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,
Shelley's point of view...I was so happy that Huahua has recovered from her leg injury and also learned that dance so quickly.It was the same dance I did back then, I just showed her once and she practiced it so well.Simply Awesome...!She was a very good learner, I love to have a disciple like that.As she began her dance, I was enjoying every bit of it, though my legs were patting on their own according to the music, still, I halted myself to enjoy her performance first.Her eyes were stuck on me observing my mood, if I was angry or happy.I smiled with my stare stuck at her displaying my happiness to her and with that, a beautiful smile spread on her face as well. Making her posture and facial expressions more elegant.After complimenting my student's dance for a while, I joined her in the dance. We both did our best and at last, I started adding the western touch to the Chinese opera. I rotated my body balancing it on my toe, it was merely because I know that I have to win this
Author's point of view...Lin Xiofan was Luli's companion from childhood, they were so close that he spoiled her by all the means that he could. He was familiar with all her habits, all her passion. Luli was interested in literature and paintings. It was General Lin who brought papers and ink for her every time she needed them.But this time seeing Luli dancing so efficiently as if a born dancer, Lin Xiofan was more than surprised. He was shocked. How could someone change their passion in just a little period? It hadn't been so long since they were parted, yet he felt her to be another person.Dancing and singing were never her cup of tea, she was always been criticized by her other sisters because of that.Then how did she manage to learn such a high standard of skills now?He wanted to know, he wanted to ask her in person.He wanted his answers, so he followed her but was halted by XiLiang."General Lin, long time no see...!" They both were generals serving the same country but w
Luli's point of view...I was in a hurry to go to the banquet hall when Lin Xiofan bumped into me again. I tripped and was swirled by him and he finally held me to make me stand. He was astonished for a while, his gaze was like mesmerized somewhere in me.I know it is a problem...! I can't help it though.Because how I was looking now can make anyone go crazy. I should consider keeping a low profile from now on. As I found him dumbfounded, I thought it was better to escape from there before he gets his senses back. "Luli...Wait...!" he stopped me holding my hand. I jerked my hand back, what if someone sees that?I already had so many despicable rumors about me thanks to those bitches."Lin Gege, it's inappropriate to hold hands for both of us, please keep a distance," I told him stepping further back."You are asking me to stay back," he said painfully as if I asked his heart out.Argh...!This man is getting on my nerves, why can't he understand that I am married now and that too,
Xicheng's point of view...My heart stopped for a couple of seconds, not because of fear not because of anger, but it might have forgotten that it had to beat normally. This woman is my death, I can't resist her. It was just a dance, and here I am holding my desperate heart in my hands for her.I have seen many dances in my life, famous and elegant dancers from all corners of the world, but what is this magic that this woman is spreading in front of me? making me crazy about her.Why are my eyes reluctant to move away from her, moving is far a term to be used because my eyes refuse even to blink for once.Why was that?I am the king I need to restrain myself from being a laughing stock or being called an obsessed king. I am not a womanizer for sure, I never drool over a woman like this before in my life.But how am I supposed to keep myself calm after seeing her, my heart, my eyes almost every part of me yearns for her touch. I can't explain how much I want to clench her in my grip s
Shelley's point of view...Wow...!I thought only men as an envoy are crazy but this princess is more than anyone else.Take me along...!Seriously...!I was tired after my performance but was more nervous when Xicheng moved toward me.He was peering into my eyes as if hypnotized by them, is he going to kiss me before everyone? Luckily, he dragged me to my place and slid away from my cabin after settling me on the seat.Based on my experience with him, he was completely into the feeling of kissing me yet he controlled himself.That was surprising...!I sat silently after having a cup of drink, soon I felt some discomfort in my stomach and strolled out of the cabin to go to the restroom.A maid from the Xicheng's Palace came running, I was in a hurry so I ignored her and moved away towards the restroom. She stopped me standing before me with her hands spread."My Lady, please listen to me," Her words were a little panicked and she was sweating a lot."What do you want to say?" I aske
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
