As a princess sent away for a political marriage, I saved an orphan girl.
But on the eve of my wedding, she claimed the title of princess destined for the marriage before I could.
She drugged me and poisoned my throat, leaving me mute. She even peeled half the skin off my face with her own hands.
After severing the tendons in my arms and legs, she threw me to the soldiers to be used as a military brothel worker.
On her wedding night, she whispered to me, "If it weren't for your empress's destiny, I wouldn't want your disgusting face at all!"
"But today, I'll personally send you on your way. This secret must be buried forever!"
I closed my eyes, furious and bewildered.
When I opened them again, I was back on the day I saved her.
