An embarrassing old draft, written for practice
Xue Lingyan was the youngest disciple of the divine physician on Qingchen Mountain. With three senior martial brothers above her, she volunteered to leave the mountain and search for the truth about her origins.
But who could have guessed… The dog emperor chanced upon her beauty and forcibly took her as a concubine. Before she could learn the truth of her birth, she was murdered in the palace…
“Are you really unwilling to come with me? Or do you just want to be Lady Xue?” It was his voice, too…
“Huai Zhao, he says he knows where I come from.” Surely she was the only person in the empire today who dared address the Crown Prince by name.
That year, she died a gruesome death in the palace. Snow blanketed the sky, and blood covered the ground…
Reborn, she had no intention of entering the palace. Compared with the scumbag emperor, acting on a whim, his son, who seemed like an innocent romantic fool, was a far better choice. Once she uncovered the truth about her birth, she would kill the Noble Consort with her own hands.
…
“Are you really unwilling to come with me?”
The calculating look in her eyes softened. Instead of becoming the dog emperor’s concubine, wouldn’t it be better to shape his son into the kind of man she liked?
“Your Highness, Ah Xue is willing.”
But she never expected that he knew all along what she was scheming, and that he was willing to go along with it.
When her family held her captive and she wanted to get away, she deliberately got hurt to make him worry.
“Don’t do that again. Even if you hadn’t been hurt, I would have dealt with them. No one can hurt you, confine you, or restrict you in my presence.”
When a rival came to provoke her:
“Big Sister, all I did was say that I admire His Highness the Crown Prince. Why are you treating me like this?”
Jing Heng was secretly delighted. She didn’t like other women liking him? Did she like him herself?
Tune in for the Crown Prince’s self-conquest…
