A human woman named Wren married into the Lion Clan, believing she had found love. But when her husband Cael took in his late brother's widow Lyris to secure a "pureblood heir," Wren's fang bracelet was taken, her main courtyard seized, and her dignity crushed. Her mother-in-law called her useless, her rival flaunted her pregnancy, and Cael's only words were: "Bear it just this once." She didn't cry. She didn't argue. She simply boarded a pleasure boat alone on her birthday and drifted downstream—The boat capsized. She was gone. And the lions' noses were helpless against the river's current. Back at the compound, they waited for her to return and beg forgiveness. But they never knew that on that night, she had already decided to let her old self "die" in the river. Where did she go? Will she ever come back? —The real story has only just begun.
