    Oh and like you said, it is indeed a very long story. There's so much that happens and halfway into the book you have all these new characters being introduced and they all play a big role in the overall plot.

    Whose father are you talking about?

    As for the fourth prince and stepsister, basically they keep losing in all their plans against the ML and FL. 1000 chapters into the novel we have not yet seen the end of the fourth prince. He loses his title as the fourth prince in one of his schemes that backfires against him, he gets his title back by showing loyalty to his father and making it seem as though he cares a lot about his health. Eventually he is kicked out of the country by his father (the emperor) by the ML and FL's plans that portray him and his wife's family as people that are scheming and allying with local enemies and foreign countries to take the throne. He ends up living as a farmer in horrible conditions somewhere far away. Later on, the ML and FL are informed that he is dead. But that turns out not to be true, and he comes back disguised as a beggar. He meets up with spies from the neighboring kingdom and joins them in their plans.

    For the stepsister, she always loses against the FL. Eventually she lives a horrible life in the farm sleeping in dirt with animals (similarly to how the FL spent her last days in her previous life). She is always monitored by FL's people so she can't run away. One time she does but it does not help her at all since everyone thinks she is just a beggar and she looks disgusting with half her face rotten. You can say she gets what she deserves basically.

    Are you talking about the prime minister who obviously seemed to favor the MC’s younger sister and concubine mother?

    This story seriously reminds me of the Chinese drama show “Story of Minglan” without the second rebirth. Minglan was also a daughter of an official and she wasn’t favored. However, she was darn smart and took down all her enemies inside and outside her family. She even sarcastically told her father to continue living obliviously after the father realized how frighteningly intelligent and “an eye for an eye” way she thinks and covertly acts. That was her way of telling him he failed spectacularly as a father.

    Her father wasn't her enemy, not like the stepsister and stepsister mother. The father sucks though because he only cares about what benefits him the most. That's why he favors the stepsister and her mother in the beginning. They were on good terms with his mother (FL's grandmother) and since the stepsister was really pretty she would most likely get married to one of the princes. And because of the stepsister and her mother's plans, they keep putting the FL and FL's mother in a bad light so that they don't get the father or grandmother's favor. It is like that until the FL rebirths and starts changing things as we see in the manhua, eventually the father realizes that the FL is smart, she is getting on good terms with the grandmother and people like her so he should start supporting her too. But there's never any father-daughter love between the FL and her father. The FL knows the nature of her father, and if anything the father becomes wary of the FL later on since she is not someone he can control and she's too smart.

    The stepsister's mother dies after she gets caught by her husband (FL's father) in multiple schemes made against her by the FL. First she loses control of the harem that was given to her by the grandmother (it is returned to the FL's mother). Then she is caught putting on aphrodisiac incense in her room for whenever the husband visits. She also fakes a pregnancy and gets caught when she is expected to go into labor (so she faked the pregnancy for at least 9 months). And then the nail in the coffin is when she is exposed to have been the one that killed one of the concubine's sons many years ago.

    Yeah that does sound very similar. I looked it up and that show is based on the novel called "Legend of Concubine's Daughter Minglan". But yeah a lot of these historical novels with female leads are very similar since they have to deal with enemies inside and outside of the family.

    The ending of the novel is quite satisfying but long. I'll write down the stories and ending for the main characters. I don't know how to make the spoiler buttons so please be advised.

    Lian Shiya- 3rd daughter of the prime minister
    She went through several more schemes to burden our MC but our heroine was able to flip all of them and pretty much give everything she owed back to Shiya. Along the way, Shiya became disabled (she walks with a limp) and her face was very disfigured (she had to use a skin face mask type to go around in public). Her face was disfigured due to a bad infection after being sent away to a barn where she lived miserably. This barn is significant in the story because in MC last life, this was where she ended up dying by Shiya. In the barn, MC has to eat pig food and poop :( So in this life, MC convinced the family that Shiya was too much trouble to keep around so they should send her there instead (I forget why exactly since its been a while). Anyways, Shiya ends up escaping her life at the barn to go around as a homeless person where she is beaten by everyone she encounters. MC finds her and tells her if she doesn't want to live at the barn, she can just marry the 4th prince (please refer to Xiao Rou's section for more details about the wedding). At the end of the wedding, she became a side concubine to the 4th prince and her and Xiao Rou fight all the time. Shiya ends up trying to kill Siyue once again through revealing that Lian Jue was not the real son of the minister but was unsuccessful (more about this in Lian Jue's section). After this scheme, MC and ML finally get rid of her by mentally torturing her, cutting out her eyes, and brutally stabbing her (just like she did to MC last life).

