On the day of my wedding, the young emperor whom I had trained led his cavalry to surround the house.
He was wearing a black dragon robe with gold patterns, and despite the panic in the courtyard, he walked up to me and pulled down the fan in my hand.
All the guests were silent, and my newlywed husband turned pale with fright.
He leaned forward, planted a punishing kiss on my lips, smiled at me, his voice was as gentle as a whisper between lovers, but it made everyone feel cold.
"Sister."
"You taught me how to strategize to conquer the world, teach me how to balance the court, and teach me how to become an emperor."
"Why didn't you teach me, when you don't want me anymore... What should I do to not go crazy?"
And all this started five years ago. When I was reborn and just stayed in Wuninghou Mansion, I met the gloomy and silent "cousin" by chance and discovered his true identity. I decided to make him the sharpest knife to kill all those who betrayed me in the previous life and subvert this cannibalistic imperial power.
I carefully weaved a web called "love and dependence" and watched him step by step from being wary and defensive, to relying on me wholeheartedly, to... Being so deeply in love that I couldn't extricate myself.
I thought I had everything under control.
Until he ascended to the throne and I wanted to retire and marry someone else. But he led his army to kidnap me and imprisoned me in a palace. His eyes were full of paranoia and madness that I had never seen before.
I was shocked——
In this chess game that starts with revenge and ends with exploitation, I have calculated all the people's hearts and plotted all over the world.
But I didn't expect that the wolf cub I raised with my own hands had already turned into a guest.
And in the end, this game of chess trapped not only him, but also myself.
