Han Yan had always known that it would be impossible for her to be Prince Ling's princess consort with her status. She was willing to give it up if Prince Ling was engaged to someone else, but why did it have to be Han Jing? Han Yan knew her since they were young, and she was incomparable to her. What did Han Jing do to deserve the desirable Prince Ling?
"What do you think? Do you choose death or get married to Prince Ling? You are not going to get another chance like this. I won't be this nice to you every time." Han Jing could tell from Han Yan's eyes that she liked Prince Ling because she was jealous of Han Jing—she could get married to a better man although she was ugly.
She would grant her wish and let her have Prince Ling. She had to return the favor for trying to destroy her reputation.
