After I Faked My Death, the Female Emperor Knelt and Begged Me Not to Leave Her

I was thrust into a tragic romance novel world, and the System ordered me to win the female lead's affection. I spent ten years elevating the neglected princess to the throne, making her empress. Yet on the very first day of her reign, she had me thrown into prison. All because she had fallen in love with the male lead again, the hostage prince from an enemy kingdom. To vent her anger on his behalf, the female lead, Ruoxi, ordered my tendons severed, then shoved me into icy water in the dead of winter to torture me. But after I failed my mission and my soul was scattered, she knelt before the Buddha, crying and begging me to come back.
