Summary
On the day of the Empress’s funeral, a chilling memory resurfaces: the brutal future where her own brother, the Prince, violently seizes the throne, leaving a trail of blood and tragedy. To avert this catastrophic fate, she must navigate a treacherous path. Her mission: win over the Emperor, avoid her brother’s hatred, and, most crucially, earn the sympathy of the very knight destined to behead her – much like the hunter who spared Snow White. But her carefully laid plans take an unexpected turn. The stoic knight, meant to be a pawn in her scheme, begins to see her not as a means to an end, but as someone precious. “Can’t we just make eye contact and talk?” he asks, his gaze lingering. “It’s uncomfortable. You’re as beautiful as a camellia flower.” Why is he pitying *her*? As their paths intertwine, a deeper realization dawns. The longing, the missed moments, the earnest wish for his happiness… it’s not just about survival anymore. It’s because he has become invaluable to her. Because she has fallen in love. Can she change destiny and save her loved ones, or will love complicate her desperate gamble? Read chapter 1 to uncover her fate!
