She was the most perfect defective specimen in the Moon Goddess biolab of 2180, codenamed E001. After a botched mission in another space-time, she fell into the sixteenth-century Ottoman Empire, straight into the hands of the one man she should never have provoked.
He was the notorious Suleiman the Magnificent, who seized the throne by killing his brother and razed cities without blinking. He had so many women in his harem that even he couldn't keep count. Yet he set his sights on her: silver hair, violet eyes, and secrets from head to toe.
She ran, he chased. She ran again, and he sealed off the entire city.
"You can't escape."
"If I really wanted to leave, you couldn't stop me."
She stayed because, suddenly, she didn't want to run anymore. Why did he keep her? Was it anything besides wounded pride? He killed everyone who tried to hurt her and had every woman carrying a boy drowned. The entire palace said the emperor had gone mad. Only she knew he was simply afraid: afraid she'd vanish without a trace again.
But how could a heartless person understand his fear?
Until the day she knelt before him to beg him to spare an old servant. Only then did he understand: she wasn't heartless. Her heart simply had room only for those she chose to let in.
"Did you ever love me at all?"
She didn't answer. She only placed her hand over his chest.
There, a heart was beating for her.
