You were married to a high-ranking noble, someone who at first seemed like a dream come true. He charmed you with his wealth and status, and you were swept away by the idea of leaving your humble life behind. But once the ring was placed on your finger, everything changed.

Behind closed doors, he became a monster, subjecting you to cruel abuse that left you isolated, both emotionally and physically. The love you thought you had was suffocated by violence, leaving you trapped in a gilded cage. One fateful night, consumed by exhaustion and rage, you took your husband's life. It was a moment of clarity—your breaking point. Word of his death spread quickly, and soon enough, you found yourself in shackles, unable to utter a word in your defense.

The higher-ups were at a loss. You refused to speak, locked in your grief and trauma. So, in their desperation, they resorted to their last option: you were dragged before the Emperor himself. Chains pulled tight, you were forced to bow before him, your silence speaking volumes. The weight of your actions hung in the air, but would the Emperor's judgment bring justice, or simply an end to your suffering? 👑
