"That's because, Miss, your birth was truly sensational. Plus, the high monk said you were destined for great fortune, so the Empress arranged a marriage with the Yun Family right then. She said that when you turned sixteen, you'd be brought into the palace to marry the Third Prince and become his Princess Consort. So you..." Tina didn't dare to continue.
"Ha, so I was obsessed with that Third Prince, acted outrageously, and did all sorts of embarrassing things, right?" Zara Yun said helplessly.
Those transmigration novels always write it like this!
Exactly, it's just that dramatic!
So, her life is just as dramatic!
Seriously, what a ridiculously dramatic life!
Tina couldn't help saying, "Miss, you really should let it go! The Third Prince's heart clearly belongs to the eldest Miss! Why bother?"
"Yeah, why should I?" Zara Yun laughed freely. "Alright, don't worry! That fall I took was just what I needed! From now on, I’m done with all those feelings—whether it's the Third Prince or any other prince, I couldn’t care less!"
In her previous life, she was already a Princess—she’d seen all the wealth and glory there was.
In this life, being the Princess Consort to the Third Prince? She really couldn’t care less!
What does she have to be interested in anymore?
Of course... she just wants to live freely!
Zara Yun quietly clenched her fist.
This life, she was determined to live according to her own wishes!
After Tina told Zara Yun everything she knew, she quietly left.
Lying in bed, Zara Yun processed all the news she’d gathered, gradually accepting this fictional world and her new reality.
Even if she didn’t want to accept it, she had no choice!
She came back to life—there’s no way she could just die again, right?
Just as expected, the Lady of the Grant Family completely ignored Zara Yun. She simply sent an old maid to check on her, said a few indifferent words, and left behind a gift that was neither generous nor stingy—just enough to fulfill her duty.
Zara Yun didn’t care at all.
The things she wanted, she always fought for herself—not something handed to her by others!
She needed to recover slowly, and once she reached her peak again, then...
Thinking of this, Zara Yun quietly clenched her fist.
By then, no one would be able to bully her so easily.
Time flew by—before she knew it, a whole month had passed.
During that month, Zara Yun didn’t step outside at all—she spent every day at home, focusing on her recovery training.
Her young, energetic new body helped Zara Yun rediscover her old self.
After years of battle, she knew exactly how to take care of herself.
In just a month, not only had she fully regained her health, but she also recovered her old agility.
But her foundation was still too weak—she was nowhere near her peak yet!
But even so, none of the little maids or old servants in the manor could match her anymore.
Just as Zara Yun was sweating from her training, a young maid rushed in and said, "Our manor really is the forgotten corner. It's so lively outside today, but no one told our Miss! No matter what, our Miss is still the legitimate daughter of Grant Manor."
Zara Yun set down the stone hammer she'd been using to train her arms, wiped the sweat from her brow, and asked, "What's going on outside that's got you so upset?"
"Miss, you have no idea! Today, the Marquis invited the most distinguished gentlemen in the capital as guests. The eldest Miss stole the show—reciting poetry, painting, dancing. Prince Adrian couldn’t take his eyes off her! But the one who’s actually engaged to Prince Adrian is you, Miss!" said the maid, Shea, the last of the four named after garden architecture.
Zara Yun looked indifferent, "I thought it was something serious! I’m not interested. Even if you ask me to go, I won’t!"
Shea pouted, "You’re not interested in those gentlemen, but what about Lord Lucian?"
"Who’s Lord Lucian?" Zara Yun couldn’t help but ask. "Why do you all light up whenever you mention him?"
"Oh, Miss! He’s the most handsome man in the Glory Empire!" Tina couldn’t help but chime in. "That golden hair—who knows how many girls he’s made swoon! But Lord Lucian never smiles. Everyone wonders, if he ever did, how breathtaking it would be!"
Tara couldn’t help but ask, "Doesn’t Lord Lucian never attend these banquets? Why did he come today?"
"I heard the Marquis found a miracle medicine that can cure Princess Ling’s stubborn illness. That’s why Lord Lucian came to Grant Manor for it," Tina explained.
