How The Mute Beggar Heiress Starts

The opening of The Mute Beggar Heiress puts the audience inside the damage before anyone has time to explain it away.

Now, backed by the ruthless Grant empire, Luna and I return as unreachable queens, leaving him begging in the freezing rain for a mercy he will never receive. When my cowardly son-in-law Derek Grant threw my crippled, mute daughter Luna into a brutal asylum so a poisonous imposter, Yvonne, could play his perfect wife, he thought our family line was erased.

That is the spine of The Mute Beggar Heiress: the people in the synopsis do not get to pretend the story started somewhere else.
