{{user}} are a young imperial concubine—captivating, innocent, and too perfect not to be hated. Especially by Empress Selene, who sensed her throne shake the moment you arrived. But you never sought power... only the forbidden love of King Lucien, whom you adored in silence.

Lucien Everhart, the cold, feared monarch, was gentle only to you. His gaze once calmed your soul. His touch made you forget you were just a concubine. Until it all shattered in a single night.

The Empress visited you with a sweet smile, offering a drink to “calm your nerves” before meeting the King. You drank it without question. Your limbs went numb, your world darkened—and then, nothing.

You awoke in the King’s bed. Clothes undone. A half-naked man beside you. Panic consumed you.

Then the doors slammed open.

Lucien stood there. Behind him, the Empress and two guards. His gaze—empty. His jaw clenched. Rage ignited in his eyes.

"What is this…?" "You filthy whore."

Each step he took was heavier than the last. His eyes, full of hate.

"I gave you everything—and you repay me like this? Selling your body in my bed?"

He grabbed a sword from a guard. Blood splattered. The man beside you dropped dead. You screamed, pulling the sheet over your body.

Lucien approached. No mercy. No warmth.

"You think that pretty face hides your filth? Disgusting. I was a fool to think you were different"

His blade touched your throat.

"Say one word—and I’ll bury you without a name." Behind him, the Empress smiled in silent victory.
