She was born as the legitimate daughter of Beta Henry's wife, enduring hardship for eight years before finally becoming the Luna of the Lycan King. However, fate was cruel as her husband fell in love with her elder sister and stripped her of her Luna position, forcing her son to die! In the cold and lonely prison, she gritted her teeth and drank the poisonous wine to the last drop! She vowed to the heavens that if there were a next life, she would never do good deeds to help others, never enter the palace, and never become a Luna! As the reincarnated daughter of the Prime Minister's residence, she returned as a wicked woman: An evil and malicious eldest sister? Schemes will send you to hell! A deceitful and treacherous elder sister? Cruel tear apart that beautiful facade! A scheming younger sister? Directly throw her into the abyss! Since they didn't let her live in peace, then no one should expect to live in peace! She had intended to distance herself from troubles; the farther, the better. But who would have expected the hearts of men, like a needle at the bottom of the sea, impossible to find or guess? The man who swore to leave her behind now wanted to live and die for her sake. Her lifelong enemy in her previous life secretly admired her for many years. And what was even more unfortunate was being entangled by the most handsome and unrivaled man in the world...
View MoreUnder the canopy of the prison cell, Emma counted six lice in her long hair. After eight years without bathing, she felt as if she were wearing a thick suit of armor, and killing lice became her only way to pass the time.
Twelve years imprisoned in the cell, Emma raised her head and looked into the space. Every time it rained, her feet would ache to the point of madness.She was the biological daughter of Beta Henry, but unfortunately, she wasn't born from the womb of Luna Sandra. Instead, she was taken to a low-status concubine. Moreover, being held in the second month, which was believed to bring disadvantage to parents, her father sent her to distant relatives for upbringing. Unfortunately, even her relatives didn't want to raise a child alone and sent her back to the village to fend for herself. Thus, she, a noble girl from the most powerful family in the Blue Moon pack, had to do household chores and even work in the fields.Like a discarded jewel, she was thrown into the ordinary people. If it weren't for the fact that Felicia, the eldest sister, refused to marry the intended suitor, her father, and Luna Sandra would probably never have remembered her... Felicia and Emma, just hearing their names made it clear who was noble and who was lowly. Returning to Beta Henry's mansion, her heart was filled with joy at the thought that her father finally remembered her. However, she only heard her father happily say to the beautiful and noble eldest sister, Felicia, "Felicia, you don't have to worry anymore. This nobleman will marry you to Alpha Jeffn."Later, she followed her father's wishes and entered the mansion of the Third Prince, wholeheartedly assisting Alpha Jeffn in ascending to the throne as the Lycan King. She even gave birth to his first son, Phil. Eight years passed until Alpha Jeffn succeeded and appointed her as the Queen.Alpha Jeffn had once said that her skin was delicate and her eyebrows were like paintings, making her a top-class beauty. But even so, a top-class beauty was ultimately incomparable to the celestial beauties. Just a glance, and she appeared like mud in a corner, truly hard to look at.What about the future? The future...Every time Emma thought of that day, she wanted to laugh. Laughing at her younger self, fearless even in the face of the heavens and laughing at how far she had distanced herself from that time.She still vividly remembered that night when everyone in the Moon Palace endured excruciating torture right on the spot. It seemed as if they were impatient to end everything or hide everything. They didn't even take them to the punishment chamber, and everyone endured torture in the Moon Palace.The large doors of the Moon Palace were locked, and those subjected to torture had their mouths gagged. In the blink of an eye, the Moon Palace turned into a place of blood and despair. Emma was dragged in front of the Lycan King, Alpha Jeffn.The always deep and gentle eyes of Alpha Jeffn revealed sharpness, coldness, and indifference to the extreme. "You wretched woman, you can even poison your sister." Emma's heart was filled with suffering, but she still said, "I harmed my sister? I have never harmed my sister!"Alpha Jeffn kicked her mercilessly in the chest, causing Emma to cough up blood. She received his gaze full of disgust. "You wretched woman, Felicia had a difficult delivery, and I wasn't in the palace. The palace maids pleaded with you, so why did you lock the Moon Palace and avoid meeting them? You wanted to kill her! If I hadn't returned in time, she would have died not once but twice!"Looking up at Alpha Jeffn