Beloved Empress of a Golden Age: I Was Wrong

She had lived two lives and thought this one would pass just as quietly, but then she met him. As an emperor, how could he have everything go his way? Yet for her, he would defy all odds. The moon was still the same moon as before. In a daze, she saw its clear light reflected in a mountain spring, as if she had returned to the days when they had risked their lives beyond the palace walls. He took her out to eat, drink, and explore. His eyes shone like the stars filling the sky, bright and dazzling, as though they held all the world's beauty. She would always remember when he said, “In this life, you alone are the one for me. I will use my power and position to protect you from worry for a hundred lifetimes, and with this heart of mine, I will send my thoughts to you beneath the distant moon.” He did not know those were the most beautiful words of love she had ever heard.
