"My younger brother and I accidentally saved the emperor while he was traveling incognito.
To repay us, he decided to choose one of us to marry the Ninth Princess.
Rumor had it that the princess was ugly. She remained unmarried for so long that she had become an old maid.
My younger brother begged me to become her husband, then took ten thousand taels of gold for himself.
Later, a courtesan from the pleasure quarter swindled him out of his money, and he contracted a venereal disease.
When he saw how beautiful the Ninth Princess was, he grew jealous of my life of luxury and slashed my throat.
When we opened our eyes again, we had both been reborn on the day we saved the emperor.
This time, my younger brother was eager to marry the princess.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Whoever wants to be the sucker who takes her on can do it."
