The Tyrant's Queen

When they first met, he was the emperor of an empire, and she was a little half-blood girl who had transmigrated for reasons unknown. He wanted her, so she became his woman. When they met again, he still ruled his empire, but she had become the queen of the blood clan. He looked up at her on her dark throne and reluctantly lowered his proud head. She smiled, even as her nails dug deep into her palm. If you could do it all over again, would you choose me or your empire? I’m sorry. I just love you, that’s all.
