Because of the remark that she possessed a “physique destined to bear sons,” Shen Lingshu was bestowed upon Prince Lin as a low-status concubine.
Her legitimate elder sister, Shen Lingyi, who had married into a high position as the Crown Prince’s Side Consort, mocked her and wished her an early expansion of her family tree. Yet, everyone in the capital knew that Prince Lin was barren.
Shen Lingshu sneered in her heart: When the Crown Prince is deposed and Prince Lin ascends the throne, I hope my dear sister will still be able to smile.
A malevolent Side Consort? Jealous concubines? The future Princess Consort using her as a shield? Shen Lingshu simply brushed them aside. As a former “Best Actress,” she would craft the exact persona the future Emperor loved most. It didn’t matter if there was no love; glory, wealth, and honor were more than enough!
