She could not marry the princess because of the vast difference in their social statuses.
She didn't want anything, she just wanted to marry him and be his wife.
But he deceived her, extracting many valuable secrets from her words, and even forged her handwritten letter to trick her into opening the city gates. Together with an elite force from Yan, they launched a surprise attack on the capital of Wei.
The King of Wei died in this upheaval, and the State of Wei became a vassal state of Yan. The foolish and guilty princess who had harmed the entire country died at the hands of the man she loved.
"You were never the one I loved." These were the words that once flowed with countless sweet nothings, but in the end, they were uttered as a cold, detached statement.
She was just a foolish idiot on his path of trying to gain credit for her while wanting to be with another woman forever.
Of course, after Shen Wangshu transmigrated into the book, she was no longer the foolish princess who naively believed in false affections and even betrayed her own country for love without reason or responsibility.
Since she was born a princess, she had the responsibility to protect the country and its people.
The more you enjoy, the greater your responsibilities become.
Compared to the nation and its people, personal love is far too insignificant.
However, since the prince of Yan Kingdom had delivered himself to her doorstep, it would be a waste of a golden opportunity if she didn't seize the opportunity.
After she devised this plan, although the Yan state was not severely weakened, it was frightened and retreated. It was then pursued by the Wei army for thousands of miles and almost reached its capital. The Yan state had no choice but to sign a treaty with Wei under duress, and Wei maintained peace for the next thirty years.
She killed the prince of Yan and returned the maidservant who had been the main reason he had risked his life to come to Wei—the one who had only said "She's finally dead" with a sense of relief when the young man killed the princess.
Because of her, the King of Yan lost his son. Who knows what will happen to that woman in the end?
She only knew that she had made great contributions, and as a princess, she could not shake the prestige of the King of Wei and was not subject to the emperor's suspicion. From then until her death, she was one of the most powerful women in Wei.
She was buried in the imperial mausoleum with the title of Grand Princess Zhenguo.
However, perhaps because her act of stabbing the Yan prince to death was too ruthless, from then on, no man dared to propose marriage to her.
But so what?
She lived a happy and carefree life, and that's enough.
Shen Wangshu looked back with satisfaction on her decades of wealth and power, her absolute authority, before leisurely lying down. She looked up at the countless books above her, which were colliding and flying around in a chaotic manner for a while. Then, a book suddenly flew towards her and danced above her head.
Shen Wangshu was very familiar with this scene. She habitually reached out and flipped through the book with its faint glow. Then she sighed softly, rubbed her temples with a troubled expression, and tossed the book back onto her head, watching it seem to linger and rub against her fingers.
Books also have a spirit.
"I understand," she said softly, looking at the book as if she were reluctant to part with it.
As if it had received her promise, the book happily flew back to the top of its head.
It seems that even if she disrupts the trajectory of the book and causes it to be completely annihilated in this world, it is a happy thing for it.
Shen Wangshu didn't understand what this space was, but she seemed to be infected by the joy and closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she heard the screams of women around her, along with the heavy scent of rouge and face powder. A slight tremor ran through her as she sensed soft, fragrant women surrounding her, shrieking and jostling.
She opened her eyes and saw that she was in a magnificent and luxurious palace, filled with glittering jewels and silks. It seemed to be a banquet, but the scene was in chaos, with several people dressed in black, whose faces were obscured, wielding long swords and wreaking havoc.
The ground was littered with overturned tables and chairs, and the food and drinks were muddy. She was jostled around by several pale-faced girls, each seemingly wanting to hide behind the other as if it would be safer.
Outside the palace, a group of silver-armored guards were struggling to break in, but were stopped by several men in black.
Inside the hall, a tall, handsome young man in fine clothes, wearing a jade belt and a silver crown, was fighting with the men in black. He seemed to be highly skilled in martial arts; with a flash of silver light from his long sword, the men in black fell to the ground.
The remaining men in black didn't even glance at the girls. One of them drew his sword and rushed towards an elderly noblewoman in palace attire who remained unmoved even in the midst of the chaos and impending crisis.
"Kill the Empress Dowager!" he shouted.
In a flash, Shen Wangshu saw the young man in fine clothes change his expression drastically. Ignoring the men in black in front of him, he turned and pounced on the Empress Dowager, using his body to protect her completely.
Shen Wangshu was not far away. She only saw the young man's handsome and dazzling face. Then she glanced at the guards who rushed into the hall. She was pondering in her heart when she felt as if a pair of trembling hands reached out from behind and pushed her hard on the back!
She staggered forward a few steps before regaining her footing, but seeing the Empress Dowager not far away, she lowered her eyes, slightly turned her feet, and lunged towards the Empress Dowager.
A cold sword blade plunged into her lower abdomen.
She clutched her injured abdomen, fell backward into the arms of the young man whose eyes widened in shock, and let out a sneer.
It's truly a cycle of cause and effect.
He just stabbed someone in the back...
This time, it was her turn to get stabbed.
