The Tyrant's Only Queen

Synopsis

In my previous life, my elder sister Victoria Wynn had forced me to marry Edward Langley, the disgraced crown prince exiled to a remote borderland, all so she could become Henry Langley, the reigning Crown Prince's wife. Little did anyone know that once Henry seized the throne, he turned into a ruthless tyrant. Within three years, he had Victoria put to death in the cruelest way imaginable. Edward, on the other hand, had spent those years training his army on the frontier. He marched back to the capital, reclaimed the throne, and I became his queen, honored by the whole realm. He not only disbanded the entire imperial harem but also promised to love me for all eternity. With a second chance in life, the moment the royal edict was announced, Victoria cried before the throne and begged the king to grant her the marriage. She wept prettily, claiming she had long held deep affection for Edward and was willing to accompany him into exile and endure all hardship. The king granted her wish. As she walked past me, she leaned in and whispered with a wild, triumphant smile, "Dear sister, this unbelievable wealth and glory is mine at last. You go and wait on that tyrant instead." I was about to speak when Edward shot me a look of pure disgust. He took Victoria's hand and said sharply, "Pay no mind to this vain, glory-hungry woman. Let's go."