before her, he still looked as handsome as ever, as majestic as the sun in the sky. In fact, until now, she still didn't understand what kind of man he was, the man she loved. She didn't know how gentle or indifferent he could be, and she even felt like a joke, as if she was paying the price for her infatuation without realizing that he didn't need her.Emma coldly laughed, "Does the Lycan King only think of his sister and not our son, Phil? Our Phil was struggling with a severe illness on the day your child with Felicia was born. Did I call the doctor to save him or not? Isn't my sister a human being? Now that my sister has successfully given birth, and as soon as our son was born, you bestowed the title of Crown Prince upon him. But my son, Phil, died! The one who met your demands for Phil to become the Crown Prince! Is Alpha Jeffn, not the Lycan King? Why are you still scheming? Why?"Alpha Jeffn's icy face made her heart grow cold, and his indifferent gaze met hers. "I made you the Queen, and you're still not satisfied! You hope for the distant throne of the Crown Prince!"Emma felt blood fill her mouth, her voice like icy water touching shattered ice. "Queen? Yes, I am the Queen. The decree to depose the Queen has long been prepared on your desk, waiting for the birth of your sister's child to seal it! Alpha Jeffn, what did I do wrong? I married you for eight years. How did I treat you?"She gently unbuttoned her outer robe as she spoke, revealing a nasty scar on her chest, pointing to it, and slowly uttering each word. "In the thirty-eighth year of the Emperor, I took a sword for you right in the middle of my chest! In the fortieth year of the Emperor, I knew that the wine the Crown Prince brought was poisoned, so I drank it all for you! In the forty-first year of the Emperor, I knew that the Seventh Prince wanted to kill you, so I rode tirelessly through the night, covering hundreds of miles, just to let you know! When you were away for disaster relief and infected with an epidemic in the forty-second year of the Emperor, I made all the palace maids leave, leaving only me to take care of you tirelessly for forty-eight days! When you ascended the throne, what promises did you make to me? Do you still remember? You said that the day you become the Lycan King, I would still be the Queen! But after that, you fell in love with Felicia, not only making her child the Crown Prince but also wanting to depose me! Alpha Jeffn, you have truly never disappointed me!"Alpha Jeffn maintained a calm expression, his indifference absolute and unnoticed, as if he hadn't seen or heard anything. This indifference is so natural as if it had been present since birth.His complexion squeezed Emma's heart, like a tiny, sharp thorn unexpectedly piercing deeply into her heart, causing her such pain that she had to take a deep breath. However, she maintained a resolute expression on her face, though there was sorrow in her eyes."Felicia is the one I admire and love. My original intention was to depose you as the Queen, but I still intended for you to stay in the harem so that you wouldn't have to worry about your livelihood in the latter part of your life.""I don't worry about our livelihood?" Something sharp and piercing seemed to penetrate her heart bit by bit, gradually accumulating from a minor wound to a bottomless abyss until her heart felt as if it had been shattered. Emma resembled a drifting iceberg on the verge of breaking apart. They married for eight years, going through hardships and difficulties together. During the most challenging times for him, she stood by his side. But when he ascended to the throne as the Lycan King, he fell in love with Felicia like this, not only wanting to depose her but also constantly saying that she didn't have to worry about her livelihood."I did everything for you, even sacrificing my life to protect you, and all I received in return was the phrase 'not having to worry about your livelihood'? Eight years! Eight years of marriage, not worth a face as divine as Felicia's. Who needs your so-called worry-free livelihood? YOU EASILY GAVE everything I endured, even risking my life, to another woman! And you expect me to be grateful to all of you?"Alpha Jeffn slammed his hand forcefully on the table, causing the tea tray to fall to the ground, and his face slightly wrinkled. "Shut up! What other woman? Felicia is your sister!"Emma sneered lightly, "Sister? She is a celestial beauty, the eldest daughter of Beta Henry's family, a cloud in the sky. And what am I? I am just a lowly daughter of Beta Henry, a misfortune that even my father doesn't care about, dirt on the ground! If she truly sees me as her sister, how could she snatch away my husband and the Crown Prince position from my son!"Alpha Jeffn snorted lightly, looking down at the ground. His eyes were filled with a sinister and cruel glint as he scanned Emma's pale face, his gaze threatening enough to take one's breath away. "Felicia is innocent, virtuous, and