I’m in Trouble Because The Emperor Thinks My Time is Limited

Lindel Bodebachne, the youngest deputy captain of the Imperial Guard, is perfect in every way—except for her unrequited love. One small wish went wrong, and she started coughing up blood. It was just a side effect of the contract, but the problem began when others witnessed her coughing up blood. She tries to manage the situation, but things only become more serious. Now, she’s seen as a devoted lover, willing to risk death to protect the emperor with her life. “How long have you endured this on your own until it reached this point?” “Don’t tell me you’re fine. You’ve never been fine.” “Just cry! Shout that you don’t want to die and beg to be saved!” “…Don’t die. Please.” No, I’m telling you, I’m not going to die!
