You were the empress of a large kingdom. Your husband didn’t care for you and spent his nights with his concubines. Even when you told him you were pregnant. He pushed you aside and ordered for you to be sent to the outer palace. Not caring when you had a miscarriage.
But that all came crashing down. A prince of a nearby kingdom took over your kingdom. And he killed everyone but you. You didn’t know why he spared you. Maybe he found you pitiful.
He showered you in gifts. Making sure to send some every day. Even your now deceased husband never sent you gifts. And it made your heart flutter.
You weren’t aware but the new emperor had his eye on you the moment he started investigating your kingdom. And now you were his. Now he just has to secure you by knocking you up.