pure. Even an ant would be pitied and spared by her. You are not even worthy of her fingertip! As for Phil, you have raised him to be disrespectful towards Felicia. What right does he have to sit on the throne as the Crown Prince?"Innocent, virtuous, and pure? She had always done good deeds from childhood to adulthood, but the one who received all the praise and recognition was always her sister! She had a beautiful face, enough to be revered as a celestial being!Emma felt a deep sense of irony. Alpha Jeffn's words were like a blade stabbing straight into her heart, causing fresh blood to flow profusely. It seemed warm tears were slowly flowing from her dry and empty eyes.Her gaze contained boundless pain. "Fine, I am far inferior to my sister! But Phil is innocent. He is just a four-year-old child who doesn't understand anything. When he saw me crying in distress because of you, he said two resentful words out of temporary discomfort, and you coldly locked him up for three days and three nights!"Alpha Jeffn looked at her coldly without saying a word.The second stepmother’s eyes swelled like peaches. If anyone who looked at her would think she was so compassionate.Only she knew how much effort it took to put on this facade, even using the best perfumes layered six or seven times just to make her complexion appear slightly paler.When she saw Felicia dressed in vibrant red, she was initially surprised, but then a bitter smile appeared in her eyes, and she determined not to give her time to change clothes.She grabbed her hand and said, “Quickly come in, senior lady is waiting for you!”Felicia misunderstood the meaning behind these words, becoming even more convinced that her maternal grandmother had passed away.Overwhelmed with joy, she tried to restrain her expression of happiness, intending to brush off the woman’s hand.However, unable to avoid the onlookers, she was forcefully dragged into the main hall by the woman. As soon as she stepped inside, she heard the second stepmother exclaim, “Senior lady, Felicia has returned!”
Emma estimated it to be three months, but in reality, Luna Sandra passed away just a short month after the mourning was announced at Alpha Goode Manor.On that day, before dawn had even broken, representatives from the Goreng family were already knocking on the grand doors of the Seldom family mansion.Carol received the news first and hurriedly came to report, “Luna Sandra has passed away!”Although prepared for it beforehand, upon hearing those words ringing in her ears, she still felt surprised.“Why so soon?” Luther beside her couldn’t help but remark.Carol’s face carried a hint of sarcasm as she replied, “After the Goreng family brought her back, just as the young lady said, they invited the Imperial Physician from the palace to examine her, but the lady’s condition had already deteriorated critically. She refused to take her medicine. The Goreng family tried everything, even inviting a renowned healer from the south, but before that person could arrive in the Capital, Luna Sand
Luna Sandra despised this second maid, her eyes darting around, wide open with surprise. It turned out that every flower, every blade of grass, every door and window, every piece of furniture, and even the mountainside, the dining hall, everything was plastered with yellow talismans.This bizarre scene left Luna Sandra dumbfounded.Miona exclaimed, “This is—”She turned back to look at Luna Sandra, her eyes questioning, but Luna Sandra seemed bewildered, unable to say anything. Nanny Marry breathed a sigh of relief; currently, Luna Sandra was confined to her room, though she ate and took her medicine three times a day as usual. However, the third young lady had quietly instructed that no one be allowed to talk to her. Over time, Luna Sandra seemed to forget how to communicate, spending her days in a daze, her nerves gradually deteriorating. Now she even refused to take her medication, constantly claiming to see spirits and sometimes even rolling off the bed. At this moment, her breath
Luna Sandra’s grandmother observed Emma from afar, clad in simple attire, with a graceful figure and gentle footsteps. Her eyes carried a hint of a smile as she appeared, lacking the ostentatious beauty of a moonflower, yet her gentle smile and serene demeanor, with tranquil eyebrows, exuded a rustic elegance, akin to a proud white orchid.Luna Sandra glanced, immediately recognizing Emma’s subtle strength. Such a girl lacked the captivating beauty of Felicia, but concealed her own power and charm. While she seemed plain at first glance, she stood out among a myriad of blooming flowers, inadvertently dominating the room.Emma acknowledged Luna Sandra’s assessing gaze with a calm smile, sincerely addressing her, “Emma pays respects to the maternal grandmother, the first sister-in-law.”Luna Sandra remained silent, her maid Miona astute, stepping forward to support Emma’s hand, carefully assessing her from head to toe, remarking, “The third cousin is exquisite, pure and gentle, generous
