Are you a princess? (1)

Co-translator: Kiyuu

“188, when I think of what might happen next, I really don’t want to be the princess.”

At this moment, Shen Wan was wearing a big red wedding gown, covered with a red bridal veil, sitting on the couch properly, waiting for her bridegroom to come and uncover her veil.

The wedding night should have been a very happy and beautiful occasion. But for the original owner of this body, the wedding night was the beginning of her tragic fate. From tonight, she will be cast aside by her relatives and scolded by the whole wide world. 

Her husband hated her, and would even use a sharp knife to cut open the flesh on her body for another woman.

The identity of this body is the eldest daughter of General Shen. Long ago, she was picked out by the emperor to marry He Xiyan, a prince of Xiyun. He Xiyan was the emperor’s most favoured son, and they were worthy of each other’s identity. 

The people of the imperial city considered the two of them to be a perfect match.

But they didn’t know that, in fact, the person He Xiyan really liked was not Shen Wan, but Shen Shi, who was a daughter of General Shen’s concubine, from the General’s Mansion.

Shen Shi has been weak and sick since she was young, and there were toxins all over her body.

While Shen Wan’s body setting is a bit special too, after all, she is the heroine of the novel. It is not surprising that her body constitution was special. 

The special thing about her body is, her blood is a good medicine for detoxification, and when used with other medicinal materials, it can treat many diseases. But this secret is only known to a few people.     

One of those who know this is He Xiyan. 

He didn’t oppose this marriage, solely because, after he marries her to his palace, he would slowly extract her blood and use her to detoxify Shen Shi. How would the original owner know that the person she had always admired would have such schemes?

What happens tonight will build the blocks for the future development of the plotline, about how He Xiyan would abuse her continuously over a thousand times, while she would still treat him as her first love and keep him close to her heart. She would hesitate, hesitate, hesitate and finally would be left in desperation.

Whenever the original owner saw He Xiyan in pain, she couldn’t bear to watch him suffer and couldn’t give up her love for him. In the end, she would torture herself.

Like this, the torture and abuse lasted for more than ten or twenty years. The originally healthy and strong owner turned so weak and sick that she could be blown away by a gust of wind.

Afterwards, He Xiyan would feel guilty and remorseful, and he would search for her everywhere, in every corner of this world, and he would fall sick again.

A dog blood plotline.

Then, in order to save He Xiyan, the original owner would feed him her own blood every day, losing too much blood and putting her life at stake. After He Xiyan recovered, he would take her to find various ways to extend life. 

Unexpectedly, Shen Shi knew that He Xiyan had wanted to prolong the life of the original owner, so she would try to stop him from leaving her,.. but, He Xiyan will give up on her and would choose the original owner. 

In short, after all kinds of twists and turns, the female protagonist who has been tortured and abused, will finally be together with the male protagonist again..

But, even if they were together, the readers of this book were not satisfied. If the heroine had died, maybe they would have just watched and felt pity for her suffering. But what they read was that, no matter how terrible the things the male protagonist did, the female protagonist would always forgive him.

In the end, both the protagonists would even be living with each other happily, giving birth to children and making the readers cough up blood.

“188, give me a powerful pill from your inventory.”

Thinking that there will be a tough fight later, she thought her strength value must not be weak. After getting the strength pill, Shen Wan swallowed it in one bite, and at the same time had to endure the pain it brought. 

The things in the high-end system market were good, but they were all so expensive, that her heart bled.

[188: Wan Wan, come on, I trust you.] 

When the host is depressed, as a system, he must encourage her. The last time they cooperated peacefully, they had got high marks again! He was praised by the boss very much, and was told that if he continued this progress, he would apply for an upgrade from above.

After some time, there was a movement outside the door.

No one was visible, but a voice came over, “Wang Fei, the prince will not come here tonight, and told you to rest early.”

What does it mean that the prince will not stay in the house of the princess on the wedding night? It was undoubtedly slapping her face in public. If word about this spread, the new princess will be made fun of!

