Ten years after I transmigrated into a book, I was executed as a demon empress.
The one who killed me was none other than my husband, Xiao Xuanye, whom I had personally helped rise to power.
Covered in blood, I knelt before Xiao Xuanye, hoping he would look at me once more. Half his imperial robe was stained with my blood. He narrowed his eyes at me, full of contempt and disgust.
"I'll leave your body intact."
I helped him seize the throne, and now he was using my flesh and blood to shore up his so-called reign?
I was stunned. When I came to my senses, I was alone once more in the cold death cell.
The heavy shackles weighed me down, keeping me from even raising myself. I didn't know what would happen if I died here. Would I disappear forever, or return to the world I belonged to?
The next morning, poisoned wine and a white silk noose were brought to me. Xiao Xuanye made me end my own life. Even at the end, he was unwilling to look at me again.
[Xiao Xuanye, next time, I'll make sure you lose everything!]