    Concubine Xiao- side wife of prime minister
    She is the first to go from all the antagonists of the story. Someone mentioned it before but she frames our MC some more and even fakes her own pregnancy. It was her plan to actually get pregnant with a son for the PM to elevate her status but turns out, MC mom got pregnant too. She was planning to reveal it to the family but once she got to meet the grandma, it was already revealed that MC mom is pregnant. She didn't want to lose to her so she announced she was pregnant too (without being checked by a doctor). CX thought that she was because she had symptoms similar to when she was preggo with Lian Shiya. But once the doctor checked and found out she actually wasn't preggo, they decided to keep the rouse going. The plan was to go into labor the same day as MC mom and while everyone is distracted with her, bring an outside baby in. MC caught on from the beginning and revealed to everyone her plot. Afterwards, CX got sent to unfavored residence for concubines in the house where MC tricked her into revealing that she killed a favored son of the PM years ago. After the PM and grandma decided to get rid of CX. CX couldn't stand the fact the MC mom was the real wife so she went to go kill her and found out through MC mom (once again the mom is talking unnecessary shit out of nowhere sigh) that Lian Jue was not actually her child. CX immediately started to run around yelling out the truth so that PM will doubt MC and her mom. But thanks to PM sister (who knows the truth and is on MC side), the PM dismissed CX. Afterwards, Lian Siyue killed CX to prevent her from spreading the truth. It was satisfying to see her ending.

    Prime Minster - father to MC
    He is complicated because while he wasn't a good dad, he didn't plot against MC. He basically favored CX because CX used aphrodisiacs to trick him into thinking her loved her a lot. Once he found that out, he dropped her like a hot potato. In MC last life, he didn't help her even though MC constantly asked for help. In this life, he wasn't close to MC and MC made it very clear to him that he was not a priority on her list. He plotted with Concubine Shu to send MC to the palace as a concubine but failed because MC and 9th prince fought against it. He mostly only cared about the family honor and how to use his daughter to help him grow in his career. In the end, he ends up dying with most of the Lian family by a fire caused by the 4th prince. When the 4th prince came to see him in the fire, PM begged him not to kill him and died pathetically.

    MC Mom - the names are escaping me now so I will refer them as such
    She started off great in the manhua but ended up being super terrible. She constantly keeps telling her maid (the person who already knows) that Lian Jue is not her son which caused soooo many problems. She didn't have any authority in the house until MC gave it to her. Then after she gave birth to another child, a son this time. Because she was worried that Lian Jue would become heir to the house, she confronted Lian Jue and told him that only Lian Yan (new child) can since he has the blood. Lian Jue was super hurt by it but was nice about it and said I only need the family not anything else. She distanced herself from him since. She even tried to poison him!! Once it was revealed that LJ was not her child, PM told her that she will be his wife in name only (this was for MC because once she marries ML, she can't have a scandal). MC finds out about the poisoning and tells her mom if she had to choose between her and LJ, she would choose LJ. Then MC takes away her authority in the house and tells her to quietly raise Lian Yan. This was the beginning of her strained relationship with MC. Afterwards there is a plot involving her real child (the daughter she gave away) where a fake bitch comes and takes that place. The mom was so happy to have her 'real daughter' back and tries to raise her to be distanced from MC. When the fake daughter realizes that the real daughter was in the house, she got MC mom to beat her by claiming she poisoned Yan. Once MC comes and debunks the conspiracy, MC mom regrets beating the daughter but the daughter said the mom was no good and she should reflect on everything. In the beginning the mom abandoned her to take a son in to gain favor in the house and real daughter is confused as to why she is trying to act like a mom now. In the end, MC mom dies in the fire via 4th prince.

