Mabel was originally the daughter of the wealthy Grant family. However, her happy family was torn apart when she was eight. Since then, her days were hard and challenging.

Three days before my wedding, Adrian canceled it for the fifty-second time. He came to the Palermo workshop to approve my gown’s crest embroidery, but the moment I stepped out from the fitting curtain, he snatched up his holster and radio. “Torino bastards smashed Bianca’s vineyard, surrounded the estate. Lia’s terrified, so I have to go. The wedding is off.” Once, I would have stopped him and demanded to know who mattered more to him, me or Bianca. This time, I simply let him go. Thirty minutes later, Bianca posted an Instagram Story: [You’re the only shelter for me and my daughter.] The photo showed Adrian holding Bianca close, with Lia in his arms, calling him Dad. They looked like a real family. My parents sighed. “Seraphina, is the wedding in Hawaii off again? We’ve already sent the invitations to every renowned Italian family. What will this do to the Bellini family’s honor?” I shook my head, tapping the backup invite. "The wedding goes on. In three days, I’ll still be a bride. Just not Adrian’s."

"In the golden farmlands of Jianghuai, everyone believed Rafael Moretti had given up power for love. The wealthy farm owner walked away from a profitable marriage alliance just to marry Natalia, a tenant farmer’s daughter. Natalia believed it too—until the day the truth shattered everything. While she had been trying for a child, Rafael had kept a second home with his childhood sweetheart Lilith Rizzo. Together they had twin sons who shared his eyes. Natalia left the hospital and went straight to her oldest friend Emilia. “Help me,” she said. “When the predicted locust plague hits three days from now… I need a boat to sink.”"

"Three days before her eternal blood-binding, Sarah’s bridal shop goes up in flames. Lord Marcus stays by her burned body with gentle hands… while secretly ordering Sunlight Essence to destroy her Blood Core so he can raise his secret fledgling with his true lover Rachel. Sarah wakes as a Broken Vessel. She smiles, pretends to accept her fate, and quietly vanishes on the night of the ceremony by staging her own death. When the news reaches the altar, Marcus shatters.

When Jonathan Shaw brings his seventh pregnant mistress to me for the delivery, his friends start taking bets on how long it'll take before I break down. But even after the baby's cries echo through the delivery room, they never hear me lose control. "Come on, this is the seventh one. Are you sure she isn't done with you this time?" Jonathan shrugs. "She can't have children, and I've got a family legacy to carry on. I'll end up having kids with other women so they can inherit the family business either way. I might as well have a few now and let her get used to it." As soon as he finishes speaking, I walk out carrying the newborn. Following standard procedure, I announce, "Congratulations. He weighs seven pounds, six ounces. Both the mother and the baby are doing well." Jonathan smiles as he takes the baby from my arms. Then, he hands me a divorce agreement. "Sign it," he orders. "It's just an act to humor her. She refuses to have our second child unless I divorce you first. Once the second baby's born, we'll have eight kids." I've gone along with his little charade seven times already. This time, I sign my name without hesitation. Jonathan seems to have forgotten one thing. It's not that I can't have children. We're just genetically incompatible. If I want a child, I just have to find a different man. Why would I spend the rest of my life raising someone else's children just to stay married to him?
