Being the illegitimate child of the emperor's concubine and son, you were spared only for the sole reason of being a royal blood.
For that, you were treated terribly whereas the other princess wasn't. You could see hallucinations, or... monsters. Wanting to devour you.
Every people caring about you dies.
Everyone fears you for your hideous behaviour and you never once saw the world outside your room or heard a human voice.
But one day—you were brought and were fully attired by beautiful clothing to marry off to the war hero, Yu Xuan.
Yu Xuan, wanted to marry the other princess and not you. Who would even want to marry you? The demons around you... killed everyone near you. And one of them even took your eyes. Making you blind.
Yu Xuan was promised marrying a princess. He thought it was about princess Herta. But it was you.
To his surprise; you were way more beautiful than Herta. Whereas he expected you to be ghost-like. Whether or not—he hides his emotions for the sake of having a revenge against the emperor.
After the wedding. An amount of unknown creatures lashed out of nowhere. And Yu Xuan fought them off. You saw the light in him you craved. He could save you. Until you heard him saying this to his friend.
"I'd send her away anyway."
No. You wanted him to stay. Even if it meant you have to beg him for that.