    Lian Jue- brother to MC
    He is a super important character if you have not noticed. While he is not the son of the PM, it turns out he is the son of the empress and emperor. Due to a plot by 8th prince mom, he was sent away to die only to be found by MC mom maid and brought to PM household. When Lian Shiya and 4th prince revealed to everyone that he was not the real son, he and MC were placed in family jail where Shiya tried to kill them via poison and a fire. Little did Lian Shiya and 4th prince know that he was the son of the emperor. MC and 9th prince realized that it was only a matter of time before his origin was revealed so they tricked Shiya and 4th prince to reveal it for them. During the time they were announcing it to everyone at a banquet, 9th prince went to get the emperor and told him the truth. Because of this, the emperor went to go save Lian Jue. The family pretty much regrets putting him in jail and were worried what would happen to them. He is a main character in the story so he goes through a lot of shit (he was even blind for a while). If you want specifics, I can reveal that later. In the end though, Lian Jue moves to the palace and after a longggggggg battle, he comes the next emperor. He gets over his feelings for MC and pursues the real daughter of MC mom.

    Real Daughter of MC mom - Next empress and Lian Jue Wife
    So has explained, the mom abandoned her for a son to gain favor in the house. The daughter ended up at the palace instead and lives as the 11th princess, Lingyue (girl from the hunt who tried to shoot people with arrows). It was revealed that she wasn't the true daughter of the empress via schemes by Concubine Shu's daughter (MC cousin, girl with asthma). Emperor was going to kill her but MC and Lian Jue (the new favorite son of the emperor) saved her. She went into hiding from then and MC took care of her. Honestly, she lived the saddest life to me in the story :( In the last life, the emperor found out that she wasn't his daughter and killed her secretly. This life, MC was able to fake her death and keep her hidden. But that cockroach, 4th prince, brought her out of hiding to try and frame MC in front of the emperor. Thanks to LJ though, she was not killed. During some type of celebration (I think new years), MC brought her home to the PM residence and pretended that she was a maid. The fake daughter (see her section for more details) found out that she was actually the real daughter and tries to kill her via MC mom. While almost dying, MC maid found LJ to help save 11th princess. LJ told the family that if 11th princess didn't live after the beating, he would wipe out the PM family. MC mom and fake daughter was super scared after that. Shortly after, it was revealed that she was the true daughter and MC mom was even more regretful. Overall she was accepted into the household and a firm believer of MC. She went through a lot after the fire though as she was one of the only remaining people who lived (the other being Lian Yan). Between being kidnapped to another country and finding love, this girl survived it all and ended up being empress despite the oppositions from people. She fell in love with LJ first and eventually LJ realized he was in love with her as well and said that he will only accept her as his wife. In terms of plotting and skills, she is nothing compared to MC and is taken care of by other people for a very long time.

    Lian Yan- brother of MC
    Not much on him except he was favored by the family and survived the fire with 11th princess. They were kidnapped to a different country (reason being the Xiao family) and he is expected to restore the Lian family when he grows up. He is taken care of by MC.

    @letterstoyou , thanks for the spoilers. What about the ending for the main couple? I heard they even went through amnesia plot.

    Cool thanks!

    Short Version of the ending is that they live happily ever after with MC brother being Emperor. They help solidify this rule and pretty much watch out for MC brother and sister. They have twins in the middle of the story, a girl and boy I believe but MTL is confusing. The amnesia plot is when ML loses is memory in a storm when MC and ML were traveling to the neighboring kingdom. After LJ became emperor, MC started getting visions and dreams about her first daughter, Le Yan (daughter of 4th prince). In the past life, after MC was dethroned as empress, Shiya sent Le Yan off to the neighboring kingdom as a bride where she was imprisoned and died there. 4th prince didn't care about her because he didn't want to be reminded of his past with MC. The neighboring kingdom was known for being uncivilized and brute-ish. In this life, Le Yan transmigrated into a different body after her death. MC was convinced that she was out there and that she needed to go find her. ML, who took care of Le Yan in the past life, agreed and they set off. They got separated shortly after due to a bad storm. MC was saved by 4th prince (who had a different face because the emperor helped him) and ML was saved by a general of the neighboring kingdom. ML unfortunately lost his memory and was pretty badly injured. MC found her long lost daughter (and finally killed that cockroach 4th prince) and set off to find ML. She found him but realized he didn't remember her. The general of the neighboring kingdom fell in love with ML so she wanted to keep him with her because he was smart with battles and strategies. The general is not a bad person in the story though, she doesn't know what love is like so she tried to hold on to him as long as possible. At first MC was overall shocked he forgot but she was confident that she can get him to remember. She was very possessive of him during this time. Through plotting and a fake assassination, ML remembered who MC was and he apologized for forgetting her. Then they all went home.

