Shelley's point of view...The way he was taking me was so isolated and my experience with this man was also somewhat crappie. That might the reason why a strange kind of feary feeling churned around in my stomach when I entered that place.After a while as that continued, I gave up on my patience and asked him about it."Where are we going?" he stopped with a smirk curling on his face, which made me doubt more.He moved back towards me, and my steps moved backward on their own, "Just this much, I thought you were brave when you just fought back at me," he mocked bending against me,"Is this all you have, I thought you are bold enough to accept the challenge, but you are afraid of a little thing like this?" he added getting back to his normal self."I don't want to play with you" I snorted while turning back but he halted me with his apology."Sorry, I was just kidding, this is the only shortcut way to the ground, so I brought you here," he said standing before me with his hands exte
Shelley's point of view...The bow that XiLiang brought for me was small and cute, with just two feet in width, and had a very strong yet easy-to-use string attached making it so susceptible for me to carry.I was so happy to see it that I started aiming the target holding it in position without an arrow of course.I eagerly looked at Xicheng to show him the bow but when I turned around, I felt the climate here turned very hot, they both were sniffing at each other hideously.Why were they frantic at each other?XiLiang walked near to him, "Brother it was just a common game, you don't have to feel worried about it, we were just playing around" he reasoned but his words were more like smacking,"Oh..! why not count me in?" Xicheng hissed, why do I feel like he was jealous?But for what?"Why not?" answered XiLiang, accepting his challenge.They were still staring at each other completely ignoring me as if I do not exist there."Hey...! Are you both going to play or you are going to st
Shelley's point of view...Xicheng won the first round effortlessly. I don't know what his demand will be.I should have restricted them beforehand not to demand anything abruptly.Shit...!I am a slow wit...!I always end up being trapped...!I hopped on the horse before me, it was selected by that devil lord, a smaller, black one yet so beautiful and strong.I rolled my hand over its back affectionately, it was so soft and so friendly."We have to win friend" I whispered into the ears of my new friend. It whined as an answer.I turned around to see if they are ready but my eyes flung as those dangerously handsome men were hopping on their horses in just one jump, it was a great view to look at anyway.I don't know why but my heart started fluttering when looking at them. I am not a girl to drool over men, just by looking at their milky faces, but I actually like men riding a horse they look so manly when doing that and their charm was like a topping to that. And these two brothers
Xi Cheng's point of view...When I was back from the court, I couldn't find Luli anywhere around. I asked the guards but they knew nothing about her.I was worried that she might be in danger again so I went out myself to find her. As I strolled to the garden in my backyard, the peach puffy flowers in my yard were fallen on the ground, which isn't any odd thing but still, it wasn't any usual thing either.Someone might have rained them deliberately. It can be done by only one man, XiLiang. He loves doing that. I felt strange feeling fogging my mind.I strolled my way toward the backyard door which leads to the cold palace, which was not in use. It was where we send someone to punish. It's isolated and so no one comes here, but those guards told me that they saw Luli walking this way.I saw some footsteps on the ground, with the size of that I can guess that it was her.Why would she enter the cold palace?I was confused for a while but soon I remembered that this place leads to XiLia
Shelley's point of view...I did my best to balance myself but even so, I was about to give up as the lord of devils beside me will not give up. He is hellbound to win.I looked at him with my pleading eyes but there was nothing he showed not even mercy.He was standing still on his toe effortlessly where as I was swallowing my pain every second. XiLiang is a martial arts practitioner as well then he could do this too, yet he decided to let it go and gave up. Such a nice man...!Unlike this Devil lord...!I was busy resenting him but I don't know what happened in just an instance that I was alone standing there.Did I just talk loudly?Can he read minds too?He gave up, and he left the place which means I won. I can't believe I won this round. I was overjoyed that I started dancing raising my hands and swirling my wings around."I won... have you seen it?" I asked Xiliang who was smiling at me. My legs were throbbing in pain and I tripped at once. XiLiang moved to me and grabbed my ha
Shelley's point of view..."Ridiculous...!" roared Xicheng in anger, I felt I was about to jump before them and fight them for justice.How dare they create such vicious rumors about me?Disgusting...!!All the others kneeled before him as he raged, requesting him to cool down, "My lord, please calm down...!" The Empress Dowager was not concerned by his anger she seems to be happy and satisfied.Was that because of me?Miss late entry, Concubine Jin came in, "My lord, it's true that the queen was taken away by the Junior General yesterday night, all my servants whom I sent to help the Queen, bear witness" she confirmed so surely, did she fix her mind to ruin my reputation?Oh...! So those annoying servants who were forcing me to leave with them were from Jinwei...!What was she up to?I am sure she can never mean anything good to me, especially after what happened a few days before.I must thank XiLiang to save me from them."Enough...!" grunted Xicheng, "Where did that rumor rai
