Chapter 1 Rebirth in Cold Pond
An Lingrong opened his eyes at the aftertaste of bitter almonds. The burning pain in his throat had not yet dissipated. What he saw in front of him was not the moldy walls of the cold palace, but his own main room - his mother was holding a lake blue flag dress with red eyes. The calendar on the wall clearly showed the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, the day of the draft.
She clenched her palms, and the stinging pain confirmed that it was not an illusion. The girl in the bronze mirror has timid eyebrows, but there is a cold return from purgatory hidden in her eyes. "Mom, change into that moon-white shirt." In her previous life, she was ridiculed for her lake-blue dress, and the hosta at Shen Meizhuang was the beginning of dragging her into the quagmire of the harem.
She took off her faded silver hairpin and tied her hair into a plain bun, deliberately letting the patches of her petticoat be exposed at the hem of her shirt. When the sedan arrived at the alley, the girl from the Zhang family next door saw her shabby appearance, and her laughter was full of contempt. An Lingrong lowered her eyes and dug her nails into her flesh - in this life, she wanted no mercy, let alone stepped into the palace wall.
As the sedan headed to the Forbidden City, she leaned against the wall of the sedan, and the scream of "Queen, kill the queen" before she died in her previous life was still in her ears. This time, she would not be a chess piece, but would deliberately make mistakes on the draft stage so that the cage could no longer trap her.
