Jiang Qiu was frail from birth. To help him grow up safely, his family gave him the Buddhist name Miaozhen and registered him at a temple as a girl, hoping to fool the Black and White Impermanence and keep them from taking their precious child away.
This unintentional measure saved Jiang Qiu's life. On the day his entire family was massacred, he alone escaped, but he was left homeless and lived in constant fear.
Two months later, dazed and confused, Jiang Qiu came to the gates of his enemy's residence. He had intended to fight to the death, but a surging crowd forced him to his knees. He heard festive music and laughter all around him.
He raised his head. The emperor had arranged a marriage: the Crown Prince was to wed this family's daughter and make her his Crown Princess.
The people nearby were discussing how the Zhang family were already relatives of the imperial house, and now the emperor was rewarding them, too. The whole family was enjoying incomparable glory.
Suddenly, Jiang Qiu no longer wanted to die.
If good and evil went unpunished, how could he die?
--
After losing his family, Jiang Qiu became the Crown Prince's bedmate.
Everyone in the Eastern Palace thought the Crown Prince had brought home a frail, helpless dependent. They never expected him to be a beautiful snake.
The beautiful snake wanted to take lives, but the kindhearted Crown Prince insisted Jiang Qiu was just a lonely, innocent, good-natured child. He indulged him in every way and pitied him endlessly.
When the truth came out, Jiang Qiu dropped his act completely. With nothing left to lose, he lashed out at the Crown Prince.
Everyone in the Eastern Palace breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness! The Crown Prince could finally see how vicious and wicked his bedmate was!
Jiang Qiu thought he was done for, too. But the Crown Prince not only spared him, he sent people to bring him nourishing medicine every day and personally watched him take it.
Jiang Qiu was almost moved by the Crown Prince's kindness.
Until he noticed his belly growing bigger by the day.