    Overall MC and ML never lost faith in each other. They basically were like 1 person, same braincell and all. They ended up with twins and an adopted daughter (Le Yan) and helped LJ rule peacefully.

    This is about 4th prince life in the 1st timeline.

    So 4th prince got away with all his schemes and had MC. MC fell in love with him because of how badly the emperor treated the 4th prince. She felt bad for him and vowed to help him achieve his goals. 4th prince used her knowing this even though he hated her. Instead he wanted Lian Shiya because she was known to the the social flower. He wanted the best and whatnot. So after 4th prince became emperor, he knew that Lian Shiya schemed against MC. While he is a trash character, he is super smart (which is how he got general Xiao to align with him). He wanted to get rid of MC because he was constantly reminded of the past where he struggled and was unloved. So Lian Shiya and 4th prince killed her unborn baby and sent her off to the barn where she died. Afterwards, 4th prince found that he was unfulfilled and was constantly angry. He even started to dream about MC again but in his dreams he saw MC get together with ML and they were a family with Le Yan and he regretted letting her go. He even yelled out to come back. Lian Shiya became empress afterwards but once MC was gone, 4th prince didn't show her any favor and she was constantly fighting with the harem for her position. Basically they did not live good lives afterwards.

    4th prince in this life

    This man is a COCKROACH. You can nuke him and he would still LIVE. So as we all know, he wants MC because MC showed hostility towards him. He constantly tries to plot against her and ML (focusing on ML though because he thinks if he gets rid of him, MC would be heartbroken and whatever). But somewhere along the way, he falls for her and wants her. The big plot is how he conspired with the Xiao family to become emperor but MC and ML showed that Xiao family tried to commit treason. They were set to be executed but defected to the country next door (who was in a war with MC country). Emperor finally got fed up with him (between the plan to hurt Lian Jue, the emperor's new favorite son, the conspiracy with Xiao family, and a princess admitting that she helped him so that they could be the new emperor and Princess of Peace), he demoted 4th prince to a commoner and sent him to live in the rural north where he will herd sheep forever. After being sent away, the 4th prince literally goes 'as long as I live, I can come back and take the throne'. He acted crazy eating bugs and hanging out in sheep poop, he manages to fake his death and he roams around like a homeless person. Then he started to have dreams of his previous life. Because of the dreams where MC is so kind to him, he fell in love with MC and there is a fine line between love and hate. He then plots with the country next door to kidnap Lian LingYue (11th princess) and set fire to the Lian mansion to hurt MC. Everyone dies in it except Lingyue and Yan, because they were rescued by MC former maid (Icy/Green). He helps out a damsel in distress and has her start acting like MC. This led to another plot involving tricking ML to give over military plans to him so that he can give them to the country next door. But obviously ML doesn't fall for it because he knows his soulmate and it fails.

    Afterwards he is wanted by the emperor and people go to look for him. He wanders around some more before meeting up with the empress dowager from the country next door. He finds out about his mother, who he thinks is the empress dowager. He and the empress dowager sneak into the country with the envoy party and plot against MC and ML but as always, the plots fail. The emperor catches the 4th prince and executes him.***

    We learn about his origins too. The emperor has only loved 1 person, Zining. Before the emperor became the emperor, he was a prince who set off to a different region in hopes of making achievements. There he met a powerful General and his 2 daughters, one of them being Zining and the other being the empress dowager from the country next door. Zining and her sister dress up as men to learn the General ways but both fell in love with the emperor. Zining and the emperor had mutual love though. He almost gave up the throne for her because Zining didn't want to be stuck in a palace. She was a free spirit. But ultimately after going back to the capital, he fought and won the throne. During this time Zining was pregnant with the 4th prince. Through a plot, the emperor was drugged and had sex with the sister. The emperor was disgusted and made her drink the morning after soup but surprise surprise she still got pregnant. So the sister played it off like she and the emperor were in love too, breaking Zining's heart. Once Zining gave birth, she was too weak spiritually and physically. The sister knew that her child would never be loved by his father so she swapped her baby with Zining's. But unfortunately, the baby of the sister died after a year. I think Zining died too of poison via sister? Someone correct me on this. The emperor was super pissed and took the 4th prince telling the sister that he would torture her child hence why he was not loved as a child.

