I extended my hand and lifted the knight’s chin.
The heat from where our skin touched rose and seeped into me. That warmth wound around my heart and was then swallowed by my soul.
It was a power inherent to my soul, regardless of whether I had a magic core.
“You’ll do that, won’t you?”
I smiled, as only a demon could.
There was no need to hear his answer.
Leonarda Nix.
Also known as Empress Nix, she was a political marriage partner for the current Emperor.
Her maiden name was Ahillo.
From a house represented by a lion standing in a pool of blood, holding an enemy’s heart in its mouth.
With the backing of the Eastern Nobility Alliance and support from the capital’s nobility and retired political figures who had moved to the business sector, she was a political powerhouse. The eldest daughter of the Duke of Ahillo.
At first glance, Leonarda could have lived fearlessly in the world, arrogantly and proudly reigning over all humans.
But surprisingly, she was a powerless empress, only in title.
There were two reasons for this.
Firstly, the Emperor loved his childhood friend, a saint. There was no room for Leonarda in their fated love.
Secondly, Leonarda had been frail since childhood, hardly able to walk.
Prickly and sensitive, yet deeply lonely, Leonarda frequently changed lovers.
While doing so, she also harbored unrequited love for the Emperor, and clung to and whined at her escort knight, Derek, whenever she faced cold treatment from the Emperor.
However, it was difficult to blame Leonarda for everything, given the reactions of those around her.
Her physician had been saying since she was four that her life would be short, unlikely to exceed thirty. Thus, everyone around her overly coddled the precious lady.
Her parents, the Duke and Duchess of Ahillo, never scolded her, no matter how much she misbehaved or was stubborn.
Gather several men with strong vital energy to be by my side.
Absorb their vital energy to extend my life, which is as worthless as a fallen leaf.
In the meantime, gather information about Enrique and plan my revenge!
Becoming human has one good point.
Revenge.
I tapped the date on the newspaper that had come in this morning.
‘February 28th, 666.’
Five years had passed since the day I died at my husband’s hands.
Enrique is still alive, which is good.
Living in the body of the empress, I will eventually cross paths with him.
‘Once I know where he is, I will exact a brutal and cruel revenge.’
I gritted my teeth.
‘But I can’t get anywhere near Enrique without completing step 1. My weakened soul might be burned by his holy power.’
Even though I had let my guard down, Enrique had enough holy power to kill me. And he was adept enough to conceal that power without a trace.
He was a human who received God’s merciful love without limit.
Recalling the pure, chilling holy power that Enrique wielded, I shivered.
Honestly, I couldn’t even guess how much magic power I would need to kill him.
‘I have to be careful. If they find out I’ve possessed the body of Empress Nix, they will certainly try to obliterate me this time.’
It was then.
“Your Majesty the Empress. That cunning saint! She has sent another man!”
Madame Bertolt, the chief stewardess of the Empress’s palace, entered furiously.
Madame Bertolt, who had served Leonarda since her days in her father’s house, was as loyal as Derek.
Such anger from Madame Bertolt was not a good sign for the empress. But for me, it was intriguing news.
“A man?”
“Yes! This time she sent a doctor. It’s outrageous…! It’s an insult to Your Majesty’s reputation. Even strangling that saint wouldn’t relieve this anger!”
Ah, so that’s it.
The story goes that the empress, rumored to be bedridden with a fever, was sent a doctor…
‘And these men happen to be young and robust?’
I had to struggle to hide the smile creeping onto my lips.
I’ve found my ginseng!
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.

Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
