Summary
One moment, I was just an ordinary reader, lost in the pages of a sweet romance novel. The next, I awoke to a horrifying reality: I *am* Charlion, the tragic empress, the villainess mother, and the woman destined for a devastating end. In the novel, Charlion was a broken soul, forced to marry the ruthless Emperor who annihilated her homeland and slaughtered her family. She became a symbol of misery, abusing her own child before succumbing to despair and taking her own life.
But this isn’t the novel’s story anymore. I’ve been thrust into Charlion’s past, before her fate is sealed. Now, I’m trapped in a gilded cage with the man who destroyed everything she held dear – a tyrant who conquered kingdoms and claimed her as a spoil of war. Can I, as Charlion, defy destiny? Can I navigate the treacherous imperial court, protect my future child, and perhaps even… plant a heart in the emperor, changing both our tragic paths? Or am I doomed to repeat her miserable end? Discover how this new Charlion will rewrite her fate. Read chapter 1 now!
