I became the mother of the obsessive male protagonist in the novel.

01. Perfect ending.

My name is Park Ji-an. I am the empress of this country and the wife of Kim Seok-jin, the emperor who dabbled in black magic. And soon,

박지안

Destined to die...

Why does it feel like I'm talking about someone else? It's because, of course, I'm talking about someone else's story. This is a novel I read in my past life—or rather, my first life, so perhaps that's only natural.

박지안

Phew...

I sighed deeply and stroked my slightly swollen belly. Then I felt a small, squirming sensation within it. The child, more precious than my own life, moved as if responding to my words.

박지안

Don't worry, baby, no matter what happens, this mother will...

I will protect you.

But I couldn't continue those last words. I'd never brought this child to life before. Perhaps that's understandable. My child doesn't appear in this novel.

박지안

God is so cruel.

I suddenly burst into tears. I held them back, not wanting anyone to see them. But no one could stop a pregnant woman's bursting sobs. Not even me.

박지안

If I don't love myself, who will love me?

Naturally, there was no answer to my tearful question. I wiped my tears and stood up. The only thing I could do now was prove my innocence, not sit and cry.

박지안

There's no way he'd be so stupid as to leave behind evidence related to black magic. It would have been fabricated, and the evidence I used would naturally be flawed. Because it's not true.

I bit my lip and muttered, and before I knew it, I was standing tall in the middle of the room. And on the table was my favorite tea.

박지안

car....?

My heart started pounding like crazy, and I was having trouble breathing. That must have been poisoned tea.

I managed to calm my mind, but my legs gave out and I collapsed into the chair. I brushed aside the thought that my butt would have hurt if I hadn't had the soft cushion, and looked at the note under my teacup.

-Please drink this and wait a moment, Empress. I will take responsibility for all of this.

Seeing the neat handwriting and the note that didn't contain a hint of affection, I knew it all along, but it became even more certain.

박지안

...I guess your husband sent it.

I hesitated for a long time. Normally, I would have drank it without hesitation, but this time, I had a small life I wanted to protect. Still, I felt like drinking it was the only way.

In the worst case scenario, I'm burned at the stake.

박지안

Honey, I'm sorry about this mom... Let's go together... with mom...

I slowly stroked my belly, feeling the tiny movements of the baby, and whispered softly to the child. "I'm losing you again because I'm a bad mother. Please, in the next life... please, let's not meet again."

Since returning to this novel, I've met my death ending five times. At the hands of an assassin. At the hands of rebels. From drinking poisoned tea. From an unfortunate accident. And finally. From being falsely accused and labeled a villainess.

I placed one hand on my stomach and the other, trembling, brought the tea to my lips. But not wanting to feel the fading movement of my baby, I also clutched the teacup with my other hand.

박지안

Honey, I hope you're happy there...

Even though I didn't want the child, I loved him anyway. He deserved to be loved. He was my child, my gift, my everything. Even though I never saw him.

박지안

Ugh

Immediately after, a sharp pain struck my stomach, and I desperately clutched at it. Then, I felt something sticky crawling up my esophagus.

I desperately tried to cover my mouth, but crimson blood had already stained my dress, and a sharp pain continued to pierce my stomach. I clutched my stomach tighter.

Why? For what? Didn't I kill her? Didn't she know this child would end up like this when she drank it? I couldn't understand why she still tried to protect her child. Did she have any maternal instinct left in her?

I let out a snicker, and another gushing stream of blood poured out. I fell hard to the floor, curling up on my stomach.

박지안

'Oh, baby... Um, I'm sorry...'

It hurt so much I couldn't even open my mouth, but I kept thinking to myself, "I'm sorry. Please, let's not meet again. Don't forgive me."

That moment

bang-

There was a tremendous roar, the door opened, and knights entered. They were the First Order, who had once promised to protect me with a kind smile.

I greeted them, my once-glorious silver hair drenched in blood. I needed to get up to run, but my body wouldn't move. It seemed the Knights couldn't have secretly rescued me. My body was a wreck. Ah, just wait.

박지안

Oh, baby...

The pain I felt in my stomach and the feeling of my own little fairy were gone. I looked at my stomach with a blank expression and found a small clot on the blood-soaked floor.

박지안

Baby... Baby...

I reached out with a trembling hand toward the clot. Turning my head in disbelief, I looked at the knights, their expressions cold.

박지안

Uh... huh?

At that moment, I felt something was wrong and immediately reached out to the clot.

기사단

Catch the villainess!

But the Knights were faster. Two of them grabbed both of my arms tightly, while another covered the child with a white towel he'd found somewhere and carried him away. I could only watch with my own eyes as the child left.

박지안

under...

I slowly turned my head, unable to see my small, bloody lump anymore, and looked around. The knights surrounded me with tense expressions. A burst of laughter erupted.

박지안

Haha

Why did they kill this child instead of me? It was truly cruel. I didn't care if this mad laughter engulfed the Empress's Palace, or even if it made the entire empire weep. How many people could avoid going mad in this situation?

박지안

But still, he's my dad...

I was grateful to him for his final act of mercy as a father. Yes, I'm glad my child received the mercy he never showed me.

My face was a mess, drenched in cold sweat from the pain of labor, my hair disheveled, the desk I'd overturned as I fell, my dress stained red with my own blood. Ah, truly, it was the perfect ending for a villainess.

The perfect villainess ending I wish for.

I recommend you skip it quickly.
