My best friend and I caught the eye of the celestial princes and were brought into the heavenly palace as their consorts. She became the caged golden canary of the Crown Prince, Rudolf Frost, while I became the stand-in for the lost love of the Second Prince, Mose Frost. As fate would have it, their lost loves were one and the same person. Everyone in the Celestial Realm envied us, two mortal women chosen by celestial princes to live a life of luxury among the gods. But this blissful existence lasted no more than three years before their true love returned, and our good fortune came to an abrupt end. "I'll fake my death first, and then you'll pretend to fall ill and do the same!" whispered my friend, Gabriela Simon. I nodded, and together we staged our deaths to escape back to the mortal realm. When their lost love, Anna Rivera, brought people to expose our deception, the usually calm and collected Rudolf unexpectedly pulled Gabriela into his embrace. Meanwhile, the ruthless Mose imprisoned me in his palace, staying by my side day and night. Little did they know, this performance was one we had been planning for three years.

Blood spilled from my mouth, and I heard Anna's shrill in my ear."Mose, you can't believe her. She's a manipulative witch using you. She never loved you."To her accusations, I clutched Mose's robe, coughing up another mouthful of blood.The faint scent of incense filled my nose, and when Mose wasn't paying attention, I flashed a smile at Anna.Having been confined to the hall, Anna was already agitated. By now, everyone in the Celestial Realm could see she was no longer the glamorous fairy she once was.Bribing the maidservants around her was a simple task. With a little incense, I could easily unsettle her temper.Anna lunged at me again, but Mose struck her away. He looked at Anna, now disfigured, with disgust. "You vicious woman! Colluding demons will land you on the death penalty."As Mose's anx
I was confined to my chambers, forbidden from taking a single step outside.Although Gabriela could move about, she was constantly surrounded by Rudolf's spies.The once-cheerful Gabriela now wore a perpetual frown in Rudolf's presence. Despite his efforts to shower her with the finest things in the world, nothing seemed to lift her spirits.Mose spent his days by my side, as if we were newlyweds again. It wasn't until the Celestial Lord's birthday that Mose finally took me out.Anna had noticeably lost weight, her complexion growing increasingly haggard. It was clear she had realized that she was no longer the center of Mose and Rudolf's world. This realization deepened her sense of crisis.Under stress, people often acted irrationally. Immortals were no exception.When Anna once again attempted to frame us by jumping into the water, Gabriela and I simply watched her with detached amusement.As Anna flailed about, Gabriela let out a derisive laugh. "Anna, even the best tricks g
The guard outside, Stanley Guerrero, rushed in upon hearing the commotion. Seeing Rudolf and Mose, he drew his sword without hesitation.Stanley was a beggar Gabriela and I had found on the street. We took him in, gave him food, and set him to work in the fabric shop.Over a year and a half, he revealed his exceptional martial arts skills. Gabriela and I decided to make him our guard.Stanley furrowed his brows, pointing his sword at Mose and Rudolf. "Who are you? Let go of the lady!"Rudolf scoffed, "A mere mortal is not worthy of knowing our names."Stanley lunged at them. Mose struck him with a single palm, sending him flying. He crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.My heart tightened, and I instinctively cried out, "Stanley!"Mose grabbed my wrist, his voice laced with hidden anger. "You seem to care for him a lot."I shot him a cold glance. "Why wouldn't I? Stanley is my guard, and I naturally care for him."I felt the grip on my wrist tighten, but I g
For a year and a half, I had lived a carefree life of indulgence, but the long-forgotten dream returned to haunt me once more.In the dream, Gabriela and I were still two orphaned girls, drifting from place to place due to the chaos of war until we finally found ourselves in Lotusvale.Gabriela and I had grown up together, not bound by blood but closer than family. I had led her on this harrowing escape until we both collapsed at the entrance of a village.When we awoke, we were taken in by the kind villagers.Our days of peace and happiness stretched on until Gabriela and I turned nineteen. It was then that a gravely injured woman was found in the mountains by one of the village's herb gatherers. This woman was none other than Anna.The villagers spared no effort, using their most precious medicine to bring Anna back from the brink of death. They clothed her, fed her, and showered her with warmth and care.But the repayment she offered was a single, chilling sentence. "How could
I laughed out loud.Mose softened his tone. "Alright, I know you're worried right now, but you can't take it out on innocent people.""Innocent? Do you think she is innocent?" I asked, staring at him.He shifted his gaze, a flicker of guilt in his expression as he remained silent.Anna, sensing the moment, flashed me a triumphant smile before reverting to her feeble demeanor, leaning weakly against Mose's chest.I nodded. "Fine! Don't regret this."When I arrived at the side hall, Rudolf was already there, staring blankly at Gabriela's lifeless body in his arms.As I approached, he asked in a trembling voice, "How could this happen? How could she die? This isn't right. The reports said she was in league with demons. They wouldn't have killed her."I remained expressionless as I stepped forward and pushed him aside, gathering Gabriela into my arms.I snorted, "You were willing to trust outsiders over the wife who stood by you all these years. It's too late for regrets now."Ru
As soon as the words left her mouth, Gabriela suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.I was taken aback, thinking to myself that the drug's effect was indeed potent, but I maintained a façade of grief on my face."Gabriela! Gabriela!" I cried out.The guard quickly settled Gabriela and rushed out to find the imperial physician.However, it took a long time for the guard to return, and there was no one behind him.I frowned. "Where is the physician?"The guard hesitated for a moment. "They are all with Lady Anna. Her maid stopped me from entering, and both princes are accompanying her."I gritted my teeth and rushed out. Anyway, the show must go on....Inside Nebula Palace, Anna leaned weakly against Rudolf, while Mose was expending his magical power to heal her.The maid indeed stopped me, looking down at me with disdain.She said sternly, "Halt! Our lady is inside receiving treatment. No one is allowed to enter."I coldly stared at her and slapped her across th
Late at night, Mose still hadn't returned.Obviously, he was still by the side of Anna, who had fallen into the water and caught a chill.Gabriela climbed over the wall and slipped into my room. She sat beside me, handing me a small box."I've already taken the medicine," she whispered. "It should take effect in the next few days. When I enter a state of feigned death, all you have to do is hold my body and jump into the Reincarnation Well. Then we can both return. As for the demonic energy in the well, don't worry. I acquired this secret medicine that can block its invasion for an hour."She paused, letting out a chuckle. "Does this feel like a lovers' pact to die together?"I rolled my eyes at her and said nothing.Footsteps echoed outside the door. Gabriela stuck out her tongue at me before running out and climbing over the wall to return to her own palace. The next moment, Mose pushed open the door and walked in.He looked at me and asked with a frown, "Who were you talkin
This was the third time this month that Anna had tried to harm me and Gabriela.We stood beside the Spirit Pool in the Celestial Realm, watching as Anna sank deeper and deeper into its waters until only bubbles remained on the surface.Gabriela furrowed her brow and snorted, "Anna, stop pretending."Just then, hurried footsteps approached from behind.I tugged at Gabriela's sleeve, but before I could utter a word, a powerful force shoved me toward the Spirit Pool.I fell in, losing all control over my body. Gabriela's panicked cry echoed in my ears. "Etta!"I struggled to surface, only to see my husband, Mose, leap into the pool without hesitation.But he swam in the opposite direction from me.It wasn't until he had rescued the unconscious Anna from the bottom of the pool and began resuscitating her on the shore that I realized he hadn't spared me a single glance.Water filled my nose, and as I was about to lose consciousness, a force pulled me towards the shore.I heard Gab
