**"I didn't choose this... Destiny chose me."** I was never meant to change history. All I wanted was a quiet life, surrounded by forgotten relics and the stories they carried. Working for an artifact collector was my dream... until one discovery shattered everything I knew. In the blink of an eye, I was ripped from the present and thrown into the heart of ancient Japan. A world consumed by war. A world where a stranger like me doesn't belong. Every step I take could mean death. Every mistake could alter history forever. Then... I met him. A legendary general whose strength commands the battlefield and whose presence steals my breath. I should fear him. I should stay away. Instead... I fall hopelessly in love. As I desperately search for a way back to my own time, an impossible question begins to haunt me. **Do I truly want to go home?** But destiny is never kind. He is already bound by marriage. I have been chosen to become the emperor's newest concubine. Our love is forbidden-condemned by duty, honor, and the countless lives that depend on the choices we make. Every path leads to heartbreak. Every stolen moment brings us closer to ruin. With history itself standing against us... Can love rewrite fate? Or are some destinies written in blood... and impossible to escape?
