My name is Shen Weiwan. I am an orphan girl picked up from the roadside by Prime Minister Xie Linyuan. I grew up in the prime minister's house and raised her as a child bride. In the past twenty years, I have been as docile as a bird and as timid as a rabbit. I have taken his words as a guideline and regarded his kindness as my life. I have been waiting with all my heart to become his legitimate wife when I have hair extensions, wearing red makeup.
I never thought that this long-awaited marriage would completely collapse on the eve of the wedding.
The current prince, Xiao Jingheng, had always been afraid of Xie Linyuan's power over the government and the public, so he had no idea what to do, so he pointed his sharp blade at me, the person at the center of Xie Linyuan's mouth. He broke into the prime minister's palace with the force of thunder, ignored the criticism from the government and the public, and ignored my knees crying and pleading, and forcibly took me into the East Palace and imprisoned me as the humblest concubine in his palace.
He was the tyrant who humiliated Xie Linyuan, and he was the prison that trapped me. I was afraid of him, hated him, and looked forward to Xie Linyuan day and night to rescue me from this cannibal palace wall.
But what I'm waiting for is not redemption, but deeper utilization.
Xie Linyuan secretly sent a message, coaxing me in a gentle voice, saying that I was the only spy he had placed around the prince, and that he wanted me to pretend to be obedient, steal secrets, help him overthrow the prince, and give me peace for the rest of my life.
I believe it, I believe that he must have true love for me when he supports me, and I believe that everything I do is for our future. So I hid my fear, learned to serve with tenderness, and turned Xiao Jingheng's trust, tenderness and preference into a sharp blade that stabbed him.
He would protect me when I was frightened, would remember that I didn't like sweet taste, would tell me late at night that I couldn't help being the prince, and would hold the softest sincerity in front of me. But I turned a blind eye and just thought it was all the hypocrisy of the Emperor's family, leaking his plans time and time again and crushing his sincerity.
It wasn't until the eve of the palace change that I discovered the truth that could destroy my life.
Xie Linyuan had a secret conversation with his confidants, and every word was heart-breaking. I was never his child bride, let alone his weakness. From the day I was picked up, I was his dead end, a tool he used to humiliate the prince and seize the imperial power. When he succeeds, I will be silenced by him and there will be no future troubles.
Years of upbringing were shattered into powder in one day.
I finally woke up. The person who imprisoned me in the palace wall treated me with all his heart; the person who raised me in the greenhouse used me to the bone.
Sudden changes occurred in the palace, Xiao Jingheng was defeated and deposed, the throne changed hands, and he was demoted to a deserted land thousands of miles away. Xie Linyuan had great power and sent someone to take me back to his home. He promised me half a lifetime of prosperity, but he still looked gentle and hypocritical.
But I will never look back.
In front of the civil and military officials of the court, I shook off his outstretched hand and walked resolutely towards the prince who was in a state of embarrassment but still looking at me.
Jamel Xiao, I'll go with you.
