Features: At dawn, Napoleon completely stopped breathing. It was all over. A gunshot replaced the funeral bells, proclaiming the death of this French sinner. This gunshot also rang for the greatest warlord of that era. This warlord once controlled the entire Europe with his rifle. A few days later, this once-dominant emperor was buried, and his tombstone bore no name, only "ci-git" ("Here lies").
One was a beauty from the French Caribbean island of Martinique; the other was a noble-born soldier from the impoverished island of Corsica. Under normal circumstances, these two people could never have been married. But somehow, these men and women with different French accents became the Emperor and Empress of France and one of the most captivating couples in the world between 1804 and 1810. They both saw each other as unsafe and unreliable. They both adored power, so their love was always self-serving, and in the end, their marriage came to an end.
