Lady Blue Bird of the White Lion Family

Shupena, a delicate blue bird bound to the House of Eagles, is offered as a political bargaining chip to secure her family’s safety. As part of this arrangement, she becomes betrothed to Ricador Chadwick, the heir of the formidable House of Lions. Fully aware that she is destined to play the role of the villainess in his story—a figure ultimately discarded once he encounters his true heroine—Shupena resolves to maintain a careful distance. Her only goal is to quietly endure the engagement until a formal divorce can be arranged, ensuring she avoids the tragic fate written for her. However, her carefully constructed plan begins to unravel when Ricador defies her expectations. Instead of indifference or hostility, he showers her with unexpected warmth and genuine attachment. His affection challenges everything Shupena believes about her future, leaving her torn between the safety of emotional distance and the allure of his devotion. As his feelings grow increasingly difficult to ignore, she must decide whether to cling to her original strategy or surrender to the shifting winds that seem determined to draw her into her new husband's arms.
