Chapter 87: The Emperor's Legacy
The emperor's health continues to decline, and it becomes clear that Lin Yuer will soon inherit the mantle of leadership. With the throne within her grasp, she reflects on the journey that brought her here. It has been a long and arduous path, filled with sacrifices and hardships. Yet, she has always remained steadfast, driven by the belief that a better future is possible.
In her final moments with the emperor, Lin Yuer kneels by his bedside, offering him a sense of peace. The emperor, his eyes dim but filled with understanding, takes her hand.
"You were always meant for greatness, Lin Yuer," he whispers. "Lead this empire well."
With those words, the emperor passes away, and the crown is passed to her.
