“This marriage is nothing more than a political maneuver. —A complete waste of time.”

The ruthless, cold-hearted emperor was once executed as the enemy of the world. The ‘saint’ who loved him despite it all also perished. A thousand years later, she reincarnates as Princess Sheila and regains memories of her past life.

The ‘evil emperor’ she once loved had chosen death to save the world. Reborn in this life as Clive, he once again tries to sacrifice himself for the world.

Determined to save Clive this time around, Sheila pushes through a political marriage with him. But Clive—her new husband—completely rejects her.

“I don’t mind being the hated empress!”

Undeterred by his coldness, Sheila showers Clive with persistent love and desperately searches for a future where he survives. However, she doesn’t realize one thing:

“…You still don’t know—I've been in love with you all this time.”

It turns out Clive also remembers his past life—and he’s been deeply in love with Sheila all along.

Thus begins a battle of love and fate between a woman trying to save the man she once lost… and a man unable to confess his undying love.
