Chapter 1

"Lyra, your sister brought a man back!"I groggily opened my eyes as Jade Black grabbed my wrist and dragged me outside.Bitter wind and snow hit my face, making it impossible to keep my eyes open. Ever since the frozen apocalypse a hundred years ago, Earth had entered an ice age, and wind and snow had become the norm.Most of the world was covered in ice and snow, resources were scarce, and terrible blizzards occurred from time to time. Our serpent clan had migrated several times to survive, and the entire clan had finally settled in this barren wasteland.When Jade and I arrived, Damien Hunter was holding my sister's hand as he lay on the makeshift bed the clan had built."I am willing to offer 10 thousand gold pieces to marry Briar Vale."Jade looked envious and whispered in my ear, "Briar is so lucky. This man...""Is the crown prince of the Ice Wolf pack, the Northern Plains royal family," I interrupted."How did you know?"Because in my previous life, I was the one who s

Chapter 2

My parents had always been biased, and to them, forming a connection with the Ice Wolf pack was beyond their wildest dreams. So they agreed on my behalf without a second thought.A month later, Briar and I both got married on the same day.Briar wore a wedding gown adorned with jewels, riding in an elegant carriage pulled by white horses, with wagon after wagon of luxurious gifts following behind her. Meanwhile, I only had a simple dress and a few pitiful trunks of belongings.Before leaving home, Briar smiled sweetly and said, "Oh, Lyra, a day like this should be mine. Enjoy struggling in the wilderness with your crippled husband."I said nothing and calmly climbed into my wedding carriage. She thought that giving birth to a son would secure her position as crown princess, but Damien's family was ruthless. To them, women were nothing more than breeding tools.Compared to Damien's magnificent palace, Rowan Hunter's home was quite simple. Ribbons hung from the bed frame, and a plat

Chapter 3

Rowan's territory was indeed remote and desolate, but it was nothing like I'd imagined. Word had spread that Rowan and I were coming, because many beastmen crowded the roadside holding gifts they wanted to present to us.They all looked well-fed and healthy, their eyes bright. Even the little ones and elderly were plump and rosy-cheeked.Since the apocalypse began, all the clans had struggled to survive. Food was barely enough to get by, and many older beastmen had starved to death. Those who survived were skin and bones. However, everything was completely different here.Though Rowan's residence wasn't large, it was exquisite and had everything we needed. Seeing my surprised expression, Rowan raised an eyebrow and chuckled, then had a maid bring me a jewelry box.The mahogany box was filled with sparkling jewelry and gems."I'm no saint, but I won't let my wife suffer alongside me." He looked at me with clear, sincere eyes, tilting his chin up slightly. "No need to look so moved.

Chapter 4

Rowan seemed to truly love my unborn daughter. He changed from his usual unpredictable moods and became much gentler.As for his leg, it was only slightly injured, but it didn't affect his walking. I had no idea why he insisted on staying in that wheelchair.Ten months later, news arrived from the palace that Briar had given birth. At the same time, I went into labor. I lay on the bed, sweating from the pain as the doctors' and aids' voices drifted in and out around me. Suddenly, a sharp cry filled my ears.My daughter, Raven Hunter, was born. At that moment, my entire world seemed to light up. I lifted my head, trying to get a look at her, but everything went black and I passed out.Before losing consciousness, I vaguely heard Rowan's furious roar. Was he disgusted with our daughter?When I woke up, it was already the next day. My bed was empty. Rowan was gripping my hand, dozing with his head resting on the bedside.I sat up in panic. It felt like I was reliving my past life wh

Chapter 5

Eight horses pulled a lavish royal carriage at breakneck speed. Briar sat inside looking smug, cradling her little son, Levi Hunter. She looked at my empty arms with contempt and sneered."Lyra, are you ashamed of having a daughter? Is that why you're too embarrassed to show her? I suppose not everyone can be lucky enough to have a son on the first try like me."My sweet daughter and Rowan had given me plenty of confidence. I no longer cared when others mocked me for having only daughters.I smiled calmly. "Congratulations on your son, Briar. But Raven's our treasure. She's not something to hide. It's just too windy today, and she's still too little to be outside."She seemed to think I was just putting up a front, and a knowing look crossed her face. "Daughters just aren't as strong as sons. They're born completely useless."Rowan's territory was different from other places. The beastkin here were tough, and beastwomen worked right alongside beastmen, often proving more capable.

Chapter 6

We heard the news the next morning. The blizzard had swept across most of the land with devastating force, but it never crossed into the forest even once.Outside, the wind and snow were raging, but here it was like a peaceful sanctuary, with only gentle breezes. Rowan and I finally let our guard down.We heard that the blizzard had caught Briar and Damien's carriage on their way back. Though they'd narrowly escaped death, Damien's leg had been crushed by the shattered frame of the carriage.From that day onward, even more extraordinary changes began happening in our territory. The ice and snow melted completely, and all the plants started budding. Spring, which hadn't been seen in ages, had returned to the world.Raven had learned to walk. She toddled around town on her chubby little legs, occasionally reaching out with her pudgy hands to curiously touch the trees along the street.Wherever she touched or stepped, lush green leaves would quickly sprout. Before long, all the beast

Chapter 7

The ice melted and plants began to bud. The entire world was ready for renewal. Rowan was so busy he barely had time to breathe, and I got busy, too.After that day, Father had been stripped of his position as clan leader, and the new leader begged me to give them a way to survive. I thought it over. As members of my clan, they hadn't wronged me in any way.After discussing it with Rowan, I set aside a corner of our territory for them. How well they developed it would be up to them.The clan members were very grateful, and other beastkin, knowing they were related to Raven and me, treated them kindly. Only my parents were left behind in the wasteland.I worked the fields alongside everyone else with Raven, and all the people looked up to us with great respect. When Briar heard this news, she couldn't sit still.Her little sister, whom she'd always walked all over, had stolen her dream of being Wolf Queen. Worse yet, everyone now worshipped her, all because of that daughter with th

Chapter 8

Raven seemed unbothered, sitting in her chair swinging her feet."Crown Princess sounds perfect for me. A cool little treasure like me deserves such a cool title. Papa finally showed some good judgment."My lips twitched. "Put your shoes on."I didn't watch when Briar and Damien were banished to the wasteland that day, but I still heard news about them constantly. After the maids escorted Briar back that day, they immediately told Damien about her attempt to seduce Rowan. He flew into a rage.Though his leg was crippled, his strength remained, and he pounded Briar with his fists over and over. Word was that Briar was beaten senseless.The next day, when Rowan specifically announced that Briar had offended the Crown Princess and was therefore being banished to the wasteland, Damien came to hate her completely. I heard they fought each other from the Ice Wolf territory all the way to the wasteland.Still, their problems no longer affected me. I put shoes on Raven and took her littl
