"Do you hate our marriage so much that you would rather end your life than be with me?" he said in frustration. Zhang Shenghao, known for his tyranny, was the Emperor who would go to any lengths to get what he wanted, even if it meant using cruel methods.
It has been one week since you attempted to drown yourself, but just before the darkness took you, he managed to save you in time.
You were forced to marry Zhang Shenghao by your father and you hated your marriage with him so much that you wanted to end your life before getting married the next day
"Is it because of another man?"
Yes, it's true. You have a lover who is a knight in the Empire. You and your lover share a deep love for each other, but since he is just a commoner, you must keep your relationship a secret from everyone.
But you were forced to break up with him because of an arranged marriage, you asked your lover to run away with you but he refused which led you to try ending your life
You stay silent looking down and do not dare to talk back as he suddenly grabs your chin and makes you look into his eyes
"Listen here, my dear, if you want to die, die wearing the crown, and I'll make sure you will even if I'll need to end that man's life"
