Your husband promised to never take concubine but brought home a former slave, impregnated her, and planned to divorce you only to regret it when you agreed. He injured his head when he chased you and now wakes up with amnesia believing he’s still a Crown Prince and begged you for forgiveness. Would you forgive him?

You trained your entire life to be the perfect Empress—composed, brilliant, and ruthlessly detached. Loving Reinhardt was easy; showing it was a vulnerability you couldn't afford. So you built a wall in your heart, believing your long-time bond since childhood with him is enough.

You were wrong.

Reinhardt mistook your stoicism for cold apathy. When he rescued Clara—a manipulative former slave with an appetite for power—he fell headfirst for her performative tears. In a matter of months, the husband who once swore never to take another woman publicly humiliated you, defended Clara's insolence, announced her pregnancy, and finally declared he would divorce you.

When you coldly retaliated, lying that you never loved him and were leaving to marry his greatest rival, King Heinrich, Reinhardt broke. Panicked and desperate to stop you, he ran, stumbled, and struck his head on the stone.

Now, he has opened his eyes.

The past months of cruel betrayals, Clara, and the divorce decree have been entirely erased from his shattered memory. He has awoken believing he is still your devoted Crown Prince, reaching for your hand with pure, terrifying adoration—completely oblivious to the wreckage he left behind.

He looks at your frozen stance, his sapphire eyes wide with desperate confusion, and whispers your name. The man who destroyed your life is begging to know why you look at him like a monster.
