It wasn't until his death that Chu Li realized that he was a cannon fodder female supporting character in a Machiavellian novel, and that His Highness the Seventh Prince, the purest and most unfavored in the palace, would turn dark and become a villain in the future, and would eventually die under the sword of the male protagonist.
After seeing her die, His Highness the Seventh Prince took the snuff bottle she gave him and blew in the cold wind all night by the Jinghu Lake where they first met. His thin and frail figure, wrapped in loneliness, stung her eyes.
It was also at this time that she realized that His Highness the Seventh Prince, who had always turned a blind eye to her and was cold and distant, actually liked her as a friend, even though she was the daughter of a guilty minister and was brought into the palace as a slave.
With red eyes, she secretly swore that if there was an afterlife, she would hug him and tell him personally that he was not some unknown person!
Later, the wish came true.
Based on her memory, she selected noble ladies from aristocratic families who would be beneficial to His Highness Seventh Prince, and asked him to choose the princess and concubine with the list.
The Seventh Prince, who had always been gentle and reserved, suddenly became red-eyed, grabbed her wrist, and asked her angrily: "Are you so unwilling to serve me?"
Chu Li: "..."

Yu Jingze, who grew up in a cold palace, always knew that he was an ominous person. He killed his mother and concubine, and was not liked by his father. Even the palace people bullied him.
He endured it silently and never spoke of suffering.
In the winter when he was six years old, he caught a cold, but no one cared about him or gave him medicine. Just when he was about to cry from the discomfort, a little palace maid stuffed him with a very delicate snuff bottle.
He liked it so much that he was reluctant to use it.
But he didn't dare to get close to her, because he was ominous and everyone close to him would be unlucky, so he watched from a distance until one day, she fainted in the deserted corridor. He was frightened and ran over.
She knocked her head and it became swollen. Just when he was panicking and about to take out the golden sore medicine he had finally obtained, the little palace maid suddenly opened her eyes. He subconsciously wanted to hide, but was hugged tightly by a small body.
He was stunned immediately.
That was the first time he felt that he was needed.

Many years later, Xiao Douding was punished by his father to copy books. He felt aggrieved and rushed into his mother's palace. He hugged his mother's legs and cried loudly: "My father doesn't like me at all. He always likes to be angry with me, but never with my mother!"
Chu Li couldn't help but laugh and cry, coaxing his son: "Why not? I've sent it before!"
Little Douding looked up with tears in his eyes: "Really?"
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
... She would not tell her son that Yu Jingze only got angry with her once, because of choosing the prince's concubine.
