Title: Eternal Vow: The Reborn Empress and Her Cursed Knight

In her past life, Empress Seraphina was betrayed by those closest to her. Framed for treason, she was executed by the man she once loved—the ruthless Emperor Kael. However, as her soul fades into darkness, a mysterious deity offers her a second chance.

Reincarnated centuries later as a noblewoman with a hidden past, Seraphina discovers that Kael has also been reborn, but under a terrible curse—one that binds him to her fate. As she navigates palace intrigues, forbidden magic, and the echoes of their past, she must decide: will she seek revenge, or will love rewrite their tragic destiny?

ETERNAL VOW: THE REBORN EMPRESS AND HER CURSED NIGHT

Blood stained the marble floor of the imperial palace. Empress Seraphina knelt before the golden throne, her once-pristine gown tattered, her silver hair matted with sweat. The cold steel of a sword pressed against her throat, wielded by the man she once trusted above all—Emperor Kael.

"Seraphina Aurelian," his voice was void of emotion. "You are found guilty of high treason. Your punishment—execution at dawn."

She searched his violet eyes, hoping to find a trace of the love they once shared, but there was nothing. Only icy finality.

She had been betrayed. By her court, by her advisors, and worst of all—by him.

A bitter smile curled her lips. "I see. So this is how it ends."

The blade flashed. Pain seared through her neck. And then, there was only darkness.

Until a voice, deep and ancient, echoed through the void.

"Seraphina Aurelian... Do you seek revenge? Or redemption?"
