Going Mad Helps Me Prove the Dao

1. I was born into privilege. My father was a prince of a different surname, and my mother was the Lady Rongguo. I was made a princess at a young age, and with my stunning beauty, I became the envy of everyone and the jewel of the capital. On the surface, I was no different from the noble young ladies of prominent families, but deep down, I knew I was seriously ill. Every blade of grass in the Prince Qing's residence seemed to reek of evil. Whenever I watched those noble ladies putting on airs, I wanted to punch their teeth in. Then one day, I finally lost control and pushed Xu Pan'er, the eldest daughter of the Grand Princess and the Crown Prince's future bride, into the lake. Everyone said I was mad. I was delighted. At last, someone understood me. The Crown Prince came to see me because of it. I was so bored, and perhaps this was my fate, so I became his mistress. I grew tired of him, but he had fallen for me for real. 2. In the eyes of the world, I am the unparalleled, gentle and refined Crown Prince of Great Xia. From a young age, I knew I was seriously ill. Whenever the court officials went on and on, their lips flapping incessantly, I wanted to sew all their mouths shut, then flay and dismember them. The imperial palace was like a splendid tomb, crawling with demons and ghosts, every tile filthy and corrupt. Trapped in the Eastern Palace, I became the most wicked of evil spirits. Yu Yin happened to cross my path. Her skin was whiter than snow, and I thought it would be best to peel it off. The blood underneath must be even brighter. I prepared the sharpest knife. The first time we met, she spent ages talking to me about the Joyful Buddha. Interesting. I decided to keep her around and kill her when I got bored. Before I had the chance to tire of her, she entered the religious life. So I had her temple dismantled and rebuilt inside the palace, with a Buddhist shrine erected beside it, so I could keep her company.
