The Legitimate Daughter Is No Easy Target

In the capital, there was a noble young woman of peerless beauty and graceful figure, dazzling beyond compare. They said she was unlike the timid, delicate daughters of other noble families. Her breathtaking dance at the Divine Entertainment Ceremony had countless young men dreaming of her. The Prince of Duan fell in love with her at first sight and came to her chambers night after night. “Yu Qingqing, run away with me?” Yu Huan lowered her eyes, her face full of longing. But she had lived this life once before, and carried a terrible blood feud. Romance was the last thing on her mind. After four years of hardship, she had ultimately made a wedding dress for someone else. She gave up every honor and entered through a side gate in a bridal sedan, marrying the Third Prince, the least likely of them all to become emperor. All for those two words: love. She learned hidden weapons for Pei Yuanlang, tested poisons and took blades for him, openly and in secret. In return, on the day he ascended the throne, she died in a dungeon. She still remembered her concubine-born younger sister, whose bewitching beauty had blossomed before she knew it, coming to put poison in her mouth while dressed in an empress's robes. … “Sister, you've mistaken me for someone else. Yu Yi was your short-lived younger sister.” “My name is Ruan Jie.” She returned to the year she was fifteen. She was still innocent and carefree, with her family all alive, but she was no longer that timid legitimate daughter. Her younger sister was determined to ruin her future, and her vicious stepmother had framed her time and again. She would no longer keep her head down and endure it! She would avenge this blood feud, and live life on her own terms! The only thing that went wrong was the Prince of Duan, who kept visiting her chambers at night. “Run away with me, Yu Qingqing. I would cast all this wealth and glory aside without a second thought, but you, I could never give up.” The Imperial Preceptor often sat in white, staring blankly at a portrait of Yu Huan. One day, his attendant heard him say, “I hope you get what you wish for.”