Shen Wan was not the original owner, so naturally she did not feel upset or uncomfortable. 

She lifted her veil and said, “Okay, you are dismissed.”

He Xiyan’s confidant was the person who passed the message, and he was obviously surprised when he heard Shen Wan’s words. 

After being stunned for a moment, he quickly retreated and left.

“Princess, what does the prince mean?” Hong Zhu was the personal maid of the original owner, who accompanies the protagonist in the novel. She is loyal, but always gets into trouble easily, and she is not very intelligent.

Seeing that Hong Zhu was going to make a fuss about He Xiyan, Shen Wan quickly stopped her. 

She didn’t want to hear the maid rambling in her ears, like an old woman. She wanted some peace.

She covered Hong Zhu’s mouth, who stared back at her wide-eyed.

“The prince should be drunk.” Shen Wan stood in front of Hong Zhu and explained seriously, “He must have been afraid that as he was drunk, he might go out of control and give me a bad impression. That is why he must have told us to rest early, which means the prince cares about me.”

Hong Zhu: Is that… so?

Originally, He Xiyan’s confidant was stunned for a moment when he listened to the princess’s words. He thought that behind the wall, the master and servant would be complaining that his prince did not enter the bridal chamber on the wedding night, throwing the princess aside and making her lose face. He thought they should have been overwhelmed.

But… Why was reality so different from what he thought? The princess actually thought that the prince did not come because he was afraid that the alcohol would be directed at her and that he would leave a bad impression on her. 

The brain of people in love, really grew on the heart.

[T/N: those in love really think with their emotions rather than logic]

Regardless, the prince had ordered anyway, and as long as the two of them don’t quarrel, it’s all fine.

Although Hong Zhu didn’t believe it in her heart, she still waited on Shen Wan and helped her remove her heavy headwear. After Shen Wan lay down, she went to the small couch next to her.

But Shen Wan didn’t sleep. In order to test the effectiveness of the pill, she secretly touched the wine glass with her hand.

At the moment, she was in the bed, and when she lightly squeezed the wine glass, the glass shattered into fragments. 

Fortunately, she had wrapped her hand with a cloth, so the fragments did not scratch her hands.

But the glass which was shattered into pieces, proved that the strengthening pills she bought at a high price were indeed very useful.

188 sat on the sidelines, quietly observing his host, not knowing what she is going to do next.

The moon outside was up in the sky, and a faint cool breeze blew in from the window. The cold wind blew off the red candle near the couch, and Shen Wan slipped into the blanket, as she felt that tonight the wind is very very cold. 

Hong Zhu, afraid of her mistress catching a cold, got up from the bed, planning to close the window tightly.

When she moved towards the window, she saw a silhouette of a dark figure, and she subconsciously asked, “Who is it?” 

The window was pushed open abruptly, and before Hong Zhu could shout aloud, the person who jumped in from the window held the hilt of the hand knife behind her neck threateningly, and knocked her out.

He is finally here. 

Shen Wan, lying on the bed, heard the movement of the window, and exhaled a little. She has been waiting for this time for a long time, and she decided that if the other party does not come, she would simply go to bed. 

However, she didn’t want something to happen when she was sleeping.

The visitor walked to the bed with light footsteps, and in the dark night, even though Shen Wan had covered her head with a quilt, she could feel a pair of eyes staring at her.

Damn, why does she always encounter this kind of assassination mission in her tasks? These people are all ruthless, with no conscience. All their brains must have been eaten up by pigs.

“If you want to blame, then blame your luck. You have married into the palace, and what’s more, you are Miss Shen.” The man murmured lowly by the side of the bed.

Then Shen Wan heard the sound of clothes fumbling. “188, help me see if he is taking off his pants.”

[188: Yes he is.]

“Insane man!!” Shen Wan clenched her fists tightly. She tried her best to refrain from punching him. Then, she felt her quilt was being lifted. 

She had quietly worn two more layers on her body before getting in the bed as a precaution.

