The rebels captured my imperial sister and me, but when my husband and imperial brother arrived, they rescued only her.
As I was being abused and left on the brink of death, a little fox saved me.
"Your Highness, the Fox Emperor says that if you sever all your romantic ties in the mortal realm within seven days, you'll be able to restore your exquisite heart and return to the Fox Clan."
After returning to the palace, I lay on a bed of nails and abandoned my husband, severing my marital bond with Pei Xi.
My imperial brother called me a disgrace who brought shame upon the royal family. I cut off my own left arm and severed our bond as siblings.
The Empress Dowager ordered me locked away in the Cold Palace and demanded to know why I hadn't died out there. Through gritted teeth, I tore off my skin and cut away my flesh, severing the bond between mother and daughter.
After doing all of this, I finally returned to the Fox Clan.
They must be glad I'm dead.
But the moment they saw my corpse, they wept and begged me not to leave.
It turned out that my imperial sister was not the Empress Dowager's biological daughter, switched at birth years ago, and she was no reincarnated goddess either.
Without me, they would lose everything they had now.
