Wei Tingchun is a supporting role player in the world of novels. While transmigrating into one story, she took pity on a child kneeling in the snow for days and gave him a cup of hot tea.

After her character exited the plot, a decade passed before she transmigrated into the same novel again. By then, the child had grown into a gloomy, pale-faced prince. Coincidentally, he was kidnapped and deliberately imprisoned in a desolate palace, starving and freezing. Unable to resist, Wei Tingchun gave him another cup of hot tea.

Her character exited once more. Years later, she was assigned another role in that world—this time as a maidservant attempting to poison the now-dreaded Crown Prince Xue Ying. Following the plot, the drunken yet sharp-witted prince should detect the poison, smash the cup, and strangle the maid, allowing Wei Tingchun to exit.

But when the prince glanced down in a daze, he paused—then obediently opened his mouth to drink the poisoned tea.

Wei Tingchun: “…Oh no!”

——

Crown Prince Xue Ying was despised by his birth mother in childhood and persecuted by his brothers—even his emperor father—in adulthood. He had no family, no friends, no confidants or lovers, suffering endless betrayals and humiliations. Everyone loathed, distrusted, or feared him.

The first warmth he ever felt was a cup of hot tea from a young eunuch in the snow—only for that eunuch to die moments later.

The second warmth came from an old palace maid who gave him tea during a life-or-death crisis—yet she too died swiftly.

The third time he relived that bone-deep warmth, the hands bearing scars he’d never forget offered him a steaming cup of poisoned tea.
