An Yue was the orphaned daughter of a prince of a different surname and a Grand Princess. Deeply favored by the emperor, she was arrogant and domineering, paying no heed even to the empress. In the end, she got her wish and married the Second Prince, the man she had long yearned for, only to be strangled to death by him on their wedding day.
After transmigrating into the novel as An Yue, she thought of the original heroine's fate, clutched her chest, and decided to keep her head down and stay out of trouble.
The emperor asked worriedly, "Are you unhappy because I refused to let you marry your second cousin? Since Yue is so upset, I'll grant you two a marriage decree."
An Yue tumbled out of bed in fright. "Uncle Emperor, Yueyue doesn't want to marry Second Brother. I heard that close relatives who have children together are likely to have foolish children."
The emperor frowned and pondered for a long time. Thinking of the children he had with Noble Consort Liu, he said, "That makes sense. Forget it."
Noble Consort Liu angrily smashed a blue porcelain cup. "Have you found out why the emperor hasn't come to my Pixiang Palace in so long?"
To cheer An Yue up, the emperor gathered eligible young men from across the capital in the palace, letting her pick a few to keep around and amuse herself. But the heroine of the palace banquet never showed up.
The emperor asked with a dark expression, "Have you found out what A Yue has been busy with lately?"
"I heard the princess took in a beggar. He's handsome and refined, and the princess adores him."
Theme: No matter what circumstances you face, stay optimistic and open-minded, and live life well.
I feel like this heroine is also a scam. She doesn't like the second prince and refuses to the end and makes it clear. I can't stand it. The heroine is a bit stupid.
