Short filmTranscript
00:00Bear children. I want to bear children with you.
00:03Desperate tears fell, fear attacking me.
00:06I slowly closed my eyes.
00:08Charles.
00:09I only saw the flash of cold light in my eyes,
00:11followed by the pig beastman's miserable screams.
00:15I opened my eyes and saw the pig beastman lying on the ground,
00:19his fate unknown.
00:20Charles stood before me, his half-beast form fully expanded,
00:24his physique bulged by a full circle.
00:27Eyes flew wolf fur covering his arms,
00:29claws like knives, wolf pupils narrowed into a thin line.
00:33Charles picked me up in his arms,
00:35and behind him was Adrian,
00:37whose face could not be seen clearly.
00:38I'm taking joy back. You handle the matter here.
00:41After saying that, he left holding me.
00:43This scene happened so quickly that before Chloe could react,
00:47Adrian had already grabbed her hair.
00:48I heard everything.
00:49Not only do I know, Mother knows too.
00:53That's why she wanted to send you to the Borderlands.
00:55She only wanted to send you away to end that illicit relationship.
01:00Too bad you didn't understand her.
01:03Chloe was stunned.
01:04She hadn't expected that their indifferent mother would plan for her.
01:07We are both her daughters.
01:09How could she favor only me?
01:11She never imagined you would suffer so much in the Borderlands.
01:15Do you know?
01:17When Mother found out,
01:18she knelt at Father's grave for three days and nights without food or water.
01:21If someone hadn't found her, she might have...
01:23Shut up!
01:24You're lying! I don't believe you!
01:26I don't believe!
01:27She screamed frantically, pointing at me, but looking at the low, pig beastman.
01:31She is your mate.
01:33Go.
01:33Let her bear your cubs.
01:37No!
01:38No!
01:39I cried out in fear, backing away with all my might.
01:42The pig beastman untied his waistband and approached me step by step.
01:50Bear children.
01:51I want to bear children with you.
01:53Desperate tears fell, fear attacking me.
01:57I slowly closed my eyes.
01:58Charles.
01:59It was simple.
02:01Remember the fire?
02:03The one that killed Olivia?
02:06I told Adrian that you started the fire.
02:10That I was the one who pulled him out.
02:13I screamed angrily,
02:15You're lying!
02:17She laughed even more maniacally.
02:20I lied!
02:24But he believed me.
02:27To this day,
02:28he doesn't know you saved him.
02:35He doesn't know those burns on your leg
02:38are from saving him.
02:41Since I never planned to let you leave here alive anyway,
02:46I'll tell you everything.
02:49That fire wasn't an accident.
02:52I set it on purpose.
02:54I cried, my voice trembling.
02:57Chloe's smile grew darker.
02:59Why?
03:02Because
03:03Olivia discovered my secret.
03:05I locked the door on purpose,
03:07wanting to burn her to death.
03:09But you discovered it
03:10and called people to put out the fire.
03:12Before she died,
03:14she only gave you the bracelet
03:15and never revealed my secret.
03:18I was truly terrified back then.
03:21Thanks to you,
03:23my dear sister.
03:26You saved Adrian.
03:28So Olivia felt relieved
03:30to leave him for you.
03:33By now I was calm.
03:35Your secret.
03:36Your affair with Adrian's second uncle.
03:38Chloe was shocked.
03:42How do you know?
03:45When I opened my eyes,
03:46I was tied to a tree on the mountain.
03:49My dear sister.
03:50Chloe stepped out of the shadows,
03:52holding a wooden club.
03:53Save your strength.
03:56What do you want?
03:59Chloe slapped me hard.
04:03Why do you get to marry the Lord
04:05while I was tortured?
04:09Look who I brought for you.
04:12A fat figure came in,
04:14grinning,
04:14drool dripping from his mouth.
04:16It was the pig beastman.
04:18Chloe had healed him
04:18and brought him again
04:19to violate me.
04:21I want.
04:24He came closer,
04:25step by step.
04:26I cried out in fear.
04:27Help me!
04:29Chloe, please save me!
04:38I want you to know
04:42the same suffering I endured.
