The Price of a Princess
There is a palace rule in the Great Sheng Dynasty: regardless of rank or status, whoever gives birth to a child must raise that child.
Mother was the most insignificant Cairen in the harem.
Ever since I was born, I lived with her in the neglected Chengze Hall.
When I was eight, the Imperial Physician diagnosed Mother with a severe illness and said she did not have long to live.
That day, Mother jumped into the Taiye Pond and saved the drowning Third Prince.
She saved the Third Prince’s life, but lost her own in the waters of Taiye Pond.
Rumors spread throughout the palace. Everyone said, “The Third Prince stepped on Cui Cairen’s head, pushing her underwater so he could climb ashore.”
They fanned the flames, but I knew in my heart that Mother did it on purpose.
She used her own life to ensure that, after her death, I could be taken in by the Third Prince’s birth mother, Consort Qi.
Mother was so foolish.
She thought she had paved a path for me.
She forgot.
A child without a mother leads a bitter life.
While Others Fall in Love, I Go Crazy: The Supporting Female Character Smashes the Entertainment Industry
introduction:
[1v1 guaranteed sweetness + romance reality show + playfully going wild with memes + heartthrob + romantic battlefield + male lead]
Ning Xi lived for 21 years before realizing she was the universally disliked fake heiress in a novel where the rich family dotes on one child-a foil and stepping stone to the Real Heiress.
In the book, everyone who adored the Real Heiress got everything they wanted and became wildly successful, while anyone who went against her ended up miserable.
Ning Xi was silent. Ning Xi had an epiphany. Ning Xi got excited:
“I get it! I should chase after the Female Lead too! Be good to the Female Lead!”
So –
When the Real Heiress put on a brave face and spoke gently in front of Ning Xi’s fiancé, Ning Xi looked at her with genuine concern: “I know you want to be strong, but you don’t have to be strong anymore – I’ve got you!”
When the Real Heiress shed tears in front of Ning Xi’s Childhood Friend, Ning Xi yelled at him: “If you make her shed a single tear, I’ll make you bleed! If you break my sister’s wings, I’ll bring down your entire heaven!”
When the Real Heiress fainted in the arms of the Prince of Xiangcheng, Ning Xi swooped her up and warned him: “My girl – don’t touch, don’t steal, don’t even think about her. If you lay a finger on her, 110 takes me away, 120 takes you away!” (110 = police, 120 = ambulance)
When the Real Heiress was exposed for dating multiple guys and her reputation was ruined, Ning Xi fumed: “Even if we take ten thousand steps back, are those guys totally blameless?”
After going wild, Ning Xi’s whole mental state improved a lot.
But then, everyone else started acting weird.
The hot-tempered, sharp-tongued Childhood Friend started sending her abs workout videos; the cold fiancé’s eyes turned red and his voice shook as he begged her to get back together; the Villain Boss was willing to play the third for love.
Even the Real Heiress, who always put her down, was teary-eyed: “I thought I was just clever, but I didn’t expect you to truly love me.”
Ning Xi: ?
Everyone’s lost it…
Whoops, I’m Richer Than You All
On the night of my birthday, my boyfriend said he had to work overtime.
But his childhood sweetheart just posted a selfie on her WeChat Moments, holding his arm, with the caption: “No matter when, my brother will drop everything to come find me, hehe.”
My eyes burned and I couldn’t help but comment:
“What the hell are you giggling about?”