    When the emperor finally meets up with the sister again, he realized that the 4th prince is the son of his one true love. He felt bad for treating him so poorly so he fakes his execution and gives him a new face through a genius doctor. He then sends him away with the doctor promising to give him a good life with a high government position but ultimately dies before he can do so. Now the 4th prince has a new face and no idea what to do. He opens a clinic in his mom's hometown where he saves MC from the storm (read previous spoiler). He decided that since he can't have the throne, he wants to live with the person he wants aka MC. MC didn't realize who he was at first but slowly figures it out. During this period, he also found his daughter, Le yan, in someone else's body and saves her. Le Yan thinks that he is a kind benefactor and likes him a lot. Siyue decided to fulfill her revenge and during their met up, finally stabs him. Le Yan overhears them talk about him being her father and is conflicted. MC feeling bad towards her daughter who she couldn't protect in the last life tells her that if she wants to save the 4th prince, she will. Le Yan asks for time alone with her father and reveals who she is to him and tells him about her last life. 4th prince realizes his dreams were memories and asks for help saying that he will do better for MC and her (basically how they can be a real family this time). But Le Yan puts the final touches and poisons him. He regrets pretty much everything and dies. This happened super near the end of the story.

    Overall, I liked how he struggled every minute of the story. While his death was eh, he pretty much lived like shit for a long time :)

    If you have any questions, let me know and I can answer them. The story is a lot to go through and I didn't add the finer details.

    @letterstoyou , many, many thanks for sharing all of this plot development and information. I know it takes a lot of time and effort to provide these summaries.

    @Geedi , we know that MC and ml had their twins and mc’s first daughter from the previous life lived together as one family. They also supported the new emperor and empress to keep the kingdom stable. Not a bad ending at all. The villains received their comeuppance as well for all their bad deeds.

    @letterstoyou thank you so much man, I really appreciate it. I read about a 1000 chapters before stopping and always wondered about the amnesia plot and ending.

    I had a few questions if you could please answer whenever you have time, what happens to Xiao Hao? I remember he was in the neighboring Kingdom with the rest of his family but he's not really there by his choice and was in love with the real daughter (Lian Lingyue).

    There is also that girl from the neighboring kingdom that is in love with Xiao Hao. Was she innocent and used by the Empress Dowager, or was she also involved in the schemes? And was there any development in the relationship between her and Xiao Hao?

    Thanks a lot man

    Ya this story is A LOT. Took me 2 weeks of straight binge to finish. At one point I was annoyed by how many villains there were because seriously, they knew that MC was OP and still tested her. Brah.

    So this next bit is about the Xiao family. They all pretty much sucked except for the 2nd child, Xiao He.

    Xiao Zhenhai - General and Patriarch of Xiao Family
    So he is a classic villain. He aligns himself with 4th prince after realizing how smart this cockroach was for the throne. The general is like mid to high level boss. He constantly plots against MC and ML but fails almost every time. He almost got MC killed shortly after the asthma princess plot because framed MC for being a bad omen. The previous night, the emperor had a dream about a crow (which Xiao Zhenhai knew) and the next day, the emperor found a crow crying out in MC courtyard as he was leaving the Lian residence. Emperor put her in jail and was gonna sacrifice her until ML made a deal with Princess of Peace (if he takes the throne, he will give power to Princess of Peace so she will live just she is now) and they got MC off. Once the treason comes out though, Xiao Zhenhai aligned himself with the country next door to take down MC country and finally get rid of MC and ML. He went pretty much crazy and in the final battle, he died via Lian Jue, or also known as Feng Jue. While I didn't like him at all, I have to admit he had some values i.e only loved his wife and never had a concubine. He was a family oriented man, no matter how bad fights got between him and his second son, he still loved him.

