My Husband Gave My Phoenix to His Mistress

Synopsis

Liora, the empire's most powerful female merchant, gave her surname, status, and wealth to Sevien, a poor street singer—yet he secretly embezzled her fortune for his mistress Isara, even giving away her golden dragon and priceless Starlight Necklace. At a noble banquet, Isara used Liora's dragon against her and had her companions injure Liora's Imperial Blood Radiance Wyvern, one of only three ancient dragon descendants. Sevien threatened Liora into apologizing instead of defending her. Exposing him as a mere moneyed son-in-law, Liora froze his accounts and revoked his guild access. His schemes—forged contracts, kidnapping, and black magic—all failed. He and Isara fled with a flawed decoy formula to Morlock's Black Abyss Guild, mass-producing a dangerous potion that caused permanent magical depletion. After victims sued, Morlock blamed and imprisoned them. Desperate, Sevien signed a hundred-million-crystal blood pact for a fake dragon egg, which Liora exposed as an ordinary stone. Captured and tried, Sevien got forty-five years, Isara twenty, and Morlock twenty. From prison, Morlock hired assassins twice—first at a trade banquet, where Prince Caesar saved Liora, and again at their royal wedding, where guards stopped the assassin and Caesar blocked the poisoned arrow. Liora and Caesar married, and she continued managing the guild independently, introducing a safer dragonblood potion that benefited the nation. Learning of her remarriage, Sevien broke down in lifelong remorse. Morlock's sentence was extended to life. Liora burned her old belongings, mounted her golden dragon, and stepped into a new chapter.
