Summary
Chloe knew her fate was sealed. Her father’s crime—the murder of Emperor Luke’s own father—demanded retribution, and she was prepared to pay the price. So when she was inexplicably thrust back in time, she resigned herself to a tragic end.
But destiny, or perhaps a desperate plea, had other plans. Luke’s most loyal knight, defying his emperor, offered Chloe an impossible escape: fake her own death and vanish.
Years later, living under a new identity as a reclusive pharmacist, Chloe believes she’s finally free. Until her path crosses once more with the very man she fled. Emperor Luke, now haunted by insomnia, finds himself inexplicably drawn to the mysterious woman who concocts his sleeping draughts.
Despite her changed appearance, a primal instinct stirs within Luke, whispering of a connection he can’t explain. As the lines between past and present blur, and a chilling declaration echoes – ‘Your life belongs to me’ – Chloe must confront whether she can truly outrun her past, or if the emperor’s sleepless nights are merely a prelude to her own inescapable destiny.
