Fang Ruotang, a frail and unremarkable girl from the Prime Minister’s household,
one day found herself pestered by a tiny, cutesy creature called the Mirror of Reversal—
and it star...
"I'll tell you a secret: Yu Sheng and Big Sister are destined to be together. Don't be fooled by his unremarkable status in this life; he is a celestial being who descended to earth to experience a love tribulation, and he is extremely noble."
[Fang Ruotang, what are you doing? You just blurted out Yu Sheng's identity to your aunt like that? Didn't I tell you not to interfere in an immortal's tribulation?]
I didn't get involved; I was just saying.
Given such a great opportunity, even if she were stupid, she would know to help her older sister get it into her bowl.
[My God! You told your aunt, and you're not considered interfering?]
Even my aunt might not believe it.
You'd better pray your aunt doesn't believe it, otherwise it might harm your older sister.
How to say it?
At this moment, Little Mirror wished she could turn into a human, stand in front of Fang Ruotang, and keep rolling her eyes at her.
"Are you stupid?! He's an immortal who returned to his original form after his tribulation. How could he not see through your schemes? Even if he has a good relationship with your eldest sister in this life, he might not go looking for her and bring her to the upper realm."
【What should I do?】Fang Ruotang was extremely nervous because it concerned Fang Shengtang's future.
Cui stood by, barely daring to breathe, afraid of disturbing Fang Ruotang.
[Please believe me, okay? I come from the upper realm and have lived for countless years. In my spare time, I enjoy watching the grudges and love affairs of gods and demons. It's not uncommon for immortals to descend to the mortal realm to undergo tribulations. Demons or lesser immortals would find magical treasures and descend to ambush them. In such situations, anyone with a shred of courage wouldn't linger. They would return to the upper realm and not fight back, all out of consideration for the bonds they had formed in their mortal lives.]
"So what do we do now? I've already told everyone. Do you have any treasure that can erase my aunt's memory?"
Cui: ...
There's absolutely no need for that.
She could fake self-harm and accidentally injure her brain, without actually losing all her memories. She had many beautiful memories from the past that she couldn't bear to lose.
[Alright, alright, what can be done now that it's already been said? Fortunately, there's a successful precedent. The little princess of the fox clan fell in love with the God of War from the upper realm. Knowing that the fox clan was no match for him, she later learned that the God of War was going to descend to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation. Using the fox clan's most precious treasure, she persuaded several elders in her clan to exhaust their cultivation to open a passage. She followed the God of War for seven lifetimes, entangled with him for seven lifetimes, before finally winning his heart.]
[Having endured seven lifetimes, following the same path through seven lifetimes, even a fool would know something's wrong. This doesn't match what you just said. The God of War was betrayed, but he didn't seem to care, did he?]
[Because the fox princess was cunning, even though she had her eye on the God of War, she always managed to make him unable to resist her in the mortal realm. The God of War, having never experienced anything like this before, eventually gave up and accepted his fate. From then on, the fox clan also rose to prominence.]
Fang Ruotang was confused, but Cui understood what she meant. She thought about it thoughtfully and made a decision in her heart.
From then on, Fang Shengtang was forced to learn all sorts of "green tea" skills and embarked on the path of seducing beautiful women.
"Of course your aunt believes you, but we are just ordinary people living in this mortal world. We still have to consider the opinions of the world. Besides, your eldest sister is already engaged, and Prince Rong is an excellent person."
"That's true."
Fang Ruotang had Xiao Jingzi secretly investigate and found that Rong Shizi had no bad habits, and that she could be happy and carefree if she married him.
After all, in the Rong Prince's Mansion, only the old prince is still alive. Once Fang Shengtang marries into the family, she can take charge of the household. Without a difficult mother-in-law, her life won't be bad.
"Alright, let your older sister figure things out herself. Don't tire out our little Ruoruo." Cui patted Fang Ruotang's hand, relieved to have gotten rid of her.
Just as the eldest sister's matter was being settled, a little later, the third sister's matter came up again, because her husband, Xie Jinyan, came to pick her up.
Fang Ruotang, taking advantage of her favored status, stood right next to the two of them, not only preventing them from whispering to each other, but also silently thanking Jin Yan in her heart.
Is there really no other immortal who has undergone this tribulation?
【No.】
[What a pity. If only we had that option, we could have arranged for my third sister to divorce her husband and marry an immortal undergoing tribulation. After this life ends, she could have been taken to the upper realm as well.]
Little Mirror: ...
So you're going to take all the good things in the world by yourself?
[No, my third sister can't go to the Upper Realm, what will happen to her? Won't she grow old and die? I don't want to, boohoo...]
Fang Ruotang suddenly felt a roar in her heart.
Xie Jinyan, whose face had just darkened, was instantly at a loss for words. Knowing how much his wife doted on this younger sister, he dared not get angry and could only look at Fang Shutang with a wronged expression, hoping that she would treat him as she had always done.
Unfortunately, he never won against Fang Ruotang.
"What's wrong? Why do you look like you're about to cry?" Fang Shutang immediately pulled Fang Ruotang into her arms and gently patted her back.
"Alright, are you worried that your sister isn't doing well? I promise you, I'll live a good life, okay?" Fang Shutang subtly changed the subject.
Xie Jinyan picked up the slightly broken little heart and immediately cooperated with his wife to promise, "Sixth sister, I promise you that I will definitely treat your sister well. If I do anything wrong, you can hit or scold me as you please, I will let you do as you please."
Fang Ruotang sniffed twice and said with a hint of disgust, "You can't even handle your mother. She keeps bullying my sister, and you don't do anything about it."
Xie Jinyan's expression stiffened slightly, and he fell silent.
Fang Shutang finally felt sorry for him, but she only comforted him with her eyes and continued to hug Fang Ruotang and coax her.
"Don't talk nonsense. As long as your brother-in-law is at home, I've never suffered any grievances. He can't choose his parents either. Don't overthink it. Apart from my mother-in-law, everyone else in the Xie family treats me very well, especially my husband."
Xie Jinyan forced a smile.
The sister-in-law is right: he can't control his mother.
"It's disgusting to see my sister suffer because of your mother." Fang Ruotang spoke bluntly. Fang Shutang had always spoiled her, but this time, she unusually frowned and addressed her by her full name.
"Fang Ruotang, apologize to your brother-in-law."
"Hmph, I didn't say anything wrong."
Fang Ruotang stood up straight, but her eyes secretly glanced at Fang Shutang. Seeing that her face was pale, she felt both sorry for her and angry, thinking that her sister was not as kind to her as before.
[Don't say that. Your sister and brother-in-law have a very good relationship. In the original timeline, the Heavenly Dao failed to evolve, and the world's origin was plundered by other smaller worlds. In addition to countless natural and man-made disasters, there was also an invasion of demonic beasts from other planes. Your brother-in-law was torn to pieces by the demonic beasts while protecting your sister as they escaped.]
Fang Ruotang burst into tears, wailing with her eyes closed, "Brother-in-law, you're so weak! But you're so pitiful! Waaah..."
The couple's hearts fluttered, they looked at each other, their eyes just beginning to redden, and before the atmosphere could fully develop, Fang Ruotang interrupted them.
The two were both amused and exasperated, frantically trying to comfort Fang Ruotang.
As Fang Ruotang cried and wailed, she didn't forget to reach out to the little mirror in her heart.
Give me two Marrow Cleansing Pills, immediately.
Little Mirror: ...
I really owe you something.
