One day, the male lead conquered Shangdu and became regent, determined to skin Yuan Xiao alive and tear her bones from her body. In the palace, the regent sharpened his blades every day, always ready to kill her. Outside the palace, a hidden villain tortured her a hundred times over in little picture books. A Qianniu Guard officer spied on her imperial bedchamber every day. Even the newly appointed top scholar kept calling her a tyrant who ruined the nation and deserved to die... Yuan Xiao lived in fear every day. At last, she found a chance to escape, only to discover that she was pregnant... She had no idea how she got pregnant, either. But after she was captured and brought back, the regent used his newly sharpened sword to peel apples for her. The hidden villain started drawing little picture books to entertain her. The Qianniu Guard officer swung his sword in front of her bed every day to swat mosquitoes. Even the new top scholar began reciting poetry and prose to give the baby a prenatal education... Yuan Xiao was even more terrified...
