The wicked imperial concubine is courting death again; the comments section teaches her how to win w

[Ahhh, my daughter's here! Finally, I don't have to watch the female supporting character anymore! Baby Changchang, let me give you a kiss!]

[High-energy warning: The only true saint in this book has arrived.]

[Haha, every time the female lead and the female supporting character get together, it's either a rivalry between them or they're on their way to one. Isn't it annoying!]

[Whose fault is this? Our daughter is kind and gentle, it's all because of that vicious supporting character Qi Yitang who targets her at every turn.]

As the female protagonist of the original novel, Ning Nishang certainly deserves the title of "saintly mother".

—In a positive sense.

She was gentle, kind, beautiful, and harmless, like a newly blossoming epiphyllum, surrounded by an aura. Just standing there so delicately, she evoked pity.

Qi Yitang was the center of attention from a young age and couldn't stand the preferential treatment her family gave Ning Nishang. The more they protected her, the angrier she became.

They took away her favorite things, and stuffed caterpillars into her blankets...

You could say she does anything immoral.

However, even when Qi Yitang deliberately twisted her ankle, Ning Nishang would only smile gently.

"It's okay, Tangtang didn't do it on purpose."

"It's alright, Tangtang, you choose first."

"Let's send all the pastries to Tangtang..."

She genuinely felt it didn't matter. After her parents died, Ning Nishang had no choice but to live under someone else's roof. She was physically weak and emotionally sensitive. It was already a blessing that her aunt and uncle treated her as their goddaughter. She didn't want to cause any more unhappiness in the family.

But in the eyes of Qi Yitang, the vicious supporting female character, all of this was seen as her using retreat as a means of advancement, being pretentious and affected!

Therefore, she became even more ruthless in targeting the female lead, causing her to drift apart from her family.

Memories of the past were right between her brows, and Qi Yitang wiped her face.

What has she been doing?!

At this moment, Ning Nishang pursed her lips, seemingly hesitant. "I'll go back and pack my things now, Tangtang, don't be angry. I didn't mean to take over your yard..."

[Even living in a secluded courtyard, she's worried about upsetting the female supporting character; my dear daughter is so kind.]

[This is so frustrating, so incredibly frustrating! It makes me want to punch them!]

[Absolutely! She's targeted by a malicious female supporting character and has a fickle, scumbag male lead. The female lead is truly pitiful...]

The comments section was filled with people expressing their sympathy for Ning Nishang, while Qi Yitang was like a dung beetle crawling all over the place—unable to find any dung.

What courtyard? What's wrong?

Meeting her questioning gaze, Qi Jiyun closed his folding fan, chuckled awkwardly, and touched the tip of his nose.

"Well, about two weeks ago, my cousin's Tingxue Pavilion caught fire and was mostly destroyed. Since no other place was suitable, she temporarily moved to your courtyard."

The second sister-in-law glanced at her expression nervously and cautiously said, "Tangtang, Chang'er only lives in the side courtyard, and no one has touched your things..."

Although Qi Wenyuan was the Grand Tutor, his family home was not a royal residence; the land they owned was only so big.

The main courtyard was inhabited by the couple, while several young men lived in the courtyards on the east side. As an unmarried young lady, Ning Nishang naturally could not live with the male relatives.

As for remote guest rooms, that's even more unreasonable.

After much thought, only Qi Yitang's courtyard was the most suitable.

After repeatedly declining, Ning Nishang only settled on a small side room to live in.

If it were the old Qi Yitang, upon hearing that her territory had been occupied, regardless of the reason, she would definitely explode, start crying and demanding to know that there was no place for her in the family.

But standing before everyone now is—Niohuru Qi Yitang.

She stepped forward and took Ning Nishang's hand, her eyes filled with heartache. "The side room is so small, is it enough? If not, I'll give up the main room as well."

Everyone who was bracing themselves for a storm was completely baffled by her. "...?"

[No way, what kind of tactic is this female supporting character using?]

Wait a minute, shouldn't the female supporting character have pushed the female lead to the ground, thrown her things out, and caused chaos in the whole family?

[You're not happy watching if there's no female rivalry, are you? I knew the female supporting character wasn't that bad at heart.]

[That's more like it! I love watching pretty girls flirt. What's so interesting about girls fighting over scumbags?]

Ning Nishang looked up in disbelief, "Tangtang, you're not angry?"

Qi Yitang feigned annoyance, "You get angry every day. Do I look like a blow-up fish?"

In fact, Qi Yitang had put herself in Qi Yitang's shoes these past few days.

If it were her, with her parents having died young, an orphan living in someone else's house, constantly having to compromise and being maliciously targeted... it would be unreasonable for her not to turn evil.

But Ning Nishang did not.

In the storybook, Ning Nishang was treated as a substitute by Xie Jingyu, who treated her with inconsistent affection. Even after becoming empress, he still wanted to reconcile with her.

Even though she was disrespectful on numerous occasions, constantly provoking the Empress as a concubine, causing her to miscarry her first child... she never harbored any ill intentions. Instead, she pleaded for her in front of Xie Jingyu.

Looking at the innocent girl in front of him, Qi Yitang felt a pang of sadness.

It's no wonder that the comments section is always full of people calling the female lead a "dead saint"; they just hate that she doesn't fight back.

Qi Yitang had read many stories, and throughout history, female supporting characters who opposed the female lead never had a good ending.

Fortunately, the unexpected appearance of comments saved her life, preventing her from recklessly embarking on a path of self-destruction.

Most importantly, she will no longer live in the Qi family for long. She now owns the entire Yaotang Palace, and everything in it, all the furnishings, is to her liking. No one can take it away from her.

So it was just a room before she got married, whoever wanted to live there could live there, Qi Yitang really didn't care.

……

Qi Yitang finally persuaded Xie Lingyun to stay at the mansion for two days after much pleading and cajoling.

Although the emperor was reluctant to part with her, the imperial concubine tugged at his sleeve and shook it gently, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling with affection, making it impossible for him to refuse.

In the end, he had no choice but to ride in the imperial carriage alone and return to the palace all by himself.

evening.

Qi Yitang returned to her boudoir, which she had before she was married. The candlelight flickered, illuminating the familiar furnishings throughout the room.

Two years have passed, and everything in this room remains exactly the same as before.

But everything has changed.

"Your Highness, it's time to rest." Yunzhu tucked the blanket around her. "Is something on your mind?"

Qi Yitang's mind was in complete turmoil.

Although she avoided the hurdle of poisoning Xie Ling, she was in the open while Xie Jingyu was in the shadows, and she was afraid that the bastard would do something underhanded behind her back.

But Qi Yitang also understood that the comments were just spoiling the future ending for her; they couldn't make her smarter or more cunning on the spot.

He has no brains and is completely incapable of political maneuvering.

However, Qi Yitang was certain that as long as her villainous emperor husband lived, her life would be safe and sound.

Let's stick close to the villain's coattails.

"Sleep, sleep!"

……

The side room of the Tangli Courtyard.

Although Ning Nishang refused to move rooms, Qi Yitang still had her room decorated nicely.

Under the candlelight, the brand-new brocade curtains glowed softly, and rouge and face powder were neatly arranged on the dressing table.

However, Ning Nishang's personal maid was filled with worry.

"Miss, do you think the Imperial Concubine might have ulterior motives for suddenly treating you so well?"
