Chapter 1
My husband had been poisoned with an aphrodisiac, and when he dragged Princess Sophia Clair into the woods, I acted as though I saw nothing.
In my previous life, I had thrown myself in their path, desperately trying to stop him.
But in the end, it was I who had my gown violently torn apart–he ravaged me without mercy.
When the scandal broke, I became the laughingstock of all Caerwynd and the shame of my family.
“Who would’ve thought the daughter of Caerwynd nobility could be such a wanton, desperate creature?”
To avoid execution, I was forced to marry Leopold.

But even after marriage, I miscarried every time I conceived. The world whispered that I was diseased, that I couldn’t carry a child to

My father, hoping to soften Leopold’s heart toward me, poured every effort into advancing his
But in return, he was falsely accused of treason, and our entire family was executed.
When the news reached me, I went into early labor from the grief and hemorrhaged terribly.
The princess, face twisted in rage, smashed my newborn to the ground.

your punishment!”
I stood at the edge of the woods, listening to the sounds from within, and slowly curled my lips into in traini
What a shame it would be if I were the only one to witness this disgraceful farce.
“Leo… please… what if someone sees…
From the depths of the woods came sultry moans and ragged gasps, thick with lust.
smile.
Princess Sophia Clair’s gown was half–loosened, revealing her pale–pink corset. Her snow–white chest heaved under Leopold’s fervent
movements.
Pinned against a tree, she wore a look of coy resistance, feigned and flirtatious,
Leopold, aroused by her act, lost all restraint. He lunged at her, planting red marks along her neck and chest like a trail of blooming plum blossoms.
“Miss, what are we to do?” my maid Alice fretted, wringing her hands.
“Mr. Beaumont has only just been chosen as Chancellor. If Her Majesty finds out he defiled her daughter, she’ll never let him live!”
I bit down hard on my lip, swallowing the fury rising in my chest, and turned away from Alice.
I had once believed Alice to be my most loyal maid–we grew up together like sisters.
But in my past life, it was she who had secretly drugged me again and again, causing my miscarriages.
“We grew up side by side. I’m no less than you–why are you the lady, and I the servant?”
“The princess promised that once she marries Chancellor Leopold, she’ll help me rise into the nobility. I won’t be a servant forever!”
And it was Alice who handed my only surviving child to Sophia, watching coldly as she smashed the infant onto the ground.
“Miss, why are you hesitating? Go stop them!”

Alice’s face flushed crimson with anxiety, but her eyes gleamed with malicious glee. She wanted me to barge in, to be ravished by the drugged Leopold, to lose all honor.
But this time, not only would I not stop them–I would help Alice’s twisted fantasy come true.
Choking down my murderous rage, I wrenched my gaze away.
“Alice, I’ll go stop them. You go fetch my mother–but be dicet. This is a scandal, after all ”
I deliberately acted panicked and urgent.
“Remember–do not alert anyone else. Especially no men!”
Alice eagerly agreed, unable to conceal the triumphant smirk tugging at her lips.
She had done the same in the past.
Back then, had my mother
arrived alone, the scandal could have been suppressed.
But Alice, consumed with envy, had brought the entire banquet to witness the spectacle.
Everyone saw Caerwynd’s most brilliant young lady pinned half–naked beneath the new Chancellor.
My father, the First Minister of the realm, collapsed on the spot.
To shield me from punishment, I was married off to Leopold.
To please him, my father promoted him tirelessly–only to be falsely accused and executed with the whole family.
When the news reached me, I bled out from early labor. The child I barely saved was handed to Sophia by Alice… and smashed before
very eyes.
That blood debt would be repaid in full.

Since Alice was so eager to cause a scene-
I would gladly help her set the stage for this disgraceful drama.
