When the emperor was under attack, my husband, the commander of the imperial guards, was busy pampering his sulking former lover. I didn't fire the signal flare. Instead, heavily pregnant, I planted myself in front of the emperor, turning my body into a human shield. In my previous life, the moment I lit that flare, my husband abandoned his former love to save the emperor. He was rewarded for his bravery, named Marquis Protector, but his former love fell into a trap and died instantly. On the surface, he said nothing, but on the day I gave birth, he threw me into the Beast Pit. Through the pain, I demanded an explanation. He only gave me a cold glance. He said, "The emperor has countless guards around him. Why should it be me? You only care about power and wealth. You deliberately made me risk my life to save him. "If you hadn't lit the flare, Yuyan wouldn't have died. For her suffering, I will make you pay double!" I was devoured by the beasts, my unborn child lost along with me. Then I opened my eyes, and I was back on the day of the emperor's assassination.
