In this country, called MuCheng, females are the ones that dominate, and the females can marry as many males as they want.
The third princess of MuCheng is called Mu Qingyun. Although she was a princess, she was despised by most people. Her father died when she was young, so she only had her brothers, her elder sister named Mu Lingxi, and the Empress Dowager that cared about her.
As Qingyun grew up, some people started to like her, such as Bai Jingxuan, and Ye Wangxi.
When she was 15 years old, Empress Dowager made her marry Brother Ye, but she refused. Her heart already had somebody else.
On her wedding night, she left Ye Wangxi alone in the room and didn't go see him.
One day the Empress Dowager fell very sick, so she started to learn medicine to try to heal her.
For a year, she left Ye Wangxi alone and ignored whatever he said. Empress Dowager tried to make her more powerful, so people won't bully her by making her marry some concubines.
But after two months, she saw that Ye Wangxi protected her whenever she was in a difficult and desperate situation.
She started to slowly fall in love with him. But she did not know that her second sister, Mu Xuanyin, likes Ye Wangxi.
Ye Wangxi is the prime minister's son, and Xuanyin loves him deeply. In order to get rid of the Xuanyin's tremendous power, Empress Dowager made Ye Wangxi marry Mu Qingyun.
As Qingyun fell deeper in love with Ye Wangxi, a lot of problems surfaced. Like Ye Wangxi, she ignored the concubines and never went to see them. The concubines grew desperate, so they started cheating on her; the concubines dated other women, and some of her concubines even turned gay. Her harem went to a total mess.
She tried to force herself to stop falling in love with Ye Wangxi because she loved her brother Bai. She promised to wait for him.
After a few months, Brother Bai finally came back from the mission. Brother Bai promised that when he got back from the mission, he would marry her. Brother Bai was forced to break his promise and marry Lingxi.
Qingyun was very sad, but she couldn't do anything about it.
Lingxi's father hates Qingyun, but Lingxi treats her very kindly. At that time, she always thought that Lingxi was one of the best people in this world. She was wrong.
Lingxi tortured brother Bai until he fell very sick and died. Lingxi made an excuse that Bai Jingxuan died of the disease.
Qingyun cried and shut herself in her room for a month because of his death. If she could have learned earlier that her elder sister was cruel, a lot of the bad things wouldn't have happened.
The Empress Dowager wouldn't have died of illness, and her older and younger brother wouldn't have died.
Every family member that ever truly cared about her was dead. She was in a desperate situation for help.
Everybody bullied her when Qingyun became very weak. Her maids and concubines revolted and bullied her. Xuanyin would now and then, come and beat Qingyun up.
Ye Wangxi was the only one that would take care of her and protect her. He was the one that would tell her that everything would be alright, and all the bad guys would get retribution.
She tried everything to protect herself from the people that would try to harm her. She tried to learn martial arts, hide, to attack, but that only made them want to attack her even more.
In the end, she had nothing. Ye Wangxi was forced to betray her and marry her second sister. Her personal maid, Xi'er, betrayed her for the elder princess. Lingxi turned out to be an evil person. Lingxi killed her own mother, her brothers, and the Empress Dowager.
Since Lingxi became Empress, Xuanyin tried to rebel. Lingxi killed Xuanyin, her allies, her followers, and her entire household leaving no one alive. She was merciless.
Lingxi dragged Ye Wangxi's corpse right in front of Qingyun and smiled. She told Qingyun all the truths of what Lingxi did, and she let her father torture Qingyun to death.
Qingyun vowed:
IF I CAN RESTART EVERYTHING AND START ON SQUARE ONE, I DEFINITELY WOULD PROTECT ALL MY LOVED ONES AND MAKE YOU, MU LINGXI DIE A DREADFUL DEATH!
