[False tyrant, true wise ruler top x transmigrator, dragon-proud bottom]
He killed me seven times.
The first time, he was a slave from a defeated nation. I never once looked him in the eye, yet he brought my dynasty to an end.
The second time, I killed him first, but still couldn't escape the destruction of my country and family.
The third time, I schemed every step, but he would rather die than yield, taking me with him.
Eventually, I grew tired.
Once I took the throne, I was doomed to die at his hands.
The eighth time, I ignored everyone's objections, nurtured him, handed him the throne with my own hands, and placed the crown on his head. All I wanted was to escape the fate that bound us together.
I thought this was what you wanted.
But he blocked my way in the palace hall. "You want to dump the throne on me and run away with someone?"
Only later did I learn that he came from a thousand years in the future.
