The Abandoned Empress

The Castina Empire, proud of its thousand-year history.

Ariestia la Monique, the only daughter of the Marquis Monique’s family, grows up as the designated future empress by divine prophecy.

But an unexpected change befalls her!

One day, a mysterious girl appears at the palace lake,

and she is raised up as the empress instead.

In the end, Ariestia enters the palace not as the “empress,” but as the “imperial consort”….

Yet what Ariestia desperately wanted was not the empress’s throne or power,

but only the emperor’s love!

But……

"Ariestia la Monique, a criminal, is hereby sentenced to beheading for all crimes, including attempted regicide!"

"The only crime I committed was loving you…!"

Rejected coldly and trampled underfoot,

the ill-fated woman vanishes on the scaffold.

But fate grants her one more life!

"The unavoidable decision given to you humans,

that is what fate is."

Ariestia regresses to the age of ten.

Her father’s love, found again,

and new connections beginning anew….

"Which is a dream, and which is reality?

Is my fate repeating once more?"
