The Cold-Hearted Princess Who Transmigrated Here

Dongfang Yu estimated that it was around midnight, roughly the hour of Yin (3-5 AM). He felt somewhat satisfied at this point and realized that he couldn't push Xixi any further, as her physical strength had reached its limit.

It's her first time, and she's so delicate. Let's let her off this time. They have a lifetime ahead of them, and he'll have plenty of opportunities to make it up to her later.

Just as the young man finally stopped and hugged her to sleep, Wang Xiyue's consciousness became increasingly clear.

The chaotic images that had appeared in her dreams began to slowly come together, guided by some force.

……

Before long, her memories were fully restored.

Wang Xiyue smiled bitterly, feeling helpless. No matter how much she tried, she couldn't escape this nightmare!

It turned out that she was the little girl from her dream.

It turns out she was just a wisp of soul from another world.

It turns out that she was able to come here because in her previous life she saved a child and an old woman. The King of Hell gave her two choices, and she chose reincarnation.

It turns out her previous life was so tragic.

Her childhood experiences with her parents' arguments and fights instilled in her a fear of marriage.

Being bullied for a long time in her childhood gave her a greater psychological shadow towards men.

After becoming an adult, she suffered betrayal and domestic violence from her husband, which caused her to completely lose trust in men and love.

So that's how she got her "little brother"—he was the last soft spot and support in her heart, and her only emotional anchor.

No wonder when she saw Dongfang Yu for the second time, she couldn't help but mistake him for him. Even though he was wearing a mask, his sincerity and affection still gave her a sense of security.

Now she realized that the reason she felt Lu Song looked so familiar when she first met him was because he resembled the person she had a crush on in her youthful days in her previous life, someone she dared not confess to. Her self-awareness prevented her from taking the initiative to approach him.

Many years later, after they each had their own families, she belatedly realized that his attention and affection for her when they were young were so obvious and special, and that it was her inferiority complex that pushed him away.

Now she finally understood why the judge had forcibly sealed her memories.

If she is reborn with these memories, she will never be able to wholeheartedly accept a new lover, because her defensiveness has been deeply ingrained and integrated into her soul.

No matter who she meets, all she sees are their flaws and her own predictions about the future; she cannot love someone purely and simply.

"Child, once you truly integrate into that world, your memories will naturally return..."

"Only by letting go of the past can we move forward bravely..."

"Never dwell on the past..."

The judge was truly a prophet! He knew all along that being reborn with her memories intact would inevitably lead to a lonely and miserable life, so he made the decision for her.

To give her the ability to protect herself, a powerful force was sealed within her.

She could now clearly feel a surge of energy welling up in her chest.

She forced herself to sit up despite her discomfort and began to regulate her breathing, channeling all her internal energy to guide the flow of this energy within her body.

Gradually, she found that all the aches and pains in her body disappeared, and the various marks left on her skin by Dongfang Yu gradually faded and eventually disappeared.

She felt full of power throughout her body, as if she had inexhaustible energy.

Wang Xiyue gently got off the bed, stretched her body, picked up her clothes from the floor, and took out a small bottle of sleeping potion from her sachet.

She then returned to bed, lay down on her side next to Dongfang Yu, placed the sleeping pill on the tip of his nose, let him inhale a suitable amount, and then pulled it back.

Seeing the man who had seemed to be waking up fall back into a deep sleep, she finally felt relieved and wrapped her arms around his waist again, nestling herself in his embrace and resting her head on his arm.

"Dongfang Yu, what should I do?"

"I love you, so much, I'd give my life for everything you have. But what if, in the future, your love also suddenly disappears like that other person? What will I do then?"

"Sorry, sir!"

"I think I can already see our future: one day, you will stop loving me, fall in love with another woman, think that I am full of flaws and inferior to others, and we will go our separate ways and become enemies who will never see each other again."

“I used to hear people say that 99% of men are not loyal. They are genuine when they love, and they are genuine when they don’t love. I didn’t believe it at first, but I experienced it deeply in my previous life. That relationship was unforgettable and also caused me great pain.”

"I feel very dirty now, my heart is dirty, full of filth. I can't see any hope or beauty in love. All I see is tragedy and misfortune."

"You might argue that my father and brother are loyal and affectionate people, but that's not you, and it's not me!"

“I’ve always felt like an unfortunate person, and I don’t dare to gamble that I’m the only lucky woman. I don’t dare to have hope, because I’m afraid that starting with hope will end in despair.”

"If the future is really that cruel, then I would rather cut off all possible futures now."

Love is so elusive, it can't be grasped or controlled!

“I’m afraid that we will really end up like that. I would rather leave now with love than wait until one day to taste the bitterness of despair.”

"I admit I'm cowardly. I know my own limitations. I don't have the perfect personality of my mother and sister-in-law. I have a bad temper; I'm neither gentle nor considerate. I like to do things my own way; I like to be carefree and unrestrained... I'm so different; I can't fit in with people, and I probably won't be able to adapt to life in the palace. I'm probably destined to be a lone star!"

"Maybe it won't be long before you get tired of my body, after the initial infatuation fades, you'll slowly discover one of my shortcomings after another."

"Then, by then, your tolerance had diminished, and your eyes were filled with impatience, devoid of any love."

