Summary of the The Abandoned Empress
You know... sometimes your whole life feels like it was planned out by someone else. That’s what happened with Aristia La Monique. From the day she was born, her destiny was clear: stand beside the Emperor, rule at his side. They groomed her from childhood for that exact path, polishing up every little detail, preparing her for everything.
But life doesn't always follow the script you're given. Suddenly, a strange girl popped into the palace one day, just like that. And this newcomer... she laid claim to Aristia's future title with an air of certainty it was never meant to belong to. It felt like fate messing things up right before their eyes.
Being demoted from Empress Consort down to just another concubine hit hard. Aristia watched helplessly as all the power and promise, the thing she thought was hers for life... well, you slip on something when it's not supposed to be under your feet. Everything felt like it was slipping away now.
Yet even then, stripped of her crown, her carefully laid plans replaced by palace intrigue, one fire burned within her – a desperate, burning need for the Emperor’s notice, his favor, maybe just a flicker of recognition that wasn't about ruling anymore. She still yearned for him, you see?
