💔 RASHTA'S BACKSTORY IN THE REMARRIED EMPRESS IS MUCH MORE HEARTBREAKING THAN MOST PEOPLE REALISE. BEFORE SHE BECAME THE EMPEROR'S MISTRESS, SHE WAS A GIRL WHO HAD BEEN BETRAYED BY ALMOST EVERYONE SHE TRUSTED. Rashta was born into poverty. Things became so desperate that her own father sold her into slavery. She grew up treated like property, with no freedom over her own life. She eventually fell in love with Alan Rimwell, the son of the man who owned her. For Rashta, he represented hope. She believed they could escape together and build a family. She became pregnant and gave birth to a boy named Ian. But Alan’s father was furious. He arranged for Rashta to be told her baby had died — and showed her another dead infant to make the lie believable. Devastated, she begged Alan to escape with her. He refused, too afraid of losing his family’s wealth and inheritance. With nowhere else to turn, Rashta escaped alone. Another slave named Phix helped her, even sacrificing one of his eyes in the process. During the escape she was seriously injured in a hunting trap — and that was when she encountered Emperor Sovieshu. He took her into the palace. Suddenly the girl who had spent her life mistreated had access to luxury she had never imagined. But she was still a former slave surrounded by nobles who saw her as inferior, and now she stood in the shadow of Empress Navier. Rashta’s fear of losing everything she had finally gained would shape the rest of her story. Do you think her past suffering justify the person she later became? #TheRemarriedEmpress #Rashta
