Shen Qingci, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, was selected into the Eastern Palace in her previous life because of her beautiful face. However, on her wedding day, she was publicly humiliated by the prince and demoted to a concubine. She endured the humiliation for three years and helped the crown prince ascend the throne, but in exchange she had her entire family executed and her eldest child was killed by being fed drugs.
Before she died, she realized that the true love in the prince's heart was actually her concubine Shen Qingwan. And she is just a disposable chess piece.
When he opened his eyes again, Shen Qingci returned to the night before the concubine selection.
In this life, she will no longer be a lamb to be slaughtered. She avoided the temptation to choose a concubine and instead married Zhou Yan, the sick prince who was despised by everyone.
Everyone laughed at her for being crazy for marrying a short-lived guy who wouldn't live more than two years.
But no one knew that this idle prince, who was despised by the emperor and ridiculed by the civil and military officials of the dynasty, would ascend the throne as emperor three years later in his previous life, bloodbath the capital, and kill all those who had trampled on him.
Shen Qingci held the medicine bowl and looked at the man coughing up blood on the bed. The corners of his lips curled up slightly: "Your Majesty, it's time to drink the medicine."
Zhou Yan raised his eyes, and there was something strange in those bottomless black eyes.
Later, a saying spread throughout the capital: It is better to provoke the King of Hell than the King of Disease and his wife.
And when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was heartbroken with regret, he looked at the woman who once knelt at his feet, now standing tall and clinging to the side of the Ninth Five-Year Master, smiling wildly.
He finally understood what he had missed.
