My younger sister and I were the Phoenix Emperor’s most cherished twin daughters. Jealous that the Celestial Crown Prince Cangqiong and I were in love, my sister took my place as his bride. Our mother knelt and begged me to let my sister have her way. In my previous life, I swallowed my resentment and agreed for the sake of our family’s honor. The Heavenly Emperor was delighted and promised that whichever of us gave birth to a royal grandson first would be named Crown Princess. My sister and I gave birth on the same day. She exchanged her daughter, born from her marriage to the Celestial Crown Prince, for my son. With a son to her name, my sister was made Crown Princess and basked in glory. The Crown Prince, meanwhile, neglected and despised me, drained my spiritual power, and cast me into a deserted palace. Her daughter was born wicked, too. She pushed me into the Fallen Gods Abyss and said, “Only when you’re dead can I go back to my real mother.” When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day it all began.
