I Was Supposed To Die, Not Marry Him~
Authors note~
Author
Hey my sunshine🌻...how are you all?
Author
I hope you all are doing good and taking care of yourselves, and smiling at least a little today!!
Author
So here i am with a new story,
I don’t even know where to begin with it.
Author
It’s not a story I planned in detail, not something I carefully structured from the start...but still here i am with my half and raw imagination...
Author
“What if death wasn’t the end?”
And more importantly…
“What if the life you wake up in isn’t the one meant for you?”
Author
This story starts with an ending..more like a dramatic ending..
But instead of peace, instead of silence… she gets pulled back into something unknown.
Author
A different life.
A different world.
And a man she was never supposed to meet… yet somehow ends up bound to
Author
Trying to breathe in a place that doesn’t feel like home.
Trying to exist beside someone who feels like both a stranger… and something more
Author
And maybe, somewhere along the way,
you’ll start to see how two lives that were never meant to cross… slowly begin to intertwine
Author
I don’t know where this journey will take us completely…
but I do know one thing…
I want to experience it with you
Author
Also, I want to share something a little personal…
Author
I’ve read so many beautiful stories here, and one thing I’ve always loved is how authors have readers who feel like family...the way they laugh together, cry together, grow together,it’s something really special...
Author
And honestly… I find myself craving that too🤍
Author
Not just readers, but people who stay, who feel the story, who become a part of this journey with me...🪻
Author
So if you’re here, reading this… thank you...truly.
Maybe this can become our little space...
our story, our emotions, our journey together...
Author
Stay with me, okay? ✨
Let’s see how fate slowly, quietly brings them together....
Author
With love,
your cute lil author 🌙

✧ Crown Prince Kael Draven (ML) — Age: 26
“The Blood-Crowned Heir”
Cold, controlled, highly disciplined

“If it threatens the crown, it dies.”
✧ Duke Alistair Vale (Father) — Age: 45
“The Man Who Chooses Duty Over Emotion”

Loyal and protective in her own way
“My lady… please don’t scare me”
✧ Empress Seraphine Draven — Age: 45
“The Beautiful Poison”
Reserved, authoritative, distant
Rarely interferes directly
Observes more than he acts
“Power belongs to those who take it quietly.”
✧ Emperor Valerius Draven — Age: 50
“The Silent Throne”
Reserved, authoritative, distant
Rarely interferes directly
Observes more than he acts

“The Sword That Never Hesitates”
Loyal to the point of extremity
Blunt, action-driven, doesn’t overthink
Follows orders without question

“Give the order. I’ll finish it.”
✧ Ciel Morvain (Shadow Agent) — Age: 25
“The Eyes in the Dark”

Reads people through patterns, not words
Detached, rarely shows real emotion
Speaks lightly but thinks deeply
Trusts almost no one—except the Crown Prince
“People lie. Patterns don’t.”
