To keep the military under control, the emperor betrothed him to a scheming princess. He also made me a commandery princess to placate the old guard.
In this game of political intrigue, he and I were both pawns with no say in our own fates.
The inner palace was treacherous, and the princess made my life difficult. I lost my child and my memories, enduring one bloody trial after another.
He protected me, suspected me, and was ultimately forced to push me away.
In this life, love and the empire cannot both be kept.
In the end, the throne was not betrayed, and neither was deep love. Only you and I were betrayed.
