Tyrantemperor Stories

She had no face. No name. That's how irrelevant she was. Not the villainess. Not a supporting character. Not even cannon fodder. Just a blurry girl in a yellow dress somewhere in the background. And Mari was perfectly happy with that. She knew this story.The heroine would fall in love with the Crown Prince. The villainess would cause trouble. There would be scandals, heartbreak, political intrigue, and-eventually-a happily ever after. None of it had anything to do with her. Wonderful. Mari had no intention of becoming important. At the opening royal ball, she quietly picked up her yellow skirts, slipped away from the main characters, and escaped into the garden. A flawless plan. For approximately thirty seconds. Because instead of finding a peaceful garden, Mari walked straight into Emperor Kaizen.The ruthless tyrant. The Crown Prince's older brother. And, according to the original novel- a man who was supposed to die. Then something appeared before her eyes. [SYSTEM ACTIVATED] Target identified: Emperor Kaizen Mission: Raise target interest. Current interest: 0% Reward: Survival. Penalty: Death. Mari stared at the window. Then at the Emperor. Then back at the window. ...No. Absolutely not. Unfortunately, the Grim Reaper System did not appear to accept complaints. And Emperor Kaizen, who should have remained an inconvenient piece of backstory, had begun looking at her far too closely. Now Mari has two things making her new life unnecessarily difficult: 1. A System that keeps threatening to kill her. 2. And an Emperor who keeps ruining all her clever attempts to avoid it. Still, Mari has one advantage neither of them seems to have considered. The System has rules.Rules have loopholes. And Lady Marigold Vale may have been too irrelevant for the original illustrator to give her a face- but Mari is very good at cheating death.

I'm sinking ever further into this cold abyss So deeply I can't see the light I try to climb but the walls are smooth Escape isn't in my sight How has my life come to this When so recently I was content? Why do I deserve this hell? My dues have already been spent. I feel more alone than ever before My future plans stripped away. Tired of words with no real meaning There are always agendas at play ------------- credits to "Jen Fuller" the owner of this poem I do not own the cover of this book. Credits to "NIXEU" the owner of the art. I actually did this for a school project and had the sudden urge to publish this on wattpad soooo here we are right now! I hope you enjoy reading this cringey work of mine, enjoy! ｡^‿^｡

In a world ruled by conquest, Emperor Muyeol of Daeryeong believes every kingdom can be owned-every land, every crown, every life. But when he encounters Yeon, the gentle heir of Yeonhwa, a prince who dreams of peace instead of war, his obsession turns into something far more dangerous than ambition. When Yeon's kingdom falls under invasion, he chooses not surrender-but survival. Guided by his father's hidden legacy and the myths of a cursed mountain, he leads his people into a forgotten sanctuary beyond fire and death. The emperor believes he has won. But some kingdoms are not destroyed. They are reborn. And some people can never be owned.
