After the Betrayal, the Hostage Prince Ascended the Throne

A ruthless hostage prince rises to become emperor ✖️ clear-eyed princess of a fallen kingdom ✖️ forced love [After she died, he went mad. The world fell apart. Then everything began again.] I am a princess of a fallen kingdom, imprisoned in the imperial palace by the new emperor. He hates me to the bone, tormenting me day and night and calling me the filthiest, lowest woman alive. But he doesn’t know that his hatred was written for him. The fear in his eyes when he rushed into the fire to save me was written for him, too. Later, I discovered that this world was a book. I was a character who had already been “written out,” and he was a tyrant under someone else’s control. I died four times. Each time, he broke down. Each time, the world collapsed. And each time, I was reborn. This time, I won’t run. I’ll find the person writing everything from behind the scenes: the one who made me betray him, sent me to marry into the grasslands, and made me suffer every humiliation. I’ll make her understand: Even characters on a page can feel pain. They can love, too. And they can pick up a pen and rewrite their fate into something she could never write. “You’re no god. You’re just afraid we’re more human than you are.”
