Everyone thought the Crown Prince treated the original owner very well, but only the original owner knew that the Crown Prince never touched her. His kindness to her was just to make up for his debt, since she was going to sacrifice her whole life.
Because of Mi Hang's actions, news spread quickly that the Crown Prince doted on the daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe.
The Cui family of Qinghe has always been known for their literary talent and integrity, and has always been synonymous with indifference to fame and fortune, but not all members of the Cui family are like this.
Cui Yiran's identity was that of an orphan from a collateral branch of the family. Such an identity was easy to arrange because although the Cui family was based in Qinghe, there were people from the Cui family in various places over the years. It was easy to find someone who had died to replace the original owner. Therefore, the people of the Cui family all thought that the original owner was really a collateral branch girl who had suddenly risen to prominence.
Cui Shuying was a legitimate daughter of the Cui family. She had always admired the empresses who had come from the Cui family and were able to rule the world. She also longed to have the most prestigious position in the world.
Cui Shuying accompanied her brother, who was taking the imperial examination, to the capital. Under the guise of visiting her sister, she frequently visited the Crown Prince's residence. Although the original owner of this body was displeased, there was nothing she could do. She couldn't very well drive away her cousins, as that would expose her identity.
Once, Mi Hang fell into the trap of another prince and accidentally took an aphrodisiac. With sheer willpower, Mi Hang returned to his residence and happened to meet Cui Shuying coming out of the backyard. Mi Hang was in a daze, and Cui Shuying half-heartedly went along with it, so the two of them ended up sleeping together.
Mi Hang was very upset when he woke up the next day, but since the deed was done, he would not shirk his responsibility, so he married Cui Shuying as his principal wife.
Although the original owner was very sad, she had no right to say anything.
Mi Hang treated Cui Shuying and the original owner of the body equally well, but because Cui Shuying was the principal wife, the Crown Prince's residence was managed by Cui Shuying. The original owner suffered a lot at Cui Shuying's hands, but because of her cold nature, she usually just endured it.
The emperor's health deteriorated, and after a struggle with other princes, the crown prince ascended the throne.
After Mi Hang became emperor, his women were naturally all granted titles. Cui Shuying became empress, the original owner of the body was a concubine, and many daughters of ministers also entered the harem.
Mi Hang was not a womanizer and mostly ignored the harem, leaving it all to the Empress. Cui Shuying had no affection for the original owner of the body. She felt humiliated when she thought about how she had to bow to the original owner before she married into the Crown Prince's household, so she targeted the original owner in every way.
After probing for a while and finding out that Mi Hang would not interfere in the affairs of the harem, Cui Shuying became even more unscrupulous. In the end, she even framed the original owner for having an affair with a guard and ordered her to die with a cup of poisoned wine.
The original owner never blamed Mi Hang for his heartlessness until her death, probably because Mi Hang didn't like anyone, so the original owner didn't think that Mi Hang had betrayed her feelings, especially since Mi Hang had no idea that she liked him.
The original owner's biggest regret before his death was that he couldn't let Mi Hang know his feelings for him, and he died with resentment in his heart.
"Knock knock knock".
The knocking on the door startled Han Ling from her thoughts.
Han Lingxi remembered that she had just closed the door, and knew that Liu Zi, who had gone to get the medicine, must have returned.
Han Lingxi went to open the door and saw Liu Zi standing outside with medicine in his hand.
"Thanks."
Han Lingxi formally said thank you, not only for Ying Liu getting her the medicine, but also for everything Ying Liu had done for her in her previous life. Ying Liu must have liked the original owner in her previous life, and ultimately died for her.
