Xi Yan is the concubine of the Shangshu Mansion. She was despised by her aunt and sister since she was a child. My sister-in-law had her own heart and didn't want to marry the cold-faced prince, so her mother-in-law forced her to marry him instead. On the day of her wedding, the prince did not show up and only sent his guards to pick her up. She lost all face amidst everyone's snickers.
When the prince came back late at night, not only did he show no sympathy, but he insulted her with cold words and said that he only loved her sister. During the dispute, the prince Xiao Qingyan unexpectedly visited, and Mu Yanxi took the opportunity to use the prince's power to break away from this humiliating marriage.
No one knew that the two of them had a long history - Xi Yan fell into the water when she was young, and the person who saved her was the young Xiao Qingyan. She was ignorant and had long forgotten about her, but the prince remembered her in his heart and had a secret affection for her. After learning that she was marrying as a substitute, Xiao Qingyan was worried that she would suffer, so he came from the palace just in time to save her from danger.
After leaving the palace, the prince placed her in the East Palace. Xi Yan knew that it was difficult to survive without any support, and he was grateful for the prince's favor, so he decided to seize this support. From then on, she lost her cowardice and became involved in the disputes in the court and harem. With her wisdom and resilience, she worked step by step to escape the fate of being a concubine and move forward steadily amidst the turmoil.
