"All my people are dead... I just wanted to try my best. I just wanted to be a kind Empress. Why..." Her injuries made her look so worn out… After torturing her for days and killing everyone she ever loved, the Emperor abandoned the Empress in the snowy mountains. In this heavy snowfall, the former Empress Roselyn had resigned herself and was ready to accept death. Her family, her friends, all her hard work for the people of the empire... There was no reason left for her to continue living. So she laid down on this pure white blanket, her body almost frozen, and watched the white snow be dyed in black. At first, the cold was painful, but the pain quickly subsided and so she thought that freezing to death just might not be all that bad. “Being persecuted to death, lying alone as if you're ruling this snowy field...” That man. “If you don't need your life anymore... then pardon me, I’ll take it.” He's the enemy general, Tamon Krasis. “You’re mine now, Empress.” She was abandoned by them, but he stole her and took her away.

Reading manhwa Fire in the Swamp / Api di Rawa / Fire Burns Through Me / Savina, la fille maudite / แผดเผาห้วงคำสาป The most powerful families of the court owe their influence to three things: property, titles, and magic. House Konbayazen, lacking a sorcerer, became a laughingstock among fellow aristocrats; that is until the head of their House took his daughter Sabina and invited the curse of death upon her – turning her into “death incarnate.” This curse causes any who utter Sabina’s name to catch a fatal illness and contact with her flesh causes one’s own to rot away. This new power allows her father to monger fear, killing anyone who dares stand in his way. After countless years of abuse at the hands of her father, Sabina is allowed to convalesce in the countryside to regain her strength. He sends her to an empty, abandoned village with the imperial knight Erzan Muskovayev to be her bodyguard…but there is something different about Erzan. Normally repulsed by the heat of another person’s body, Sabina immediately finds an abnormal comfort in his presence. What’s more, Erzan seems immune to any curse that he encounters. As the two spend time together in the seemingly haunted village, they find themselves inexplicably drawn to each other, in a way neither knew was possible… 沼の中の炎〜呪われお嬢様を照らす騎士〜 沼澤之火 늪 속의 불

"Brother, there's something I wanted to tell you… Lately, when I wake up, my body feels different." Estella Ignacio is the youngest daughter of Count Ignacio’s noble household. She lost her mother at a young age, and later, both her father and older brothers died in battle, leaving her completely orphaned. Taken in by Duke Montserrat—her father's longtime friend—Estella was raised under his care. The duke had one son, Matias, with whom Estella formed a close bond, like that of real siblings. Over time, Estella began confiding in Matias, telling him that she often woke up feeling a strange heaviness in her body, and an odd discomfort between her legs. Unbeknownst to her, something far more disturbing was taking place. Behind his gentle and affectionate demeanor, Matias hid dark, unspoken desires. In truth, he was abusing her while she slept. "Brother… you're here, aren’t you?" Estella would sometimes murmur in her sleep, her voice trembling— as though, from within her dreams, she was reaching out to him. And Matias, quietly watching over her, would lean down and whisper with a tenderness far heavier than the words themselves: "I'm always here for you, Estella."
