Zhao Rongyi was sickly from childhood. The Imperial Physician said she would not live past twenty. For the first sixteen years of her life, she was pampered and privileged, the little princess everyone envied, Princess Changshun.
But from that day on, the name "Changshun" became a joke. In the turmoil of a chaotic age, her father got her drunk and sent her to the Kingdom of Dai. Once she left, she would never see her mother or elder brother again.
In the sixth year of the Dasui era, the princess was tortured to death before her twentieth birthday. She hated everyone in the Kingdom of Dai with all her heart.
After being reborn, Zhao Rongyi no longer loved her father, and she had no interest in her position as princess. She had no need for an incompetent, foolish father who would use his daughter to secure his own peace.
To avoid repeating the past, she turned Zhao Chenqian, her brother who doted on her to an obsessive degree, into a weapon to take revenge on their father, the Kingdom of Dai, and the people who had plotted against her. But she never expected that when she went mad, her brother would be even madder.
He murdered his father and seized power, scheming to take the throne and securing his position at every step. He purged the court of those who opposed him, killing them all.
"A Yi, come to me and be good."
Staring at the sinister, murderous demon before her, Zhao Rongyi could not reconcile him with the kind, gentle elder brother she remembered. Had her brother been cursed by some wicked sorcery, or had someone taken over his body?
"No matter how absurd you are, a brother cannot take his own sister as his lover. Wouldn't that violate all human decency and make us a laughingstock to the world?"
She hoped her words would bring Zhao Chenqian back to his senses, but the last barrier between them vanished.
The man raised an eyebrow, a wicked smile playing across his exquisitely handsome face. "I knew from the start that you weren't my real sister. Your brother never makes a wasted move. Even after you've been used, you shouldn't forget the favor you owe me."
On the day of the wedding ordained by the late emperor's edict, the Prince Regent seized the Grand Tutor's wife, shocking the whole city. Rumors about the Prince Regent never ceased. Everyone called him a heartless, cruel madman, but after the wedding, he reserved his tenderness for the one and only person who mattered.
