Humiliating the Untouchable Flower

After working for the Time and Space Bureau for who knows how many years, Zhao Yingyu grew tired of it and chose a peaceful world where she could retire. Who knew the System would malfunction, activate a villain questline, and send her into a world based on an old revenge novel called For the Throne, where she became the fiancée of Yan Jiazhen, the disgraced former Crown Princess.

After the Eastern Palace stripped her of her title and reduced her to a commoner, everyone avoided her, or even kicked her while she was down to curry favor with the new Crown Princess. Zhao Yingyu was the worst of them all.

Not only did she flatter the new ruler and ask to call off the engagement, she also used her status to visit the former Crown Princess in confinement and humiliate her to her heart's content. Every so often, she would fabricate baseless accusations against her, making her already difficult circumstances even worse.

This time, she was up to her old tricks, pretending her hand had slipped as she dumped out the former Crown Princess's meal.

She knew that in the future, the former Crown Princess would find an opportunity to escape her cage, gather troops, and march on the capital.

She would bathe the palace in blood, execute the court officials, and take revenge for every wrong done to her.

As one of the chief culprits, Zhao Yingyu would meet a terrible end too: the former Crown Princess would shoot an arrow straight through her, then hang her corpse above the city gate for three days and nights.

For some reason, after Yan Jiazhen took her revenge, she did not become a wise ruler for the ages. Instead, she burned herself to death, causing the world to collapse.

The System wanted Zhao Yingyu to play a wicked villain, but also wanted her to repair Yan Jiazhen's fate and prevent her from setting herself on fire.

Zhao Yingyu: "..." This was going to be hard. Who gets to retire and still has to work? For the sake of a smooth retirement, Zhao Yingyu could only put on a bitter smile and get to work.

She humiliated Yan Jiazhen to please the new Crown Princess and secure political support, while secretly helping Yan Jiazhen through a nurturing system.

After Yan Jiazhen reclaimed her place as Crown Princess and seized power from the emperor, the despised traitor Zhao Yingyu took the opportunity to fake her death and hide away in Jiangnan.

Yan Jiazhen searched for Zhao Yingyu like a madwoman. Everyone said the Eastern Palace would grind the faithless Zhao Yingyu's bones to dust.

But that was not what Yan Jiazhen wanted. She only wanted to finally hold the wedding that had been delayed for years: to bow to Heaven and Earth together, and spend their lives hand in hand.

No one knew Yan Jiazhen had a secret. While she was imprisoned, a "deity" would always come to help her.

She could not see or touch the figure, and her consciousness would always sink into confusion, until one day she finally saw the "deity's" face.

It was the former fiancée who had tormented her.