04:49You wanted to know
04:50what was in the letter?
04:54I'll tell you now.
04:57When I opened my eyes,
04:58I was tied to a tree on the mountain.
05:01My dear sister.
05:02Chloe stepped out of the shadows,
05:04holding a wooden club.
05:05Save your strength.
05:08What do you want?
05:11Chloe slapped me hard.
05:13Bitch.
05:15Why do you get to marry the Lord
05:17while I was tortured?
05:21Look who I brought for you.
05:24A fat figure came in,
05:26grinning,
05:26drool dripping from his mouth.
05:28It was the pig beastman.
05:30Chloe had healed him
05:31and brought him again
05:31to violate me.
05:34I want.
05:36He came closer,
05:37step by step.
05:38I cried out in fear.
05:39Help me!
05:41Chloe, please save me!
05:44Help me!
05:46Save me!
05:46Another slap landed hard.
05:50Save you?
05:51Dream on.
05:53I want you to know
05:54the same suffering I endured.
06:01You wanted to know
06:03what was in the letter?
06:06I'll tell you now.
06:09Charles massaged
06:10my reddened wrist with pity.
06:12He wanted to say something,
06:13but stopped.
06:14Seeing his expression,
06:15I buried my face
06:16in his chest.
06:18Since I chose to marry you,
06:20nothing will change my mind.
06:22Charles' body stiffened.
06:24Then he slowly pulled me closer
06:26and kissed my forehead.
06:28I looked up at him affectionately.
06:33Three knocks interrupted
06:34our tender moment.
06:37I hurriedly got up
06:38and opened the door.
06:39It was Chloe.
06:40My face immediately went cold.
06:42Haven't you always wondered
06:43what was in that letter?
06:45Tonight at eight,
06:46come to the back mountain.
06:47I'll tell you the truth.
06:49Just you.
06:51Chloe stood pale at the door.
06:52My heart sank.
06:54I knew she wouldn't have
06:55anything good in mind,
06:55but I still agreed.
06:58I had to know
06:59what that letter said
07:00that cost me my life.
07:07I barely made it
07:08to eight o'clock.
07:09Charles was asleep.
07:15I tiptoed out
07:16and ran toward
07:16the back mountain.
07:17I walked for half an hour
07:19in the moonlight,
07:19but didn't see Chloe.
07:21Chloe?
07:22Chloe?
07:23I called her name softly.
07:26Then footsteps sounded
07:27behind me.
07:28Thump!
07:28Everything went black.
07:30I passed out.
07:32Chloe was the first to react.
07:34She trembled
07:35and pointed at us.
07:36You actually married him?
07:38How is that possible?
07:39Why would the Lord
07:40really marry you?
07:42You should have been
07:43locked away by that pig beastman
07:44until you died.
07:45You should have been
07:45violated and imprisoned by him.
07:47How could you marry him?
07:48That's impossible.
07:48The beasts around
07:49looked at each other.
07:51Adrian also remembered.
07:52In the past life,
07:53by the end,
07:53Charles' family
07:54had been rehabilitated
07:55with immense power.
07:57Adrian wanted to stop me.
07:59Adrian,
08:01before she left,
08:02my mother said
08:02we should not disturb each other.
08:04I hope you remember
08:06what you said.
08:07I am very happy now.
08:10If you have nothing important,
08:12you should go back.
08:14Charles frowned.
08:15You are Joy's family.
08:16Don't worry,
08:17I will take good care of her.
08:19If there's a chance
08:20in the future,
08:22I will bring her back
08:23to the Central Tribe.
08:25Then Charles put his arm
08:27around me and left.
08:28Adrian could only
08:29clench his fists
08:30but dared not stop us.
08:32Because at that moment
08:33when Charles turned,
08:34he released a flash of pressure.
08:36That pressure was ancient,
08:38cold,
08:38crushing down like a mountain.
08:40Adrian's wolf pupils
08:41instantly contracted.
08:42It was the instinctive fear
08:44of a lower predator
08:45facing an apex predator.
08:47He almost tucked his tie.
08:50It was Charles.
08:52When Adrian and Chloe
08:53saw his face,
08:54they were both shocked.
