Sheng Changling's monologue:
What was I thinking in that final moment?
Sheng Changling felt the turmoil within his body, the excruciating pain, and the tearing sensation as if his soul was about to leave his body. In his mind, however, was the scene of our first meeting.
I harbored rebellious intentions and almost used you as a pawn, nearly making a mistake. Fortunately, it was all in time.
That day, your red dress swayed in the breeze, and you could easily attract everyone's attention just by standing there.
I was naturally among those people.
I still remember, your eyes were like scattered starlight, with a captivating radiance, but when you saw that person, all your coldness turned into tenderness.
The wind that day was extremely cold, gently brushing against your hair. Your long black hair flew like a waterfall, stirring my heart as well.
My heart felt like it had been gently bumped, and I couldn't take my eyes off you.
At that moment, I, who had never known what love was, understood the feeling of being moved for the first time.
only--
Why did you get married so early?
But it doesn't matter, I don't care. I only want you, the fairy in my heart.
That old scoundrel also coveted you. Perhaps it's because people of the same kind have a keen sense of smell, but he easily saw through my thoughts.
The demotion and stripping of titles came with such force that, knowing his time was running out, he decided to rebel.
Seeing him forcibly take you away, seeing you trapped in the palace, I was anxious and worried, but I also had a sliver of hope: if I could rescue you, would I be able to win a sliver of your true affection?
I succeeded.
It went so smoothly, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
I later learned that Sheng Jin had used a Gu worm to save your life. He was so weak that he couldn't care less about my rebellion.
But in the end, I still ended up in that position, didn't I?
When the Empress Dowager entered the palace, I watched you gradually smile at me. I knew you were doing it to protect yourself, but I fell even deeper in love and couldn't extricate myself.
I think that's fine.
Even if it's fake, as long as you're willing to coax me, I'll take it as real.
Sheng Jin was rescued.
I had a vague premonition that their counterattack would be even more fierce, and I was just worried that it might implicate you.
But when I saw Yu'er, I suddenly felt at ease.
They will take good care of you for me.
In the end, despite giving it their all, they were still defeated.
I'm so useless.
Later, I learned something that made me feel even more useless, and that I might as well die sooner.
Your mother poisoned you.
Oh.
I only realized that my mother couldn't tolerate you, and that it was only after everything had settled down.
If I had noticed sooner, if I had been less scheming and hadn't let them into the palace, perhaps—
I hope you'll be alright.
Damn it, this poison is incurable.
How cruel my mother is!
In my final moments, I tried my best to act pitiful, but my mother still wouldn't budge.
This poison really hurts.
I hope you never have to experience such pain.
The past flashed before my eyes like a revolving lantern, finally settling on—
You stood in front of me, trying to protect me. Your slender frame seemed to possess boundless power in my eyes.
I know you care about me, and that's enough.
All the past events have vanished like smoke, it's just a pity that I can't be with you until the end.
I haven't seen what you look like with white hair, nor have I been able to enjoy the snow with you and grow old together.
If I could, I would like to tell you in person that I love you, from the very first moment I saw you.
Xi'er, Xi'er.
Death.
Rong Yun's monologue:
I, Rong Yun, have been intelligent all my life, yet I have come to this end.
The family was destroyed, and nine generations of relatives were wiped out.
Hahahaha.
Fortunately, I ultimately took drastic measures and poisoned their beloved. It's just a pity that the poison didn't take effect immediately, giving them time to recover.
Ling'er is still too foolish. He actually fell in love with a woman and even defied me for her sake.
I couldn't stand her anymore a long time ago.
But why, why do you still torture me?
The moment my own son died in front of me, I told you there was no cure.
Why do you keep peeling my skin and scraping my flesh every day? It hurts so much! Why haven't I died...?
In a daze, I actually saw the young Jiang King slowly walking towards me.
Yun'er, you're wrong.
I was wrong. Where did I go wrong?
Isn't it good to have immense power and be at the height of one's influence for a time?
It just ultimately failed.
From a young age, as the only legitimate daughter in her family, she lived a life that was neither human nor ghost, worse than that of a servant.
My father favored his concubine over his wife, and his illegitimate daughter bullied me. Because she was loved by my father, the servants allowed her to humiliate me.
I tried every means possible, and finally—
She received a sliver of pity from her father, escaped the torment of the servants, and even got the chance to enter the palace.
I knew that was my only chance.
I've long heard that His Highness Prince Jiang is kind-hearted, so surely he'll have pity on a mere woman like me.
Later, His Highness Prince Jiang indeed took pity on me and decided to take care of me, and my father no longer dared to neglect me.
turn out to be--
There are people who are even more powerful than the father.
I was like a trumpet creeper striving to climb, using the support of tall branches to climb step by step, until I became a prince's wife.
The first step in gaining power was to plot the death of his half-sister.
How did she die again?
It's been so long that I can't quite remember.
Oh, unfortunately, he fell victim to the bandits, stumbled into a dilapidated temple, and lost his innocence.
