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
Author's point of view...When the banquet was in progress, a maid of Concubine Yang rushed in a hurry toward her lady."My lady it's all done" she whispered into YangLin's ears, "Did you make any mistakes?" YangLi asked and that maid nodded, she took out a bunch of silver coins and handed them over to her.A crooked and satisfying smile tugged on her face, the other Concubines asked her why she was smiling, "No nothing, my fool maid was telling me that she had seen a ghost in the cold palace....! How funny...!" she said casually and others frowned.Though it might not be something serious, all of them believe in such trivial matters, "Saw a ghost...!" "Are you serious..?" They all looked so much interested, "Oh...! It was just a rumor, why would you panic?" YangLi wanted to make it a big issue so that her plan works smoothly.As the other ladies were talking about it, she got the best timing to play her card."How about we go and check it out ourselves? Would you ladies dare to
Xicheng's point of view...I heard some voices coming from, XiLiang's room. It raised a concern in me, I know that he has been showing a different kind of interest in Luli lately but it shouldn't be this way.I heard him calling the name Yanshu, wasn't that the dancer he brought here yesterday?No...no, he called her by a different name, then who is with him now?I was about to step in but Azhang came out in a hurry, he looked panicked when he saw me."What happened, Azhang, why are you panicked, is XiLiang alright?" I asked striding towards the room, he unknowingly extended his arm, stopping me from entering the room."Absurd...!" as I roared, he instantly jerked down on his knees."Your Highness, please forgive me, I just don't want you to see, My Lord like this" his words jolted me, what does that mean?"What do you mean? move aside...!" I yelled enhancing my steps further. Though reluctantly, he stepped aside.As I went in I saw XiLiang was sitting on the floor and leaning half on
Xi Cheng's point of view..."Bring some cold water as fast as possible," I commanded the palace maids the second I stepped into my palace gate, "Yes, my lord" They left in a hurry, and I turned to Yifeng who was about to set off to take his punishment."Ask for the antidote for the Desiring poison" I demanded and he left accepting the order, "Yes, my lord" For instance, we were inside my room, I put her down on the bed to get the water tub with cold water arranged soon, but she held me tightly."Luli...!" I caressed her cheeks with my hand and patted her to comfort. "Just bear with it, it will be done soon" I never experienced this kind of poison but heard a lot about it. This kind of poison is made to force someone into accepting sexual desires, it had been used in brothels to trick visitors but in a very less quantity but I also heard that if used in heavy quantities it can be dangerous for the sufferer.Based on what I just experienced the amount they used in that fragrance for
Shelley's point of view...My whole body was crashing in pain as if I was crushed by a truck. Every inch of my skin was drenched in sweat.I got up with my eyes still blurry and my head throbbing. What the hell is going on?I jolted into a sitting position holding my head in my hands. As I rolled my gaze to see the surroundings, I was still in the same room I used to be in, it was Xicheng's bedroom but I was alone there.My eyes fell on the floor where I found some clothes, spreading in a manner that someone was desperate to tear them off and throw them apart, I slide the curtain and stared at them for a while bluntly only to notice that it was the same dress that I had been wearing yesterday. A cold sweat cascaded down my spine as I felt my hot blood curling up on my cheeks.Something was not right...!It shocked me to the core, then I hesitatingly shifted my eyes, down to examine my body. I felt it hard to breathe as I found the thing I feared most, I was naked, with not even a si
Author's point of view...The grand hall of the palace was adorned with flickering candlelight, casting a warm, golden glow upon the regal surroundings. King Xicheng stood near the window, gazing out at the moonlit courtyard, a sense of longing evident in his eyes. His yearning proved one thing very clearly she was his love of life, the one girl he could die for. But it was a bit late for him to understand it. He thought it was just his lust for that woman but so late did he realize that she was his life. Queen Luli had been avoiding him for more than a week now, her enchanting beauty and those flashes of their love that night, were haunting him so that he couldn't sleep after that day and couldn't concentrate on any of his work. Though he has a strong body, the excessive intake of desired poison affected his vitals because he passed his spiritual energy into Luli's body that night to save her and got hurt because of that and in the end, he even spit out blood due to that effect. H
Author's point of view.The next day, early in the morning, Xicheng was standing at the palace doors with all the arrangements done before hands waiting for his beloved Queen to come.As Luli was on her way to the sedan chair waiting for her at the entrance, one of the maids from Empress Dowager came to meet her with some things in her hands."What is this nanny, Zing Bai?" Luli knows very well that her Aunt was a mean woman, even a gift from her aunt might hold a deep infidelity.With a grin spread across her face, the maid handed over the box she had been holding in her hands.As Luli took it the maid left without any more words about that thing.In confusion, Luli opened the box to have a look. Her eyes flung open and her teeth gritted.The box contains a small rugged dress with blood stains and a letter alongside.That was Luli's little brother's dress and his letter to her. Luli hesitantly took the letter and read it."Sister I am doing fine here, please don't listen to the crab
Luli's point of view...I am filled with a sense of joy and wonder as my visit to the enchanting outskirts near the temple but what added something more to it was being with him, the one I loved. From the moment we arrived, it was as if we had stepped into a realm of tranquility and serenity.Such pure and calming air, fresh with the fragrance of nature. I couldn't help but admire every second I spent here.The journey began with a scenic drive through winding roads, surrounded by lush greenery and blossoming flowers. The chariot that was carrying us was a beautiful one that Xicheng arranged for me. Allowing the fresh air which carried a sweet fragrance that seemed to invigorate our spirits. As we approached the temple, its majestic spires reached toward the heavens, casting a sense of awe upon us.Stepping out of the chariot, I was astonished when we were greeted by the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant sound of bells chiming in the temple. The atmosphere was imbued with a
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
