Although political struggles within the royal family were cruel, there was still affection between its members.
Princess Xue Ke had grown up surrounded by her parents' love. Her four older brothers all adored and doted on her.
Even after Qian Renxue replaced her, she had continued to play the role of Xue Qinghe, the brother Princess Xue Ke loved and trusted.

Xue Qinghe genuinely liked this "little sister."
Unfortunately, she was the destroyer of this family. She had killed her three older brothers and her father, and soon even her uncle and little brother would fall into her hands. In the end, she could never truly become part of this family.
Still, she couldn't quite bring herself to harm this poor little girl.

Before Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng could make a move, they went to see Emperor Xue Ye.
