Li mei was sitting on the bed, in her elegant red wedding dress, instead of being there, she should be enjoying the night of her honeymoon, next to Yin, her beloved.
Where is he? Why does it take so long?
Asked Li mei, already impatient to wait so long for the man.
The woman's thoughts were interrupted when she heard small footsteps coming from outside the room. She couldn't contain her anxiety and took off the red veil that covered her sculpted face.
She looked like she was in her seventeen years, her skin was white as milk and her beautiful face screamed innocence.
Yin must be around...
Li mei spoke to herself, getting up quickly from the cozy bed.
After getting up, she felt a tightness in her heart and vision of her became blurred and holding on to the headboard, she wondered in a cold sweat.
What is that? Why am I like this?
Before she could try to sit on the bed, Li mei fell to the floor feeling immense pain, it was as if her bones were being broken slowly, one by one.
Grinding her teeth, Li mei noticed the bedroom door being opened and in a shaky voice she spoke.
Husband... I'm really not well, help me...
Looking up frantically, she noticed her older sister standing next to her husband and letting out little artificial breaths, she spoke in question.
Jia? What are you doing here?
Jia mei, is Li mei's older half sister, in the past when her mother died, her father, the prime minister, placed the graceful concubine, Jia's mother, as the new lady of the house and since then the two have been inseparable.
Looking contemptuously at the situation her younger sister was in, she spoke with a smirk on her face.
It is a pity that you only know this now, but Yin only married you, because of her status, and he knew that you would do anything for him. Now that he has ascended the throne, he no longer needs you!
Tears quickly formed in Li mei's eyes and, looking at the two figures in front of her, she spoke through her tears.
No, this is not possible, Yin loves me...
Raising the fingers of one hand to the red lips, Jia spoke sarcastically.
Oh, you are such a naive little sister. Well, since you don't believe me, why not show our love for each other?
Turning her attention to the man beside her, Jia put her hand on the man's shoulder and then kissed him passionately. Making Li mei bring his hands to his chest, feeling the pain more and more intense.
In a matter of seconds, blood started to pour out of her mouth and looking at her older half sister with disgust, she spoke with intense hatred in her eyes.
I really trusted you... No wonder you are a prostitute like your mother, you really deserve each other...
Quickly approaching Li mei, Jia slapped her face hard and pulling her by her wavy hair, she spoke with contempt.
Yin and I are getting married, I would love for you to see us at the altar, completely in love, me in the phoenix dress embroidered in gold and being named the new Empress, a pity that you will die from being poisoned...
With another mocking smile, Jia pushed Li mei, making her moan in pain.
Aaah...
With every second that passed, her eyelids got heavier, she felt an indescribable pain in her heart, and she didn't know if it was the effect of the poison or the pain of having her heart broken for her beloved...
Her lifeless eyes were slowly closing and giving the couple one last good look, she thought inwardly, about to close her eyes.
So, is this the end of me? did I do everything for the man who didn't really love me? No, I do not accept this, if I have another life, I will make you pay, every humiliation I went through, I will repay ten times worse!
