Grand Princess (Reserved Charmer, Ice-Cold Beneath the Surface) vs. Little Girl (Adorable Deceiver, Courtesan).
The girl from the brothel was soft and pliable, timid as a mouse, and her signature trick was to bend her waist in half.
Grand Princess Ye Ye watched her bend down, fold her waist in half, and then cry until her eyes were red.
She wiped away the girl’s tears. “You chose this. Why are you crying?”
Mingshu’s tears flowed from exhaustion as she clung to the Grand Princess’s lapels, sobbing, “I-I’m too afraid.”
Unmoved, the Grand Princess watched Mingshu collapse onto the couch, crying herself to sleep.
Later, everyone assumed the Grand Princess favored brothel girls, so they began sending in pliable, delicate-faced, timid girls to the Princess Estate in hopes of currying her favor.
Enraged, Mingshu ran away from home.
The Grand Princess abandoned court affairs to search for her. Finally, she found the girl at a Daoist temple, about to take the vows as a nun.
She coaxed gently, but the girl slammed the door in her face. “I’m taking the vows.”
Undeterred, the Grand Princess persisted patiently. “Let me bite you once, and you’ll come home with me.”
The girl flung the door open in anger. “You bit me several times last night! One bite won’t do it!”
With painted eyes and a seductive smile, the Grand Princess continued her coaxing. “Tonight, I’ll give you ten bites.”
Only then did the girl obediently follow her home.

Remembering her past fate, she resolutely offered herself to the Grand Princess.
The Grand Princess Qin Tangxi fell ill, the little girl she had raised also sick.
She dreamed of the little girl returning, using her body to warm herself. Beneath the blazing flames, the unrestrained firelight outlined the little girl’s most beautiful form.
This is the story of a woman who was killed by her lover in her past life, only to be reborn as that lover’s stepmother.
