The Crown Princess held on until Feng Yuanyuan turned five, and finally passed away on a stormy, rainy night. From then on, little Feng Yuanyuan knew she no longer had a mother who doted on her.
As for her father, she had seen through him long ago; her father did not love her at all, caring only for her younger sister and the noble consort. Deep within her little heart, she vowed that from that day forward, she would consider herself as having no father at all!
Fortunately, Feng Yuanyuan did not wander in grief for long. The very next day, the Old Demon Emperor took Feng Yuanyuan to live with him in the Demon Emperor Palace, intending to raise and educate this pitiful granddaughter himself.
Before her passing, the Crown Princess had arranged an engagement for Feng Yuanyuan with the young master of the Qingluan clan, because the Crown Princess and the mother of the Qingluan clan's young master were sworn bosom friends.
The two had long ago agreed that if they were to bear children, they would become in-laws through their offspring, or have their children sworn as brothers and sisters!
Later on, the Crown Princess's bosom friend was fortunate enough to give birth to a son first, who was named Qing Fengjing. It was not until two years later that the Crown Princess also became pregnant and gave birth to Feng Yuanyuan.
In accordance with their agreement, that bosom friend had kept her word, proactively sending someone to deliver a piece of spiritual jade as a token of betrothal, along with her son's date and time of birth.
After seeking permission from the Old Demon Emperor and gaining his approval, the Crown Princess had likewise sent out a piece of spiritual jade as a token, accompanied by her daughter Feng Yuanyuan's date and time of birth.The two of them even went so far as to have a Monster Realm sorcerer cast a divination for them, determining that they could be wed as soon as they both reached adulthood.
Just like that, an arranged childhood marriage was sealed. From a very young age, both of them knew that the other was destined to be their future spouse!
Because Feng Yuanyuan had to stay in the Demon Emperor Palace to study her skills, she was unable to leave. The Old Demon Emperor kept her under strict control and would not let her step outside until she met his standards!
As for the young master of the Qingluan tribe, he frequently visited the Demon Emperor Palace under the fine-sounding pretext of seeing his fiancée. Oh, and the Qingluan young master was none other than Qing Fengjing.Every time Qing Fengjing came to the Demon Emperor Palace to see his fiancée, Feng Yuanyuan would coincidentally be in the middle of her cultivation training. The Old Demon Emperor was rather strict, having raised and educated Feng Yuanyuan as the future heir apparent.
At times like these, Feng Yuanyuan's half-sister, Feng Qinqin, would always appear. Claiming she wanted to keep Qing Fengjing company, she would stubbornly insist on waiting outside the Demon Emperor Palace with him for Feng Yuanyuan.
As this went on, Qing Fengjing grew accustomed to Feng Qinqin's company. Not only was he childhood sweethearts with Feng Yuanyuan, but he was also childhood sweethearts with Feng Qinqin.
Now Feng Yuanyuan had reached the age of eighteen, having truly come of age. Next month, her engagement ceremony with Qing Fengjing was to be held, making the announcement to the entire Monster Realm.Yes, the imperial princess of the Monster Realm! That is to say, Feng Yuanyuan. The fact that the Phoenix clan to which she belongs had arranged an infant betrothal with the young master of the Blue Luan clan was known to only a few insiders within the palace! The rest of the Monster Realm had no idea about it at all.
As expected, Qing Fengjing and Feng Qinqin were the male and female protagonists of the original world. Feng Yuanyuan, on the other hand, was merely a supporting female character who served as a stepping stone for the male and female leads.
According to the original plot, Qing Fengjing realized very early on that the person he loved was Feng Qinqin. He held no romantic feelings for Feng Yuanyuan, regarding her entirely as a younger sister.
However, he never knew how to bring it up, hesitating and wavering between the two sisters, dragging the matter out until Feng Yuanyuan turned eighteen.At eighteen, Feng Yuanyuan was breathtakingly beautiful, hailed as the greatest beauty in the Monster Realm. (Though who knows how much exaggeration there was in that claim!)
As for Feng Qinqin, the two had already been secretly involved for a long time. When Feng Yuanyuan was just fourteen, Qing Fengjing, deliberately seduced and tempted by Feng Qinqin, had long since crossed the line and consummated their affair.Having tasted the pleasures of intimacy between a man and a woman, Qing Fengjing became addicted to the feeling, and under the pretext of praying for blessings for the Crown Princess, he prolonged his stay at the Demon Emperor Palace indefinitely.Meanwhile, Feng Yuanyuan was in seclusion with the Old Demon Emperor, so Feng Qinqin naturally became the companion in attendance.Influenced by her mother's constant teachings from a very young age, Feng QinqinShe had long since mastered all the various wiles used to hook men.The two of them spent all their time together in Feng Yuanyuan's palace within the Demon Emperor Palace, living in utter bliss. Meanwhile, the servants in Feng Yuanyuan's palace had long since turned traitor and become Feng Qinqin's running dogs.
In the subsequent events, Feng Qinqin and Qing Fengjing naturally lured Feng Yuanyuan out of the Demon Emperor Palace and ambushed her in a Deserted Valley, framing her death to make it look like she had been abducted and killed by the Demon race.
Later on, the Old Demon Emperor and the Crown Prince were both murdered by the trio of Feng Qinqin, the secondary consort, and Qing Fengjing.
With no one left in the Demon Emperor Palace to succeed the throne, Feng Qinqin stepped into the breach during the crisis and succeeded as the new Demon Emperor. However, because she was a woman, she voluntarily abdicated the throne in favor of her husband, Qing Fengjing.
From then on, the royal throne of the Phoenix clan in the Monster Realm changed hands, reducing them to a second-tier noble family.
As for the Green Luan clan to which Qing Fengjing belonged, thanks to him becoming the new Demon Emperor, they leaped to become the new royal family, enjoying an unmatched height of influence and prestige for a time.
All of this was the fundamental reason behind the soaring resentment of the original female protagonist, Feng Yuanyuan, after her death. Her demise brought about irreversible and severe consequences for the Phoenix clan in the future.
It was all the original host's fault for being too young and too trusting of others, forgetting the simple truth that people's hearts are easily fickle.
