The kind-hearted peasant woman took in the original owner of this body and raised her.
Little did she know that when the original owner was thirteen, the peasant woman was suddenly killed by soldiers, and the original owner was able to escape.
Later on, the original owner found out that the soldiers that killed her adoptive parents had taken a liking to the original owner's beauty. But her adoptive parents did not accept it, thus they were charged with a groundless crime and killed.
If it was a man from a normal family, the original owner's adoptive parents would naturally give their blessings and happily marry off the original owner.
But the soldier that had taken a liking to the original owner was already in his fifties, and he had taken in seven concubines. He was clearly a lecherous person.
The peasant woman treated the original owner as her own daughter, so she naturally could not bear to see her die in vain, thus she refused.
Who knew that she would end up incurring a fatal disaster.
After escaping, the original owner found out why a lowly soldier would be so daring. He could cover the sky with one hand and kill whoever he wanted.
Who knew that this soldier was actually a relative of the empress. Relying on the empress' support, he ran amok.
Following this, the original owner prepared to enter the palace to get revenge for her adoptive parents.
At the same time, she wanted to find her birth father.
The jade pendant that the original owner's mother had left behind belonged to the imperial family. In other words, it was very likely that it had been bestowed by the current emperor.
Then her father should be a noble in the Forbidden City, or perhaps … a noble in the imperial palace.
The original owner was very smart. Upon arriving in the Forbidden City, she already knew about the power struggles in the imperial harem.
At that time, Imperial Concubine Li was just a noble lady, but the original owner was certain that she would definitely become the emperor's favorite. Thus, she helped Imperial Concubine Li with a small matter during a banquet.
Imperial Concubine Li was also a smart person. She naturally knew what sort of person could be used and what sort of person was most useful.
After the original owner entered Xi He Palace, she continued to provide advice, allowing Noble Lady Li to climb up the ladder. She became the most favored person at the emperor's side and was conferred the title of Imperial Concubine Gui.
But the more favored she was, the more she would become the target of public criticism in the imperial harem.
Imperial Concubine Li very quickly attracted the envy of others, and more and more people wanted her downfall.
But because the original owner was smart, before those people could take action, they were all eliminated by the original owner's plans.
The successive incidents in the imperial harem caused the empress to place great importance on them. She finally came to Xi He Palace and advised Imperial Concubine Li to restrain herself.
At that time, in the original owner's mind thought the empress was even more vicious than Imperial Concubine Li.
Imperial Concubine Li was just fighting for favor, and the Empress, because of her own position, allowed her relatives to run amok among the common people.
Even if it was reported to the government, no one would dare to punish him because he was a relative of the Empress.
Therefore, she would only have a chance to take revenge if the Empress fell.
This was also why she knew that Imperial Concubine Li was vicious and merciless, yet she was still willing to work for her.
However, man proposes, God disposes. The Host never thought that she would be chosen by the Emperor and almost become his concubine.
Why was it almost? Because on the day of the banquet in the palace, the Emperor had become extremely drunk. While Imperial Concubine Li was still bathing, he had mistaken the body's original owner for Imperial Concubine Li and had nearly become hers.
Fortunately, Imperial Concubine Li had appeared, allowing the body's original owner to escape.
With this sort of thing happening, Imperial Concubine Li naturally believed that the original owner had ulterior motives and wanted to use this opportunity to get close to the Emperor.
Such a ruthless and jealous person would naturally keep the original owner by her side.
Not even three days later, Imperial Concubine Li found an excuse for not serving well and had the body's original owner sent to the laundry department.
Because the original owner had previously helped Imperial Concubine Li, she had offended quite a few people.
