"The fates will curse you to a life of hell."

She stared those loathsome eyes. Her very being screamed from inside. Her hate knew no bounds. And yet...and yet...why was he looking at her like that? Why did he not hate her? Why was there sadness in his eyes? Why?

"I'd rather take a million years in hell!" she spat out. "Yes...I did it. I killed your most precious person."

She flashed a manic smile. "You'll suffer for the rest of your life...Emperor. And nothing makes me happier..."

Her mad laughter echoed throughout the palace, etching a bone chilling fear into the hearts of everyone who was present that day.

The evil Empress had fallen.

.....

Wang Shina was shunned and exiled from her palace by her husband, Emperor Kang, and his concubine for an unforgivable crime. Evil, manipulative and cunning, Wang Shina only knows one thing: hatred. And she wasted no time in admitting her guilt.

After committing the horrendous crime to oust her husband from power, she was cursed by the kingdom's most powerful shaman: she will have to live as an old woman by the day and will change back to her real appearance during the night. And she will keep on living this cursed life for years until she finishes the task of changing the fates of 500 couples over the years.

Now, almost centuries later, Wang Shina goes by the name Cherry and is out to complete her mission after which, she can die in peace. Finally on her last mission, Wang Shina receives the last couple's names whose fates she will rewrite.

Enter Shin Jinhyun, a popular idol and the country's Idol King who is fated to be with Sung Yoona as per Wang Shina's task. But fate plays a cruel joke as Jinhyun and Yoona turn out to be the reincarnations of Cherry's ex-husband and his mistress. 

And furthermore, Jinhyun's heart has room for only one girl: the lady in red, Wang Shina.

Star Crossed: The Idol King & Empress of Evil

Sojin was shocked to her very core. She staggered backwards and almost fell but Jinyoung caught her. The man she wanted to keep Jinhyun away from was standing right beside him, embracing him like an old friend. Her hands were trembling in fear while her heart beat fast at the sight of the man who had robbed her of everything.

"Why is that man there?" She demanded. "Why...why is he hugging my son?"

"Son?" Jinyoung echoed. Sojin suddenly realized her folly. She had slipped up and scrambled to rectify her mistake.

"I meant, he's like a son to me," she lied. "He's the Idol King. All mothers would like a son like him."

Jinyoung stared at her for a moment and sighed. "Ms. Lim," he began. "Listen to me very carefully. Heo Taehyun is looking for you. He's obsessed with finding you and your son."
