I am the meanest maid in the Hou Mansion. Just because I look a little like the eldest lady, I was given dumb drugs and married on her behalf to the sickly and bloodthirsty Crown Prince who was rumored to be cruel and bloodthirsty and about to die in battle.
On the night of the wedding, the prince vomited blood and his life hung on a thread. The whole city was waiting to see me, the "scapegoat", be buried as a widow.
Unexpectedly, before he died, the prince grabbed my hand and gave me a dragon-patterned jade pendant. He was so angry that he said, "Go... Find my uncle..."
I clutched the jade pendant and took advantage of the night to escape over the wall, but I ran into a cold and hard embrace.
The man was wearing a black cloak, and his majesty made me breathless. He pinched my chin and said with deep eyes, "Are you the new princess given to me by my brother?"
I looked up and saw that it was the powerful and decisive regent!
Looking at the servant of the Hou Mansion chasing after me, I grabbed his sleeve tightly and risked my life:
"My lord, your nephew is gone, so you won't lose on this deal. Take me back, and I will help you uproot the Hou Mansion!"