Shelley's point of view..."Who is it A'Liang?" Xicheng was more eager than me, of course, he is the best beauty collector ever.Stinky man...!My mind was ticking and my heart was about to burst out of my ribcage. Is he really going to spill my name? XiLiang, you wild fox...!"Phoenix Dancer" he let out that name and I let all the air out of my lungs which I have been holding in."Oh...! So you get the track of that legendary dancer?" Xicheng knows that too...? When did he come to know about me?"Yes, my Lord, I got her, and I would love it if you could witness that heavenly dance, which I admired" Seriously...!He is making it so damn sure, how can I manage to dance before all of them?Is he mad?What should I do?He isn't helping me, he is trapping me...!XiLiang glanced at me before tilting his head, as a smirk was tugging in, mischief was evident.He surely wants to make things difficult for me...!"I wanted to show all the useless crabs in your harem that there are real danc
Authou's point of view..."Are you sure about the news?" YoChin asked the maid standing in front of her with her head bowed."I swear it with my life, my Lady" That maid pounced her head on the floor proving her trueness.A crooked smirk tugged around her beautiful face."Now that bitch, that scrap will show her true colors" YoChin mumbled gritting her teeth, "Just do as I say...!" she commanded that maid and her head maid, who was standing at a corner of the room, holding a small paper bag and they left with a bow, "Yes, My Lady" "You have been so desperate to seduce, my lord, don't you? Let me help you" YoChin muttered under her breath.The next day morning, everyone was ready to witness the dance competition to select the dancer for the banquet.Luli was ready as Mang'er helped her with the makeup and her hair."You look stunning, my Lady" she complimented Luli as she was unable to set off her eyes from her. Luli came out of her room with just a smile to answer her compliment,
The air was filled with an atmosphere of joy and anticipation as the grand hall was adorned with elegant decorations, vibrant flowers, and the soft glow of candlelight. The wedding banquet celebrating the union of Luli and Xicheng was a testament to their enduring love, and everyone from the film set, their friends, and loved ones had gathered to witness this momentous occasion.Luli, adorned in a breathtaking white gown that seemed to radiate with the purity of her heart, walked down the aisle towards Xicheng. She was looking gorgeous more than ever, making the hearts skip a beat for every man present in the ceremony and all the girls felt envy of her beauty.Her eyes were filled with a mix of nervousness and excitement, for this was the culmination of a journey that had tested their love and brought them to the edge of despair.As she reached the altar, Xicheng stood there, his gaze fixed upon her, his eyes filled with an intensity of love that could only be described as eternal.
Xicheng's point of view...As I stood there in the grand hall, surrounded by the glittering chandeliers and the elegant guests, I couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement and nervousness. It was the night of the annual awards ceremony, an event where the most accomplished individuals in our field were recognized and celebrated. I had been looking forward to this night for months, eager to see who would be honored and hoping that I would be among the recipients. But the main reason I was here was that I could see her again.Luli...!No, Her name was Shiely...!But for me, she was my Luli forever.Her doctor advised us to keep a distance from her till she recovers completely. It had been a month that I had seen her face and only I know how terrible my every second was, these days.Generally, I arrive at this kind of premier a little late, but desperation took over me and I was at the venue earlier than expected. After waiting for quite a while, I scanned the room, my heart skipped
Sheily's point of view...I know this is not the right place to burst out but I can't help it anymore. So I instantly walked a little away from that awkward situation as so many crew members surrounded him to congratulate him.I stood at a corner paying my eyes to wipe out the tears before they fell out to embarrass me. I was grabbed back from my chain of thoughts as Aali called my name loudly and I turned my gaze towards the entrance as she made her way back to my side. But what captured my attention was the sight of a familiar figure standing there, looking utterly dashing in a black tuxedo. "XiLiang...!" I muttered recognizing him.No...!Actually, Gu Xichen...!He stood before me, his presence commanding attention in a way that was both striking and surreal. He was a very good friend in my life as Luli, but I don't know what kind of relationship I share with him in this life. I had known XiLiang as a valiant and caring warrior, a partner in the palace's battles. But here he as