And, obviously, the man was taken aback when he saw such a well wrapped bundle..

Shen Wan opened her eyes slowly and met a dark shadow. Through the moonlight, it was impossible to see the man’s face clearly, but the other party will definitely not dare to show his real face when doing these things..

The clothes on his upper body were still there. But Shen Wan didn’t look down. She did not want to see nor was she interested.

“I heard that Miss Shen is a heavenly beauty… and you really are! Wang Ye is not interested in such a peerless beauty, what a waste. But I would be glad to welcome you!” 

The man’s voice was different from the one in which he talked before. If it wasn’t for Shen Wan listening the whole time, she would have really thought that the person in front of her was not the same person as the one from before.

This actor actually likes to cuckold himself.

After the man said this, he only felt Shen Wan looking at him, without panic or screaming. His body stiffened a bit. Her reaction was completely different from what he thought. Shouldn’t a woman scream loudly when encountering an unfamiliar man in her chamber?

“Wang Ye?”

At this moment, Shen Wan suddenly asked, “Wang Ye! Why did you come here in the middle of the night? Are you so excited to see this wife, that you climbed the window to visit me? Wang Ye, I also really like you very much! You love me so much that you personally came to visit me! Wang Ye, is it really you?”

He Xiyan : No, he is not.

188: Hahaha… he really couldn’t help it.

He Xiyan just wanted to refute that he was not her prince. After all, he didn’t want to reveal his identity to her. But then he changed his mind and thought about it.

It’s better to take advantage of this misunderstanding, wait until his plan succeeds, and then tell the other party that he is not her prince. Wouldn’t this be a bigger blow to her?

When she screams, she would definitely attract the attention of people from the palace. At that time, her reputation would be ruined.

“Yes.” He Xiyan responded without using his real voice, rather vaguely.

Then he pressed her down, preparing to take the next step.

“!!!”

He never thought, before he could touch the other party, Shen Wan would stretch her hand out, and slap him severely.

Without waiting for He Xiyan to react, Shen Wan slapped fiercely on his face again and again, and suddenly she turned over and kicked him hard. Then she used an entire quilt to cover him, and then, she kicked him directly from the couch to the ground.

Finally, she jumped on top of the quilt, and sat on top of it, only to hear the pleasant sound of bone cracking. But she didn’t know where the other party was fractured. 

Anyway, the sound of bone cracking was very crisp, and Shen Wan felt it was very pleasing to the ear.

“You damn bandit! The prince doesn’t have bad breath. But you have such bad breath and you want to pretend to be the prince, damn! I’ll hit you as the daughter of General Shen.”

Shen Wan slammed the quilt and punched it up. Anyway, this guy was the male lead, and a rare chance like this must not slip away from her hand easily.

With all this raucousness, Hong Zhu who was knocked out was also awakened.

Hong Zhu twisted her sore neck, and remembering what had happened before, she planned to shout out.

Shen Wan quickly stopped her and said, “No, don’t scream and attract people’s attention. It will ruin your mistress reputation, okay?” 

Hong Zhu hurriedly closed her mouth, and pushed down her voice, which was about to shout.

“Wang Fei, where is the bandit?” 

Hong Zhu wanted to light up the lamp, and then she thought about it. If she were to light up now, it would also alarm the people outside. It was already late in the night, so she could only ask in a whisper.

Shen Wan said, “He is here, come and help me beat him up. And also, find a rope.”

“I don’t have a rope.”

Shen Wan: Oh, she really has a stupid maid.

Shen Wan felt the strength under the quilt gradually increase, and so she aimed for the position of He Xiyan’s “that place”, and kicked him with her foot. 

He Xiyan really didn’t expect that one day he would be knocked out by a small woman with a foot, and his head would spin so much that he would see stars in pain.

“Go look for the scissors.” 

Hong Zhu’s body trembled, “Wang Fei, are you going to kill the bandit?”

