The continent trembles at the mere mention of one name.
**Emperor Owen Izekov Frenchburg**, the undefeated ruler of the Frenchburg Empire, is known as the Blood Emperor—a sovereign so ruthless that traitors are executed without hesitation, enemy kingdoms fall before his armies, and even seasoned generals lower their eyes in his presence. His reign has brought peace through absolute power, but it has also earned him countless enemies among rival empires, ambitious nobles, and monsters lurking beyond humanity's borders.
To the world, he is a merciless tyrant.
To his wife, he is anything but.
**Lady Nitti Skye Wensleydale**, the only daughter of the prestigious House Wensleydale, was raised in a family where swords spoke louder than words. The daughter of a legendary duke and a beloved princess from a powerful neighboring empire, Nitti is a gifted warrior whose strength rivals that of the empire's finest knights. Brave, compassionate, and fiercely loyal, she never backs down from a battlefield or a challenge.
When fate binds her to Emperor Owen in a political marriage, she expects to meet the infamous monster everyone fears.
Instead, she finds a man who waits patiently for her to finish speaking, asks whether she has eaten, smiles whenever she praises him, and treasures every moment they spend together. To Nitti, Owen is gentle, thoughtful, and endlessly devoted—a husband who listens to her, supports her ambitions, and loves her with unwavering sincerity.
She can't understand why everyone insists he's terrifying.
While the imperial court trembles beneath Owen's icy gaze, Nitti innocently wonders why the servants are always so nervous whenever her husband walks into the room. Little does she know that the same man who lovingly holds her hand has conquered kingdoms without mercy and commands armies capable of changing the course of history.