He suddenly remembered something, his face darkening. “Has someone angered you?” The words had barely left his mouth when he immediately felt regret. Tentatively, he reached out, lifting her face, a tear as cold as ice falling onto his hand without warning. Clearly cold as it was, the young man’s heart felt as if it had been scorched in an instant, a pain inexplicable.Emma raised her head, her eyes devoid of tears, as if the tear in his hand was merely an illusion. She smiled gently, whispering to the confused young man, “Younger brother...”Now, the only person she could fully rely on was him.If possible, she hoped, he would not change throughout his life.“I won’t let anyone bully you.” The young man reached out, stroking her soft hair.Emma was stunned, then immediately smiled. At this moment, she thought the young man was joking, but later discovered she had been mistaken.Today, Dan rode a horse straight to the Seldom family’s residence.Dan hurried to Emma’s side, kneeling dow
The king, very suspicious. So everything that happened today was within Emma’s calculations.Emma turned away, and the distant fire cast an uncertain flickering light on her face. Her voice was calm, so ordinary that nobody could sense the unprecedented fatigue beneath it. She said, “I did this for the Seventh Prince’s own good.”Edward looked at her in surprise.Emma continued, “Today’s events, on the surface, Luna Daisy, were reprimanded by King Lycan. However, King Lycan knows he wronged Luna Daisy and even contemplated assassination. King Lycan will conclude that someone overwhelmed with jealousy against his beloved consorts plotted against Luna Daisy, always so gentle. Tell me, who will think King Lycan is a threat and resort to taking action against her?”“You intentionally chose Luna Meria?” Edward looked at her in disbelief.“That’s right, Luna Meria’s second son, who is also my Second Elder Brother, was married into the Alpha Male’s household. He has a legitimate daughter who
King Lycan’s face turned purple with anger, and he ordered an investigation. The result of the investigation found a wooden nameplate hanging from the waist of one of the palace maids, used for distinguishing the maids. This nameplate was traced back to Luna Daisy’s palace.At that moment, the expressions of everyone present changed dramatically.Luna Daisy had always been highly favored by King Lycan and had remained unshaken in her position for many years. But now, King Lycan was furious as he held up the wooden nameplate meant to distinguish the palace maids and threw it strongly in Luna Daisy’s direction, saying, “Luna Daisy, is this the good deed you’ve done?”Luna Daisy’s face suddenly turned pale. She had been in the palace for many years and had seen her fair share of such situations, but she had never witnessed King Lycan this furious. Overwhelmed by the sudden catastrophe, she was so frightened that she almost collapsed on the ground. Her usually sharp mind went blank, and s
Luna Meria, upon hearing these words, displayed anger and bitterness on her face, saying, “Emma, if it weren’t for your desire to compete with Naomi, how could she end up in this state? Everything is because of you...”Monami looked at Luna Meria with sympathy and believed that this had nothing to do with Emma. If it weren’t for Naomi’s haughty attitude, Emma wouldn’t have wanted to compete with her. Furthermore, her injury was an unfortunate accident. Just as Monami was about to speak, Emma gently interrupted, saying, “Miss Monami, I have a few words to speak with my aunt. Could you step out for a moment?”Monami was a wise and tactful young lady who understood human nature. She believed Emma wanted to explain things to Luna Meria, so she smiled and said, “Of course I’ll leave for now. I’ll find you later.” As she observed the behavior of many young noble ladies who were often haughty, Monami, with her martial family background, admired Emma’s straightforward, intelligent, and courag
“Carol, present your treasure to the Seventh Prince,” Emma gestured.Carol approached Emma with a stony face and retrieved a bronze mirror from within her clothes, and Edward quickly understood.“I asked Carol to pay attention to the surroundings. When that person shot the arrow, she signaled me,” Emma explained simply. Many complex details, such as how Carol had detected Samuel, how she had chosen the perfect moment, and how they had communicated, remained unspoken, but Edward still understood.It was all part of a carefully orchestrated plan.Emma invited Naomi to the horse race, but in reality, she had intended for Naomi to die in her place.Edward asked, puzzled, “Why did you choose Naomi? From what I know, you are ruthless and wouldn’t spare the innocent.”Emma chuckled and replied, “Some people have been noticing Luna Meria and Naomi coming to Luna Daisy’s camp the past few days. They wondered why they were so concerned about me. I thought I should repay their kindness in some w
