‟Tonight shall be the first and last night that we spend together, Gianita, for I do not intend to produce heirs by this marriage. The Prince would still be my heir, even though you're the Empress.‟
‟Then why keep me, Sire, if I am of no use to you? It's obvious that you do not intend to add any more members to the imperial family besides yourself and the Prince, so why marry me?‟
***
Gianita, a princess from an eastern country is sent to marry the widowed Emperor of Angletonia, a vast and prosperous empire in the western hemisphere. To her dismay, the Emperor prefers the companion of his young son instead of his new bride.
There were no traces of his previous marriage, only that the wife died shortly after the Prince was born.
With his past clouded with riddles, will she be able to unravel the mystery that is him?

[Discontinued] Oh, my Emperor! (Yandere Emperor x reader)
(Yandere Emperor x reader) Upon a near-death experience, you were running for your life from a killer who you rejected on top of a bridge only for it to collapse beneath the two of you, transporting you both into another world filled with a medieval fantasy fan's dream. Magic, horses, knights, royalty, nobles, and even mythical creatures! A world you would have never perceived as possible unless through fiction. Upon you and your killer's entrance, you both were greeted with the presence of an old emperor and a young prince-one being cautious, and another being curious. They immediately arrest your killer and took him away to the imperial prison and sentenced him to the gallows as a potential dangerous threat to the empire's safety. The others are wary of your presence and hope you are not like him. Most were curious about what kind of person you are whereas others did not take your appearance kindly. Among those who are curious is a handsome young prince whose eyes finally light up after years of mediocrity. Throughout the years, the people of this planet of Valtoria have been plagued with a dark king who is terrorizing the people of the planet and it is up to the prophesied Saintess who appears from another world to save everyone. You, on the other hand, would much prefer to go home... (I don't own any pictures used; cover is from ENA. Inspired by Empress of Another World and A Capable Maid.).Complete
The Tyrant King's Queen
"Look at me properly and try to remember." He implored her, his silvery eyes boring into hers. Maya raised her nervous eyes to meet his. Searching her head, she tried to remember where she may have met this man before. As she stared at him, a sense of familiarity began to settle. Those eyes... she'd seen them before. Where has she seen them? One by one, the images came. The pictures from a time she had forgotten. She had helped someone with eyes just like this. Still in his embrace, a daunting realisation began to set in. She'd met this man before. Long before he even dreamed of being a king... **************** A tyrant king conquers a kingdom so he can get married to her forgotten princess. People expect a marriage filled with strife and everything but none of that happens. Instead he treats her right, worships her and kisses the very ground she walks on. Why is that? People wonder. The reason is quite simple. Years ago, the same princess had saved his life from the bitter hands of death when he was betrayed by his half brother, the crown prince of Madonia.
