On Family Selection Day, my sister Chloe gleefully stole Julian, the powerful husband I spent my past life crowning, leaving me as the laughingstock of the aristocratic circle. Instead of begging, I walked straight to Arthur, the marginalized illegitimate son in a wheelchair, and offered to take over his ruined stables. But my arrogance carried a b****y price. Fixated on Julian's sabotage, I missed a fatal detail, leading to the tragic death of my beloved training horse Vanguard from Chloe's hidden toxin. With our official resources severed, I held the only decrypted offshore transaction linking Chloe to the poison. Trapped alongside a crippled man whose cold realism matched my own, we had just one week to survive their systematic strangulation before the royal races decided our ultimate fate.
