Husband fakes illness to hide he lied about rescuing her.
She poured her savings and energy into curing her husband's supposed impotence, never suspecting he had bribed a physician to invent the ailment. The ruse masked his years-old lie that he was the one who pulled her from danger. Once she uncovered the fraud, he turned cruel, branded her tainted, and drugged her to silence her. A military commander intervened, revealing he was her actual savior, then proposed marriage as protection. She declined, choosing instead to reclaim her career and rebuild her life on her own terms.