"I cherish beautiful memories. I can't bear the thought that one day you'll look at me with disgust or hatred in your eyes."

"It's better to be strangers than to become enemies who hate each other, so that we don't hurt each other."

"I think there are countless women in this world, and in the future you will be honored as the emperor. When you have three thousand beauties in your harem, you will always find a woman who is a hundred or a thousand times better than me to accompany you for the rest of your life."

"Even if no woman can stay with you for a long time, you can still choose from all kinds of girls, from plump to slender, gentle, dignified, cute, sexy, etc., which is enough to satisfy your desire for novelty for a lifetime."

"Perhaps by then, you'll thank me for leaving early today!"

"So, Dongfang Yu, let's end this here!"

"From now on, we shall never meet again! May we both be well!"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"

Perhaps separation is another kind of reunion for us!

Wang Xiyue's tears streamed down her face, one drop after another falling onto Dongfang Yu's shoulder, so hot that even the sleeping Dongfang Yu couldn't help but tremble.

Wang Xiyue looked up and carefully examined Dongfang Yu's sleeping face, tracing his eyebrows, nose, eyes, cheeks, and lips with her hands again and again. She wanted to imprint this face deeply in her heart forever, for all eternity.

Even knowing that her drug was very potent, she dared not delay, as she didn't have much time left.

So she gently covered him with the blanket, then hurriedly got up, picked up her clothes one by one from the floor, and quickly put them on.

She placed the jade seal he had given her under his pillow, and then put the Buddhist prayer beads she had once given away around her neck.

Return the property to its original owner!

It looks like nothing happened!

Actually, this is fine!

She tried to hold back, but couldn't resist lowering her head and kissing his lips.

"Sorry, sir, I'm leaving!"

After saying goodbye, Wang Xiyue quietly walked towards the door. She already had a plan in mind. With this power, her strength should now be similar to Mo Yun's. If her energy were to recover, she should far surpass everyone in the Xianwang Mansion.

At that time, none of them should be able to stop her or keep up with her movements, making it easier for her to leave.

She opened the secret room and left the study, but a voice from a shadowy corner called out, "Your Highness?"

Wang Xiyue was startled. She thought there shouldn't be any guards at this hour. She took a few steps into the shadows and stood sideways.

She tried her best not to let Shadow see her face or appearance, fearing he would notice something was wrong, and said calmly, "Shadow, Dongfang Yu got drunk last night and is sleeping in the secret room. He should wake up in another two or three hours."

"I... now... want to go back to Moonflower Pavilion and get some rest!"

Shadow saw that the princess was wearing the prince's cloak, and her head and face were covered by the hood. Because it was dark and the princess was standing in the shadows of a tree, he did not dare to look closely. He simply bowed and said, "Your Highness, the palace will activate its array and restrictions tonight. I will take you there."

Wang Xiyue was shocked. She hadn't expected Dongfang Yu to be so thorough in his protection. Luckily, she hadn't wandered off.

It's nighttime now, making it difficult for her to spot any traces of the formation. Her mind is in turmoil, making it even harder. She's getting anxious. "Okay, you lead the way, I'll follow. Hurry!"

Shadow felt that the princess was a little different today. Ever since the prince brought the princess back, she had been very friendly and approachable to them, her subordinates.

But tonight, the princess was very aloof, just like the princess he and the prince met for the first time when they went to the prime minister's residence two years ago. She was polite but distant, as if they were strangers.

Shadow was afraid the princess wouldn't be able to keep up, so he deliberately slowed down. However, he found that the princess was much faster than he had expected. Basically, wherever he landed, the moment his foot left, the princess's foot would already be in the same spot.

There was no other way but to secretly increase his speed, and Wang Xiyue easily kept up.

What would normally take the time it takes to burn an incense stick to walk, would take the time it takes to brew a cup of tea to use light-footed skills.

However, that night, under the invisible pressure from the princess, Shadow brought the princess to Moonflower Pavilion in less than half a cup of tea's time.

Shadow personally opened the door to Moonflower Pavilion. "Your Highness, please!"

Wang Xiyue slipped inside, and behind the door with her back to An Ying, she instructed, "An Ying, I'm very tired today and need to rest well tomorrow. No one is allowed to disturb me, including His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Shadow felt the prince's imposing aura enveloping him, and he quickly knelt on one knee. "Your Highness, I will instruct others not to approach this place, and I will also inform the Crown Prince of your instructions."

Wang Xiyue hummed in agreement, raised her hand, and with a gust of wind, the door was closed.

Wang Xiyue locked the door, then channeled her energy into her right hand. A tangible ball of energy floated in her palm, seemingly glowing faintly white. "I never imagined that profound internal energy could bring so many benefits."

She had deliberately sped up just now to see how much of a difference there was between her and Shadow, but it turned out to be effortless.

Compared to my past self, my internal strength has increased by more than double.

Wang Xiyue quickly went back to her room to get clean clothes, then went to the bathroom. As soon as she soaked in the bath, she couldn't help but think of the scene where Dongfang Yu held her here last time, and then she thought of everything that happened in the secret room tonight.

She shook her head, forcing herself not to think about it anymore. She quickly washed herself up and put on a simple and neat navy blue outfit that would make it easy to travel.
