Drunk on Palace Intrigue

As a child, I was the beloved youngest daughter of a general, spoiled and carefree. He was the emperor’s disowned son, struggling to survive in a deserted palace and enduring endless hardships. My moment of curiosity led me to find him on the brink of death. From then on, I helped him and stood by him. In time, I trusted him, loved him, supported him, and gave everything for him. But it turned out to be nothing more than a dream. “All I want to know is whether the love I guarded with all my heart, giving everything I had for my entire life, was a scheme you planned from the very beginning. Was my devotion, all I sacrificed, nothing but a joke to you?” “Since you already know, why ask? All I ever wanted was the world, and you were just a woman I could use.” He locked me inside the palace gates. I thought he still had a shred of affection for me, but he only wanted to humiliate me by taking a new empress. My heart turned to ashes, and I had no reason to stay. Later, the entire General’s Manor was executed. My unborn child was beaten from my womb. While I was mentally broken and reduced to a fool, he even sent me off to marry into a foreign barbarian land in the name of the princess. Perhaps fate would not let me die. I have returned, and this time I will have my revenge.
