She, Tong Yingrou, was the weakest and most useless concubine in the Leng household. Even though she loved that man deeply, she never dared to fight for him or show her anger. She always hid quietly in a corner, watching him. After the other concubines pushed her into a lotus pond and drowned her, she opened her eyes again with not a trace of weakness left. If you leave me alone, I’ll leave you alone. If you cross me, I’ll repay you a hundredfold! Want to play? Go ahead. Anyone who isn’t afraid to die can come at me!
Tong Yingrou defeated all the concubines in the Leng household, yet without realizing it, she lost her heart to that cold-blooded man. After the fighting, she thought at last that better days were ahead. Instead, she was dealt the blow of learning that he was betrothed to a princess. You had no heart to fight or compete anymore, and you watched without mercy as I lost the child in my womb. Then, before I had even recovered from my grief, you handed me over to another man? From now on, I will hate you, not love you. When we meet again, I will repay you a hundredfold for the pain you caused me!
When they met again, she was leading a little girl by the hand, a doll-like child who was the spitting image of a young Tong Yingrou. He smiled and went to greet them without thinking, forgetting that she had long since become a highborn princess consort, while he could only kneel and look up at her.
