To the Villain I Once Loved

I entered a loveless engagement.

The consequences of my unrequited love for a man who despised me were devastating.

By a chance of fate, I return to before everything happened, but cruel destiny entangles us together once again.

“I feel as though I have fallen into Your Imperial Highness’s world.”

The next Emperor, the true ruler of the empire, and the usurper of the Golden Hawk.

That beautiful yet wicked man cast me aside with cold cruelty once he had achieved his goals.

“Just kill me.”

“Even in death, you won’t be able to escape me.”

But if I were given one more chance.

If I am granted a second chance, just as he was given two, then this time, I absolutely…

I absolutely will not fall in love with him.

I wanted to leave, and in doing so, finally put an end to this love.

This time, I truly wanted to do just that.
