*Empress Dowager's POV
I stopped counting the years I have stayed in the palace. I can still remember when I was young, my only dream was to marry the young prince whom I fell in love with. Back then, I was just a princess who was in love with a total stranger. I remember begging and begging my royal father to identify the prince for me. It was because of that same love that I made my father send soldiers just to help this prince ascend the throne. The day I married the late emperor was the most happiest day of my life.
