I was the Grand Princess, yet I had nine consorts. One day, while I was feeding the fish in the back courtyard, I overheard my nine consorts plotting with a brothel maid to steal my position as princess. I wasn't angry. I simply smiled, then quietly left, and even dismissed their servants so no one would hear what they had said. In my previous life, my nine consorts had threatened me, and I was timid and weak, giving in to Qin Ruoyun at every turn. But now I was reborn. As the men who were about to marry me crowded around Ruoyun and let her claim the imperial carriage bestowed on me, I snatched the coachman's whip and struck her across the face. “You worthless wretches dare steal what's mine?”
