[Mystical prodigy + marriage first, love later + palace and household intrigue + face-slapping satisfaction]
The Chi family is accused of treason, and Chi Jiaojiao and her younger sister are forced into prostitution for the officials.
To save her sister, she agrees to bear an heir for a condemned prisoner. But only after she becomes pregnant does she discover that the Chi family has not only been exonerated, but promoted.
Her sister slanders her for willingly debasing herself and steals her fiancé.
Her father blames her for bringing shame on the family and declares that she must never see daylight again.
Chi Jiaojiao strokes her belly. “That depends on whether my baby agrees.”
The Chi family protests, “But the child you're carrying isn't Prince Huai's! That's deceiving the emperor, a crime punishable by beheading!”
The notoriously bloodthirsty Prince Huai says, “Anyone who bullies my wife, drag them all out and cut off their heads.”
The whole capital pities the second daughter of the Chi family. Her mother is gone, her father doesn't love her, and she's carrying a condemned prisoner's child. Even dogs would turn their noses up at her.
At that very moment, the baby in Chi Jiaojiao's belly is throwing a tantrum.
“Mother, don't stop me. Watch as I make those scumbags who dared bully you die a million times more horribly.”
Being pregnant with a mighty master of the mystic arts can be a real headache sometimes.
