The Crowned Cat and The Fallen Prince

That night, long ago, as the rain soaked the ground, he should have turned away instead of foolishly waiting for her! Oh, why did he have to stubbornly wait for her? Their life was now drenched in the colours of both love and blood. That ill-fated night, he kissed her, whereas she thrust the dagger into his chest, clenching tightly the icy white jade hilt and pushing. As Shufeng watch his blood spilling, he was still more bewildered than angered. How could he possibly bear it: killed by the woman he loved? Untold confusion and fear filled his eyes when he simply asked: “Why?" She wanted Shufeng’s brother as the future emperor, and revenge for the death of her family. Crestfallen and heartbroken upon finding out she had been deceived, Emika is willing to sacrifice everything–even at the risk of loosing her human form forever–to find him, be with him and seek forgiveness. A tale packed with sword fights, lies and betrayal, lost love and redemption, court intrigue, crossing world, stolen memories and; a story of a prince fighting back to claim the throne, and a woman changing into a cat.

The Day Emperor Akishino Died - Part 52: With motives but not guilty

Empress Yū Miko rested her elbow on the arm of the divan, and eyes fixed on Pyun, saying: "It didn't take much to connect all the dots about your recent behaviour and to work it out. It was clear to me who would gain from the Emperor's death and the General's indictment for treason."

In that split second where breathing was suspended, a premonition bumped headlong into his mind: The viper is going to frame me for the Emperor's murder along with the General! His spine jerked him upright and he gave her a harsh look.

"Truly, I admire your Machiavellian mind." Yū Miko acted out a round of applause but a chilling grimace lingered on her face. "However, I doubt it is the produce of your mind only. You do not have this high level of backbone, forethought and designing; so it must also be other's intentions to plot the assassination of the Emperor; and to also frame Great General Hishoku, whom I believe, has become a menace to you and to a number of corrupted officials.
