Why Fight Over the Crown Prince When the Emperor's Arms Are Better?

[Reborn and Remarried] [Rivalry for Her Affections] [Shura Field] [The Villainess Will Not Forgive]

Sheng Wanning was the legitimate eldest daughter of the Marquis of Pingxi's household, but she grew up at her maternal grandfather's home and wasn't brought back to the family to discuss marriage until she came of age.

By chance, she saved the empress, and the emperor arranged her marriage to the Crown Prince.

But the empress was unhappy that she brought no advantages to the Crown Prince. She joined forces with Sheng Wanning's stepmother to drug her and ruin her reputation.

When they found her, they even forced her to prove her innocence by crashing her head against a pillar, killing her.

Her vengeful spirit lingered, and she watched as her younger half-sister, Sheng Qingqing, married the Crown Prince in a grand ceremony, carrying the million taels of dowry that should have been hers.

Reborn in a single day, she returned to the moment she was drugged in the plum grove at Yushan.

This time, she went straight to the Prayer Hall deep in the plum grove.

The most powerful man in the land was inside, praying for his late mother.

She stumbled into his arms and trembled like a little animal as she whimpered, "Please, help me. I feel so strange!"

His voice hoarse, he was almost swept away by her sweet, delicate voice.

He reached out, grasped her slender chin, and asked, "Sheng Wanning, do you know who I am?"

Her eyes were terribly red as she nodded emphatically. "You're the emperor, Your Majesty!"

He sighed with difficulty. "Since you know that, I can't touch you!"

But she clung to him, leaving him no chance to refuse.

Sheng Wanning whimpered, "Please, Your Majesty!"

After a night of passion, the emperor was eager to bring her into the palace.

But Crown Prince Xiao Rui changed his mind. He wanted to marry Sheng Wanning and bring her younger sister, Sheng Qingqing, into the Eastern Palace too.

Sheng Wanning scolded him disdainfully. "Get lost! I'm already carrying the emperor's baby!"

The Crown Prince was utterly heartbroken and demanded through gritted teeth, "Sheng Wanning, why did you use me and then abandon me? You were supposed to be my wife!"
