Xie Siyin was engaged.

But after the engagement was arranged, she had an unspeakable dream every night.

In it, a Miaojiang youth whose face she couldn't see forced her to taste every pleasure amid the jingling of silver bells.

She woke in a panic every day, telling herself that it was only a dream.

Until she ran into a young man whose voice was exactly like the one in her dreams. He was handsome and wicked, and skilled at using Gu.

Xie Siyin gritted her teeth. So this was the source of it all.

She plotted against him, had him thrown into a water dungeon, then turned around and married someone else.

But on her wedding day, he appeared again.

Dressed in indigo, his clothes soaked through with blood, he stopped the wedding ceremony with a smiling voice. "Xie Siyin, do you dare bow?"

Later... snakes and Gu filled the streets, and blood ran in rivers.

Her new husband lay on the ground, his life uncertain.

But that man merely curled his lips. "Since I owe the Princess a wedding night, I should pay it back."

**

Recently, Xie Siyin has felt that something is wrong with her. Her handsome husband is obedient and devoted, but for some reason, she's terrified of him.

When her husband noticed, he fell silent for a moment, then smiled. "You must have been frightened by those bandits a while back. Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xie Siyin nodded and believed him.

But as time passed, she began to see all sorts of things that weren't there.

In her visions, there really were villains and criminals.

But the villain... was her handsome husband.

Reading Guide:

1. Fictional history. Please don't scrutinize the details.

2. Be kind in your comments. Let's all be civil.

3. You don't have to announce it if you're dropping the story. Read or leave as you like. There are countless good stories out there, so know when to cut your losses.

4. Both leads are virgins, but readers who have strict expectations of the heroine's purity may want to avoid this story. The heroine spends a lot of time with the second male lead early on, and likes and admires him.

5. Happy ending! But expect a mix of sweet and sour, bitter and spicy, joy and heartbreak.

6. That's all I can think of. Wishing everyone good luck and good fortune.

Princess Chen Ciyin died, then came back to life.

But she woke up in the body of one of her younger brother's neglected concubines.

Chen Ciyin: No problem. She knew her own little brother. Once she saw him, everything would be fine.

But when she finally managed to see her younger brother, she found her sweet, obedient little brother holding her corpse... and confessing his love to it!!!

Chen Ciyin: ?

Chen Ciyin: !!!

She retreated in terror and turned to run.

But she had barely taken two steps when a cold, chilling voice drifted from behind her. "Consort, what did you see?"

Chen Ciyin's foot slipped, and she fell straight to the ground. Before she could get back up, her body shuddered uncontrollably.

She heard the sound of a sword being drawn.

A moment later, the wind whistled as it cut through the air. Chen Ciyin's scalp prickled. She shouted, "Zhinu!"

The sword stopped a mere inch from her back. After a long pause, the man asked in a trembling voice, "What... did you call me?"

Chen Ciyin's heart pounded. She closed her eyes, made her body twitch, and whimpered, "Zhinu! Mother missed you so much!"

The Emperor: ?

The Emperor: !!!

Chen Chengzu knew his elder sister had returned.

Because only his elder sister would gently call him Zhinu and say she missed him.

But she seemed to have been frightened by what she just saw...

It didn't matter. He would coax her slowly.

If she wanted to be his mother-consort, he would respectfully call her Mother Empress.

If she wanted to choose his consorts for him, he would let her. They'd only be there for show anyway.

There was only one thing he wouldn't allow: she couldn't leave his side.

[Note: 1. The princess and the emperor are not related by blood!!!

2. Nothing happens between them while they are still in a family relationship.]
