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
As I walked through the halls, the sounds of raised voices and clashing opinions grew louder. The palace was in a state of turmoil, with all those stupid ladies of Xicheng, his concubines, and courtiers engaging in heated debates and criticisms that echoed through the corridors. Whispers of dissent and disapproval filled the air, surprisingly directed toward me, the newly empowered queen.I heard my name echoed among them which grabbed my attention. At first, I was going to ignore them but when I heard their shouts, I couldn't dodge them.Confusion washed over me as I tried to comprehend the reasons behind such chaos. "She isn't a Queen anymore" I heard this phrase coming from them. It was surely someone unfamiliar who passed the comment just now.Talking about the queen behind her back, they do have guts.All six of the ladies are present on the spot, out of thr seven he ever wedded. I eldest one died of poison long ago.I could see two new faces among those other familiar faces.
Author's point of view..."Oh...! How about we bet on something?" Yinlou's crooked mind fixed on something to get Luli down.Their exchange reached a fever pitch, each word a verbal weapon in their battle for dominance. "Well, I won't mind it either" Luli freely accepted the challenge, and replied confidently, "What do you want to bet on?" asked Luli looking straight into her eyes, her spirit unwavering."You said you aren't temporary, right?" She walked in a circle around Luli, "How about we bet on Lord's favor?" she added, her eyes sparkling as those words rolled out of her mouth. She was sure that she could easily have Xicheng's favor. Luli kept her calm all this time.Standing up and brushing her dress for the creases, Luli carelessly let out."Do whatever you want...!" A fierce glow beamed in Yinlou's eyes, "Sure, so let's see to who's palace lord visits tonight." Luli thought for a while, her forehead creased then a chuckle left her lips, taking out a warm breath, she reto
Author's point of view...News of the chaos within the palace had reached the ears of the Empress Dowager, a formidable presence whose influence reverberated throughout the kingdom. She was known for her shrewdness and unwavering control over the affairs of the court. The realization that Queen Luli possessed the sacred Phoenix seal was a dangerous revelation, one that threatened to disrupt the delicate balance of power."Your Highness, Empress Dowager is here....!"Word of the Empress Dowager's arrival spread like wildfire, sending ripples of unease through the palace corridors. As her entourage made their way toward the queen's chambers, whispers of her formidable reputation filled the air. Her presence alone demanded respect, and her knowledge of the seal brought a sense of foreboding.Queen Luli stood at the center of the room, her posture straight and her expression composed, though her heart raced with trepidation. The door swung open, and the Empress Dowager entered, accompa
Author's point of view...Xicheng was brutally injured but the news of his injury had to be kept a secret from everyone as his enemies might think it was their turn.Luli came up with an idea for this, she took Xicheng along with her to the courtyard where the ancestral temple that they visited was.They gave the reason of offering prayers to the ancestors but behind the scene, they were here to heal Xicheng in secret.Staying in that peaceful place, those greeneries and that freshness, Xicheng was completely healed within a month.But something was going on behind their backs.The Empress Dowager, now fully aware that she can't control Luli, joins hands with the crooked Prime Minister to rebel. It was her only option as Xicheng the biggest eye sore for her was weak.If she can't control the throne, there was only one thing she could think of.She sold out the information about Xicheng's injury to the prime minister and from him, that thing spread across the kingdom.They conspired ag
Author's point of view...As the days went by, Luli noticed a growing tension among the concubines in the palace. They started fighting with each other every now and then.There was an undercurrent of jealousy and resentment, fueled by their desire for power and influence as Xicheng completely stopped going to them and gave complete control of the palace to Luli.But this became something troublesome for Luli. Jealous women are more dangerous than any wild lioness. Whenever Luli walks in her garden, she became an eyesore for those ladies. They greet her with fear but stare at her with hatred.Now that the situation turned like that, Luli understood that maintaining harmony among the concubines was crucial for the stability of the kingdom, as none of them was from a normal family and she was determined to address this issue.One morning, Aali came running to her with a piece of news from the internal affairs of the harem, that two of the concubines are fighting over something. As Lu
Author's point of view...Despite spreading rumors, and making a fuss about her death, when Ahmei did not get any kind of attention from the king, she decided to go along with the plan which she had plotted.In the morning she sent her servant to create a drama to call Xicheng, but he ignored her completely, so that evening she planned to march into the court with a bottle of blue liquid in her hands, claiming it to be the strongest poison Queen Luli sent for her, to fake her death. The palace was filled with tension. The other concubines and courtiers except for Queen Luli, were gathered as they all received a letter requesting their presence in the court here, unaware of AhMei's true intentions. It was after sunset, the court was filled with the bustling and chirping of the courtiers, when she entered the grand hall, clutching that vial of liquid and declaring her intentions to drink it as a final act of defiance against Queen Luli."Oh...so it was true that she was going to end 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
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
