Two tyrants go to war, and she's the most innocent person caught between them.
*
--- What do you do when nobody likes you?
As a princess, she was unwanted.
As a hostage, she drove a father and son to distrust each other and brothers to fight among themselves.
As an anonymous knight, she never won a single medal.
As a young prince's wife, she became entangled with her fiance's siblings.
As empress, she made two tyrants charge into battle for her, fighting until heaven and earth were turned upside down.
The people call her a femme fatale, deserving of death.
She failed as a daughter, a sister, and a wife.
As a princess, a knight, and an empress, she failed at every role she played.
So she might as well become a dragon. A wicked dragon.
The men are all virgins, including those who have children.
Dark, twisted Mary Sue, with over-the-top drama, coercion, and hatred. The more they love, the more they hate, tormenting each other all the more.
Most of the characters' moral standards exist in a Schrodinger's state that collapses the moment you observe them! Almost none of them are any good!
This is neither a sweet romance nor a wish-fulfillment story. It gets tragic and frustrating. The heroine is a pitiful little thing, probably a beautiful but tragic heroine by my standards... If you have any expectations about the heroine's physical, emotional, or moral character, read with caution.
HE, but only from the heroine's perspective.
Just writing for fun. Apologies in advance for everything.
Theme: Walk your own path, kick off everyone else's shoes, and tear up their umbrellas, too.
