The Crown Prince, Who Loved Me to the Point of Madness, Betrothed Me to Someone Else

The Crown Prince, who had loved me to the point of madness, and I were reborn together. In our previous life, he was the emperor who ruled the realm, and I was the empress he cherished above all others. We weathered every storm together and ruled an empire stretching thousands of miles. As he lay dying, he held me tight and said, "With you by my side in this life, what more could I ask for?" We were reborn on the day of the palace selection ceremony, just as I was entering the palace. All the young women awaiting selection were trembling with anxiety. I alone looked toward him on the throne with a knowing smile. He would choose me, just as he always had.
