[Transmigrate Into a Book + Regrets Losing His Wife + The Person on the Other Side of the Wall + Cold Palace Prince + Grand Bridal Procession]
On the first day after I transmigrated into the book, the crown prince grabbed me by the throat.
In chapter 87 of the original story, he would shoot me dead with his own hands. To save my life, I revealed a secret. He let go and locked me in a side courtyard.
On the other side of the courtyard wall, someone brought me a bowl of ginger soup every day. At the bottom of the bowl lay a lotus leaf, with the crooked character for "peace" carved into it.
I didn't know who was on the other side of the wall.
I only knew that in my previous life, someone had taken a blade for me. His hands were cold, and a red cord was tied around his wrist. Before I could ask his name, he disappeared into the borderlands' yellow sands.
The crown prince's beloved had been a fake from the very beginning.
My true savior was the third prince, who had grown up in the cold palace and whose name no one even spoke.
"Your mother said that staying alive matters more than anything."
"But I think she also wanted to say: live well."
"From today on, I'll stay by your side and help you live well."
Everyone said I should accept my fate.
I refused.
I would live. I would wait for a grand bridal procession to come and marry me.
The crown prince asked me, "Do you hate me?"
"No. Because you don't know anything."
I married the abandoned son of the cold palace, and some people said I had married beneath me.
He said, "I'll make everyone know that your marrying me isn't marrying beneath you."
He stood at the city gate, dressed in silver armor, and said:
"I'm back."
