In the dead of winter, snowflakes fluttered down.
The snowflakes fell generously on the white stone floor in front of the emperor's sleeping quarters in the palace, piling up to a full foot high.
As soon as Si Jin was teleported over, she found herself kneeling in the snow, her knees aching from the cold.
He propped himself up with one hand, regardless of the occasion, and began to find Xiao Yao to accept the plot.
This is an ancient world. The original owner of this world was named Ning Sijin, the fourth prince of the Dayong Emperor.
He became the top scholar in the imperial examinations at the age of thirteen and entered the Hanlin Academy.
Seventeen marshals led an expedition to the Western Regions.
He's definitely a prodigy.
The change occurred when he turned twenty and was granted his coming-of-age ceremony. He was ordered to marry the Prime Minister's eldest daughter, Nangong Liuer, and make her his princess.
The original owner was a gentleman. Knowing that Nangong Liuer already had someone she loved, he not only had no improper thoughts, but even thought about helping her find the best time to divorce and send her away.
But he didn't know that Nangong Liuer was a transmigrator with her own system.
In Nangong Liuer's system, the Second Prince Ning Sizhen is the chosen one of the plane's destiny and the future heir to the throne.
She, Nangong Liuer, traveled through time and mastered all the amazing modern technologies of ancient times, all for the purpose of becoming the empress.
He needs to seduce Ning Sizhen, the chosen one of destiny, and also bring down Ning Sijin, the major villain of this world.
She simply refused the original owner's request to leave, and pretended to be an innocent and pure white lotus, feigning to please the original owner.
The original owner rarely stayed in the Prince's mansion, so she didn't really understand his thoughts, and her wariness towards her gradually decreased.
But little did he know, this was the beginning of a life filled with setbacks.
The original owner risked his life on the front lines, and Nangong Liuer helped Ning Sizhen plant assassins in the original owner's military camp.
The assassination attempt occurred when the original owner's life hung by a thread. The original owner desperately tried to escape, fell off a cliff, and injured his right leg.
While recuperating at home, he was poisoned again by Nangong Liuer, and his health gradually weakened.
Later on, he coughed every three steps and gasped for breath every five.
He was on the verge of death and had completely lost his eligibility to compete for the position of crown prince.
Therefore, Nangong Liuer began to hide her concern for the original owner and frequently met with Ning Sizhen in secret.
Unfortunately, during their tryst, they bumped into the old emperor, who was traveling incognito outside the palace.
The old emperor rebuked Nangong Liuer for being unchaste and disgracing the royal family, and intended to have her beaten to death.
Nangong Liuer didn't want to die, so she went to beg the original owner of the body to plead for her, considering how long she had taken care of him, and to let her marry Ning Sizhen.
The original owner was unaware that all these things were related to Nangong Liuer. Knowing that he was about to die, and remembering Nangong Liuer's meticulous care, he agreed to kneel before the palace to beg for mercy.
He knelt in the snow for three days and three nights, thus ending his fragile life.
Si Jin's first reaction after receiving the plot was: "Youngest child? Why is he sickly again?"
Xiao Yao: [...]
Was the adult too frustrated in the previous world?
Why do you keep thinking about this?
[You're alright, sir. You were just poisoned in this dimension. You'll be fine after the poison is neutralized!]
Si Jin reluctantly replied with an "Oh".
Just as he was about to say something more, he saw his attendant grab his hand and repeatedly dissuade him.
"Oh dear, Fourth Prince, you can't get up! You can't get up! His Majesty hasn't agreed to let the Princess go yet. If you get up, the Princess will really die!"
Si Jin turned her gaze and looked over.
This is a spy planted by Nangong Liuer next to the original owner.
If he hadn't kept dissuading her, the original owner wouldn't have had to kneel for three days and three nights before losing her life.
Si Jin looked at him, a smile slowly spreading across her lips.
He pushed away the attendant's hand that was supporting him and tightly gripped the attendant's neck with his long, slender fingers.
The voice that came out was gentle, yet it sent chills down one's spine.
"That's perfect. I've been bored lately and wanted to see Nangong Liu'er's blood stain this pale ground."
"It must be very beautiful."
