Aromatic Flesh

Chapter 1: System

Even at the end of her short and unfortunate life, still Gu MingYue could not understand what exactly had happened.

As the daughter of Zhou Guo’s Elder Princess and the royal niece of the current emperor, Gu MingYue was known to be the most beautiful and poised woman in the country. She was known for her elegance and beauty, together with the natural flowery scent that lingered over wherever she went.

Of course, she had a fairly high status in the country, as she had been given the name Princess YuHua by her uncle at the age of ten.

Not to mention that she had always been an exceptionally bright child. One could test her in every field, no matter if it’s of musical instruments, or poems and literature, there was nothing she had not mastered.

But still, even though she had been born with talent, she had not once rejected the opportunity to study how to be a proper lady, and in addition to her gentle nature, it was not an exaggeration to say that she was the model lady of the country.

But this was the exact reason why she could not understand what went wrong, why was her ending so miserable, and her poor mother, who had her royal status taken from her and forced to live out her retirement as a slave.

Gu MingYue’s soul lingered in midair as she watched the little white lotus married her ex-husband, and one by one, seducing all the powerful men of the country, there was the prime minister, the leader of the WuLin society, the powerful saint of the cult, the godly doctor, even Gu MingYue’s very own elder brother, Gu MingYu!

She watched as all of the men, though knowing that she’s a married woman, fall in love with her and spoiled her to no ends. They would do anything for her, just for a smile, or a passionate (shameless) fuck…

Gu MingYue watched unblinkingly, as if she was a mere bystander, though she was still utterly confused, her heart eventually calmed down. It no longer bothered her that her cold and expressionless ex-husband would smile so warmly at the presence of the white lotus; or the fact that her brother, knowing that the little white lotus was their half-sister, but still he continued to engage in shameless activities with her.

It did not bother Gu MingYue at all, the way all these men accepted each other, just so the little white lotus would be happy. They pampered her to the heavens, and gave her everything they had…

But still, it just did not make sense.

Until one day, the peace was finally shattered. The little white lotus had stopped her brother from taking care of their sick mother, not only did she not allow him to take care of Mother. And when he had finally given in to her request to go shopping with her, she had thrown a huge tantrum, crying at this heartlessness when he told her that he wished to wait for a caretaker servant to arrive before they leave for the marketplace.

To think that his brother would be so heartless! Their mother had always made sure to provide them with the best of everything, even personally taking care of them whenever one of them fell sick.

To think that he would abandon their mother for this woman!? Just because she cried!?

Even when her wonderful sister-in-law, who was gravely worried for their mother, carried their child with her as she knelt before Gu MingYue’s main door, begging him to send a doctor to see their mother, he had only thrown her out of the house with a divorce letter.

And his lack of action had cost their mother’s life, as she passed away in pain.

To think that her brother was someone with little to no morals and common sense. Such an unfilial man, with no loyalty to anyone at all!