08:55Mr. Adrian,
08:56please withdraw your hand.
08:58Charles stood behind me.
09:00He didn't release any pressure,
09:01just spoke calmly.
09:03His voice was not loud,
09:04his tone even polite,
09:06but Adrian's body
09:07instinctively stiffened.
09:09Charles looked into his eyes
09:10and smiled slightly.
09:12In the borderlands,
09:13I am the Lord.
09:14It is not appropriate
09:16for you to lay hands
09:17on my mate here.
09:18Adrian's face
09:19turned bright red.
09:20His hand hung in the air
09:22and finally he slowly
09:23pulled it back.
09:24Chloe stood to the side,
09:26her expression twisting
09:27from grievance
09:28to jealous rage.
09:30I took the chance
09:31to break free
09:32and threw myself
09:33into Charles' arms.
09:37Are you okay?
09:39Charles' face
09:39was full of sympathy.
09:41He released a calming pheromone.
09:43Even in the borderlands,
09:44I hadn't tanned at all.
09:45My clothes were neat.
09:47I was even wearing new ones
09:48Charles had bought me
09:49on our trip to the market.
09:51Why?
09:51In her past life,
09:52she had lived worse than a dog
09:54in the pig beastman's house
09:55while I remained the same.
09:57Joy, why hide it?
09:58Even better off.
09:59We all know.
10:01Chloe's tone turned sharp
10:02with anger.
10:05Come back with me!
10:06You don't need to degrade yourself
10:07like this to get back at me!
10:09Adrian stepped forward,
10:10took my hand,
10:11and tried to pull me away.
10:12Go back?
10:13I pulled my hand free.
10:14Go back where?
10:15To an empty house
10:16with nothing to miss?
10:18Adrian,
10:19you've already caused me
10:20enough pain.
10:21I've paid the price.
10:23Why won't you leave me alone?
10:25No matter what,
10:27you can't stay here.
10:29Let's talk after we return
10:30to the Central Tribe.
10:31Adrian's eyes were bloodshot.
10:33He grabbed my wrist again.
10:37I resisted with all my might.
10:47Just as we were deadlocked,
10:53a hand gently rested
10:54on my shoulder.
10:57I was carrying meat soup
10:59to the camp for Charles.
11:00At the camp entrance,
11:01Adrian ran toward me joyfully.
11:04Everyone said you got married.
11:06I didn't believe it.
11:07I stepped back
11:07to keep distance.
11:10I am indeed mated.
11:11Did you come all this way
11:12just to prove that?
11:13Adrian's joy faded.
11:15He stood there, stunned.
11:17Chloe held her
11:17barely showing belly.
11:19Joy,
11:20you can't punish yourself
11:21by marrying a wild boar lord
11:23just because you're jealous
11:24I married Adrian.
11:26How guilty will I feel?
11:28What are you talking about?
11:29My mate is not a pig beast man.
11:31Chloe came closer,
11:32saw my appearance clearly
11:34and her eyes darkened.
11:35She gritted her teeth.
11:37Seeing his hesitation,
11:38Chloe clung to his arm again,
11:40pressing close.
11:41Adrian, don't leave me.
11:43I'm scared.
11:44That fire happened in this room.
11:47Adrian's face finally softened.
11:49Don't be afraid.
11:50I'm here.
11:51I will never let you suffer again.
11:53Chloe buried her face in his chest,
11:55a strange smile in her eyes.
11:57In the end,
11:57Adrian never came to find me.
11:59Because the day after their wedding,
12:01my mother transferred her job
12:03to a southern tribe.
12:04Chloe didn't understand and cried,
12:06begging her to stay.
12:07But my mother's decision
12:09couldn't be changed.
12:10Before leaving,
12:11mom said that since both daughters
12:12were married,
12:13from now on,
12:14each should live their own lives
12:15and not contact each other.
12:17A month later,
12:18Chloe announced she was pregnant,
12:20delaying Adrian further.
12:21But in the borderlands,
12:23my life was no worse
12:24than in the central tribe.
12:26The only thing I didn't expect
12:27was that four months later,
12:28I would see Adrian and Chloe again.
