Winona and Vivia are twin sisters and the youngest descendants of the Norman family.
Because the Norman family is an old and established ducal family in the empire, with many branches and deep roots, they have no need to engage in any marriage alliances or seek personal connections.
It is itself the oldest and most prestigious family.
Because there were few offspring in this generation, with only one boy, the two sisters received the attention and expectations of the entire family from the moment they were born.
The two sisters lived carefree lives until they were six years old.
All the children in the Norman family undergo a talent test at the age of six.
Winona inherited her talent from her mother, Alice; she possesses 99% water affinity, and she is destined to become a water mage.
However, Vivia did not inherit any talent, which is quite rare.
It is extremely rare for a child to lack talent when both parents and relatives are gifted.
Vivia unfortunately became one of those people.
But she was very lucky, because the Norman family did not need another genius, so her life did not change much.
Winona began arduous training, while Vivia continued to live her comfortable life as before.
Although Winona has more resources, the family still dotes on her youngest daughter, Vivia.
Even Winona dotes on her younger sister. She always felt that she absorbed all the nutrition and talent while she was in her mother's womb, which is why her sister had no talent at all.
She would comply with any request Vivia made.
Logically speaking, if Vivia continued living like this, she would be a very happy person.
However, Vivia did not feel happy because everyone in her family was a genius, while she was the only one who was useless, which put a lot of pressure on her.
She always felt that her family loved her too much, and that she was like a fragile porcelain doll.
She wanted to protect them as they protected her, instead of staying in a greenhouse and enjoying everything they brought her.
One day, she stumbled upon pharmacy, which opened her eyes to new possibilities.
No one knows that Vivia actually came from another world with her memories; she had memories of her past life when she was still an infant in the womb.
She was an unremarkable chemistry student from Earth. She ended up here because of an explosion that occurred while she was conducting an experiment in the lab.
Her major was chemistry, but after being exposed to pharmaceutics, she suddenly felt that what she had learned before was useful.
She threw herself into pharmacy and became engrossed in conducting experiments. Although her family was worried about her safety, they still gave her all their support.
After studying diligently for a period of time, she finally achieved success in pharmacy.
She developed a potion that could quickly restore magic power, which she named the Mana Recovery Potion.
Vivia finally became a qualified pharmacist, and she was very proud of herself. She was no longer the notorious good-for-nothing of the Norman family.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will be a very skilled apothecary on this continent, and she also has her entire family as her backing.
Then she marries a reliable young man she finds attractive, bears his children, and spends her life with him.
Unfortunately, this peaceful life changed completely when Vivia was 25 years old.
While searching for herbs in the forest, Vivi found a wolf cub on the verge of death.
This little wolf looks very different; it has golden fur on its forehead, which contrasts sharply with its silvery-white fur.
Viviya took a liking to it the moment she saw it. She not only treated the wolf cub's wounds, but also took it back to her family.
"What? You want to take this little wolf as your spirit pet?"
The whole family was astonished. Vivia's strength was weak, and she should have contracted a more powerful spirit pet to protect herself. Although this spirit beast was good, it was not top-tier.
Unfortunately, Vivia insisted, and her family had no choice but to agree. However, they secretly worked even harder to find an even more powerful spirit beast to give to her.
Vivia spared no expense in helping the little wolf recover. One day, the little wolf actually spoke and told Vivia that it was Rex, the leader of the wolf clan in the forest.
Because of an accident involving the Beast King, the leaders of various beast tribes vied for the throne. During its fight with the Lion King, it was ambushed by the Tiger King, resulting in serious injuries.
Now it must regain its strength and return to the wolf clan as soon as possible, otherwise the wolf clan will be in danger.
Vivia yearned for peace, completely unaware that the beastmen and humans of this world were fundamentally incapable of coexisting peacefully.
She secretly provided all the resources to Rex without telling her family, and even signed an equal contract with the little wolf.
Gradually, some strange phenomena began to appear in the Norman family.
The family members gradually became unlucky; their cultivation levels not only failed to improve but actually regressed.
No one knew what had happened, and everyone was extremely worried.
Vivia's strength was low, so there was nothing unusual about her.
Her family didn't want to put too much pressure on her, so they didn't tell her about it.
Vivia didn't realize this fact until all her family members had lost their power and the entire family was in grave danger.
She felt guilty for her carelessness and was extremely worried. She actively searched for solutions, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find a way to stop it all.
It wasn't until Norman's grandfather, Axie, fell ill that his friend, Allen, was alerted.
Allen was one of only three Archmages on this continent, and he immediately noticed Rex's unusual behavior.
Unfortunately, it was too late by then.
Rex had regained his strength. He took Vivia hostage and left the Norman family, returning to the Beast Forest.
Vivia realized then that she had committed a terrible crime, but it was too late to undo it.
Even with Allen's backing, the Norman family still fell, falling from a top family to ordinary commoners.
My grandfather and father were both soldiers guarding the border, but they died on the border due to the decline in strength.
To save Vivia, the eldest brother, Wimanning, and Winona ventured deep into the Monster Forest and never returned.
Only a few elderly women and children remained of the Norman family, and soon after, they too died of illness and hardship, and the Norman family completely disappeared from this continent.
Vivia saw her older brother and sister one last time, and she tearfully begged Rex to let them go.
But Rex brutally murdered them right in front of her.
Vivia suddenly went berserk. Despite the excruciating pain of the backlash, she broke the contract with Rex and then committed suicide.
Xiao Li arrived at the exact time she met Rex.
Rex is indeed the Wolf King, but he didn't tell the truth.
He was indeed injured by the Tiger King's sneak attack, but more importantly, he was nearing the end of his life, which is why he urgently needed to find a human to sign a contract with in order to extend his lifespan.
