I, Shen Qingci, am the concubine of the Shangshu Mansion. My biological mother died young and I live cautiously in the mansion.
On the day when I got my haircut, I was filled with joy as I waited for my fiancé, Xiao Jingchuan, the eldest son of the Zhennan Hou Mansion, to come and hire me. Unexpectedly, he actually brought Liu Ruyan, the courtesan of the brothel, to watch the ceremony, and even asked me to serve tea to the woman in public, saying that he wanted to "get to know each other in advance."
I couldn't bear it anymore and slapped him.
The entire capital was shocked - a mere concubine from the Shangshu Mansion dared to hit the prince of the Hou Mansion?
I turned around and ran out of the house, but ran into the arms of a man.
He is the current regent - Murong Chen. The man who was said to be decisive and ruthless in killing was now protecting me behind him and coldly said to Xiao Jingchuan who was chasing me: "Who do you think you are, worthy of having her serve tea to your people?"
The reversal has come.
It turns out that I am not the daughter of Shangshufu at all. I am the orphan of the late emperor, the real princess who was rescued from the palace incident fifteen years ago. Murong Chen has been looking for me for fifteen years.
And the reason why Xiao Jingchuan dared to humiliate me like this was because there was a shocking court conspiracy - some people didn't want me to marry into the marquis' mansion, let alone return to the royal family alive.
From the bullied concubine to the eldest princess who is inferior to one person and above ten thousand people; from the shame of having her engagement broken off, to the most noble woman in the entire capital.
This slap opened up a new world.
