Sold by My Son, I Became the Lady Sovereign

Gritty family betrayal with a mother's quiet endurance.

Marcia bears a scaling skin condition that marks her for citywide scorn. To spare Felix from execution for theft, she binds herself to two decades of servitude, only for him to steal again and condemn Klaudius to the slave block. Twenty years vanish. Felix prepares a noble marriage while Klaudius rises as a duke, quietly hunting for the mother he lost. He finds her moments before Felix stages her death at his own wedding, hoisting an urn to wipe her from memory. Marcia fights to claim her place, but the crowd turns on her until the new duke arrives late, altering the balance.
