Inside a dirty old room, a very skinny malnourished figure was sitting on an old bed looking at herself in the mirror. She had a big face with small eyes, and red pimples, with many freckles across her cheeks. Her skin was yellow and her hair was turning slightly gray from lacking nutrition.
As Li Wei looked at her face in the mirror she couldn't help but sign. A week ago she was reading a novel called the beloved empress hua. The female lead was the elegant eldest di (legitimate ) daughter of the Li family, the story was about how she married the 6th prince wang lei and developed feeling feelings together . Wang lei's love for the female lead ran so deep that even after becoming the emperor he had conquered many nations and expanded the Cheng empire making it feared and prosperous among all nations. He only kept the female lead in his harem.
After finishing reading the book li wei couldn't help but be very envious of the female lead, she was so loved by such a man while she li wei could only receive looks of digust when men saw her because of her ugly face, even after she saved up money and got surgery, it's like the whole universe was against her, the doctor made a mistake and her face was ruined. She lost hope and could only spend her days locked inside her house depressed.
A week ago she had ran out of food so she dressed up and wore a mask to cover her face to go get food in the market when she saw an old man with a banner in his shop that says beauty pill she couldn't help but go to take a look though she knew it was probably just a scam. After seeing the elegant beautiful pill that seemed to be shining she decided to buy it when she walked off. The old man looked happy as he took off. He had discovered the pill on the road and wanted to try his luck to see if anyone would buy it who knew some would actually buy it .
li wei continued on her way to get food when she was suddenly hit by a drunk driver as she crossed the road the next time she woke up she was inside the novel empress hua.
It's been a week since she transmigrated into the ugly daughter of the Li family who was forgotten and never Been mentioned in the novel. The original owner was the daughter of a servant that worked for the Li family's patriarch Liam. On one night when Liam was drunk he accidentally slept with Li Wei's mother. Li Wei's mother hid it and never mentioned it because she would have been beaten to death if anyone knew.
However she had a weak body so when she gave birth to the original owner she only
Lived until li wei was 3 years old and died. With know one to take care of her and also being just a servant's daughter the original owner who had no presence from
beginning was neglected more and treated like a servant all her life.
When Li Wei transmigrated she hoped to change the original owner's fate and become a concubine of the emperor but she discovered she had no golden finger. with her ugly face even with her super lotus acting skills let alone be a concubine of the emperor she can't even seduce anyone.
Actually it not that she didn't have a golden finger, her beauty pill that she brought before she died was still with her. When she saw it transmigrated with her she believed it must have been the real deal, but the issue was she couldn't even use it whenever she ate it she she throws it up, she can't chew it it hard as a rock, and she can't even put it in water to dissolved it won't. She tried many methods but none of them worked so she could only give up and put it on the side.
She got up and put on the veil to cover her face, the original owner knew her face wasn't likable so she covered it since young to avoid attention. Li Wei went outside to do her chores. She washed clothes and hung them and then went to clean the dishes in the kitchen. A maid came to grab dinner for her master went, lei wei continued her work. She finished all her work when the sun had already set.
As she went on her way back to her room a fellow servant came running with A panicked expression written on her face. "Ah lam what happened ?" , stuttering she said " li wei the head maid is looking for you f-follow me."
li wei frowned and as she followed her she knew it was probably nothing good judging from Ah Lam's expression.
When she arrived at the place before being given an explanation of what happened she was picked up by 2 men and was laid down on a mat with her hands tied. Each man got a long big wood stick and hit her back; another hit her legs; this continued on till her body was covered in blood.
