After the Heir Took Me and Cast Me Aside

To protect her baked bun from being stolen, the little beggar fled in a panic into a dark, cluttered alley, where she came upon a man on the verge of death.

After that, she never went hungry again. She had a comfortable home and a lovely name, and he taught her to read and cultivate, guiding her every step of the way.

She had never imagined she was one of the rare few in the Great Ling Dynasty with the aptitude to cultivate. From then on, she no longer had to fear being beaten or having her food stolen.

On the eve of her coming-of-age ceremony, she happily went to the shops to pick out a beautiful dress, looking forward to marrying him and spending her life at his side.

But he vanished without warning.

Unwilling to admit she had been abandoned, she searched for him day and night for three years. Only then did she discover that the frail man from the frontier was none other than the celebrated heir to the title of Prince Duan.

The little beggar traveled thousands of miles to the capital to find him.

She rushed into a banquet at the prince's residence and, amid everyone's astonished stares, walked straight up to the noble, dazzling heir seated in the place of honor. Clutching his sleeve, she asked, "Why did you leave?"

The heir indifferently pulled his sleeve away, put an arm around the beautiful concubine beside him, and smiled faintly. "I simply got tired of living with you in that shabby little house."

The little beggar's hand froze in midair, her fair face filled with confusion.

Laughter rose around the banquet. They mocked her for a toad who thought it could reach a swan.

Servants dragged her out of the prince's residence. As she left, she struggled to turn around and look back. The heir was laughing and chatting with his concubine, not sparing her another glance.

The day the little beggar left the capital, thunder cracked across the clear sky and a sudden downpour began. Then came the terrible news: the heir had died... She clung to his cold body and wept bitterly, full of hatred and grief. She hated him so much... and grieved that she would never see him again.

Reborn, she took her resentment out on the heir. As she kept tormenting him, she ended up being elevated to the throne as empress.
