The two returned together, but what greeted them was still massive opposition. Princess Mingzhu became everyone’s target of attack, but she didn’t care about having a status and accepted all the grievances she had to suffer silently in hopes that her sincerity could make them finally accept her. In the end, she managed to move the old madame who had been against this the most.
Princess Mingzhu became An You’s mistress. Everyone was moved by Princess Mingzhu’s bravery, fearlessness, and desire to be with An You even if it called for her death. Even the empress dowager ended up supporting her.
Meanwhile, Wei Lingxian started humiliating Princess Mingzhu in all sorts of ways and tormenting her. This woman who had pretty much lost everything took all her anger out on Princess Mingzhu, but Princess Mingzhu just silently endured everything in hopes that her true love would finally move Wei Lingxian.
Meanwhile, An Yu who liked Princess Mingzhu had his heart broken and in a fit of anger, got married. Following that, he ignored his new wife and rushed towards the battlefield.
An You knew about his son’s feelings and to protect him, headed to the battlefield with Princess Mingzhu. During the chaotic battle, for the sake of saving An Yu, he ended up killed by an arrow. It was only then that An Yu forgave his father.
When Princess Mingzhu saw that An You had died, she said wanted to die on the same year, month, and day as An You. She asked An Yu to take care of her younger brother, then sorrowfully committed suicide.
When the empress dowager found out about how Princess Mingzhu died, she was touched by Princess Mingzhu’s resolution and unwavering love, so she had Princess Mingzhu and An You buried in the same grave, leaving Wei Lingxian, this main wife, in an extremely awkward position.
Princess Mingzhu, who had eloped to the battlefield and had intercourse with a man during the time of mourning for her deceased family, actually ended up gaining the reputation for being courageous, strong, and unwaveringly loyal in life and in death after she died.
It put on an extremely fake ‘tragic love’ hat on this story that was basically about an old man and a naive young girl hurting everyone in the name of love.
Wei Lingxian ended up unloved by her husband, not respected by her children, and labeled as a jealous woman. She wouldn’t even be buried with her husband when she died because there was already a woman next to him.
Even if these two were already dead, they still made Wei Lingxian a laughingstock and forced her to live in suffering. She was now a woman that didn’t have a single thing. For as much as she was envied in the past, now she was pitied.
Her children both liked the mistress and even the woman her son married had a pit in her brain and was supportive of Princess Mingzhu. Her daughter-in-law even told her not to be so cruel towards Ming Zhu.
Yup, this story could be summed up as: I kindheartedly took in my daughter’s good friend who was orphaned, but my daughter’s good friend snatched my man and even stole my son’s heart, causing my entire family to fall apart and my husband to die.
