After the war between the immortals and the demons, my sister's husband returned alive. Mine did not. Everyone pitied me. But I knew the truth. The man who came back was not my brother-in-law. It was my husband, Cassian. He and the Crown Prince had been twin brothers, evenly matched in both appearance and power. No one had noticed anything strange. In my last life, he had explained it to me so calmly that I had believed every word. "Mira, I had no choice. This was for the stability of the realm. "My brother was the Crown Prince of the Dragon clan. If word spread that the heir had fallen in battle, the clan would descend into chaos. "And your sister is soft-hearted. She would never survive losing the man she loves. I was only standing in his place for a while. Once things settled, I would return to you." I trusted him. I trusted him right up until the day he accused me of colluding with the demons and had me cut to pieces. I could still remember the pain. I could still remember looking through blood and seeing him with his arm around my sister, intimate and at ease, while I finally understood that everything had been part of his scheme. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day the Dragon clan celebrated victory. The news had just arrived. My husband was dead. Cassian stood in the great hall with one arm around my sister, his silence carefully measured, while the others cast sympathetic glances at me. This time, I did not hesitate. If he wanted to wear the dead Crown Prince's face and steal his place, then I would choose another path. He thought that pretending to be the heir would let him claim power, wealth, and glory. What he did not know was that losing me meant losing the only chance he would ever have to become the supreme ruler of the Dragon clan.
