The story revolves around a transmigrated doctor from the 21st century. She entered a body of the degraded concubine daughter of a marquis' household. The female lead was the prettiest among her sisters and was able to catch the sixth and seventh prince's attention. She started countering her evil sisters while meeting the princes in a coincidence. Her adventurous and modern knowledge kept both prince brothers interested. However, no love will strengthen without a calamity. That is where Song Cha Hua enters the picture. She will try every means to separate Lin Xingjin and the female lead without knowing she is causing the two to love each other more.

[Host...]

"Yes?" Hong Cha nonchalantly asked. Two years had passed and she took good care of her body. She must have exceeded the original appearance of Song Cha Hua. Her body is slim and voluptuous. Her skin is red with just a small light from the sun. Her eyes were almond-sized and sparkly. Even more than that, even maids gets conscious just by looking at her supple red lips.

As of now, she is enjoying a princess-like life. Hong Cha lies on a divan outside the residence with an umbrella above her. A table of fruits and delicacies are set next to the divan. The summer heat and cool breeze from her garden is quite good for her appetite. This place is heaven!

[Host, it has been two years. Aren't you going to do something?]

"Of course. Im doing nothing for something." she could care less of what the system wants to say. Hong Cha enjoyed eating the grapes. "Don't be impatient. My hairpin ceremony is by tomorrow and I will meet the male lead and female lead again. But, guess what?"

[What?]

"I read from the plotline that the villain will also attend! Isn't that great? I, as the villainess will get to meet the villain! I wonder what can happen? Should I ask for his tips on how to be mean? Or does he have any 'villain convention'?" Hong Cha was excited. The villain of the story is also one of the male leads. He is the pillar of Zhou Dynasty, one of the greatest minister. His role was to force the female lead. The prince was enraged after knowing this and has no choice but to eradicate him.

However, the female lead got abducted by a foreign prince that needs her assistance for curing his illness. The villain is the grand general of Zhou so he took action first than the prince. He found the female lead and brought her back to Zhou. In those short days, the female lead took a liking to him and struggled whether to choose the foxy prince or the beastly general. The prince and the villain were locked in a fight for her affection. In the end, the villain tried to usurp the throne but the female lead betrayed him and had him killed.

Sigh, villains lived short lives.

Her hairpin ceremony arrived the next day. A lot of her relatives and special guests came. Including the female lead who looked very loved by the seventh prince. They came at the same time, even holding each others hands. For the original Song Cha Hua, this would be a slap on the face. But for Hong Cha, she would rather say; Oh, please don't. You're feeding us poisoned dog foods, ah.

Hong Cha's hair was tied up traditionally with the ceremonial hairpin to hold it upwards. She received greeting for completing the ceremony. Her eyes scanned the place to see the Lin Xingjin chatting with the female lead. Hong Cha positioned her veil well to keep it from falling off. She strode towards the couple with the bearing of an elegant young miss. Though her face was covered, her body is enough to cause a commotion. Since her engagement was dissolved, a lot of young masters went to Song Yue and ask for her hand in marriage.

"Prince Brother." she called out and stopped in front of them. Lin Xingjin and the female lead Zhao Xue turned to her. Hong Cha removed her veil and looked up. Silence conquered the whole room.

Is this the hidden young miss?! How come the seventh prince chose a concubine's daughter than an entrancing lady like her?

Zhao Xue is already a beautiful woman with a mature bearing. But when standing next to Song Cha Hua, she is like a maid.

"Cha Hua? You look different than before." Lin Xingjin calmly said. He also didn't expect she will turn like this after two years.

"Prince Brother, you never visited me again after that fateful day. Why is it?" Hong Cha tilted her head. She smiled sweetly and raised her tone slightly. "I remember how Prince Brother used to look after me back then. However, those days were in the past. I heard Prince Brother offered another engagement to a shu-born young miss?"

"Ehm..." he took a pause and looked at Zhao Xue. She nodded then held his hand. Hong Chan stared at their intertwined hands with evident anger from her eyes. "She already cut her ties with her previous family."

Hong Cha went silent. She looked at Zhao Xue and raised a brow. "As I see it, she fits to be Prince Brother's maid. No wonder Prince Brother broke the engagement. Prince Brother prefers an illegitimate young miss. I apologize since I am not qualified for Prince Brother's standards." Song Cha Hua is a legitimate daughter. However, the first wife died when she gave birth to her so her father resolved into spoiling her to fill the emptiness in her heart.

Her sharp words infuriated Zhao Xue. They locked gazes and sparks erupted. "Young Miss, I think I know why Seventh Prince dissolved it. His Highness must have thought your attitude contrasted with your deceitful face." she is a mature woman. How can she back out?

"Since when did I deceive someone? Prince Brother, did I ever lie to you?" Hong Cha turned to Lin Xingjin. Now, Mr. Male Lead, what will you do? If he lies, Hong Cha will fall into the pit she dug. If he tells the truth, he can stay in good terms with the imperial tutor.
