The End of Unrequited Love

After dragging around an unrequited love for eight years, I finally put an end to it. Not only was I never given the time of day, but I was also deeply hurt by the thoughtless words people hurled at me behind my back. Even so, I kept believing that one day he would turn to look at me… until I finally realized it. This wasn’t love—it was obsession… So I made up my mind: I would forget the Crown Prince and, without getting hurt any further, search for my own happiness. “This is the end. From now on, I’ll live for myself.” That’s what I thought, but then— “What is my fiancée doing here?” He appeared as the Emperor and stopped me, as if nothing had happened. The past I thought I’d left behind hadn’t ended, and my unrequited love shook my heart once again. Why now…? What on earth is he trying to do? A woman determined to end her love, and a man who refuses to believe it’s over. I ask the wounds left behind by eight years of unrequited love: This time… will I be able to truly put an end to it?
