Synopsis
One-day empress Astelle rebuilds life after divorce, reunites with ex-husband Kaizen amid secrets and court intrigue.
Astelle von Lestern spent ten years preparing to become the perfect empress during her engagement to Crown Prince Kaizen Rastiel. However, their marriage ends abruptly on their wedding night when the old emperor passes away and Kaizen dissolves their union, claiming it was merely his father's dying wish. With quiet dignity, Astelle accepts her fate as the one-day empress and severs ties with her ambitious family. As she begins to build a new life away from the palace, Astelle finds herself facing unexpected circumstances that force her to make difficult choices about her future. Years later, when circumstances beyond her control bring her back into Kaizen's orbit, she must navigate the treacherous waters of court politics while protecting secrets that could change everything. Their reunion sets in motion a complex dance of power, duty, and hidden truths that will test both their resolve and the boundaries of their past relationship.
