Original Story! Yieun thinks her only way out of her suffocating family is marriage to a mysterious man far, far away. But the man she meets is different from the rumours. Who is this man she married? ***** Snippet **** It had been a long day. Despite the sound of music and cheers sliding in through the doors, Yieun was almost falling asleep. She tried to stretch her legs and arms in an attempt to wake herself up, but the sleeve of her dress got stuck to a hairpin. Shit. Before she could free herself, she heard the door creak, and then footsteps. She sat facing away from the door, so she didn't see her husband's face until he had made his way in front of her. "Are you alright?" Naevren tilted his head slightly, studying his new wife. "I apologise, My Lord, I got myself stuck." Yieun wanted to sink through the floor. This was not how she wanted to greet her husband. Gingerly, Naevren detangled her clothes from her hairpin, then proceeded to remove the rest of her hairpins. He was standing close to her, and Yieun felt like she could feel the warmth radiating from his body. **** *This is an original work of mine, not a translated work.* UPDATES EVERY WEDNESDAY AND SUNDAY

To the country she was born to, she is Princess Le-Anne, the king's illegitimate daughter hidden in the shadows. To the empire she is sold to, she is Lady Wei Li Lian, a traitorous spy sent to infiltrate an enemy throne. But who is she really? Gifted with rare beauty and keen intelligence, Li Lian once desired nothing more than a peaceful, ordinary life. She dreamed of traveling distant lands and living freely, far away from politics and power. That fragile dream shattered the moment her estranged royal father finally noticed her existence. To him, she was not a daughter, but a tool. She was given one mission. Enter the enemy empire of Nevoria. Seduce its emperor. Survive the harem. Become empress. And hand the empire to her homeland. From a young age, she trained relentlessly in etiquette, strategy, and deception. She learned how to smile while scheming, how to walk through danger without leaving a trace. She would maneuver through the Nevorian court, evade the vipers of the inner palace, send secret missives in the dead of night, and climb her way to the phoenix throne. It should have been simple. So why did no one warn her? The greatest threat was never the harem, but the emperor himself. Cold, inscrutable, and merciless, he ruled with an iron fist and revealed nothing of his thoughts. Every encounter between them felt like a silent confrontation, where one misstep could lead to quiet destruction. Those eyes of his held no warmth, only sharp calculation, as if he had already seen through every lie she told herself. _____________________________ Cover By Ei_Daisuki
