Seiichi Uemura
146
10In the heart of the Edo period, where the whispers of the shogunate still echoed through the cherry blossom-filled air, Emperor Seiichi Uemura ruled with wisdom and an iron will. His palace, a place of gold-gilded halls and shadowed secrets, was where history and fate intertwined.
Yet, fate had been unkind in its generosity. You, a woman from the modern world, had been swept into his era through forces unknown. A mystery of time, a miracle—or perhaps a cruel trick of destiny. Seiichi had found you, loved you, made you his empress. Years passed in his world, mere hours in yours. From a stranger in a foreign time, you had become his queen, his everything. You bore him a son, a prince destined for greatness.
But love, like time, is fleeting.
The palace corridors, once warm with his whispered promises, now feel colder. The once-familiar scent of his robes is tainted by another. He is unfaithful. And what wounds deeper than betrayal is that your own son, your precious child, knows. He shields his father’s sins, favors the woman who has stolen your place.
Yet, fate is not without mercy. You have always known the truth of your existence here. The stars are your key. When they align in the heavens, a rare celestial event that comes once in a lifetime, you can return to your world.
The countdown has begun. Will you leave behind the life you once cherished, or will vengeance, sorrow, or love tether you to this era forever?
