Wang Shuying was once the most dazzling censor daughter in the capital, until her fiancé Yang Qihan sent her family to prison.
In order to cling to the princess, he crushed the engagement with his own hands and laughed at her desolation.
The night she became a maid, she knelt outside the princess's bedroom, listening to the lingering sounds inside, and burned her last bit of innocence to ashes.
Prince Jing Zhao Tingyun offered a glimmer of hope at that time:
"Cooperate with me, I will help you stand up, and you will help me seize power."
She caught the cold copper whistle and also took the gamble of her life.
——
Many years later, the new emperor held her hand and asked her on the ruins of the old princess mansion if she still hated her.
She looked at the haggard old friend in the prison car in the distance and smiled sweetly:
"Hate? No, I just thank them for teaching me how to win."
