    🥀🥀🥀🥀Shen Wanshu is the most beautiful princess in Shangjing City. She was raised in a deep palace and is delicate and pitiful. Once she woke up, she found that she was the evil princess living in the storybook. Soon after, the Emperor's Brother Hui disregarded his country's status and became irresistibly obsessed with the heroine of the novel. She constantly targeted the heroine, thus making everyone hate him. The imperial power changed, the emperor's brother was taken away from the throne, and she also fell into the quagmire. From then on, the pearl of a country was surrounded and humiliated by a pack of wolves, who were disgusted by her unruly and vicious nature and coveted her appearance. In the storybook, the one who was most cruel to her, even killing other ferocious beasts to take her back, was the prime minister who could cover the sky with one hand, Pei Yingyan.
