloom jade to impersonate the lost heiress of the wealthy Grant dynasty, Stella publicly exposes the fraud and severs ties with her biological family. Soon after, a woman named Rose claims to be Henry’s savior and frames Stella for attempted murder. Blinded by guilt, Henry locks Stella away, leading to a staged accident where Stella is presumed dead. Five years later, Stella returns as the chairwoman of a global financial empire, accompanied by her genius twins, Lucas and Luna. Henry, who has spent years mourning her, recognizes her and desperately seeks redemption. While the children initially prank him, the family unites when Rose kidnaps the twins. Henry takes bullets meant for the children, proving his devotion. Stella reveals herself as the legendary healer "S" and saves Henry. Following his recovery, the family reconciles. Henry transfers his shares to Stella, and they welcome new twins, finally finding peace and love together
