After the Marquis's Household Forced Me to Abort the Emperor's Bastard, the Whole Family Went Mad with Regret

The emperor was traveling incognito when he stepped into a hunting trap. I traded the favor of saving his life for a promise that he would give me a child.

Who knew the marquis's household would force me to abort the child so I could take the place of their fake heiress in a marriage?

By the time the young emperor found me, they had already made me drink safflower, and my whole body was covered in wounds.

The people of the marquis's household, once so haughty and conceited in my presence, now knelt prostrate on the ground, begging me to spare their lives.
