Cathy, the heiress of a marquis, was granted a marriage to the distinguished Prince Walter by the emperor. On the very day of the imperial decree, Walter rescued Cathy's cousin, Emma, from drowning. Pressured by Cathy's grandmother, Walter married both of them. After ascending the throne, he made Cathy his empress for a single day before poisoning her and her unborn child, then executing her entire family. It was later revealed that Emma had traveled from the modern era, and everything had been a plot orchestrated by her and Walter. Reborn on the day of the marriage decree, Cathy decisively rejected Walter and instead chose Prince Kyle, the notorious playboy, whose reckless reputation was merely a facade. Together, they rose to the highest positions, and Kyle eventually became the next emperor.
