The Gu-Wielding Prince and the Marquis’s Legitimate Daughter Strike Back

“Second Sister, it’s time for your medicine!” Only when her third sister’s smiling face accompanied the last cup of poison down her throat did Chu Xiren realize that the sisterly affection she had believed in was nothing but a cruel joke. Only when her third sister bragged about carrying King Xin’s child did Chu Xiren realize that the eight years of happiness she had cherished were nothing but a false performance, staged to win her father’s influence. So the peerless martial artist and legitimate daughter of a marquis’s house had been nothing but a fool. She was a fool, and she accepted that. She was dead, and she accepted that, too. But why should the entire Marquis of Wuzhao’s household have to suffer for it? Her father and brothers were murdered, dying with grievances unresolved. Her mother had died young, and the truth finally came to light. Her own younger sister fell into the hands of a villain who had usurped another’s place. A river bore her shattered soul away. Returning from the brink of death, Chu Xiren swore to exact her revenge. She knew the emperor had a beloved empress in his heart, so she tried to imitate every one of her expressions and smiles, all to enter the palace as a consort. But by a twist of fate, rumors began to spread that she was involved with the beloved empress’s son. His legs were paralyzed, and the emperor despised him. There was nothing good about him except his face. Well, he was a prince, after all. She supposed she could make do with him!
