Even though it was hot and stuffy while staying in the dark and cool room and laying in bed with a blanket covering her body, Ji Yunkai felt cold all over. That cold feeling came from her bones, and caused her teeth to clench tightly in pain.

'What had happened?' Ji Yunkai tried to think back, but she couldn't remember what happened after the explosion. That memory seemed to be blank, and the only thing she could be sure of was that she couldn't be saved.

Ji Yunkai gasped and fell back down without any warning. The back of her head knocked heavily on the bedside.

However, Ji Yunkai didn't even have time to cry out in pain before she was stunned by the memory that had instantly surged out of her head.

She was dead, her corpse was blown into pieces, and she has now become the legitimate daughter of the Ji family, Ji Yunkai.

In a country called Revelation, her father was the the imperial adviser and her mother had died when she was born. Her stepmother, who had birthed her half-sister, was considered a beautiful, gentle, and kind woman.

And she....

Ji Yunkai did not have time to think as the door to her room opened and a middle-aged man rushed in only to indiscriminately pulled her down from the bed. "You must be tired of living!", the middle-aged man said angrily as he raised his hand to slap Ji Yunkai.

She instinctively raised her hand to block it, but the instant that she raised her hand, she realized that she didn't have the slightest bit of strength left in her left hand.

Damn, she had forgotten that she had a wound on her left wrist and that she had lost too much blood.

Ji Yunkai who had been hit by the Imperial Advisor Ji slightly slumped down, her body tilted and she staggered a few steps before standing firm against the pillar of the bed.

The left side of her face was burning with pain. Ji Yunkai was so angry that she wanted to kill someone, but her body was so weak like Sister Lin. Forget about retaliating, it was difficult for her to even stand firm.

Ji Yunkai angrily spat out the blood in her mouth, she hid her left hand behind her back and glared at Imperial Advisor Ji: "What do you want?"

Bastard man, is this really the original owner's father?

The moment he entered the room, he started shouting at her. Was he really treating his daughter like this?

This Imperial Advisor Ji must rejoice that her body was weak, otherwise, he would be miserable ….

She, Ji Yunkai, was not someone that could be easily bullied.

"What do I want? I should be the one asking you, what do you want? The marriage decree has already been given. What else do you want? Don't want to marry? Look at your current appearance, aside from the Prince Yanbei whose life and death is unknown, who else would marry you?!" Imperial Advisor Ji pointed at Ji Yunkai's right cheek with a look of disgust.

On the right side of Ji Yunkai's face, there was a palm-sized black spot that had ruined her otherwise beautiful face.

Turbulent memories swarmed into Ji Yunkai's mind, and before Ji Yunkai could even react, her right hand had already covered her face. She remembered that the Emperor was stunned on the spot.

She was engaged to the Emperor, but he had broken off her engagement ten days ago, on the grounds that she was too ugly and virtueless to be the mother of the country.

The reason he said she was ugly was due to the palm-sized black spot on her right cheek. However, this black spot was not a naturally born black spot.

A month ago, the Emperor was poisoned. The doctors in the palace were helpless to do anything about it. The original owner, who had been practicing medicine for fifteen years, entered the palace and risked her life to try to cure the Emperor's poison.

Three days ago, because of a single word from her half-sister, the Emperor bestowed her to Prince Yanbei as his official consort.

Ji Yunkai did not immediately answer, but stared straight at Imperial Advisor Ji with her black hole-like eyes, void of any emotion. She stared at Imperial Advisor Ji until his expression became unsettled, and then said slowly: "How could I dare to be dissatisfied with the Emperor. As a citizen of Revelation, even if I have to die to save the Emperor, I am willing to do so."

This was the original owner's truest thought. She did not regret disfiguring herself for the Emperor to save his life, nor did she hate the Emperor for breaking the engagement. But, she had hated the Emperor for pushing her into a fiery pit with just a single word from her half-sister.

Prince Yanbei's Mansion was not a good place to go to.

If it was a month ago, she would have definitely become the target of jealousy from all the women in the city. But now, the world could only pity her. Prince Yanbei, who was famous for being unrivalled in the world and who had attracted countless noble ladies to fight to the death amongst themselves, was currently struggling on the line between life and death. She was about to marry and become a widow at any time.

However, becoming a widow was not the worst part. The worst part was that there was a rule in Prince Yanbei's Mansion: The wife of Prince Yanbei did not seek to live together, but to die together!

To put it bluntly, Princess Yanbei had to die along with him....
