When Mi Shan pushed open that door, she never expected to see her elder sister and Zhang Jianyue sleeping together.
Zhang Jianyue was still somewhat flustered, hurriedly pulling up her clothes to cover her body, her face flushed.
The elder sister, however, remained calm and composed. She sat up with her back to her and lifted the clothes that had slipped down to her shoulders.
The candlelight flickered, illuminating her alluring silhouette.
Mi Fen turned around, sobbing softly, her long sleeves covering her lips.
"Little sister, your brother Zhang and I only had a few drinks. Who would have thought he would get drunk and pounce on us? I'm just a woman... Now that things have come to this, will you blame us?"
Mi Shan smiled, understanding dawning on her.
My elder sister has also been reborn.
And she knew that entering the palace would only lead to her death.
The emperor was terminally ill and passed away three months later. The whole country mourned. Her elder sister, who had been chosen as a beauty in her previous life, was also buried alive with the other concubines.
In this life, in order to avoid the fate of entering the palace, he hastily snatched her man and pushed her out to her death.
She thought she had found a good husband?
Mi Shan, however, just wanted to laugh.
Others may not know, but she knows all too well that Zhang Jianyue appears to be a bright and upright husband.
Behind the scenes, however, he was a man who sold his wife for personal gain.
At first, she was also deceived by him.
They lived in perfect harmony, always together, and their relationship became a celebrated story among the people of the capital.
Later, her health deteriorated, and she became infertile despite prolonged treatment.
She then discovered that he had been secretly feeding her sleeping pills and contraceptive soup all along.
All this was to send her to the beds of the powerful and wealthy, so that they could defile her and gain fame in return.
Mi Shan will never forget that day when Zhang Jianyue beat her unconscious.
When she woke up, she saw Prince Rui's greedy eyes, straddling her, and doing *that*...
She struggled in shock, trying to escape.
Suddenly, a sharp sword pierced through the back of Prince Rui's heart, penetrating her chest.
The intense pain was excruciating!
She struggled to lift her eyes and saw a profile hidden in the darkness, handsome yet melancholic.
Before I could see the person's face clearly, I heard a commotion.
Someone called out, "Crown Prince!" "Crown Prince!"
She suddenly lost consciousness.
I woke up again.
She had returned to the year she came of age, to the night she and Zhang Jianyue had just gotten engaged.
"Shan'er, please forgive me, it was just an accident!"
Zhang Jianyue instinctively tried to explain to her, but the woman behind her grabbed her arm.
Was it just an accident?
Mi Fen, like a winding, beautiful serpent, playfully climbed onto the man's muscular chest.
"They say people speak the truth when they're drunk, has Zhang Lang forgotten that so quickly?"
"You were just holding her hand tightly, saying that you fell in love with me the moment you saw me upon entering the manor."
"And on this bed, you also said I'm better than Mi Shan, she would never be this close to you."
Zhang Jianyue blushed deeply, aroused by her teasing. He grabbed her playful hand that had slipped inside his clothes and was caressing his chest, and his whole body trembled.
“Miss is right! Mi Fen, you are the woman I love most. From the first moment I saw you, I wanted to possess you madly. Mi Shan... she is naturally no match for you!”
"She was just a concubine's daughter; her mother came from a Japanese pirate village."
Such lowlifes,
"I'm not even good enough to be a servant, how can I compare to you!"
Mi Shan sneered.
See, this is what he really thinks.
What did he say in his past life?
"I have never cared whether you are a legitimate son or a concubine's son, Shan'er. In this life, I only wish to have you. That is enough."
It's nothing more than saying one thing to one person and another to another!
"Sister, aren't you leaving? Are you going to stay and watch Zhang Lang and me have a live sex show?"
Her elder sister looked at her defiantly, her long legs wrapping around the man's waist.
In my past life.
This man named Zhang Jianyue passed the imperial martial arts exam after marriage, rose through the ranks, and was appointed by the emperor as the Grand Commander of the Imperial Guard.
My younger sister was also granted an imperial title.
In an instant, both the glory and the scenery were gone.
And her!
Having been in the palace for less than half a year, the emperor, who was in his fifties, suddenly died!
She was only favored by the emperor once.
They were to be buried alive with the concubines, sealed alive in that cold, dark underground palace, dying a truly tragic death.
Having been given a second chance at life, she refuses to return to the palace.
Mi Shan, this illegitimate daughter who has always lived at her mercy, why does she deserve to marry better than her!
She should be sent to the palace so she can experience what it's like to be buried alive!
A fierce resentment flashed in Mi Fen's eyes. She traced circles on the man's chest with her fingers, her voice sweet and seductive.
"Brother Zhang, I am already yours. Would you be willing to marry me?"
“But I am already engaged, to Shan’er…”
"Hush, my lord, you need not worry about the engagement. I will inform my father, and he will surely handle it properly. As for my sister, she has never been able to outdo me."
Mi Fen pressed her fingers against his lips and smiled gently.
Looking towards the doorway with the air of a victor, I saw that the solitary figure had already quietly departed.
Mi Shan walked alone down the corridor. The night wind lifted her skirt, and the flickering lamplight shone on her, but only an endless chill seeped into her bones.
"Smack!"
It was early in the morning, before dawn.
A crisp slapping sound rang out in the study.
"Shameless!"
Mi Xiuyan, the Vice Minister of Rites, was furious and slapped Mi Fen across the face.
"You, an unmarried girl, have dared to climb into a man's bed and commit such a heinous act!"
"Not to mention that you have already been chosen as a candidate for the imperial concubine and will soon be entering the palace to participate in the selection!"
"You're going to get our whole family killed!"
Mi Fen covered her face and sobbed, glancing at the man beside her out of the corner of her eye.
Zhang Jianyue knelt down with a thud.
"Uncle, it's all my fault! I'm willing to take responsibility and give everything to marry Miss!"
“Zhang Jianyue! I let you stay at my house temporarily because you look honest and your father once did me a favor.”
"I had already arranged for you to marry our second daughter, but who knew you would be so greedy and try to take on my eldest daughter! I've practically let a wolf into the house!"
Mi Xiuyan beat his chest and stamped his feet in frustration.
The First Madam, Qiao Fangyue, nearly had a heart attack upon learning that her daughter had been violated. She clutched her chest, barely suppressing her anger, a cold glint in her eyes.
"Alright! There's no point in saying any more. The most urgent thing is how to explain this to our superiors!"
"His Majesty has given a direct order!"
"We, as your subjects, must each send one daughter to participate in the selection!"
"And now this has happened!"
Qiao gritted her teeth; though unwilling, she had no choice but to utter that method.
"I'm afraid the only option is to let Mi Shan enter the palace in place of my Fen'er!"
Mi Xiuyan's face fell with resentment: "That's the only way!"
Originally, with the beauty and cunning of the eldest daughter, Mi Fen,
If I enter the palace, I will surely gain the emperor's favor in the future!
That would be a golden opportunity to rise to prominence and bring glory to the whole family!
The youngest daughter, Mi Shan, has always been quiet and reserved, and her personality is not particularly likable.
Even if she were given this opportunity, it would probably be useless!
Mrs. Qiao's eyes were filled with disdain as she coldly swept her gaze over the butler:
"Go and invite the Second Miss here!"
