"By just loving you, how did I.. become this miserable?"The crimson color of his blood that was on his thumb softly touched my lips. The male lead bent down, a delicate kiss brushed my forehead.'Li Han..'My troubled eyes fluttered closed. A traitorous tear rolled down."My lady!""Your Highness!"Urgent shouts and several footsteps came. The scene in front of the guards came as terrifying shock to them. The kiss.. the blood.. the lady..I think General Ming and Jin'er were the first one to moved. I opened my eyes when they tried to pull me away from Li Han."Call the imperial physician!""Your Highness!"And I.. I didn't noticed that I was gripping the male lead's injured shoulders or.. the fact that I was crying.Cold fear spiraled through me. My world was growing hazy. I don't remember much of what happened next. My vision was too blurry due to the unending tears."Go! Find the assassin! Arrest her no matter what!"It was chaos. My memories was swept and dusted by the bloody sce
"He's your son.." I choked."My son?" Concubine Zhi laughed and arched her well maintained brow at me. So high that it almost reached the roof."Ha! Even from the start, I don't really have any hope for that bastard. I also wonder, without any protection of anyone, all these years how did he managed to survive inside the palace? Li Han is really something don't you think, Lady Bai?"His small tormented body, his tears and his screams.. the kid Li Han.. I could barely imagine the male lead's desolation during his childhood.Throughout his life, Li Han was cursed by everyone.Ignored by his father, bullied by his half-siblings, mocked and pushed down by the servants. Since childhood, the numerous times of assassination attempts to the male lead's life were also mentioned in the novel.Even his biological mother.. The fact that his great sufferings have all began to his mother.The male lead have first experienced those mortifying things, the cruelty of life from the person he called mo
"Xin'er."I have to calm down. 'Rack your brains out, Liu Shishi.'I have a huge advantage. I know the flow of the story. Thinking about it for a few seconds, it made me realize I can still save the novel.. can still save the male lead. Can still have my death ending. 'Cheer up!'I have become Bai Suxin. I lived her life for five years. I studied the green-tea villainess character well. I understand her position in her family's heart.When Bai Meili was pregnant with Bai Suxin, the Bai couple visited a famous shrine. At the suggestion of the Bai Patriarch, they agreed to meet the mysterious female shaman named Wu Mian. This sorceress was a renowned fortune teller and traveller.Wu Mian predicted that the child on Bai Meili's stomach will provide the Bai family with glory and honor. Her words: "She will grow up representing grace and virtue. She will bring peace and prosperity to the land. This child has surrounded by a mystical phoenix aura."That's how Bai Suxin became the greatest
'What?'Bai Meili lovingly stroked my cheeks. Her eyes were red because she had been crying. "His Majesty the Emperor didn't die. Colluding with the Duke of Hebei in an attempt of assassination to His Highness Nan King, the emperor ordered to have you and your father arrested."'What?'She paused. "The royal guards are coming. We need to flee, fast."I stopped her from dragging me. "How about Fūqìn?"'Mother of Pearls!' I didn't know that the plot was rapidly progressing when I was in my dreamland. After the poisoning scene, there should be another two days before the fall of the Left Prime Minister House."Your father is waiting for us. We will meet at Kulian Dock. Come. We don't have time."At the southern exit of the manor, two carriages were waiting for us."Xin'er, hurry." Bai Meil's voice was full of anxiety.The carriage went in full speed. 'Mother of–.' I planted myself in the wall like a scared fugly lizard.The feeling of the need to throw up had started. 'Again? D@mn carria
Her tears ceased. Bai Meili slowly withdrew away from me.I stared back at my mother with a blank expression. I leaned to her ear and whispered: "That's why.. every year, on my birthday, I only wish for one thing.""In the next life, I wish a good person will become my mother."Bai Meili subconsciously took a step back. As her face marked by unbelief, the woman gasped; covering her lips with both hands. "X-Xin'er.. You.."Indifferently, I turned away from Bai Meili then shifted my attention to my personal maid. "Jin'er."Removing Jin'er's hand from my sleeve was quite challenging. I smiled to her patiently. "Take care of the Madam for me, okay?"Despite the tears on her face, her Janice Wu-like beauty didn't even diminished a bit. 'Ah my heart. My belle!'General Ming suddenly spoke: "My lady."When he saw me nodding my head, the general bowed, clearly pleased. He turned to his men and said: "Bring the carriage here.""Yes."'Ah. I am the best green-tea villainess of all time. Goodbye
(Note: Wàngfêi- means the wife of a prince; princess consort)——'Wàngfêi? Who? Me?' I almost pointed at myself and asked Qiuyue not to make a joke. It made me nervous more than the sword that was on my neck."This woman must die.""Lady Chu.""Because of you, His Highness.. You harmed him. If I came too late, he'll..""Lady Chu, don't scare our wàngfêi. Put down your weapon."Suddenly, someone tried to attack Chu Wanwan. Her reflex action was to dodged quickly. When the female lead was distracted, Qiuyue immediately pulled me and put me behind the royal guards, shielding me from our mad goddess."Jin'er?"'What is she doing here?'Jin'er tried to attack the female lead with a dagger but Chu Wanwan was fast to dodged and countered with a heavy punch on the abdomen of her attacker. "Jin'er!"The female lead waved her sword in the air. Now, she was determined to charge towards my personal maid."Stop! Stop her." I scolded the royal guards."Yes."The conflict that was happening infront
Shouts of men and clashes of swords brought me up from sleep. I blinked. I woke up in panic hearing the clamorous sound of my surroundings.I was having an insane dream earlier. I was dreaming vividly. I stared at my hand, particularly at my scar. I had no idea what happened. 'Mother of–!'My head was heavy. My body felt a little tired. I felt like there was a giant duck sitting on my chest.'What's the hell is this?' When my vision cleared, I recognized Qiuyue and Jin'er by my side."My lady, you fainted thirty minutes ago and by that time, the faction of the Duke of Hebei.. have infiltrated the Yongshou Palace. But don't worry, my lady. His Highness Nan King is here to save you.""Protect the wàngfêi!" My eyes snapped at the familiar voice. 'Li Han.'Swords flashing. Not far away, the assassins sprinted towards the male lead. Dozen of arrows were flying everywhere and one almost hit my feet."Oh god!" I exclaimed.Chu Wanwan clothed in a man's attire, fought side by side with Li H
So strange. I thought Li Han likes carrying me. Now, seeing him embracing another woman.. caring for another woman, I found it somewhat strange.The night was dark and damp. It resembled the feelings of my heart right now.My throat felt dry and my knees weak. I didn't know what terrifies me, the sight of my wound or the sight of them together right now?I lowered my head. 'That's funny.'A trickle of jealousy moved through me, but I promptly dismissed it. I must be crazy. There's no reason for me to be jealous alright. Absolutely none. Nada.I wanted to laugh.I'm supposed to die by poisoning, not by an arrow.General Ming saluted and said, "My lady, we must go now. This servant will take you to Taiji Palace."I stayed still. Unlike earlier, the surroundings were deadly silent."M-my lady?" I think General Ming noticed something.Li Han had already left with Chu Wanwan, so I shouldn't just stand here and stay with a disappointed look. What was I expecting? They were the main charact
