I became the empress of a BL novel I'd been reading.
In the novel, the emperor was a tyrant who executed the empress for marrying a man... ... .
It turned out the empress was just as wicked as the emperor.
The emperor, infatuated with a man, locked his longtime wife in a tower and starved her to death.
He knelt before Bellmay.
The emperor's wet hair hung limply.
He looked like a dog soaked in rain, its fur all soaked.
"It was all my fault..."
Bellmay bent down and brushed his bangs back.
The wet hair clung together and then fell apart.
He responded delicately to her touch.
"I'm sorry... Please, I hope your heart will be at peace."
