Rejected by the Phoenix Lord

Clarissa endures 99 cruel games to win Lord Galde’s heart, only to be betrayed in the final round. He favors another girl, humiliates her, and causes her grandma’s death and miscarriage. Heartbroken, she fakes her death and escapes.

Galde later regrets endlessly, but she has moved on with a kind new lover. In the end, he pays for his cruelty with his life.
