"This belongs to our family. For many years this hairpin passed to daughter from mother. You can wear it today." .......................... "Oh my empress, this servant thought you wouldn't wakeup..." She said wiping her tears. "Yeah well I'm fine..." I said stretching my body and then it hit me. I quickly sat up. "Wait... what did you say? What did you call me?" I asked the girl. "My empress... This servant is really sorry your highness... this servant didn't think you would wake up after last night. You were pale and didn't look well.... But this servant so happy now..." She said with a face splitting wide smile. "Empress" I muttered to myself. "EMPRESS" then yelled. The girl looked at me confused and nodded. "EMPRESS WHO???" I shouted. And then it hit me for the second time. I wasn't speaking English. It was Chinese. I was speaking Chinese. ---------------------- "No way in the hell I would experience all the palace dramas like in those books." "That stupid emperor can go to hell"

Someone once asked me: if I were to be reborn one time what would I want to be? I answered, "General" Because I like it when girls are tough and yes, no need for the romance part because, in the end, guys prefer girls who need to be protected. Little did I know my wish could come true when I got run over by a car one day and woke up as an infant the next day. DISCLAIMER! NONE OF THE IMAGES I'VE USED IN THIS STORY IS MINE.

One Year, that's what they agreed upon. That's why she worked so hard to please him. That's why she did everything in her power to help him and his people. So she could live her second life, the way she wanted. In peace. One Year, they promised each other. To live a life as husband and wife. One Year, to convince everyone that they were a loving couple. One Year, to gather information on his enemies. One Year, to gather as much support and power from the royal court to his side. One Year, of playing pretend and fooling the whole Kingdom of their fake love story. Little did she know, it only took One Year for him to fall in love with her. Will he keep to his word of One Year? Or go back on it and break their promise?
