When he was ten years old, Cui Qingning's life was split in the middle.
The one in front is the most dazzling noblewoman in the capital. Before her father and brother left for the war, her brother held her on his lap and told her to hunt her the best fox fur in the north of Saibei. It was a snow-white one that would match her red cloak just right.
At the back, there are "no bones left", the horse leather cannot wrap the corpse, and the general never returns after a hundred battles.
Her mother suffered a hemorrhage during childbirth and went crazy when she woke up. She hugged her brother and watched her mother lying on the bed screaming and crying. Like her brother, she became a "child" who needed her care.
Then the second uncle came, walked into the door of her house as naturally as walking into his own home, occupied the main hall, emptied her yard, and locked her, her crazy mother, and her infant brother into the small courtyard at the deepest part of the house.
They said they would take care of their orphans and widows.
Seven years.

When she was seventeen years old, her cousin cried so hard that she could not enter the palace because of the sores on her body.
The second aunt's eyes were red, and her gaze fell on her.
"The Cui family needs a daughter to enter the palace, let her go."
Cui Qingning lowered her head, listened to the arrangement, and agreed.
No one saw the corners of her mouth curl up at the moment she lowered her head.
Seven years.

Later, everyone watched her ascending to a higher position. Her uncle and aunt were panicked, and there was an endless stream of flattery. She sat on the phoenix throne, playing with the jade in her hand, and her smile was just like their gentle expressions back then.
She said: "Relax, I will naturally let you live."
Life is worse than death.
