Everyone said Lan Shuang was lucky. Born a princess of Xiliang, she enjoyed the support of the people and was cherished by all, making everyone else envious.
But at sixteen, she was still sent by the King of Xiliang to marry into the Great Wei dynasty, like a piece of merchandise.
Everyone said Lan Shuang was lucky again. In her second life as a woman, she had risen straight to the pinnacle of the Great Wei dynasty and become the Crown Princess.
But at only seventeen, she had to contend with the women of the Eastern Palace, and every night she heard the man beside her call out another woman's name.
Everyone sighed again at how lucky Lan Shuang was. The Crown Prince ascended the throne early, and she was about to begin a glorious life as the most honored woman in Great Wei.
But at only nineteen, after three years without bearing a child, she was sent to the Cold Palace, living in constant fear.
Even when war flared up again on the western frontier, people still said Lan Shuang was lucky. The two nations were at war, yet the emperor kept her safe inside the palace, not letting her suffer so much as a scratch.
In truth, she had only just turned twenty when the man beside her sent her a cup of poisoned wine.
Heaven gave her a chance to live again. This time, she would try being the princess everyone called "unlucky."