12:31Seeing his hesitation,
12:32Chloe clung to his arm again,
12:34pressing close.
12:41Adrian's face finally softened.
12:43Don't be afraid.
12:44I'm here.
12:45I will never let you suffer again.
12:47Chloe buried her face in his chest,
12:49a strange smile in her eyes.
12:51In the end,
12:51Adrian never came to find me.
12:53Because the day after their wedding,
12:55my mother transferred her job
12:57to a southern tribe.
12:58Chloe didn't understand and cried,
13:00begging her to stay.
13:01But my mother's decision
13:02couldn't be changed.
13:04Before leaving,
13:05mom said that since both daughters
13:06were married,
13:07from now on,
13:08each should live their own lives
13:09and not contact each other.
13:11A month later,
13:12Chloe announced she was pregnant,
13:14delaying Adrian further.
13:15But in the borderlands,
13:17my life was no worse
13:18than in the central tribe.
13:20The only thing I didn't expect
13:21was that four months later,
13:22I would see Adrian and Chloe again.
13:25Chloe's face turned purple from choking.
13:27She kept hitting his arm.
13:29Stop!
13:29What are you doing?
13:30Adrian let go,
13:32but his eyes stayed fixed
13:33on coughing Chloe,
13:34his face dark.
13:35Answer me!
13:36Chloe gasped for a long time
13:37before recovering,
13:38tears in her eyes.
13:40Joy said she had nothing left to miss,
13:42so she told me to kill this dog
13:44and make a clean break.
13:46Adrian staggered back a few steps,
13:48as if struck hard.
13:50Nothing left to miss.
13:51He muttered,
13:51then stumbled and ran
13:53toward the wedding room.
13:55Back in the room,
13:56Adrian began packing.
13:58Chloe panicked.
14:00Adrian, where are you going?
14:01I have to go see.
14:02I don't believe Joy married so quickly.
14:04Chloe wanted to stop him,
14:05but thought that the border lord
14:07her sister married
14:07was said to have a pig face.
14:09She suppressed her smugness.
14:11Adrian, I'll go with you.
14:12Even though I didn't get
14:13sister's blessing,
14:14we can go give her ours.
14:16You don't know?
14:17It's Joy.
14:18She got married the day
14:20after she went to the borderlands.
14:22The whole area knows about it.
14:24He couldn't believe it.
14:25The little girl
14:26he used to follow behind him
14:28calling Adrian brother,
14:29who said she would marry
14:31no one else.
14:32How could she suddenly be married?
14:34In her world,
14:35there was no other male but him.
14:37Even in the borderlands,
14:38how could she really marry another?
14:40He suddenly remembered
14:42the day she knelt,
14:43bleeding,
14:44begging for forgiveness,
14:46and from the past life,
14:48her cries for help.
14:49Adrian, help me!
14:50She doesn't love me anymore.
14:51The thought exploded
14:53in his mind.
14:56Adrian, what's wrong?
14:58Chloe took his cold hand,
14:59her face full of concern.
15:01Adrian slowly turned his head
15:03and looked at the space,
15:05somewhat similar to Joy's.
15:07He gently touched it,
15:08then suddenly grabbed Chloe's throat,
15:10speaking each word deliberately.
15:16You killed Pearl.
15:20Adrian.
15:21The news that I got married to Charles
15:23the day after arriving at the borderlands
15:25soon reached home.
15:27Mother sent a letter with just one word.
15:30Good.
15:32Chloe also sent a letter.
15:34Very long.
15:34She said Adrian treated her well,
15:36that life in the central tribe was good,
15:38and asked if I was suffering in the borderlands,
15:41offering to beg Adrian to bring me back.
15:44At the end of the letter, she asked,
15:46Does the border lord really have the face
15:48of a wild boar?
15:49I burned the letter.
15:50When Charles found out,
15:52he wasn't angry.
15:53Next time she comes,
15:55I can show her in person
15:56whether I have a wild borg's face.
15:59His rare humor made me laugh.
16:02On Adrian's wedding day,
16:04he was distracted.
16:05He didn't see me,
16:06but he had no time to look for me.
