WE WERE DESTINED

Phoebe Chu was reborn. With no time to contemplate the vows of vengeance she had made in her previous life, filled with resentment and regret, she found herself face to face with a pair of eyes that instilled utter terror.

“D-Duke Drake?!”

“Very well, you still recognize me!”

“As my woman, to think of running away with another man, how dare you!”

The Duke Alexander Drakes eyes were a storm of blood and rage...

“Say it! Will you run anymore?”

“Say it! Who does Phoebe Chu belong to?”

“Say it! Who am I? Say it!”

Phoebe Chu, terrified, clung to the Duke: “I wont run! Ill be good, I beg for peace...”

Reborn.

Phoebe Chu returned to eight years ago, the year before she was confined in the Dukes mansion by Alexander Drake.

That year, the Grand Dynastys war god, Alexander Drake, ended his decade-long military career. On his first day back in the Capital City, he abducted her while she was shopping with her friend Zoe Zhou.

But her heart belonged to the second prince, Ethan Gray, and she continuously resisted Alexander.

She tried to escape his grasp, only to be captured again and again, forced to accept his so-called intimate punishments that left her feeling humiliated.

This time, with the help of her close friend Zoe Zhou, she left the mansion hidden in a carriage, planning to elope with Ethan Gray.

But Ethan didnt come; Alexander did.

Furious, Alexander stormed into the carriage, losing the last shred of sanity.

He broke the final barrier between them, taking her...

By force!

Afterward, her reputation was ruined, and he took her back to the mansion.

She began to attempt suicide in various ways, but he had people watch her around the clock. She never got the chance to die, only to suffer his more brutal and merciless ravages!

He destroyed her, and she despised him. Unable to escape, she tried every means to communicate with Ethan Gray.

—Her family spared no expense to help Ethan Gray ascend to the crown princes throne.

A year after Ethan took power, he colluded with a foreign king to create a border friction, luring Alexander to the frontier.

At that time, the emperor had been ill for a long time. She thought that as long as Ethan seized the opportunity to become the new emperor, her happy days would come.

—Even if she, because of her impurity, could not be Ethans queen, as long as she could go to Ethans harem, even without a name or status, she was willing.

But it wasnt until her family was framed for treason and executed that she realized Ethan had been using her from the start.

—that man to whom she had given all her love had long been entangled with her cousin Jocelyn Chu!

They killed her family but kept her hidden, cut off her legs and one hand, and threw her into a dark dungeon.

When they found out she was carrying Alexanders child, they beat the child to a bloody pulp with a wooden stick...

—At this moment, the guilt for her parents and family, the regret for Alexander and her child, mixed with a surging hatred, made Phoebe Chu clench her fists fiercely, her eyes bloodshot...

The grudges of the past life, she must make them pay with blood in this life!

Yet, she heard the mans cold words: "So fond of running out, these legs, we shouldnt keep them, should we?"

Phoebe Chu quickly hugged Alexander Drake, hastily explaining: "No! Dont cut my legs!"

"D-Duke Drake, I know youre angry because I went to see Ethan Gray, but I went to see Ethan Gray because..."

"You indeed wanted to elope with Ethan Gray!"

The mans face once again filled with a terrifying murderous intent.

Just then, a woman climbed onto the carriage, "thud" kneeling on the step outside the curtain, her voice soft and gentle: "Duke Drake, please spare my sister Phoebe Chu!"

"Sister Phoebe Chu has adored the second prince since childhood, and for the sake of being with him, she would do anything. This is something everyone in the Capital City knows!"

"Duke Drake, you hold great power, admired by all. What woman do you not have? Why insist on forcing my sister Phoebe Chu?"

"Duke Drake, a forced relationship, its not sweet..."
