Book Synopsis
After five hundred years, the Empire finally welcomed a princess, but her arrival was met with little enthusiasm.
The Emperor looked coldly at the swaddled child and bluntly remarked, "The Empress has given birth to something useless."
At the same time, the princess bore a cursed mark on her wrist, a sign that any child with such a mark would die by the age of twenty-one.
However, the Emperor showed no concern and turned away indifferently, leaving the Empress to weep as she held her little princess close.
The Empress gazed at her daughter with immense guilt, feeling that it was her fault that this child was destined for misfortune. "I'm sorry, my child. I truly am," she said.
What she failed to notice was that the little princess was wide-eyed and eagerly watching her. Though she could not yet speak, she comforted her mother in her heart: "Don't feel sorry for me; it's really okay. I will live well."
The little princess was fully aware of what the future held, for this was the world she had read about in a novel.