16:08Too many beasts attended,
16:09and he couldn't get away.
16:10By the end of the ceremony,
16:12I still hadn't appeared.
16:13Adrian felt inexplicably irritated.
16:15He finally found time,
16:17and went to my mother,
16:18hesitantly asking,
16:19Mom, why didn't I see Joy?
16:21Mother's expression was still indifferent.
16:23She left long ago.
16:25There's nothing here for her to miss anymore.
16:27The bracelet is broken,
16:30Pearl is stewed,
16:31and her former lover married her sister.
16:34Adrian felt a heavy weight in his heart,
16:41full of disbelief.
16:43He suddenly remembered the stew
16:44that had spilled when he hit me that day.
16:47It seemed,
16:47it was dogma.
16:49A twinge of pain in his heart.
16:51Just as he was about to say something,
16:53a beastman walked over,
16:54smiling.
16:55Congratulations.
16:56Both your daughters are married.
16:59Adrian grabbed the beastman's arm.
17:01What did you say?
17:02What do you mean both daughters are married?
17:07Yes, my name is Joy.
17:10From today, I am your mate.
17:14Aren't you afraid?
17:15Afraid of what?
17:17He retracted his claws,
17:18and pointed at the pig beastman's corpse.
17:20Of me.
17:21The border beasts all say I'm scarier
17:23than those low creatures.
17:26You saved me.
17:28Why would I be afraid of you?
17:30He stared at me as if judging
17:31whether I was telling the truth.
17:33Let's go.
17:34The camp is half a day's walk from here.
17:38I followed,
17:39stepping over the pig beastman's body.
17:41In my past life,
17:43not long after Chloe died,
17:44the old nobles of the central tribe were purged,
17:47and many exiles were rehabilitated.
17:49Then Charles' family background was revealed.
17:51His grandparents were of the oldest wolf king bloodline.
17:54His family controlled lands across the continent.
17:57Among the confiscated ancestral properties
18:00were dozens of mines and vast forests.
18:02His parents, afraid he would be implicated,
18:05had sent him to the borderlands as a child.
18:07He isolated himself in the borderlands
18:09because he feared his background being discovered.
18:11He had no choice.
18:13Yes, my name is Joy.
18:15From today, I am your mate.
18:19Aren't you afraid?
18:21Afraid of what?
18:22He retracted his claws
18:24and pointed at the pig beastman's corpse.
18:26Of me.
18:26The border beasts all say
18:28I'm scarier than those low creatures.
18:31You saved me.
18:33Why would I be afraid of you?
18:35He stared at me as if judging
18:37whether I was telling the truth.
18:38Let's go.
18:39The camp is half a day's walk from here.
18:43I followed,
18:44stepping over the pig beastman's body.
18:46In my past life,
18:48not long after Chloe died,
18:49the old nobles of the central tribe were purged,
18:52and many exiles were rehabilitated.
18:54Then Charles' family background was revealed.
18:57His grandparents were of the oldest Wolf King bloodline.
19:00His family controlled lands across the continent.
19:03Among the confiscated ancestral properties
19:05were dozens of mines and vast forests.
19:07His parents, afraid he would be implicated,
19:10had sent him to the borderlands as a child.
19:12He isolated himself in the borderlands
19:14because he feared his background being discovered.
19:16He had no choice.
19:18The road to the borderlands took seven days.
19:20In my past life,
19:22Chloe had been attacked on her first nightmare.
19:24That pig beastman had ambushed her card in the dark,
19:27and by the time guards found her,
19:29it was too late.
19:30This time,
19:31I wouldn't let the same tragedy happen.
19:34My lord,
19:35something is approaching the border.
19:37Suddenly, I saw a familiar fat figure.
19:39Here he came.
19:40That face had haunted my nightmares
19:42every day since my rebirth.
19:44It was the low pig beastman.
19:46He was already in half-beast form,
19:48his pupils cloudy with heat lust.
19:50Drool dripped from his mouth.
19:52He turned his head and our eyes met.
19:54He locked onto me and lunged with his disgusting body.
19:57I tried to draw my dagger,
19:58but fear froze me.
19:59I stared ahead.
