Misplaced Marriage of Past Era A Love and Hate Tragedy

After failing the college entrance exam, I was kidnapped by a criminal and assaulted in a barn. It sparked rumors of infidelity.

The very next day, my boyfriend—my partner for years—broke off our engagement and quickly married a new female soldier named Margaret Carter.

The village was rife with gossip and my mother, who had raised me alone, collapsed from the stress.

In my darkest moment, Richard Harisson, a new commander in the country’s ranks, came to our house with a marriage proposal.