Shiley's point of view...The days leading up to my recovery were hard, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I lost everything. But I was also happy with what I gained in this new life. Aali... I mean Suli, told me that they say I lived in my role while acting, but seriously who would have guessed that I really lived in that world?I was nominated for an award...!I couldn't believe my fate for achieving my goal but unknown to me.I had a stage performance as well on that day, with that Phoenix dress that I wore on that day when I performed before everyone at the spring festival. I couldn't help but chuckle as I remember those gazes on me that day.The way to this achievement and the award function was a whirlwind of preparations and emotions. I was struggling, to speculate that it was all true. Aali, true to her word, was by my side every step of the way, guiding me through the intricacies of the event. In the evening he was here with the dresses I needed to wear tomorrow, to che
Shiley's point of view... The revelation hit me like a sudden gust of wind, knocking the breath out of me and leaving me momentarily stunned. Aali's words echoed in my mind, her voice carrying a mixture of excitement and disbelief. She had just disclosed that I had been acting in the very play that had been my reality for so long, the play that had shaped my life, my experiences, and my very sense of self.My mind stirred up as I just thought about it.I was acting...!That was all a play...?But how....!"Zian Chi? Co-star?" I repeated, struggling to comprehend her words, "Are you sure?" The pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place, and I realized everything was clear now. The world I had experienced as Queen Luli was nothing but a play that I had been acting in all this time. So unbelievable but was true.But it was more like a reality to me because I lived in it as my previous life. As Aali's voice filled the room of my mind, I felt a strange mixture of excitement and disbe
Shiley's point of view...I was in a deep dark tunnel, my eyes couldn't see anything my lips couldn't move either."Shiley...!" "Baby...!"I wanted to talk to the one calling me, but 'Shiley...!Who was calling me by that name?Am I, not Luli?I think I was dead again, but still, I can hear someone calling me.Is this my new life?Am I going to be in another world?Many confusions swirled into my mind when I thought about that but every time I feel lost, someone's concerned voice dragged me out of the thoughts.A lady's voice sounded so familiar.Aali...!My eyes fluttered open, the surroundings unfamiliar and sterile. The stark whiteness of the hospital room enveloped me, contrasting sharply with the vivid memories that lingered in my mind. Modern time...!Hospital...!Confusion gripped my heart as I struggled to comprehend my current reality, which felt like a cruel awakening from a beautiful dream.I attempted to move, only to be met with the dull ache of my body and the restrain
Author's point of view..."I will kill him" Xicheng screamed in fury. As Luli and Xicheng dug up about those maids, the fact came to light that those maids were sent here by Wang Haulan, the current king of the Qingbao, and also Luli's brother.It was he who was behind everything from the matter of Luli getting married to Xicheng and the conspiracy of the Empress Dowager, his aunt.XiLiang found the bodies of these maids on the outskirts of the capital city and reported them to his brother but they couldn't find the little boy anywhere except for his clothing signifying that it was indeed their plan to abduct the little Prince.With the new lead in hand, Luli with XiLiang began on a hazardous journey, following the trail that could potentially lead them to the young prince. They traversed treacherous terrains and faced dangers untold, their hearts driven by a mother's love and a warrior's resolve.Luli fell ill during the search so Xicheng and XiLiang insisted Luli take a rest in the
Author's point of view...As these years passed, the kingdom thrived under the loving rule of Xicheng and his loving wife Luli. Their child, the young prince, Xiyang grew up surrounded by the warmth and affection of their parents, as well as the adoration of the people. The royal family became a symbol of unity and prosperity, their presence bringing a sense of stability and harmony to the land. The people loved them and vowed their loyalty to their lives.Every step the young prince took was celebrated with joy and pride. The palace echoed with his laughter, his innocent giggles filling the air and captivating the hearts of all who heard them. Whenever Xiyang was taken out of the palace, all the citizens of their kingdom become his protection as if ready to give their lives for him.Xicheng and Luli reveled in the everyday moments, their child's first words, his first steps, and the unbreakable bond they shared as a family.Luli was overjoyed as she watched her life filled with h
Author's point of view...Days passed after the incident and the dust of the treacherous acts within the palace was now settled.With AhMei's deception exposed and her influence diminished, King Xicheng recognized the need to restore harmony within the palace. He understood that the concubines, once calm and silent, may entangle in a web of power struggles and political games. So to do justice for them, he decided that they deserved a chance at genuine and fulfilling love.In a grand assembly held within the palace, Xicheng called everyone to attend the assembly, and Luli and all the concubines rushed to the court. Addressing all the concubines, Xicheng's voice resonated with compassion and sincerity."Dear Ladies, it is time for us to liberate you from the constraints of the palace and the confines of the marriage bond. You have endured much, and I desire to grant you the freedom to pursue your own paths and find true love."Gasps of shock, astonishment, and gratitude filled the ha
