One is a dancer who has been in the public eye since childhood and has long since lost her reputation; she has been spoiled and mistreated.
One with whom they have a long-standing relationship, capable of bringing endless benefits to the Marquis's mansion.
A person devoid of any kinship would bring shame and ridicule to the Marquis's mansion.
How will the Marquis's family choose?
Although the Marquis's family also highly values bloodline, women are a different matter.
Since ancient times, for wealthy and powerful families like theirs, men were the ones who carried on the family line, while women were merely a link to maintain the family's interests through marriage alliances.

That's why she was abandoned.
It wasn't a matter of bloodline; it was because of profit that they chose the imposter.
How cruel they are!
I deeply regret my decision back then.
She not only ruined herself, but also the entire circus troupe. She deserves to die...
During the exile, the mountains were high and the rivers were long, and bandits roamed freely.
