Reborn, I Coldly Watched the Crown Princess Enter a Bandit Den

When I saw several bandits in the mountains dragging a frail woman toward a cave again, I didn't rush to save her with my brother as I had in my previous life. I held him back with all my strength.

In my previous life, my brother and I risked our lives to save her, only to end up with our family destroyed and every last one of us dead.

"Only the dead can keep a secret. I'm going to be the crown princess one day. You saw me in such a wretched state, so you have to die!"

In a single night, my parents fell into pools of blood. My brother hid me in a cabinet, and the blood from his neck sprayed through the cracks and drenched my face. I watched helplessly as my last living relative breathed his last.

I couldn't escape either. I managed to run through several villages, but they still caught me. Shen Yunzhi didn't kill me, though. She threw me into a brothel instead.

"That way, I suppose I've repaid you siblings for saving me."

She spared my life from her lofty perch, cruelty plain in her eyes.
