Being born into this imperial family, he was inherently tainted, yet she always maintained a pure, unblemished heart.
The greatest regret of his life was being her uncle, and yet, the greatest joy of his life was also being her uncle.
He could never forget her hateful gaze as she sipped the poison, it pierced him, leaving him battered and torn apart inside.
He would prefer her to hate him alone, rather than have her bear the shame and hate of a thousand insults and scoffs.
Such were his selfish thoughts.
They could not be together during their lifetime, but he wished to rest beside her in death.
He adorned her with makeup and a crimson wedding dress, their cup was filled with poison!
Regretting their different times of birth, he vowed to protect her in every life to come!
If there is a next life, I will no longer be your uncle but your husband…
