To save her family, Aurelia was forced to marry the ruthless Consul Marcus. After ten years of silent endurance, she discovered her husband and his brother had wagered on her body—betting on whose child she was carrying—simply to curry favor with a maidservant. Aurelia publicly announced their divorce, revealed that the child was not her husband's, and fled with her son. Five years later, she risked her life to break into the imperial palace to save her father; the truth about the child’s parentage came to light, alongside a secret identity hidden for thirty years. Consequently, her once-arrogant ex-husband faced a ruinous end, doomed by the very scandal he had helped create.
