She was a princess, the daughter of the undefeated emperor. In an instant, the enemies overran the palace, and her father fell before her eyes.

She screamed, ran toward him, tears streaming down her cheeks. She grasped his sword tightly and lunged at his killer.

But a strong hand stopped her. He grabbed her wrist and said coldly, "Don't even try... Are you his daughter? Wow, I didn't expect you to be this beautiful."

She looked at him with anger mixed with pain. "Leave me, killer!"

He smiled, raising his eyebrow slightly. "And who will my wife be if you leave? From today... you are my wife." Before she could respond, he wrapped his hand around her waist, lifting her up as if she were nothing.

The guards around them shouted, "Congratulations on the new emperor! Congratulations!"

Amidst her astonishment and tears, she realized... She was now a captive... an empress on a stolen throne, and the wife of the one who killed her father.
