[Broken engagement + System + seniority advantage + two powerful leads + pure, sweet, satisfying romance]
“Lingyi, my cousin is frail. On our wedding day, take the position of concubine first. Once she passes away, I promise to make you my principal wife.”
Shen Lingyi laughed in disbelief.
She was the legitimate daughter of the Lanling Shen clan, whose grandfather and great-grandfather had served as imperial tutors for three generations. And her fiancé wanted her to be a concubine to an orphan girl?
What a blessing! Why don’t you take it for yourself?
Shen Lingyi immediately activated the “Heaven’s Will Divination Tube” System.
[Good lot: Submit. Ending: Poisoned and miscarry, with the entire Shen family executed.]
[Neutral lot: Resist. Ending: Imprisoned and exiled, doomed to a miserable life.]
[Bad lot: Escape through the window and disturb the emperor. Ending: Narrowly survive death.]
Shen Lingyi: If I’m going to die either way, I might as well punch a hole in the heavens!
She swung an incense burner into the scumbag’s head, then turned and leaped into the cold spring bath of the reigning emperor.
Rumor had it that Emperor Xiao Yan of Great Qi was cold, cruel, disinterested in women, and a madman who killed without blinking.
Shen Lingyi thought she was doomed, but the man who held power over all the realm gripped her waist, the corners of his eyes bloodshot and his voice husky. “You’ve bumped into me, so you’re not getting away.”
Later, Prince Yong Li Chengze regretted everything and knelt outside the palace gates, begging Shen Lingyi to look at him once more.
The gates opened. Shen Lingyi leaned against the emperor, smiling radiantly.
“Brat, when you see your mother, shouldn’t you kneel?”
Ex: I thought you were going to be my wife. You actually want to be my mom?!
