"This marriage has no purpose beyond political strategy. — It's a waste of time."

The cruel and ruthless Emperor, executed as an enemy of the world, was dead. The 'Saintess' who had loved him despite everything also perished, only to be reborn a thousand years later as Princess Sheila, regaining her memories of her past life.

The 'Wicked Emperor' Sheila loved had chosen death to save the world. Now reborn in this life as Clive, he was once again preparing to become a sacrifice for the world's sake... To save Clive this time, Sheila even went as far as arranging a political marriage.

However, Clive strongly rejected Sheila, who had now become his wife...!?

"I don't mind being the hated Empress!"

Undaunted by Clive's coldness, Sheila persisted with unwavering affection, searching for a path to ensure his survival. But what she didn't realize was...

"...You have no idea that I've been in love with you all along..."

It turns out Clive also possessed memories of their past life, and it seemed he had been head over heels for Sheila since then!? Thus begins a high-stakes romance and battle of wits between Clive, who hides his feelings due to the burdens of their past, and Sheila, who presses forward relentlessly, unaware of his true heart—a struggle upon which the fate of the world rests!
