Wan Ge sat under the peach tree in the East Palace, her hand holding the cup tightening involuntarily.
In this world, she got married, but her husband wasn't a villain. However, after two years of marriage, they hadn't consummated their marriage.
Because the Crown Prince is attracted to men, the servants and guards who accompany him in the Eastern Palace could all be his lovers.
The original owner could be said to have been tricked into marriage by the crown prince. She met the handsome crown prince once at a garden party, and then frequently bumped into him. After several meetings, the crown prince came to propose marriage to her.
The original owner of this body could be considered a noble lady in the capital. Although she wasn't the Empress's preferred daughter-in-law, the Crown Prince was determined to marry her, and her status wasn't unacceptable. Ultimately, the Empress agreed, and thus the Emperor bestowed a marriage upon her.
To outsiders, it was simply a case of the Crown Prince falling in love at first sight with the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and their eventual union being a perfect match.
As a result, on the very first day of their marriage, the original owner discovered that the crown prince was attracted to men.
In that instant, she felt angry at being deceived, but before she could turn around and step out, the Crown Prince warned her that the task he had asked her father-in-law to do a few days ago was not a good one.
If she leaves now, and he accidentally cuts off their supplies, General Jiang and his men could very well lose their lives on the frontier.
If he were to shift the blame onto someone else, given the emperor's favor towards him, the most he would be punished would be confining him to his quarters for a period of time.
Being confined to the Eastern Palace was not considered a punishment for him.
The other party used his father as leverage, and the original owner ultimately had no choice but to comply.
She had originally thought that things would be fine once her father returned from the war, but the Crown Prince did something that made her realize how cruel his methods were, and that she didn't have the power to protect her family.
The Crown Prince could easily kill his family.
So for two years after their marriage, the original owner could only silently endure it, and in front of outsiders, she even had to cover for him.
What appeared to be a loving and devoted relationship to others was, in reality, a life worse than death for the original owner.
Every day, the palace maid saw that the original owner was unsteady on her feet and needed someone to help her walk, so she assumed that the crown prince favored her every night. In fact, when the crown prince was doing that kind of thing with other men, she was punished by kneeling at the door of the outer room.
…
When all the memories of the original owner entered her mind, Wan Ge crushed the cup in her hand.
This prince was utterly unkind to her, except in front of outsiders. Ultimately, because his beloved didn't like the original owner, the prince plotted to kill her entire family.
His sweetheart was quite disgusting. She was originally from a prestigious family in Jinzhong and grew up with the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince had long coveted her, but he genuinely liked her and didn't force her. Instead, he led her step by step into his trap.
But the other party already knew the Crown Prince's feelings and thoughts. He also admired the Crown Prince, but he knew the Crown Prince too well. The easier it was to get him, the less he liked him.
So on the surface, she resisted this matter, as if she liked women, and was both rejecting and conflicted about the Crown Prince's approach.
It was precisely because of this that the Crown Prince became increasingly attentive to him. Their love was intense, yet they were trampling on the corpses of others.
This wasn't the first time Wange had encountered a situation where the male lead's crush was of the same gender as her. However, Wange found their behavior of deceiving women who were married to gay men disgusting.
