Summary
Born as the daughter of the most noble being, yet destined to live the most tragic life—
Kartia Vistid.
A mere side character who ultimately meets her end at the hands of her father, the mad emperor.
She was a character in a novel—one I ended up possessing.
In her first life, she tried to survive by aligning with the Duke of Evia.
In her second, she fled to a distant foreign land.
In her third, she became a rebel opposing the emperor.
Yet in every life, she was killed by someone else,
and each time she opened her eyes again, the cursed life repeated.
So this time, she decided to change her fate—
If death is inevitable no matter what, she would become emperor herself.
She would take the hand of the very man destined to kill her—her father—
and enjoy everything as the sole heir to the throne.
But first, she needed to escape the tower where she was imprisoned.
“From now on, I’m not eating anything.”
Thus began the hunger strike of a timid, frail seven-year-old princess.
“You want to join the Imperial Knights but refuse to swear loyalty to the royal family? Then don’t. I’ll understand like a family member would.”
She gathers the heir of House Evia, who was her family, friend, and knight in her first life.
“Your brothers keep trying to kill you? Then how about coming to our empire as a hostage? At least your life will be safe.”
She looks after the foreign prince who had always been by her side in her second life.
“Let’s get engaged for now. You’re a righteous person, so you’ll spare me, right?”
She even goes so far as to get engaged to the male lead of the original novel—the man who was destined to kill the mad emperor.
To rewrite her doomed future,
Kartia must move relentlessly in this bittersweet yet spirited story of conquering an empire. And—
“How could I not love you? But because I love you, I wish for your death.”
As the truth behind the emperor’s descent into madness and the secrets surrounding Kartia begin to unravel,
her resolve begins to change completely.
