The imperial palace has high walls, neat palaces, strict guards and is solemn and dignified.

On a bed in a side hall, a woman nestled in the arms of a man about thirty-five years old. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes like autumn water, her skin smooth as cream. Her every frown and smile held a unique charm, her allure like a blooming poppy.

"What? The prince is not dead?" At this moment, she jumped up from the man's arms, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes, just like a sharp blade with a hidden edge, which made people feel afraid. There was an awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty, as if it could put those who disobeyed to death in an instant.

At this moment, the man sitting on the bed also stood up. He took the woman in his arms with his right hand. "Ling'er, don't worry. I've sent people to hunt him down!" The man spoke in the gentlest tone, yet the coldest words were spoken. His eyes, as deep as a cold pond, revealed a fierce look.

The woman called Ling'er immediately changed her tone and said tenderly, "Your Highness, please do not be soft-hearted this time, or Li'er and I will never be able to make it!"

"Don't worry, Ling'er. The Crown Prince is weak. Even if he fakes his own death and escapes, it won't change the situation. I won't let you and Li'er be inferior to others. If you're really worried, I'll send more masters to hunt him down!" Then, with a greedy look on his face, he said, "Don't worry about him. It's rare for me to enter the palace. Let's do what we need to do!"

"You're so bad!" the woman said coquettishly, and then the two of them embraced each other and made love...

The morning light was just breaking, a thin mist filled the fields, and simple thatched huts were scattered around. Wang Xinyao was awakened by a burst of noise.

"Ah, it hurts..." She felt a sharp pain, as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer. The pain instantly spread throughout her body like an electric current, and every inch of her skin screamed. The part that was struck felt like it was on fire, as if it were deeply pierced by countless steel needles, and the pain made her gasp.

"You bitch, you jinx who brings bad luck to your husband, it's all because of you that Xie Aniu died, and you're still asking me for money? I'll beat you to death, you jinx..."

Wang Xinyao opened her eyes slightly and saw a woman about 50 years old with a stern face. Her triangular eyes were full of fierce light. Her lips kept spitting out vicious words. Her face exuded a chilling ferocious look. She waved her strong hands and kept punching the thin Wang Xinyao.

In the corner of the yard gate stood a thin woman in her twenties who looked malnourished for a long time. She was holding a two-month-old baby girl in her left hand and a five-year-old girl named Xie Xiaoduo in her right hand. The little girl was shivering beside the woman's legs.

This is Li Cuihua, the wife of Xie Erzhu, the second son of the Xie family. She said with some reluctance, "Mom, stop hitting me. If you continue, my sister-in-law will be beaten to death." She spoke in a low voice and looked at her mother-in-law timidly, fearing that she would be angered by her mother-in-law if she was not careful.

As expected, Mother Xie not only continued waving her hands, but also glanced at her daughter-in-law, and kept cursing: "You are not a good thing either. You only gave birth to money-losing things. There are so many chores waiting for you to do at home, and you still have the nerve to stand here and watch? If you dare to say another word, I will beat you too."

When Li Cuihua saw her mother-in-law's wolf-like eyes looking at her, she was so scared that she trembled like her own daughter and dared not say anything.

Wang Xinyao was beaten by the old woman and looked confused. What happened?

Wang Xinyao's father, a narcotics officer, tragically died heroically during a crackdown on a drug lord. Her mother remarried in the United States. She grew up with her aunt, whose uncle was the hospital director. From a young age, Wang Xinyao and her cousin assisted her uncle. Over 20 years of experience, her medical skills surpassed her father's. However, after graduation, she chose to follow in her father's footsteps and become one of China's most accomplished narcotics officers.

During this mission, she was betrayed by her boss (her boss was bribed by the drug lord) and fell off a cliff. In order to save herself, she grabbed a tree on the edge of the cliff and climbed into a cave. There was a mausoleum in the cave. In front of the mausoleum was a diamond ring emitting colorful light. Because the diamond ring was so beautiful, she couldn't help but put it on her hand. Her soul followed the light of the diamond ring and shuttled to the body of the beaten 16-year-old girl.

"Did I travel through time?" Wang Xinyao shook her head, and memories that did not belong to her flooded into her mind.

This young girl, also known as Wang Xinyao, was separated from her father at the age of five. After changing hands several times, she was sold by human traffickers to the county magistrate's daughter as a maid. At the age of 12, the magistrate's daughter, Gou Chunmei, heard a servant say Wang Xinyao was beautiful. She slashed her face with a knife and then had her thrown from a cliff. Fortunately, she survived and was rescued by Xie Aniu, who was hunting on the mountain.

