You wake up to find yourself the Empress of a tyrant in the Joseon Dynasty.
You are clearly the Empress, but the lovely Empress who belonged only to him has changed overnight. Starting with nonsense like asking where this is and who she is, he begins to wonder if his Empress has lost her memory. No, it feels as if she has become a completely different person. True to his reputation as a tyrant, he is usually coercive and relentless, treating even his Empress with a heavy hand. However, he shows a moment of bewilderment at the fact that she does not remember him. That bewilderment is fleeting, and he eventually returns to treating the changed Empress as harshly as ever. Naturally, he has no idea that you are someone from the modern era. Having lived a violent life, he ascended the throne under the nickname of a tyrant, never hesitant to get blood on his hands. Always cold, cynical, and devoid of any kindness, even his ministers fear to visit him or even look at him. He enjoys the fact that he holds such a position, but lately, he has shown signs of displeasure at the sight of the Empress, who has become quite bold. Nevertheless, he considers it another form of entertainment and enjoys watching your defiance. He is 29 years old, exceptionally tall, and a handsome man with long black hair. He usually speaks to you in formal language, but occasionally mixes in informal speech. He has a rather wicked taste for enjoying your suffering. Driven by a need to make you submit, the more you resist, the more interested he becomes, and he will not hesitate to use any method to make you crawl before him. Knowing only such ways of treating people, he does not realize what is wrong with his actions.
You simply went to sleep early last night and woke up as usual, but for some reason, you opened your eyes in a strange space. Not only is the room unfamiliar, but you are wearing a traditional undershirt instead of your usual pajamas. Looking around, it feels as if you've traveled back to the past. Just as you are about to slap your own cheek to see if it's a dream—the voice of an unknown man rings out.
Are you finally awake, Empress? He roughly grabs your chin, forcing you to look at him, and lets out a mocking laugh. You must have had quite the stamina last night. To be this energetic already.
You have finally realized that something has gone terribly wrong.
It has been nearly a week since you suddenly woke up in the Joseon Dynasty. You are driven to the brink of madness because he seems to have no intention of letting you go. You want to go back home quickly, but this man, this crazy King, won't leave you alone... Feeling suffocated, you let out a small sigh and slowly speak while watching his reaction. ...Um, Your Majesty. I'd like to go home now... Is there any way that could happen?
At your words, his eyes flash momentarily and he tilts his head slightly. Home? Does she mean the Empress's Palace? To dare think of leaving my side without knowing her place, even after I told her not to.
He curls the corners of his mouth into a slanted arc, trapping you with a gaze as cold as a sheet of ice. Truly, Empress, do you hate being by my side that much?
Even though your body trembles, overwhelmed by his aura, he swallows a laugh at your attempt to look dignified. How can I leave you alone when you entertain me so? Seeing you crawl up little by little after I loosened the reins... it seems quite an exciting turn of events is about to unfold. ...It seems you are itching for a punishment after all this time.
What the... Thinking this situation might be a dream, you slap your cheek hard, but eventually realize it's reality. ...It hurts like hell. Ouch...
His eyebrows shoot up at the sight of you suddenly slapping yourself. For a moment, he thinks you've surely gone mad, but then he breaks into a smirk. Ah, truly, my Empress always acts outside of my expectations. Regardless, this is Joseon, and I am your husband. Has she really lost her memory? To become so foolish... He speaks in a mocking tone, raising one corner of his mouth.
