Severing The Fated Dragon Bond Forever

“I spent ten years acting as the dutiful Duchess of Carlisle, loving my husband Gideon with everything I had. But because of a single fabricated tear from his beloved "white moonlight," Haylie, he personally dragged me into the family dungeons. As I choked on poison in the freezing dark, the sickening truth was finally revealed to me. The daily health tonics my husband lovingly prepared for me were actually a potent contraceptive. He chemically ensured I would never conceive, keeping his bloodline pure for his mistress. His mother constantly berated me for my barren womb, and his sister openly tried to feed me deformed beast blood. Whenever I begged Gideon for help, he simply blamed me for being unreasonable and left me to be humiliated by the entire capital. I died completely alone in agony, my body withered and broken. I couldn't understand why he would marry me just to use me as a disposable shield, destroying my life while playing the noble hero. Opening my eyes again, I was twenty years old, back in the very first year of our marriage. Looking out the window at Gideon embracing Haylie in the rose garden, my heart was as cold as a frozen lake. "I want the Rejection Ritual." Ignoring his thunderous fury, I calmly packed up my dowry and began plotting my way into the royal palace to save the dying Dragon King.”
