[Transmigration, fictional dynasty, reunited after years apart, seven-year age gap, both leads are inexperienced, happy ending]
Xu Lingxia is granted a marriage to Prince Ling. Everyone says she owes her good fortune to the dead, because her face looks just like Prince Ling’s deceased consort.
It’s common knowledge that Prince Ling doted on that consort more than anything.
After she passed away, his temperament changed completely. At the slightest disagreement, he would have someone killed.
The name Fang Zhiwei became taboo to him.
Xu Lingxia, who had supposedly benefited from looking like her, found the whole thing incredibly frustrating.

A few years earlier, Yao Wei transmigrated to another world after a car accident and, from the start, was carried into the prince’s residence as a concubine.
She had Fang Zhiwei’s body, but none of her memories and no particular skills. All she could do was scrape by in the prince’s household with her clichéd acting.
Danger surrounded her, and her desire to escape the prince’s residence grew stronger and stronger.
At last, one day, she found her chance to fake her death and flee.

Lu Chengling endured three years of living as if he were dead.
When they met again, his heart was full of joy, but she told him, “Your Highness, you’ve mistaken me for someone else.”
Before he could savor the joy of having her back, he was forced to suffer the pain of losing her all over again.

P.S. ❶ Marriage and childbearing ages are older than in traditional historical romances. Birth order is listed separately for men and women.
❷ This is not a wish-fulfillment story. The heroine grows stronger over time; she isn’t powerful from the start. She has no memories of the original owner at first, but she will recover them later.
❸ The male lead isn’t completely evil, but he’s no good person either. He’s attracted to the heroine because of her looks. There are people in his household, all spies for various factions, but they don’t get much page time. He hasn’t touched any of them, and he’ll get rid of them one by one.
