Abandoned on My Wedding Day: The Dragon Emperor's Regret

On the day Aria Velborne is meant to wear her bridal gown for the Ember Bond, the entire court looks past her and crowns her adopted sister Lysaea as the future Dragon Empress—even Darian, the Dragon Emperor and the mate fate chose for Aria. After being forgotten, replaced, and worn down from begging to be noticed, Aria gives back his tokens and walks away before the ceremony. Eight years later, she returns free of every chain, while Darian is left drowning in regret, waiting for the bride he lost as fate edges closer to taking away even that chance.
