About this title

Synopsis

From the moment of her birth, Aristia La Monique was told she would become the empress. She trained every day, all so that one day, she would stand as an equal beside Crown Prince Ruvellis Kamaludin Shana Castina. But her efforts were in vain; hated by Ruvellis, she is cast aside in favor of the otherworldly girl Jieun. Now a mere queen in charge of governmental affairs, her happiness, pride, and family are stolen from her. In the end, she is executed by the very man who held her heart. However, what awaits her is not the afterlife, but the world of seven years ago. Armed with the knowledge of future events, the forsaken former queen sets out to change her fate and hopefully reclaim the life she never had. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

    Aristia Pioneer la Monique ( 아리스 티아 라 모니크 ) She is the main protagonist of the Korean manhwa series The Abandoned Empress. Everyone believed that Aristia was the prophesied child who would become the prince's partner since she was born soon after the prophesy in House Monique - a House which had sworn loyalty to the royal family. Hence, she was trained to become the Empress from the day she learned to walk, but was never acknowledged by anyone and was unloved. She became the Empress at the age of 17, but she was hated by the nobles and had no one to support her. Soon, a girl named Jieun appeared from another world in the palace's lake, and everyone in the Church declared that Jieun is the girl mentioned in the prophesy and Aristia was mistaken to be the future Empress due to it's misinterpretation. Therefore, she was given the title of lower Queen whereas Jieun became the Empress. Even then, she loved Ruvellis so much even though her love was unrequited from the beginning. When she conceived a child before Jieun, Ruvellis firmly said that she meant nothing to him and will never choose a heir from her children no matter how intelligent or powerful they become. Aristia was deeply saddened to hear this since she hoped that he would finally love her if she bore him children. She then gets dizzy and slips the moment she hears this. But he catches her, and before she could stand on her own Jieun enters the room and is shocked to see Ruvellis holding her with his arms. He immediately lets go of Aristia and runs behind Jieun to clear the misunderstanding after she runs away from the room in anger, but Aristia falls and starts bleeding heavily after he accidentally dashes against her while running. Thus, Aristia loses her child, and the doctor comes clean after a bit of hesitation that it is not possible for her to conceive another child since she has a weak body since childhood. This led to Aristia falling in deep despair and losing all of her hopes. After that, she suffers from insomnia for many days. Then on the night she hears the news that the Empress is with child, her father comes to her for the first time after leaving her in the palace when she was 16 years old saying that he would take her home after settling some matters in the border. But 4 days later, Jieun was ambushed by masked men while she took a walk in the palace garden, and lost her child in the process. The next morning she heard the news that her father was arrested for treason for being the mastermind behind that attack, and she pleaded with the Emperor to release her father. But her pleas fell on deaf ears, and he ridiculed her by making her kneel before him with her head on the floor and made her lick his shoe on the promise that he would release her father. But after she does so, he taunts her saying that she was too naive since he wouldn't let anyone live who has tried to kill the Empress and killed his child ,and that her father was already executed in the morning. Aristia is enraged after hearing this and immediately stabs him saying that he killed both her child and her father. Thus, she was executed for treason and for trying to harm a royal. Before her head is chopped by the axe, she vows that she would never love him if she has a second life. After the execution, she goes 7 years back in time and becomes her 10-year-old self. She is shocked as well as deeply disturbed due to her horrible past. She then goes to the temple of Vita to know what was really happening and to find some sort of proof for the prophesy being misinterpreted, and suddenly hears the voice of God Vita . Then Vita explains everything to her saying that it is not a dream and both her lives were reality. He gave her a second life because of her horrible and miserable past, and says that the thin thread of her fate somehow got tangled with that of Ruvellis whereas the prophesied child Jieun was accidentally born in another world. Hence, Aristia was made as the temporary fill-in till Jieun came back. This enraged Aristia and she expresses her pain and misery she had to undergo because of this, and rejects Vita. Vita says that it is fine by him, and granted her the power to carve her own fate. Thus, he gave her the name 'Pioneer'. In her previous life, she was taught to control and suppress her emotions since she was the future empress, and hence she always had a calm and cold composure. She suppressed her pain, anger and desperation within her, and didn't show any signs of sorrow even at the death of her unborn baby. Because her pain of unrequited love for Ruvellis surpassed that of the baby's death. Moreover, since Marquess Keirean didn't visit her even at that time, the members of House Monique were considered to be people with ice flowing in their veins instead of blood. She felt pathetic and pitied herself. But in her second life, she is a kind and gentle person, and is intelligent at the same time. She cherishes the happiness which she receives from her father and true friends. But she is scared of Ruvellis because of her past, and tries not to get attention from him and the Emperor.
