Louise had always dedicated herself to serving the emperor, but after years of hard work and sacrifice, she comes to a stark realization: her efforts only lead to an early grave at the hands of an incompetent ruler.
Fed up with her role as empress, Louise decides it’s time to reclaim her life. She aims to quit her royal duties, get a job within the palace, and enjoy the stability of a steady paycheck.
Plot of the Manhwa
Just as Louise plans to celebrate her newfound freedom, the unexpected happens—her husband, the emperor, is suddenly ousted from the throne and replaced by his long-lost brother, Regan. This twist of fate turns Louise’s plans upside down. Instead of the divorce she was eagerly anticipating, Regan announces that he intends to keep her as his empress, much to her dismay.
Determined to maintain her independence, Louise confronts Regan, insisting she would rather be his subordinate than his wife. However, Regan is a shrewd and ambitious man, and he has other plans in mind. He declares that she must embrace both roles: as his empress and his subordinate. Caught in a web of royal politics and power struggles, Louise must navigate her complicated new reality while trying to maintain her autonomy.
The story unfolds as Louise grapples with her conflicting feelings about her new position. Regan, initially presented as the villain, gradually reveals more dimensions to his character, making Louise question her initial judgments. As the narrative progresses, themes of empowerment, ambition, and resilience emerge, showcasing Louise’s journey toward self-discovery and assertiveness.
