Foxy Tail

To cure my half-sister's illness, my brother took my beast bone—all because I was a half-beast and had a strong self-healing ability. Later, to make me suffer in her place, the tiger beast servant I had cared for joined forces with my brother and sent me straight into the Beast Den. The tiger said I didn't deserve to be his master, and the one he wanted to protect was my sister. In the end, I was tortured and died a terrible death. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the very day I had to choose my beast servant.

Sejak sudah bisa mengingat sesuatu, aku tahu kalau ibuku membenciku. Saat aku berusia tiga tahun, dia memberiku obat tidur. Di usia lima tahun, dia menyuruhku minum racun serangga. Tetapi aku tidak mudah mati. Dan ketika berusia tujuh tahun, aku belajar melawannya tanpa ada yang mengajariku. Kalau dia tidak memberiku makan, aku akan membalikkan meja makan agar semuanya juga tidak bisa makan. Kalau dia memukuliku dengan tongkat hingga terguling di lantai, aku akan memukuli anak laki-laki yang paling dia sayangi hingga wajahnya lebam. Aku sangat keras kepala dan terus melawan hingga usia dua belas tahun. Sampai ketika adik perempuanku yang paling kecil lahir. Dengan gerakan tangan yang canggung, aku mencoba mengganti celana anak kecil yang basah itu. Ibu langsung membantingku ke dinding dengan keras. Dia menatapku dengan jijik dan ketakutan. “Apa yang mau kamu lakukan pada anak perempuanku?” “Dasar anak tukang pemerkosa! Kenapa kamu tidak mati bersamanya saja?!” Saat itu juga, aku akhirnya mengerti mengapa dia tidak pernah mencintaiku. Aku menutup kepalaku yang berdarah dan untuk pertama kalinya tidak melawan saat dipukuli. Dan untuk pertama kalinya juga, aku merasa apa yang dia katakan itu benar. Keberadaanku adalah sebuah kesalahan. Aku seharusnya mati.

When I joined my pregnant wife at her class reunion, I heard the thoughts of her male bestie. 'Once she kicks her bum husband to the curb, the money's all mine!' He was snuggling up to my wife, raising his glass in salutations with a perfect smile, but I still caught the flicker of disgust in his eyes. 'Stupid sow thinks I'm in love with her? Who would care about her if it weren't for her money?' He had no idea that Mary's family had gone bankrupt long ago, and her life of luxury now was all thanks to me!

On the day I was supposed to marry Cyrus Lloyd, his crush returned from abroad. She held a notice which said she did not have long to live and smiled sadly. “Cyrus, I thought you’d let me wear a wedding dress one last time.” To grant her wish, Cyrus gave her my wedding dress. He even made her as the bride instead of me. He locked me inside the dressing room. Through the door, he said in annoyance, “We still have a future together. What’s wrong with letting her have this?” Later, a rich guy who secretly had a crush on me proposed to me. With teary eyes, Cyrus begged, “Do you really not care about me anymore because of him?” I took a step back. “We don’t have a future anymore. Why should I care about you?”

The day my elder sister stole my fiancé from me, I did not fight back. Instead, I slipped past the maid guarding me and went straight to find my father. “She can have my fiancé. I’m marrying the Regent!” My father stared at me in shock. Everyone knew the Regent was in charge, but rumors said he could not father a child and had a nasty temper. What they did not know was that I was born under heaven’s favor—blessed with the gift of life itself. In my previous life, that blessing became my curse. My elder sister and stepmother smeared my name, claiming that my curves and easy fortune meant I had been defiled before marriage. My fiancé was disgusted and turned away from me. That was when my sister seized the chance to take my place. Even on her wedding day, my sister was not at ease. She had me dragged away like a lowly servant and sent to a brothel, ordering the madam to torture me. While I lay dying in the dark, she lived in the light, bearing children with my former fiancé and enjoying a lifetime of happiness that should have been mine. Now that I had been given another life, I refused to bow to fate again. She might have stolen my fiancé, but she could never take the blessing I was born with.

Evan Moore is the perfect husband in everyone's eyes. He gives me a grand wedding and fully supports my career dreams. When I faced a difficult labor, he stayed by my side, kneeling for a full day and night until he nearly passed out from exhaustion. Afterward, he held me in his arms, sobbing until his eyes were red and swollen, his voice trembling with fear. "Honey, let’s not have any more kids… It's just too much." From then on, he spends his days and nights at the monastery, praying devoutly for me and our son, earning the title of the city’s most pious CEO. But one day, by pure chance, I glimpse the handwritten scriptures he keeps so carefully copied. And that's when I realize every word, every stroke, is a confession of his undying love… for his first love. All his tenderness, all his care—it was never truly for me. It was learned for her. I was nothing more than practice—a stand-in for his so-called true love.
