Reborn into a new life, Qin Qing swore she would live for herself.
Her stepmother tried to spoil her with excessive praise, so Qin Qing played along and made sure she dressed and ate far better than her stepsister.
When her stepsister tried to get close, Qin Qing seized the chance to ruin her marriage prospects, avenging her previous life, when her stepsister had maneuvered her into marrying a man who loved other men.
In this life, she wouldn’t trust others again. She would grow close to her maternal grandparents’ family and make them her strongest support.
In this life, she wouldn’t trust others again. She would make sure the grandmother who loved her wouldn’t become estranged from her, and she would become the Seventh Young Miss no one in the household dared to provoke.
In this life, she wouldn’t trust others again. She would change the fate that had led her beloved elder brother to investigate her future husband’s background, only for him to be murdered to keep him quiet.
In this life, she wouldn’t marry a scumbag again. She would uncover his secret and avoid being poisoned to death.
In this life, she wouldn’t keep pining for an uncaring father or ruin herself just to win his affection.
In this life, she would tell the world: My fate is mine to decide, not Heaven’s!
Scene:
[The Pregnancy]
In the study, a guard rushed in excitedly to report, “Your Highness, the Princess Consort says she’s pregnant!”
“The Princess Consort is pregnant? Who’s the father?” the prince asked, completely unfazed.
“W-well…” Who else could it be but you? the guard thought. He’d come to collect a reward, not get silenced, hadn’t he?
Suddenly, the prince sprang out of his chair and ran back to the inner courtyard.
“Y-you’re pregnant?” the prince stammered.
“Mm!” the princess consort replied, blushing sweetly.
“I’m the father?”
“Come here. I promise I won’t beat you to death!”
“Haha, I’m a father!”
You’re going to be a father, the guard thought, watching his master act like a fool. Why did his wife’s pregnancy make it seem like the prince was going to be stupid for three years? Had he lost his mind? Could he get a new master?
[On the Gender of Rivals]
“Your Highness, Miss Qin and Miss Song went to the Jade Pavilion,” the guard reported as instructed.
“Mm.”
“Your Highness, Miss Qin and Miss Song went on an outing in the countryside.”
“Mm.”
“Your Highness, Miss Qin personally taught Miss Song to ride a horse.”
“Mm.” The prince was secretly annoyed. Did she really have to teach her to ride herself?
“Your Highness, Miss Qin went with her arm around Miss Song…”
“Stop. Why does Qin Qing always go out with this Miss Song?” She’d even taught her personally and put her arm around her. Something was wrong! Had he been guarding against the wrong gender all along?
How could he have let his guard down just because they were the same gender? Damn, he’d been careless!!!
He knew his darling girl was irresistible to everyone, men and women alike!
The prince slapped his thigh and dashed out at once!