“No, but bring it first. This bandit was beaten up by me, so I have to ensure he won’t hit me back. Bring the scissors, let’s cut the cloth, twist them into a rope, and use it to tie him up.” 

Hong Zhu went to find the scissors, and after finding it, she asked in a low voice, “After you tie it, do you want to call the steward?”

Shen Wan did not speak, and she was swiftly moving the scissors, cutting the clothes into strips of cloth, twisting them into ropes, and tying them together. 

He Xiyan is someone with martial arts skills. He should be able to wake up in a short while. If he could escape easily, all her efforts would have been in vain.

Looking down, she realized that except for a piece of cloth around her waist, everything else was made of red thin cloth.

Seeing him wake up, Shen Wan slashed the back of his neck with the hilt of the hand knife, and he fainted. When he passed out, he cursed, “Damn it! He had underestimated the enemy!”

General Shen’s daughter, no matter how delicate the body is, she should have some martial arts skills!

“Wang Fei, what are we going to do now?” Hong Zhu said with some fear. She really didn’t expect the palace to be so dangerous. Fortunately, her mistress had some ability, so nothing bad happened.

Shen Wan picked up He Xiyan with one hand, and replied to her, “You wait here, I am going to throw him out.”

He Xiyan doesn’t pay attention to her at all, plus he was not present in her courtyard tonight and had something else to do instead. Therefore, in her yard, only two servants were present, and as long as the movement was not too big, she will not attract people’s attention.

Hong Zhu hurriedly opened the door for Shen Wan, and seeing Shen Wan carrying a big man in such a relaxed manner, she swallowed secretly. 

It turned out that her princess was so powerful! Why didn’t she reveal her strength before and instead pretended to be delicate? Hong Zhu was confused.

Shen Wan went under a tree, threw He Xiyan on the branches of the tree and hung him upside down. In order to let the other party remain on the tree for a while, she turned him around and got some ropes to tie him into a cocoon. 

Only then did she happily return to the room, and told Hong Zhu to close the door and window tightly, and lay down on the couch to sleep.

Hong Zhu: I can’t sleep anymore.     

The next morning, after Shen Wan woke up, she felt refreshed and felt she had slept really well last night. 

After a while, the steward came to her and inquired , “Wang Fei, the Wang Ye is sick… do you want to go and see him? Princess Shihui is also here.” 

This means that as the Wang Fei, she should be responsible to take care of the prince and also welcome the Princess Shihui. 

Shen Wan held back her thoughts for a while before putting on a worried expression, “Did the prince drink too much last night and catch a cold?”   

“It should be.” The steward did not know exactly, but he felt that the prince who had always been physically strong, who never fell ill, suddenly told he was not well and didn’t want to see them. He also refused to allow the doctor to come and diagnose him. 

Therefore, he could only come and invite the new princess, hoping that perhaps the prince would agree to let the doctor see him after hearing her words.  

Unexpectedly, Princess Shihui had also heard about this, and brought a doctor from the palace.

Shen Wan came to visit He Xiyan, and her face displayed a sad, worried and sorrowful expression all along the way. 

As soon as she entered the room, she said, “Why is the prince sick and doesn’t want to let the doctor look at him? It really makes this Wang Fei worried to death.”

When she said this, she only felt a pair of eyes falling on her on her body.

She raised her head and saw a woman dressed in a beautiful Chinese dress. She met the opponent’s dazzling eyes and the words she meant to say came to a halt.

“Princess Shihui.” Shen Wan greeted her dryly.

He Qing Ning raised her chin, and glanced contemptuously at Shen Wan, “Just how did you take care of my third brother last night? Why do you look so new?”

“I just got married last night.”

“Then, you are the wife of the third brother, and he got so sick. But, where were you all this time?”

Shen Wan: “Well.. it’s my fault for waking up late.”

He Qing Ning frowned slightly and suddenly asked, “Should you not live in the same house as the third brother?”

Shen Wan: “188, how should I answer her?”

Little note :

Princess Shihui is He QingNing’s title.. Kind of like a second name, with honorifics..
