Chi Ying was reborn.
She had been reborn on the day after she found Yan Ci.
Looking at Yan Ci, who was on the verge of death, she hesitated for a long time. In the end, just as she had in her previous life, she cared for him attentively for several months.
Just as he had in her previous life, Yan Ci promised to marry her.
Chi Ying had been found by her master beside a clear pond at the foot of the mountain. She had grown up in a Taoist temple and had a pure heart.
In her previous life, she didn't know Yan Ci was the Crown Prince. Nor did she know that when he said he would "marry her," he meant that after the wedding ceremony, he could only keep her by his side in secret.
She watched him marry, riding a tall horse and welcoming the Crown Princess with a ten-mile procession of wedding gifts. Though she was naive about the ways of the world, she knew she was a mistress who had to stay out of sight.
That day, the Crown Princess, heavily pregnant, brought her poisoned wine and sighed sympathetically.
"It was His Highness's decision. The reputation of the Crown Prince of a nation matters."
Chi Ying drank the poisoned wine.
Her master had hidden his serious illness from her for a long time. Not long after she married Yan Ci, her master passed away.
She had nothing left to hold on to.

"Your birth charts have been checked for compatibility. Is there anything else you need to prepare?"
Yan Ci asked her.
Chi Ying studied his radiant, handsome face and suddenly smiled. "Come down the mountain with me tomorrow."
The next day, Chi Ying took Yan Ci to the biggest men's brothel in the city, sold him for a high price, and used the money to buy the best medicine for her master.
