“I was giving birth to twins on a rotting cot in the slums, treated like a worthless outcast. My contract mate, Warlord Jake Ellis, completely ignored my emergency pleas for help. Instead, he was spending the night at his mistress's manor, publicly claiming she was carrying his pure silver bloodline. He even used his Warlord pressure to remotely crush my distress signal in the sky without reading it. The clinic medic mocked me, leaving me to bleed. "A woman without a ring deserves to have her bastards thrown into the wild woods to rot." I was left to deliver my two babies with my own bloodied hands in the freezing cold, completely abandoned. For three years, I had secretly poured my hidden life force into soothing his violent spirit every single night. I endured his cold contempt and his clan's abuse just because the cheap testing stones deemed me "Spiritless." I didn't understand why I had to suffer like a nameless parasite when I was the one secretly keeping him alive. Until the Chief Healer of the Great Council kicked open the clinic door. A high-tier testing stone revealed I wasn't Spiritless at all. "You are no outcast. You are the lost trueborn daughter of House Stafford, the first-tier High Clan of the Crown." With the most powerful family in the realm now standing fiercely behind me, I calmly took the severance contract straight to Jake.”
