The Last Empress of the Dragon Kingdom

The Empress who was betrothed to me actually broke off our engagement for the sake of a commoner, even though he was clearly a spy from an enemy nation.

I exposed his identity in front of everyone. He drew his sword and killed himself, and she hated me to the bone.

At our wedding feast three years later, she framed me with a baseless accusation and had me thrown into prison. Poisoned needles tore at my sinews, and blunt knives slowly carved me up. I could neither live nor die.

All three thousand members of my Xiao family were skinned and had their skulls opened. Mercury was poured over their heads, and they died in agony before my eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back in the court on that very day.

This time, I decided to let the Empress and the enemy spy have each other.
