It Took Me Ten Years to Mix a Poisoned Wine for My Enemy

"The day Father sent me into exile, he cursed me as a calamity that would ruin the nation. Ten years later, I became a poison courtesan at the Moon-Gathering Pavilion, medicine hidden beneath my nails and a blade buried in my rouge box. When Crown Prince Xiao Chengqian licked my fingertips and begged for pleasure, I made him drink poisoned wine. As he died, he sneered, 'Fool! Father sent you into exile to protect you with his own life!' The hidden guard Lian Zechuan knelt and presented the blood edict, every word carving into my heart. I personally helped him ascend the throne, but he begged me to fill a cup with poison: 'Princess, I can only accompany you this far.' I was exiled for ten years, and he protected me for ten years. In the end, he begged me to poison him. The bronze mask fell to the ground and shattered. The new emperor was dead. The day I donned the imperial robes, beneath the jade steps... that shadow was gone forever."
