Consort Mei was slowly replacing her in the harem. She was beautiful and smart, charming and gentle, making people subconsciously want to follow her.
In the beginning, Shen Miao was heartbroken. The man she used to love took a fancy to another woman. She thought that he was equally cold to everyone, but later, she realized that was not the case. He was only cold to her because he never liked her.
After being heartbroken for a long time, she gradually became numb. The pain and dispiritedness gradually turned into hatred and indignation towards Fu Sheng.
Fu Sheng stole too much of Fu Xiuyi's attention from her child, Fu Ming. Fu Ming was clearly the crown prince. He was talented and hardworking, but in the end, he was neglected. Fu Xiuyi taught Fu Sheng how to write and discussed politics with him, but he never showed concern for Fu Ming.
When being asked, he would say that Fu Ming was the crown prince and had to be mature and learn to teach himself.
