The original owner was named Chu Yuan. She was born into a family where her father was a minor official who was a county magistrate. The family was harmonious and her parents were loving. There were no major upheavals in her life.
Unfortunately, she married a man who was far too successful—Song Tangyin. Now he is a pillar of the Liang Dynasty and one of the candidates for the future prime minister.
When he was poor and destitute and passed through Fuping County, he was kindly given silver and clothes by the original owner of Chu Yuan. No one expected that he would have such good fortune.
Even more unexpectedly, he fell in love with the original owner at first sight, and the first thing he did after passing the imperial examination with top honors was to ask someone to go to the Chu family in Fuping County to propose marriage.
At this time, the two had been married for almost five years.
Seeing her husband's career advance year by year, Chu Yuan's greatest hope was to give him a son or daughter.
Unfortunately, disappointment came one after another.
She always miscarried within two months of getting pregnant. This time, she finally managed to stabilize her pregnancy. Her mother and younger sister came to visit her, but her "naive" younger sister insisted on dragging her to the lotus pond to look at the fish. As a result, she lost her baby again!
Right now, the naive younger sister was crying her heart out, as if she were the one who had lost her child.
[Host, the 'white lotus' sister is not a good person. According to the original world's trajectory, she will continue to harm the original owner's pregnancy until the original owner completely loses the ability to be a mother. She will also drug her brother-in-law and marry him under the pretense of pregnancy, ultimately causing the original owner's death.]
The original plot made Chu Yuan exclaim "Holy crap!" in her mind.
Is this little sister toxic? Are you sure she's their biological daughter?
The system ignored Chu Yuan's pointless question and went straight to the point, stating the original owner's wish:
1. Have children, preferably two sons.
2. Let everyone see the true colors of the wicked sister.
Sure enough, why not take advantage of the freebies? They started with a buy-one-get-one-free offer.
Fortunately, the original owner's fertility was still intact. Although her body had suffered considerable damage from three miscarriages, it was still manageable to make up for it.
The most important thing right now is to get rid of that scheming, naive girl.
"Zhiyue, help me up," Chu Yuan instructed the maid beside her.
Hearing her voice, Chu Ping finally snapped out of her shock. Chu Yuan's words had really made her panic; Chu Yuan had actually told her to die.
Is this still the same older sister who loved and trusted me so much?
Chu Ping even wondered if she was hallucinating because she had cried so hard.
Or is there something different about my sister?
While she was lost in thought, Chu Yuan had already sat up with the pillow behind her and asked her maid Zhi Yue for a small bronze mirror. After seeing her own peerless beauty, Chu Yuan understood everything.
The two sisters, Chu Yuan and Chu Ping, were stunningly beautiful, far surpassing Chu Ping in looks. Chu Yuan was the eldest daughter, kind-hearted, and incredibly lucky, winning the favor of a top scholar husband. Chu Ping, on the other hand, was three years younger than Chu Yuan and far less beautiful, living almost entirely in her sister's shadow.
The worst part is that Chu Ping has somehow fallen for her aloof brother-in-law, Song Tangyin, and has developed feelings for someone she shouldn't have. Everything she says and does is awkward.
However, her family never considered that possibility, and the original owner, Chu Yuan, was blinded by her own perspective, trapped in the inner demon that she was unsuitable for pregnancy.
Little did she know, even this inner demon was planted in her by her younger sister, Chu Ping, through painstaking scheming and subtle influence!
Now that she's traveled through time, everything will be different!
"...What's wrong with you, sister? Why are you looking in the mirror all of a sudden?" Chu Ping was puzzled by Chu Yuan's strange behavior. She subconsciously said, "When you fell into the lotus pond, your face was indeed scratched by the lotus leaves, but it's not serious and won't disfigure you."
If she were as beautiful as her sister Chu Yuan, beautiful enough to make even a highbrow man like her brother-in-law fall for her, she would definitely care a lot about her appearance, rather than being a lump of flesh yet to be born.
As Chu Ping thought this, she couldn't help but clench her slightly plump hands tightly inside her sleeves.
She didn't understand why her brother-in-law still didn't want to take a concubine, since her sister had suffered so many miscarriages and was clearly not suitable for having children.
Song Kangshi, who came from the countryside, did have this idea, but without her brother-in-law's approval, given her mild-mannered nature, it was impossible for her to succeed!
Thinking about it, a hint of resentment unconsciously appeared on Chu Ping's face.
She thought she had hidden it well, but little did she know that Chu Yuan had seen everything.
Chu Yuan pretended not to know anything and flung the bronze mirror away, shouting hoarsely, "If I can't even save a child, what use is this face to me? I might as well be disfigured!"
Chu Ping feigned concern and grabbed her hand, "Sister, please don't say that..."
Before she could finish speaking, with a "smack," Chu Yuan's swung bronze mirror struck Chu Ping directly in the face, and Zhi Yue, who was standing next to her, instinctively cried out "Ah!"
Chu Yuan feigned surprise, looking flustered. "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't mean to. I'm just so heartbroken about losing my child..."
Hmph! You allow her to pretend to push you into the water, but you don't allow yourself to slap her under some pretext?
Chu Yuan felt extremely relieved when she slapped him.
Chu Ping was sobbing uncontrollably, clutching her bruised cheek as if she were about to cry herself to death. She still managed to say, "I don't blame you, sister. You didn't do it on purpose. I know you're upset, and I want to share your pain, as long as you feel better..."
That must be incredibly comfortable! Absolutely incredibly comfortable!
Seeing that it was about time, Chu Yuan turned over and lay down, giving him the order to leave, "I'm tired. Your brother-in-law must have heard the news and is on his way home. I'm too tired to do anything, so you go and greet him for me."
This is undoubtedly the best way to get Chu Ping away right now.
She liked Song Tangyin so much that she wouldn't miss any opportunity to be alone with her. Besides, Song Tangyin must be heartbroken about the miscarriage right now, so Chu Ping wouldn't miss this perfect chance to take advantage of the situation.
