She should have been enjoying the easy life of a wealthy, noble family.
But who could have expected that, for the sake of Noble Consort Chun, her mild-mannered, courteous father would falsify celestial omens and defy all opposition, successfully sending the crown prince to a temple to pray to Buddha?
Wu Miaoyi had no choice but to feign illness and weakness to stop her father from taking part in the struggle for the throne.

Crown Prince Xiao Ming was narrow-minded and sinister, and never let a grudge go unanswered. The director of the Imperial Observatory had falsified celestial omens and caused him to be sent away from the palace, so he resolved to get revenge.
He announced that the crown prince would return to the palace, waiting for the Imperial Observatory to use the omens to urge him to do so, which would prove that they had falsified the omens and deceived the emperor.
Unexpectedly, the director of the Imperial Observatory’s only daughter fell seriously ill, keeping him away from court for several days in a row.
Since the girl was so seriously ill, he didn’t mind making her disappear for good.
Then he unexpectedly ran into the frail, gravely ill daughter of the Imperial Observatory’s director and overturned her carriage.
The girl nearly discovered the assassins he had hidden at the temple, too.
The naturally suspicious crown prince had her kidnapped, but she escaped unharmed.
He sent a playboy from the capital to seduce her, but his cousin was so smitten with her that he wept and told him, “Miss Wu is frail. Cousin, you shouldn’t treat her this way.”
So he had no choice but to enter the game himself.
This woman had ruined his grand plan and was playing weak while hiding her true nature. He would make her pay for it!

A few months later, a spy reported, “The director of the Imperial Observatory has falsified the celestial omens again. He says the Eastern Palace should not hold a wedding!”
Xiao Ming kicked the spy. “Nonsense! How dare you say my father-in-law falsified the celestial omens!”
Theme: If you have a grudge, take revenge. If you have a grievance, settle it.
