Why Did the Crown Prince Go Mad After She Faked Her Death?

As Zhi Wu lay dying, she transmigrated into a book. At that moment, the male lead in the book was being brutally tortured by the vicious female antagonist, Gu Panqing. Gu Panqing repeatedly tormented the male lead for the sake of the villainous second male lead she loved. She never wavered in her devotion, and eventually she and the villainous second male lead were both killed off. Zhi Wu: What a touching love story... But she's just a background character, and she still has to care for her beautiful, frail husband. Her husband is handsome and gentle, and the original owner of this body abused him terribly. Softhearted, Zhi Wu makes sure his eyes recover, heals his legs, and nurses him back to health. She waits for the legendary male lead to kill the villainous second male lead and Gu Panqing, who framed him, and bring about a happy ending. Until one day, a stranger comes looking for Zhi Wu. He says, "Miss Panqing, besides poisoning the Crown Prince until he went blind, crippling his legs, and constantly making him drink slow-acting poisonous soup, have you learned anything else interesting from him lately?" Zhi Wu: ... A bolt of lightning splits through Zhi Wu's muddled mind, and she finally realizes a few crushing truths. 1. Her frail, helpless husband is the male lead of this story. 2. His poisoned eyes, ruined knees, and sickly body are all the handiwork of the vicious female antagonist, who did it to curry favor with the vicious male antagonist. 3. She is that vicious female antagonist, Gu Panqing. When she learns the truth, Zhi Wu falls apart on the spot. * To escape this hellish love triangle, Zhi Wu nervously navigates between the book's two lunatics, doing her best to play the role of the vicious female antagonist. Making sure everyone hates her, Zhi Wu calmly brings about the villain's miserable bad ending: abandoned by everyone and left to die in the wilderness. When Zhi Wu returns to her own body and prepares to start a new life, she discovers that... The male lead, now an emperor, has gone mad while clutching her rotting, desiccated bones.

She leaves a deep impression on "Xie Futan" in the dungeon. After waking from the dream, Peony is about to reach a happy ending with "Xie Futan" when she sees his older brother surrounded by righteous cultivators, who treat him like the center of the universe. They're discussing what happened in the dream-dungeon. They're trying to figure out who the vicious woman was who abused Xie Futan, played with his feelings, and then abandoned him! They've got the wrong person... Peony turns to stone on the spot, then covers up the several layers of secret identities she's wearing. Perspective Two: An evil spirit forces Xie Futan to drink a wicked potion. Peony and Xie Futan end up in a strange relationship. When Xie Futan wakes, he agrees to marry her and take her back to the immortal mountain to give her a proper title. Peony thinks she has won Xie Futan's love. As happy as a little sun, she shines on his cool, ethereal face day after day. Then one day, Xie Futan's senior brothers appear, and Peony learns that Xie Futan came down from the mountain to find a cure for his junior sister. As soon as the junior sister gets better, they're going to marry. Peony is the demon Xie Futan hates most. If he takes her back, she'll be put on trial. The spiritual bangle locked around her wrist is the best evidence. * Peony smashes the spiritual bangle, their token of love, and goes to find her evil-spirit friends. Later, one day, someone sees Peony in Xie Futan's cave dwelling. The repaired spiritual bangle is locked tightly around her wrist. The young man before her has his hair loose, looking like a gorgeous ghost, and kisses the flower demon over and over. "Our token isn't broken. We're still husband and wife..." For a long time, when Peony smashed their spiritual bangle, when Peony held hands with someone else, when Peony smiled only at someone else... Something in Xie Futan's heart grew rotten and began to fester, day by day, until it was completely spoiled. 2021/9/5 Theme: Never lose your kind-hearted nature, no matter what