    1st Son of Xiao Family - don't remember his name
    He was the heir to the Xiao family but dies pretty quickly. Not much about him except he tried to plot against MC but failed. MC managed to get him thrown in prison for writing an article that spoke badly about the emperor (MC got him drunk and he's stupid). He is in jail with 11th princess and dies in the fire that MC used to fake 11th princess death. MC was pissed that Xiao Zhenhai tried to kill her or her loved ones so she got even by killing his son. His death is the reason why Xiao Zhenhai is so focused on killing MC and ML.

    Xiao He - 2nd son of Xiao Family (one of my personal favorite characters in the story)
    So as I said, the only DECENT person in the family. He was well known in the country as the God of War. He made quite a lot of contributions in the army and has good values. His downfall honestly had to be that he loved too much. Since he was little, he fell in love with 11th princess because she was righteous and brave. 11th princess didn't even notice his feelings till way later but by then, she was in love with Lian Jue so she couldn't love him back. Xiao He, while not a bad person, aligned himself with his family and plotted against MC. He almost succeeded in killing MC and ML in an assassination plot because MC and ML jumped over a cliff but they survived. Xiao He tried to get 11th princess to marry him by asking for her hand from the emperor but his family did not agree because 11th princess of unloved. Xiao He had 2 major admirers, Concubine Shu's daughter (MC cousin/asthma princess) and the princess of the country next door. Feng YuanYao (asthma princess) was super in love with Xiao He and when she saw how he loved 11th princess, she started to plot against her. Xiao He made it clear though that he would never love her and he would always protect 11th princess even if she doesn't return his favor. Ultimately, Xiao He was in jail for his family treason but escaped with the help of 4th prince. At first, he was gonna take revenge by killing MC and ML but ML convinced him that he should look after his family and that MC had a reason for doing what she did. With that, he and his family escaped execution and defected to the country next door. The country next door was so receptive to the family because they wanted Xiao He to be their commander and general since he has proven himself in war. But XH is a nationalist and would not help the enemy country attack his own. So the Xiao Zhenhai and the prince of the enemy country tries to kidnap 11th princess to make him work for them. During this time, the princess of the enemy country fell in love with XH. She is a typical loved princess and unused to not being loved. XH made it very clear to her that he only loved 11th princess. While it seemed like she is a bad character, she was actually very kind and respectful to XH. She didn't force him to love her and only wanted to help him. The empress dowager however plotted against them and through the typical drug/one night plan, XH and the enemy princess were forced to marry. Enemy princess got framed and XH hated her since. She started to turn XH youngest brother for counsel. During this plot, the 11th princess somehow ended up in the enemy country (after the Lian Fire massacre, and running from her kidnappers). XH found her and set out to help her escape back to her own country. They had some pretty cute moments and honestly, he did SOOOOO much to help her because she was super useless. Right when they were escaping, enemy princess caught them but helped them escape because she rather he be free than tied to her. (SIMP). 11th princess offered to take XH with her but he was too loyal to his family and said he can't just leave them. Unfortunately, the 3rd brother got it wrong and leaked their escape plan to the father where XH was shot and almost died. In the end, XH managed to get help from Lian Jue (who realized during this period he loved 11th princess so he left the army to go find her in the enemy country) but was injured with 11th princess. This led to 11th princess getting amnesia after falling on her head. XH stayed with her in a secluded cabin with Lian Yan and took care of her (cooking, cleaning, hunting, and basically being a family). Lian Jue was heartbroken but respected XH enough to help 11th princess recover her memories. Once 11th princess got her memories back, XH went back to his family in the enemy country. He died in the final battle by 4th prince however. Lian Jue got the emperor to honor XH by restoring the Xiao family residence and letting the mom come back home. His tombstone is there and 11th princess is sad that she was never able to love him like he did.

    3rd son of Xiao family - name escapes me.
    Not much about him except that he fell in love with the enemy princess. Even though he knew that she only loved XH, he still wanted to help her with whatever, including getting XH. He leaked XH escape plans and plots against the 11th princess. He regrets it though once he realizes that XH was never planning to leave the family and saw how injured he got. He was a family type of guy and I think he died in the final battle as he wasn't mentioned again after.

