In my past life, I was blind! I believed Prince Xiao Jingyuan had saved me, and I used the full power of the Chancellor’s household to help him seize the throne. In return, my parents were sentenced to death, my entire family was executed, and he even killed me with his own hands!
Reborn just before the prince’s scheme was set in motion, all I could think about was revenge!
I set my sights on Prince Jing, Xiao Jingyan, the most ruthless and powerful man in the inner palace. His mother had been killed by the prince’s birth mother, and he and the Eastern Palace were sworn enemies. He was the perfect pawn for my revenge!
I went to great lengths to win his favor and get close to him, offering plans to seize power and helping him avoid danger. I plotted every step carefully, all so I could secure this powerful ally, crush the Eastern Palace with his influence, and kill the scumbag with my own hands!
What I didn’t know was that a piece of osmanthus cake I’d casually given him as a child had already won him over.
This obsessive prince had fallen deeply in love with me. He spoiled me without restraint, his possessiveness off the charts, and held me in his arms as he growled, “Wanhe, stop pretending. You’ve always been mine!”
I was stunned. I only wanted to use him to get revenge!
Later, he crushed the Eastern Palace and ascended the throne. With the imperial harem empty and all his affection devoted to me, I finally realized that the pawn I’d worked so hard to approach had long since made me the obsession of his life!
