I Doomed Them All
The Crown Prince fell in love with the Mute Girl who saved him and insisted on breaking off our engagement.
Out of kindness, I advised him:
“The Mute Girl is alone and without support. Why not take her as a concubine first?”
The Mute Girl felt humiliated and, overwhelmed by shame and anger, took her own life.
Ten years later, the first thing the Crown Prince did after securing the throne was to depose me as Empress and exterminate my entire clan.
“This is what you all owe Ruoruo.”
When I awoke again, it was the day of my sixteenth Birthday Banquet.
The person seated at the head of the table asked me what I wished for.
“I only wish for Your Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Liu… to grow old together in harmony, forever united in heart.”
I bowed reverently:
“Your Majesty, please bestow a marriage upon the two of them!”
The Emperor’s Daughter is My Prey
My Mother was a courtesan, earning money with her own flesh and blood to support my father’s studies and imperial examinations.
Five years later, my father succeeded and was granted marriage to a princess by the Emperor.
Yet, in the Golden Throne Hall, he refused the marriage at the risk of his own life, and with great fanfare, married my Mother with ten miles of red bridal procession.
The princess was displeased.
Three days later, Mother was found abused and disheveled, dying at the entrance of an alley.
Half a year later, the princess finally married my father as she wished.
She did not know that this was the beginning of her misfortune.