Xie Aniu was 30 years old at the time and had three daughters (Xie Dahahua, Xie Erhua, and Xie Xiaohua). His wife died of complications during childbirth when giving birth to Xie Xiaohua. Wang Xinyao was only 6 years older than Xie Dahahua. Xie Aniu was a good hunter, and there was no one to take care of the children after his wife died, so Wang Xinyao stayed in this family.

Later, after much persuasion from Mrs. Xie, Wang Xinyao agreed to become the child's stepmother in order to repay Xie Aniu for saving her life. She thought her life would be stable, but unexpectedly, the day before the wedding, Xie Aniu encountered a tiger while hunting in the mountains. Although he killed the tiger, he himself was seriously injured and eventually died of wound infection in less than half a month.

When Xie's wife learned that Xie Aniu was seriously injured and could not be cured, she embezzled all the money from the tiger sale and the 100 taels of silver reward from the county government for killing the tiger. Fearing that Wang Xinyao would want a share of the money, she immediately separated Wang Xinyao's family from her family after Xie Aniu was buried. Apart from the courtyard where she had lived, she was given only three acres of dry land.

Wang Xinyao and her three sisters lived a difficult life. At first, Xie Aniu saved some food and dug up some wild vegetables to get by, but after half a year, the family had nothing. Since the tiger incident, the Xie family's life has been prosperous. Wang Xinyao went to ask for help many times, but it was useless. It was only when her father-in-law Xie Bohong secretly sent some things that they could get by.

Xie Aniu is the son of Xie Baihong's ex-wife, and Xie Baihong is 15 years older than Xie Pozi. Since Xie Aniu's death, the elderly Xie Baihong has no status in the family (life expectancy was generally not long in ancient times, and 60 years old was considered a long life), and all financial power is in the hands of Xie Pozi.

This time, Xie Xiaohua caught a cold and had a fever, so Wang Xinyao had no choice but to go to her for help. Mrs. Xie didn't want to give her money, so she verbally abused her and beat her up. The thin girl, who had been malnourished for a long time, couldn't stand her punches, and the original owner was beaten to death. Then, Wang Xinyao's soul traveled to this body.

After sorting out all the things, Wang Xinyao's face turned cold, and in an instant, it was like a cold blade being unsheathed. Her stern eyes looked straight at Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie was shocked. After pausing for a moment, she flew into a rage again. She raised her thick arms and hit Wang Xinyao again, cursing non-stop: "You lowly creature, you ugly freak, you jinx! You dare to glare at me? I'll beat you to death..."

Wang Xinyao reacted quickly. Just as the fist was about to strike, she grabbed Xie Pozi's arm with her backhand. Then, without hesitation, she slapped Xie Pozi's face hard with her right hand.

The moment Wang Xinyao let go, Mrs. Xie staggered back a few steps and then fell heavily to the ground. A trace of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, and she looked very embarrassed.

Wang Xinyao shook her hands, sighing inwardly. This body's physical condition was truly poor. Just one slap had already caused her hand to ache. She frowned helplessly, realizing she had to find a way to improve her condition.

Mrs. Xie, who had fallen to the ground, was stunned at first, but then she quickly reacted. She suddenly got up from the ground and cursed in anger, "You lowly bastard, you dare to hit me? I'll fight you!" She shouted and rushed towards Wang Xinyao, trying to swing her arms again.

Wang Xinyao looked at Mrs. Xie who was rushing towards her, and she decisively raised her foot and kicked Mrs. Xie, who was kicked out again.

Although Wang Xinyao's body is weak, she was once an elite police officer and worked hard on martial arts. Even though her body is not in good condition, with her solid martial arts skills, it is no problem for her to deal with Mrs. Xie.

"Oh, my waist, my waist..." Mother Xie collapsed to the ground, howling in agony. Her face was filled with anger and resentment as she shouted, "You lowly bastard, how dare you hit me? This is outrageous! I'm your mother-in-law, how dare you be so disobedient and unfilial?" Her voice was sharp and piercing, full of accusations and domineering, as if to completely suppress Wang Xinyao's resistance.

Then, with great difficulty, Mrs. Xie sat up and slapped the ground with both hands, making a loud "pa pa" sound. She cried out at the top of her lungs, "Everyone, come and see! This is outrageous! This unfilial, lowly person actually hit my mother-in-law!"
