"@#￥%！" The curse was foul and unbearable.

"Let me tell you, if you don't behave, don't blame me for sending a letter back home. Your aunt and those two bastards won't die a good death. Don't forget why you entered the palace in the first place."

A woman with a twisted, distorted face pointed at another woman dressed in pink who was lying on the ground and cursed viciously. 

The woman on the ground had lifeless eyes. If it weren't for the rise and fall of her chest, one might have thought she had died.

"If you can't fulfill your duty, then neither you nor your bastard siblings deserve to live."

The woman in a light blue palace dress threw down this sentence and turned to leave. Her departing steps carried a hint of joy, as if her desired outcome was imminent.

Once she left the cramped room with her entourage, two palace maids hurried inside. Seeing the lifeless woman on the ground, both of their eyes reddened.

"My lady, you mustn't let anything happen to you," one of the maids rushed forward, supporting the woman into her arms and gently brushing the ashes off her clothes.

"Yes, my lady, you must stay strong. Don't let the eldest miss have her way. Think of your aunt, and think of the little master and third young miss back home," the other maid's face was filled with tension and worry, but her words caused the expressionless woman's body to tremble.

Bai Jingxian had just been forced to endure the humiliation from the departing woman, and her consciousness had just gradually returned. However, she simply couldn't make her body respond.

In that brief moment, she had also absorbed all of the original host's memories.

Heh, a pawn in the fight for favor. They were too confident. With this face of hers, they thought she'd only be a pawn in the harem???

And those ministers... Who knows what the original host did to offend them? They even united to demand her execution during the selection process because her beauty was too captivating.

Ridiculous.

A group of men afraid of a beautiful woman?

What, do beautiful women all deserve to die?

Lacking self-control, and then blaming everything on the woman when things go wrong?

Luckily, the emperor was intrigued. The collective plea from the ministers to execute her piqued his interest.

The original host might not have understood, but as a diehard fan of palace dramas, Bai Jingxian saw through it immediately. The instigators were clearly the ones with their children already in the harem!

The loudest of them all were the civil officials, led by Chancellor Tan.

The original host was sheltered and knew nothing about this. She only learned of her brush with death through palace gossip.

And with her legitimate sister picking a fight, she died on the spot due to shock.

"Help me to bed." Bai Jingxian was never one to be trifled with. She didn't provoke trouble, but anyone who messed with her never had a good ending.

Even her own parents were no exception.

Take this current situation—she had died young precisely because of her cold-heartedness, ruthlessness, and lack of compassion.
