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