After battling eczema for two months, I’m finally back with a new chapter. It didn’t go away but my neck and private parts are a little better after i scrub with dead sea salt (really painful) and let it stay for about 5 minutes.

“Why not? Didn’t she kill my Sweet Corn?”

“But you were never able to kill anything let alone a person.”

“Lian Er, people change. I need to change. I’ve been a good person my whole life. But what did I gain from being good? They took everything from me in the end. I’ll never again let anyone hurt me. I’ll fight whoever who dare to hurt me or hurt someone close to me. (more…)

It’s been nearly two weeks since the last chapter. I’ve caught a bad cold. The weather here is sometimes cold and sometimes warm. Unpredicable.

It’s been for months since my departure from the palace. I’ve been doing a lot of things, like embroidery and painting, to keep my mind from wandering to a certain person. When I think about him, I can only be sad. He can sentence my family to death to keep his power. That must mean that in his heart, I’m not as important as his place as the emperor. (more…)

I can only laugh dryly. No wonder I’ve been feeling nauseous for days.

“I’ll go tell everyone this good news.”

“Don’t tell anyone yet.”

He looked at me puzzled.

“I want to tell the good news to the emperor myself. Don’t ruin the moment for me. You may excuse yourself now.”

“Do you plan on telling the emperor?”

Bonus chapter. An Ning trust in Xuan Chen is broken. Can it be mended back?

The day has finally come. I sat in my room, while my husband and my father are fighting outside. No matter who wins, I’m bound to be unhappy. After what seems forever, Lian Er finally came with news.

“The emperor has won. Your father is at court now hearing all his sins.”