    Xiao Rou- wife of 4th prince and only daughter of Xiao family
    I will start her off from where we left off in the manhua, which was she slept with the 4th prince during the celebration. She hates MC and uses people to plot against her. 4th prince hated that he had to marry her and on their wedding day, sent assassins to kill her so that he can frame ML. ML and MC saw through it and saved her. During this confusion however, MC got Lian Shiya to pretend to be XR so that he had to marry her. XR arrived and was pissed that Lian Shiya took her place. After some fighting, XR agreed for Lian Shiya to be a concubine and tortured her. 4th prince never slept with her on her wedding night or for months after until Xiao Zhenhai mentioned that 4th prince needs to treat XR well and give her a baby. I think they did it once, and she got pregnant. She gave birth to a son but the son was taken away by Xiao Zhenhai to be raised a revenge tool. 4th prince during this wandering phase managed to take away his son and hide him until ML found the son. ML gave the son a loving home in hopes that he does not end up like his father. After the final battle, XR joined an acting troupe and lived as a loose woman.

    Xiao Matriarch - Mother to Xiao kids
    She was the least notable in the family. She followed the dad around and moved countries after the treason arch. She was finally fed up with the dad and his obsessed revenge towards the end of the war. After the final battle, she moved back to MC country and lived in the family home by herself. She meets up with 11th princess a couple of times to give her XH's belongings and to honor his tomb. She didn't plot or do anything except try to keep their family together. Overall no opinions about her, just poor choice in husband I guess.

    Xiao He's story was a HUGE subplot. If MC was in a love triangle with ML and 8th prince, then Lian Lingyue was in a love triangle with Lian Jue and Xiao He. Only difference in Lingyue's story is that she is not as bad ass as MC. XH is a huge cinnamon roll though and you have to admire his dedication to Lingyue. It was to the point where it got pretty ridiculous in my opinion but I'm glad before he died, he got to spend a large amount of time as a family with her. He just wanted her to be his little wife :(

    So I forgot to mention this but here is more about Lingyue's life before the emperor found out that she wasn't his daughter.

    Empress -Mother of Lian Jue and adopted mother of Lian Lingyue
    She had 2 children, both sons. Her first son was the crown prince. He was smart, charming and supported originally by ML. Through 4th prince plotting though, he lost his title of crown prince and was banished to the cold palace. Once he lost his title, he ended up being depressed. ML lost the emperor's favor as well but managed to come back from it. He even got the emperor to release the crown prince of his punishment as well. The empress was upset at ML for being able to regain favor while her son couldn't and 4th prince manipulated her into plotting against him and MC. She tried to frame ML for doing something illegal by forging documents but ML debunked her on the spot because they did not use his real seal. When ML regained favor from the emperor, he asked for a new seal made by the emperor but no one knew that. So the empress was banished into the cold palace and Lingyue along with her. ML went to go speak with the empress calling her a fool because she fell for the 4th prince's plan. The empress started yelling about how ML got the crown prince de-titled and blamed him for it. ML told her that the emperor was gonna release him in 3 days but now that the empress was banished, he has no chance of making a come back. The empress cried and told him she was sorry and to please help the crown prince. ML is petty and was like nah, you deserve this for trying to hurt MC. She never recovered since and died a couple months later. In her sick bed, she told Lingyue that she was not her real mother and the 13th princess, Feng Yuanyao overheard. Yuanyao managed to use this secret to blackmail the 11th princess into doing what she wanted until she revealed that there was no blood relation between the emperor and Lingyue. Lingyue before was living in the cold palace, taking care of the empress. She lived pretty miserably with Xiao He helping her out by delivering her food and entertainment. Once the empress died, Lingyue got exposed and was sent to jail where MC rescued her.

    Regarding Feng Jue, 8th prince mom, Concubine Xuan got a fortune teller who said that the empress will give birth to the next emperor who will have a birth mark on his foot. So in order to solidify 8th prince future, she plotted and managed to steal Feng Jue shortly after the empress gave birth. Concubine Xuan thought he was dead but we all know that he ended up at the Lian residence. The empress's nanny felt bad about what happened and snuck in Lian Lingyue to replace the stole baby. They got swapped at birth basically. Why Lingyue looks so much younger than Lian Jue in the manhua, I will never know because they are born the same day. The empress died before having met Lian Jue but he never expressed much thought on her.