20:00Then I saw a flash of cold light.
20:02The pig beastman's body stiffened.
20:03A claw pierced through his chest,
20:05blood spraying.
20:06He looked down,
20:07then slowly fell.
20:10Under the moonlight,
20:11a tall, muscular beastman stood in front of me
20:13with his back to me,
20:14his half-beast form fully expanded.
20:16His form was unlike any ordinary wolf.
20:19He shook the blood off his claws
20:20and looked at my face.
20:22His voice was low but gentle.
20:23You were frightened.
20:25My name is Charles.
20:27I am the Border Lord.
20:29Charles?
20:30The man Chloe had never even met in her past life
20:33now stood before me.
20:35Charles gave me a proper wolf tribe salute.
20:37Then he reached out his hand
20:39as if inviting me down from the cart.
20:44I took a deep breath,
20:45stepped down,
20:46and returned the salute.
20:52His voice was low.
20:53were you sent from the central tribe
21:00for a marriage alliance.
21:04Adrian burst in
21:05and kicked me hard in the stomach.
21:07I fell.
21:08Then another heavy slap landed.
21:12My ears rang with pain.
21:14I couldn't hear Adrian's curses.
21:16He quickly picked up Chloe
21:17and rinsed her burns.
21:21The world went silent.
21:23After Adrian tended to Chloe's injuries,
21:25he grabbed my heart.
21:27His claws dug into the skin near my neck,
21:29just an inch from my gland.
21:31Chloe tried to pull him away,
21:32but Adrian wouldn't let go.
21:33She's dying!
21:35The ringing and suffocation overwhelmed me.
21:37I didn't even have the strength to fight back.
21:40My eyes rolled back.
21:41I thought,
21:42maybe I should just die.
21:43Finally, Adrian let go.
21:44I greedily gasped for air.
21:47I told you I can kill you once
21:49and I can do it again.
21:51Joy, don't test my limits.
21:53Then he grabbed my hair
21:54and forced my head down
21:55in front of Chloe.
21:58I'm sorry, please.
22:00Forgive me.
22:01I collapsed onto the ground like a puppet,
22:03unable to even cry out in pain.
22:05Seemingly satisfied with my submission,
22:07Adrian left with Chloe.
22:09I numbly got up,
22:13bandaged my wounds
22:14and cleaned the house.
22:16I packed my luggage
22:17and went to the Borderlands early.
22:20When I got home,
22:21the meal was already prepared.
22:22Only Chloe remained.
22:24Smiling gently,
22:24she pushed a large pot
22:26of stewed meat toward me.
22:30Seeing the sly smile
22:31on Chloe's lips,
22:32my heart pounded.
22:33Don't look, Joy.
22:35Your pearl is right here.
22:39She pushed the pot toward me again.
22:41My stomach turned
22:42and I couldn't stop dry heaving.
22:45Since you're going
22:46to the Borderlands anyway,
22:47it's a waste to keep the animal.
22:49Isn't me thoughtful?
22:50Letting you have a good meal
22:52before you suffer
22:53in the countryside.
22:54I bit my lip hard.
22:55The taste of blood
22:56filled my mouth.
22:57I slapped her hard
22:57across the face.
22:58Why do you still torment me
22:59at every turn?
23:00Chloe, we are sisters!
23:03You took everything
23:04that should have been mine.
23:06My dear sister,
23:08in this life,
23:09you will suffer
23:10in my place.
23:13I will destroy
23:14everything you hold dear.
23:17Since we've both been reborn,
23:19you also know
23:19that Adrian tortured me to death.
23:21I didn't know
23:22you suffered those things.
23:24If I had known,
23:25I would never have let you
23:26go to the Borderlands.
23:28I just want to ask you
23:29one thing.
23:30What did you write
23:31in that letter,
23:32playing the good person now?
23:33Too late.
23:35As for that letter,
23:36do you want to know?
23:37She slowly walked toward me.
23:39Just as she reached me,
23:40she fell backward.
23:41The large pot of steaming stew
23:43went down with Chloe.
23:44In an instant,
23:45her exposed skin
23:46was scalded bright red.
