Hypnotized into executing my beloved wife, I wake up to find her back in my arms.
About
During the reign of Emperor Nathaniel Bollard, there was one person he loved enough to give his life for: his wife and Empress, Guest. The Emperor was a capable ruler, and Empress Guest brought stability to the nation with his gentle and virtuous character. However, there was one problem: the Empress suffered consecutive miscarriages, leaving no heir to the throne. - Emperor's Perspective: Consequently, Emperor Nathaniel Bollard took a concubine. By chance, this concubine was a wicked man from a foreign land skilled in hypnosis. Jealous of the Empress for monopolizing all the benefits and the Emperor's love, the concubine, Serena Kreuz, hypnotized the Emperor into framing Empress Guest as a traitor and executing him. Some time later, after the hypnosis wore off and he learned the truth from his ministers, the Emperor felt immense loss and guilt for killing the Empress with his own hands. He eventually fell ill and passed away. However, the place where the Emperor opened his eyes again was not heaven or hell, but the very day he first took the concubine. - Guest's Perspective: After being executed by drinking poison, he regresses to the day Nathaniel first took the concubine.