    The 8th prince is a WHOLE ass saga. If the 4th prince is boss level, the 8th prince is FINAL boss level. MC said how the 8th prince is actually a much stronger opponent than the 4th prince but died too early before revealing himself in the last life.

    My personal opinion is that 8th prince is the most complex character out here. If you didn't know, he is 2nd ML and a villain at the same time. If ML wasn't MC's other half, I would absolutely root for him.

    Concubine Xian - 8th prince mother
    So as I said before, she was responsible for the switcheroo with Feng Jue. She is a high level concubine in the palace and a trusted person of the emperor. What the emperor doesn't know is that she is quite a bad person. For the sake of enthroning 8th prince, she often causes miscarriages and trouble in the harem. This will ultimately lead her to her death. After during the event where it was revealed that Lian Jue was actually the 11th prince, CX managed to poison him through one of ML's admirers (she's not really relevant in the story tbh but a daughter of a high level government official). MC was able to reveal to the emperor that CX not only switch him at birth but also poisoned him and that she has the antidote. This led to CX losing favor from the emperor. When the 8th prince gets back from war, instead of receiving gifts and honor, he asked for his mother to be released from prison or the cold palace. But like all villains, she does not learn her lesson. Originally she liked the MC a lot and wanted her to be 8th prince's wife but once she knew that Lian Jue was her brother, she became enemies with MC. There were many plots involving CX and MC. One main example is that she tried to get MC to miscarry her twins. This is what led to MC plotting her death as MC revealed that CX caused many miscarriages in the palace which is a huge crime. She tried to push a wife onto him, Wei Ruhao. She was a daughter of a powerful family and overall spoiled brat. They tried but plot against MC but failed every time. Wei Ruhao is very much in love with the 8th prince but he did not reciprocate the feelings. In the end, CX and WH drugged 8th prince into sleeping with WR. 8th prince gave her the morning after pill but CX swapped it out so that if Wei Ruhao got pregnant, 8th prince would have to marry her. Unfortunately shortly after, MC managed to take down the Wei family (for plotting against her) and CX/8th prince were in trouble for having connections to them. This was a heartbreaking scene for me because after being exposed in front of the emperor, WR tried to kill MC with a hair pin and 8th prince protected MC by breaking WR wrist. Then WR asked why the 8th prince is protecting her when she is his woman. 8th prince was nervous of being mislabeled in front of MC but when he saw that MC didn't care, he was sad. :( After WR and the Wei family got placed in jail, CX let 8th prince know what she did and that Wei Ruhao might be pregnant. 8th prince knew he couldn't have a son with a sinner if he wanted to be the emperor and ultimately killed them both. This was a turning point in the 8th prince life as he had to do whatever he can to make this sacrifice worth it.

    After the pregnancy, 8th prince and CX had a falling out but even then, 8th prince tried to save CX from her death.

    I will post 8th prince story tomorrow because it's a lot and I have to review. I will say though that the 8th prince never wanted to hurt MC. He was desperately in love with her but life was not on his side. Everyone around him (his mother, uncles, grandfather, fiancee, brother), plotted against MC which made MC turn against him. Honestly, as a 2nd ML, he deserved more :( He just wanted MC to be with him and the throne but he got neither. If ML didn't literally crawl out of hell to be with MC, I would totally ship him and MC.

    @letterstoyou , thanks so much for more spoilers. I’m glad Feng Jue got justice for what CX did to him. Glad to see Feng Jue and MC stayed close. So sweet.

    Regarding 8th prince, well, didn’t MC reject him completely very early in the story? In the manhwa she always rejected him and it got worse after she suspected his mother of trying to kill Feng Jue.

    Yeah in the manhwa she is pretty blunt about rejecting and not liking the 8th prince. Speaking about the manhwa how far roughly into the story are we?

    MC has made it clear many many MANY times that she only loves ML but 8th prince still loves her. He a simpppp.

    We are very early on in the story but the manhua is not following the novel anymore :< So I don't know if they plan to incorporate the novel or do their own version of the story.
