As expected, a few days later, the woman originally Cinderella, now renamed Cindy, became a princess. Cindy, who was living a life of luxury and extravagance, became increasingly determined to eliminate any future troubles. Of course, this was also because she had vented her resentment to the point of exhaustion.

Because shortly after she became a princess, rumors spread that the Baron had accidentally injured his genitals and was sent for treatment. Later, there was also news that the Baroness's brother's merchant guild was being investigated for tax evasion.

Cindy's two older sisters have gone completely mad, going around telling everyone they are the real princess. The two of them are disheveled, with Charlotte limping and Katie blind in one eye. They fight whenever they meet, and the Baron has even declared them expelled from the family.

This time, however, the Baroness had no time to deal with it. Her brother's merchant guild was investigated and shut down, all of his property was confiscated, and he went from being a powerful merchant to a commoner. He was also punished and had three legs broken.

Despair gradually enveloped the Baron's family. Almost every day, the Baron would come to the Prince's palace, requesting to see Cindy and beg for her forgiveness. However, the guards sent by Cindy would always reply that they were busy and could not see him, asking the Baron to wait for some time.

Cindy had a very accurate understanding of the Baron's character. He was inherently cowardly; as long as there was some way out, he would always compromise. Every time Cindy sent someone to deliver a message, she would say to wait a while, and although the Baron clearly didn't believe her, he would still come the next time.

Due to the bankruptcy of the Baron's brother, the Baron returned to a state of ruin, unable to even maintain basic dignity. Finally, one day, Cindy had had enough fun, and an out-of-control carriage struck and killed the Baron.

The Baroness was also injured when a bucket of sewage was thrown down while she was walking in the street. Her wound became infected, and she died that night. Her two older sisters, who had gone mad, had not been seen for a long time. Rumor had it that Xieluote had fallen into the sewage ditch outside the city while walking and drowned, while her younger sister Katie, was taken back by some vagrants.

In short, it wasn't long before people gradually forgot about the Baron's family. Only Cindy, as the Prince and princess, would be mentioned occasionally, but no one knew where she was born.

Cindy sat in the back garden, leisurely enjoying afternoon tea, watching the bright sunshine and butterflies fluttering among the flowers. Everything seemed so perfect. The Baron's entire family had gone to see the Lord, and no one knew her identity anymore, except for that one person.

Cindy's expression changed slightly. She had secretly sent people to search, but they couldn't find the person who called himself the Strange Light. If that person had just disappeared, that would be fine, but if he reappeared, it would definitely mean bad luck. The other party knew too many of her unsavory secrets.

Cindy, enjoying a leisurely afternoon, could forget about her terrible first half of life. Now, her wonderful second half was just beginning. She was wearing a gorgeous and noble dress, spraying on a carefully crafted perfume, and wearing a pair of glittering gold-threaded shoes. This time, however, all of these things were real and would not revert to their original state after midnight.

The Prince had sent her this dress yesterday, telling her to wear it today and wait for him in the back garden. Although Cindy didn't understand what the Prince wanted to do, she still went happily.

Seeing the Prince approaching from afar, Cindy quickly stood up and walked towards Prince. Looking at the handsome Prince William, she was filled with pride. She had changed her life and found a reliable man.

In the days since marrying Prince William, she has enjoyed unprecedented pampering and care. Although sometimes she feels she can't quite understand this man, it's not a problem. Compared to her previous hellish life, this is simply heaven.

"Your Highness, good afternoon." Cindy stepped forward and waited quietly for the Prince to take her hand. After spending some time together, the clever Cindy had noticed some of the Prince's little habits.

For example, Prince Highness doesn't like things that are too active, nor does he like people who are too enthusiastic or proactive. On ordinary days, if someone tries to touch him, Cindy will notice that Prince Highness will frown.

So the clever Cindy waited quietly until the Prince took her hand, turning herself into a doll to be manipulated by him, so that she could gain more of Prince favor.

But the Prince was acting strangely today. Instead of taking Cindy's hand, he picked her up, brushed her bangs aside, and gently kissed her. Cindy closed her eyes to enjoy the kiss for a moment, then opened her bright eyes and asked, "Is something the matter today?"

"Do you feel happy right now?" the Prince asked with a smile, carefully tucking the woman's hair behind her ear, causing Cindy to blush.

"Being in your arms is the happiest moment of my life," Cindy thought, and that was her answer.

"You are the most beautiful today," Prince William said. "I will cherish this beauty forever."

Cindy smiled, about to reply with some sweet words, when she felt a chill on her neck, and then she lost all feeling. Prince William looked at the person in his arms and felt completely satisfied.

Cindy wore a sweet smile, her cheeks flushed, and her bright eyes stared ahead, as if she were expecting something, or perhaps wanted to say something.

The Prince held her in his arms and placed her in a crystal coffin. What a perfect person she was.

"Don't you think it's beautiful?" the Prince asked, turning to the person who emerged from the darkness with an umbrella.

"All I know is that you wasted far too much time." Lu Li looked at Cindy inside the crystal coffin. She had left this world with happiness and fulfillment, which, for her, was perhaps a good choice.

"It's worth spending a little more time for a perfect collectible," the Prince said, not annoyed by the criticism. Instead, he explained, "Cinderella had accumulated too much resentment before."

"There will always be a hint of gloom in her smile. She is imperfect because of this. She must vent all her resentment before she can sweep away all the gloom and become a truly treasured piece."

"I'm not interested in your perverted remarks. What I want to know is when we can leave here." Lu Li couldn't appreciate the Prince's aesthetics, nor did he intend to understand his completely distorted sense of beauty.

"That's about enough. Now that you've qualified, you can leave with me later." Prince William nodded and put away the crystal coffin. This trip to relax had been quite fruitful; not only had he acquired a nice collectible, but he had also unexpectedly met an interesting old friend.

The next moment, everyone in the country forgot that they once had a Prince named William; only the legend of Cinderella began to spread in this country.
