A Wedding Scorned, A Destiny Born

Fleur Shane was born with a rare fertility, destined to marry Harlan Shaw, the adopted heir of the General in the North. However, on their wedding day, Harlan insisted on taking a second wife of equal status. Enraged, Fleur called off the marriage and instead married the Marquis himself, Elliot Shaw. Consumed by resentment, Harlan schemed in secret but was ultimately stripped of his heir status. Meanwhile, Fleur successfully conceived the Marquis's own son and lived a life of happiness and fulfillment.