23:47I watched the bracelet
23:48break into several pieces.
23:50Tears fell uncontrollably.
23:52Chloe gasped in fake shock,
23:54covering her mouth,
23:55her eyes full of grievance.
23:58Joy, why would you do this?
23:59If you want to marry Adrian,
24:01just say so.
24:02I can go to the Borderlands
24:03in your place.
24:04For the tribe,
24:05I would give up love.
24:06But this is Adrian's
24:08mother's keepsake!
24:10Aye.
24:11She spoke loudly,
24:12drawing pointing fingers
24:12from the crowd.
24:13Adrian walked toward me
24:14step by step,
24:15his eyes dark and fierce.
24:16He slowly crouched down,
24:18his fingernails turning
24:19into translucent claws.
24:20He pressed my hand hard
24:21onto the bone fragments.
24:23Cut your little tricks.
24:24No matter what you do,
24:25I won't mark you.
24:26Joy didn't make me
24:27kill you again.
24:28Adrian left with Chloe
24:29in his arms.
24:30I looked at my bloodied hands.
24:32Compared to the pain
24:33in my heart,
24:33the pain in my hands
24:34was insignificant.
24:35Olivia, I'm sorry.
24:36The promise I made to you
24:38I have to break.
24:39I watched the bracelet
24:41break into several pieces.
24:42Tears fell uncontrollably.
24:45Chloe gasped in fake shock,
24:47covering her mouth,
24:48her eyes full of grievance.
24:51Joy, why would you do this?
24:53If you want to marry Adrian,
24:54just say so.
24:55I can go to the Boredlands
24:57in your place.
24:57For the tribe,
24:59I would give up love.
25:01But this is Adrian's
25:02mother's keepsake.
25:04Aye.
25:05She spoke loudly,
25:06drawing pointing fingers
25:07from the crowd.
25:08Adrian walked toward me
25:09step by step,
25:10his eyes dark and fierce.
25:12He slowly crouched down,
25:13his fingernails turning
25:14into translucent claws.
25:16He pressed my hand hard
25:17onto the bone fragments.
25:18Cut your little tricks.
25:20No matter what you do,
25:21I won't mark you.
25:23Joy, don't make me
25:24kill you again.
25:25Adrian left with Chloe
25:26in his arms.
25:27I looked at my bloodied hands.
25:29Compared to the pain
25:30in my heart,
25:30the pain in my hands
25:31was insignificant.
25:32Olivia, I'm sorry.
25:34The promise I made to you
25:36I have to break.
25:37Mom paused for a moment,
25:39nodded and left.
25:41She didn't say anything,
25:42but I know she loved me.
25:44Because last time,
25:45she cheated on flipping coins
25:46so I could stay.
25:48Because she knew
25:48I liked Adrian.
25:50I went to the market
25:51to buy things
25:52for the Borderlands
25:53and ran into Adrian and Chloe.
25:55They were picking out
25:56a pink wedding dress.
25:57In my past life,
25:58I had also liked that dress.
26:00But because it was expensive
26:01and rarely worn,
26:03Adrian refused.
26:04But now,
26:05watching him buy it
26:05without hesitation,
26:07my heart still ached.
26:08Joy, what a coincidence!
26:11Our wedding date is set.
26:13Three days from now.
26:14Joy, you must come.
26:15Just as I was about
26:16to hurry away,
26:17Chloe called out,
26:18Without your blessing,
26:19I would be sad.
26:21I need to prepare
26:22for the Borderlands
26:23so I won't...
26:24If you dare not come,
26:26I'll stew Pearl
26:28and add it to the feast.
26:29Pearl was a little black dog.
26:31A gift from my own
26:32Adrian's mother, Olivia.
26:33Olivia loved me
26:34like her own daughter.
26:36After Adrian's mother died,
26:37Pearl became
26:38my only memory of her.
26:39I nodded and agreed.
26:41Just as I turned to leave,
26:42Chloe grabbed my hand.
26:43Joy,
26:44from now on,
26:45I will be the Jones family's
26:47daughter-in-law.
26:48Shouldn't this bracelet
26:49be given to me?
