I Was Meant to Die in Six Months, But I Made the Tyrant Emperor Fall for Me

Summary

"Don't die, Kaena. I can't imagine a world without you." ...The emperor who was supposed to kill me—why is he so obsessed with me? One day, Kaena realizes she's nothing more than a minor character destined to be poisoned to death by the tyrant emperor Zarius in six months. Determined to survive, she secretly takes an antidote and devises a plan: when the day of her "death" arrives, she'll fake it, escape the imperial palace, and disappear for good. To make that possible, Kaena plays the role of the emperor's perfectly obedient wife, hoping to earn his trust and avoid suspicion. But things don't go according to plan. The cold-hearted Zarius, who was never meant to open his heart to anyone, gradually becomes fixated on her... A sacrificial empress fated to die rewrites her destiny in this fantasy romance, where a loveless tyrant emperor falls hopelessly devoted to the very woman he was meant to kill.
