Chapter 1 (1/2)

The story takes places during the Xia Dynasty. This dynasty was rich, prosperous and all the common people were happy. The ruler of this dynasty surnamed Xuanyuan, currently the Emperor was old in age because of this many of the royal princes were competing, gradually revealing their talent in court, however, the male lead of this story was a prince born from an unfavoured imperial consort. This fifth prince was born with a birth defect, his birth mother who was only a palace maid left behind a child unfavoured by both the emperor and empress dowager, because of this at the age of 16, when he was a young adult, the fifth prince Xuanyuan Qing immediately left the Royal Palace and moved to a separate residence bestowed by the Emperor. Until two years later, the fifth prince reached marriageable age but there was no one that would be willing to marry their daughter to a prince that was disabled and unfavoured. In August of that year, the fifth prince suddenly developed a serious illness, an Imperial Priest consulted his illness and requested to find a female maiden that fate cancelled out his unluckiness.

And the person that had this matching fate with the fifth prince was actually the daughter of the Imperial Censor.

The daughter of the Imperial Censor name was Ye Zhihua and as the name suggests she was a talented beauty, by the age of fifteen she already had a lot of suitors.

After Imperial Censor Ye learnt of this compatibility with the fifth prince, of the daughter that he unconditionally pampered as well as his First wife that was also very saddened by this. However, Ye Zhihua was a very clever person only people in the household knew of this aspect, not even the emperor knew who that maiden was.

She remembered that in the family she still had another sister born one hour after her because of this she had the intention of changing the bride.

Although the fifth prince was not favoured but in the end, he was still apart of the Royal Family, they could not hide from this marriage but instead, if they took the initiative to hand over the maiden they would be praised by the Emperor.

Moreover, Ye Zhihua knows that this sister of her was a timid and weak person. This type of person that had no talent or virtue could not be married to any good family in the future. As an elder sister, that did this kind of deed she thought that she was very benevolent. This is a very good thing!

Therefore, after Imperial Censor Ye had a discussed with the family, he decided to follow Ye Zhihua’s plan, of sending Ye Zhillin to the fifth prince residence for Xuanyuan Qing.

Ye Zhilin was not favoured in the Ye family, her mother was only a concubine, she could not protest against this arrangement, she could only sit on the sedan chair and enter the fifth prince residence.

But no one thought Ye Zhilin delicate temperate would somehow greatly simulated the vicious Xuanyuan Qing. He killed her on the spot. Three days late, Ye Zhilin opened her eyes but her whole personality changed.

Yes, the original Ye Zhilin died, the soul currently residing in her body was from a person of another time.

This person crossed overworlds.

So this time Ye Zhilin has officially turned into the female lead, she used her knowledge and experience gained from her original worlds workplace to achieve the love of Xuanyuan Qing. In the end, she received Xuanyuan Qing’s heart.

Only until now did Xuanyuan Qing tell Ye Zhilin that he was deprived of any sickness, those years he continuously schemed to bid enough power to achieve the throne, that so-called ‘serve illness’ was just a play between him and the Priest, he wanted to pull the Ye Household to his side, unexpectedly they used a subst.i.tute bride but because of this ‘marriage’ Xuanyuan Qing was able to meet Ye Zhilin.

Afterwards, Xuanyuan Qing and Ye Zhilin together plotted to achieve the throne and finally won success. However, the Ye Family had already allied with the third prince, afterwards the third prince failed to archive the throne, the whole Household got executed. In the end, Xuanyuan Qing became Emperor and Ye Zhilin naturally became Empress, mother of the world.

Yes, the original storyline was like this.

But in fact, before Ye Zhihua pa.s.sed she was visited by Ye Zhilin and informed that she was a soul transmigrated over and the original Ye Zhilin had long died.

“So do not talk to me about blood relation, your sister has already been killed by you.”

Ye Zhihua was beheaded filled with horror, regret and endless remorse. Her heart was unsettled and full of resentment after being beheaded because of this she got reborn!

To talk, Ye Zhihua was actually an extraordinary genius. She was born in the Xia Dynasty, she was talented and praised by many. The reason she did not agree to be the bride of Xuanyuan Qing was not because of his low status but because Ye Zhihua already had a sweetheart.

That year she swapped in her sister to be the bride, the first reason was that she didn’t want to give up on her sweetheart and second because she really thought this plan was a win-win situation, to the parents, to the family, to herself and her sister.

Who knew that her true sister died by the hands of Xuanyuan Qing on their bridal night? And the self-proclaimed girl did not only occupy her younger sisters body but also worked together with Xuanyuan Qing, not only did she kill her beloved but also killed the whole Ye Household.

Ye Zhihua regrets, she was not willing.

Thus, she was born again.

Ye Zhihua went back in time, one month had already pa.s.sed since Ye Zhilin had already been married to the fifth prince, now the original Ye Zhilin had already pa.s.sed.

Ye Zhihua knew that her younger sister body was occupied by a transmigrated girl, she has lived through one life already and was known as a talented lady, she calmed down and recalled everything that happened. Ye Zhihua started her path of counterattacks.

The first thing she wanted to do was to confess to the third prince, Xuanyuan Rui. This man was the one she loved in her past life but never dared to confess, Imperial Censor Ye because of Ye Zhihua stood on Xuanyuan Rui side.

That being said, Xuanyuan Rui was ranked as number one successor. His IQ was very high. He was also very handsome with high EQ as well among the princes because of this he was supported the most and he is also the person most supported to be crown prince.

Ye Zhihua believes that with the help of her Xuanyuan Rui would definitely be able to win against Xuanyuan Qing.

The battle officially began after Ye Zhihua married into Xuanyuan Rui household.

The final outcome between these two parties was, of course, Ye Zhihua who had been given a second chance succeed.

Currently, Xuanyuan Qing ‘tricks and plot’ had been discovered, and Ye Zhilin had been labelled ‘enchantress’, these two would be executed within an hour.

Su Wan thought that if she did not come to do this task, then the world would have a perfect ending.

Unfortunately, she had already arrived.

“Ke, ke, ke.”

From behind layers upon layers of bedcurtains sounded out the piecing cough of a young woman.

Hearing the coughing sounds, a maid clothed in green pulled open the curtains, worriedly questioned: “Princess, lady, are you awake?”

“Un.”

Weakly Su Wan lifted her eyes up to look at the maid in front.

The maid’s name is Lu Zhu, she was the trusted friend of the original host and at present was the only person who the original host was happy with.