26:50This isn't a Jones family heirloom.
26:52It's just a keepsake
26:54from Olivia.
26:55Why do you have
26:56Chloe's eyes
26:57immediately reddened?
26:58Joy, are you saying
26:59that just because you're upset
27:00I'm marrying Adrian
27:01and it's my fault?
27:04What's wrong with that one?
27:06Did she say the sister's mother?
27:08I just think
27:09Olivia's bracelet
27:10should be
27:10on her future
27:12daughter-in-law's wrist.
27:13Adrian frowned,
27:14his face full of sympathy.
27:15Take it off.
27:16Those three words
27:17were cold
27:18without a trace of emotion.
27:19I held the bracelet
27:20on my wrist.
27:21I wanted to say no,
27:23but meeting Adrian's eyes,
27:24I didn't have the courage
27:25to refuse.
27:27Trembling,
27:27I took off the bracelet
27:28and handed it to Chloe.
27:30A flash of cunning
27:31passed through her eyes.
27:32Just as she was about
27:33to touch it,
27:34she let go.
27:35My eyes widened.
27:36I reached out
27:37to catch it,
27:37but it was too late.
27:39Please,
27:40let me go.
27:41I swear I didn't kill Chloe.
27:44You think I would
27:45believe you?
27:48Get started.
27:50No, no, no!
27:52In our family,
27:53one beastman
27:53had to marry
27:54the border lord,
27:55the so-called
27:56brutal monster.
27:57The other would
27:58marry Adrian,
27:59the only son
27:59of the Jones family
28:00in the Central Tribe.
28:01Mom made my sister
28:03and I flip a coin.
28:04In my past life,
28:05my sister went
28:06to the Borderlands,
28:07but on the way,
28:08she was raped
28:08by a low-ranking
28:09pig beastman
28:10and killed herself.
28:11Before dying,
28:12she falsely accused me
28:13of rigging the draw.
28:15Adrian took me
28:16to my sister's grave
28:17and had the pig beastman
28:18rape me
28:19when I was already in labor.
28:20Whatever Chloe suffered,
28:21I will make you suffer again.
28:26I cried and begged him
28:27to spare me,
28:28but he just walked
28:29as I was by him.
28:29And in the end,
28:31my blood to death.
28:32When I opened my eyes again,
28:33I was reborn.
28:35In this life,
28:36I gave up flipping a coin
28:37and also gave up Adrian.
28:40Before mom could react,
28:41I immediately said,
28:42Mother,
28:43I am willing to go
28:44to the Borderlands
28:45and marry the Border Lord.
28:47Let my sister take my place
28:49in marrying
28:49into the Jones family.
28:51Hearing that I was willing to go,
28:53my mom and Chloe
28:54were both shocked.
28:59What did you say?
29:01Aren't you an Adrian?
29:02The pain of being violated
29:04by a low beastman
29:05still seemed fresh.
29:09Mom, I've decided.
29:11I'll go.
29:12Mom stared at me solemnly
29:14for a long time
29:14then finally nodded,
29:16silently agreeing.
29:17A figure rushed in
29:18and hugged Chloe.
29:19It was Adrian.
29:20Perhaps it's not too late
29:21to fix everything.
29:23Auntie,
29:24I want to marry Chloe.
29:25I know you wanted me
29:25to marry Joy,
29:26but I don't love her.
29:27I was stunned.
29:27He didn't do this
29:28the last time.
29:29It seemed Adrian
29:30had also been reborn.
29:31Joy,
29:32give up that idea.
29:34Even if I die,
29:35I won't mark you.
29:37That look was exactly
29:37the same as in my past life
29:39when he watched me
29:40being violated.
29:41I couldn't help
29:42but shiver.
29:43Joy has already volunteered
29:44to go to the Borderlands.
29:46Go prepare yourself
29:47and come marry Chloe.
29:48How wonderful, Chloe.
29:50I can marry you.
29:51My heart ached.
29:52That gentleness once
29:53was only for me.
29:54Adrian took Chloe away
29:55to buy wedding supplies.
29:56Mom, this time
29:57when I go to the Borderlands,
29:58I accept the marriage alliance.
