Rejected by My Family, Chosen by the Vampire Duke

After two years in the Blood Dungeon, Elodie returns to House Aurelaine only to find her family still favoring Bianca and denying her a future. Working to repay their supposed debt, she meets Draven, a mysterious vampire duke, and receives the ring reserved for the Raven Clan's lady. When her family hides and humiliates her, Draven comes for her himself. Yet refuge at his estate brings no lasting peace: academy rumors, a forged marriage contract, and covert attacks threaten her freedom. Pursued by Count Lucian of the rival Pale Clan, Elodie begins fighting on her own terms, using the ring as bait and a magic mirror to capture evidence. Before the council, a blood mirror exposes Bianca's stolen blood signature and reveals Elodie's ancient golden lineage. As her golden dragon manifests again, she settles old debts and refuses to let family ties or past love excuse betrayal. With judgment delivered, she chooses a future beside Draven without surrendering control of her life.
