Livia Hazel always thought that she just lost to Adrian.
Losing to him a healthy body, a calm mind, and a justifiable right to inheritance, and losing to him a word of "poor health", she can take away the military supply line that has been running for five years from her hands.
It wasn't until the real Miss Hazel, Rosalind, returned that she realized that even her hatred seemed transgressive.
She is not the daughter of the Marquis, she is just a fake that was picked up.
Identity, power, parents' love, and even the engagement with Cassian, the duke's heir, will all be taken back bit by bit.
Adrian watched her defeat with cold eyes, but refused to really let go.
Cassian's gentle and holy skin hides blood and desire, but he becomes more and more fascinated by her malice.
But Rosalind, the real daughter she was most jealous of, rescued her when she fell into the water and took her to bask in the sun when she was in a panic.
Livia once thought that she could only be a broken knife in this life.
Later she learned that some people forced her to admit the pain, some lured her into the abyss, and some people would pick her up from the shadows and bring her back to the sunshine.
Purpose: Even if you have been swallowed up by jealousy and unwillingness, you can still learn to admit pain, understand others, and move towards a more complete self.
