“The eldest daughter of the Lin family, the prefect’s family, was an impostor all along? Word is that this fake young lady began plotting carefully back in Yiling. She pretended to befriend the real heiress, then, after learning she was returning to the capital, ruthlessly stole her identity and all the wealth and glory that came with it!”
Rumors spread throughout the capital. Everyone wanted to see this vicious impostor executed, to appease the spirit of the true heiress!
Just when everyone thought the fake young lady was as good as dead, an imperial edict from the palace betrothed her to the Fifth Prince. The news left everyone dumbfounded. They all mourned for the Fifth Prince, that elegant, moon-bright prince who had been brought so low.

But in the prison, the Fifth Prince no longer wore his usual cool, aloof expression. Facing the “fake young lady” as she was tortured, he spoke with a slight tremor in his voice, his eyes full of pleading. “Would you be willing to marry me?”
