60 epsMy Sister's Killer Fell for Me
While the emperor bathed in the perfumes she blended to soothe his shattered mind, the hostage bride was measuring the exact dose that would kill him.
Three thousand years of wandering ended with her opera house in ruins and the four clans who betrayed her still wearing borrowed crowns.
Maria has walked the earth for millennia, founded an opera house, and backed causes long before anyone wrote them down. When the Four Imperial Clans turned on her, she sealed their souls in Ghost City under the Great Emperor's torment and retreated into the mountains to cultivate.
A century passed. Her name faded, her opera house decayed, and the Servile Clans grew fat on what she left behind. Now she's back, and she wants it all returned — beginning with the M Mansion, then the clans that groveled, then the Emperor who has been running her prison. She has the power. What she doesn't have is time to be merciful.
