The whole city knew that the eldest daughter of the Shen family had a stand-in who looked exactly like the late prince. She asked him to serve tea and water during the day, to warm the bed at night, and to wait on her knees at the engagement banquet. Everyone laughed at her for being crazy and ridiculous, until the night of the palace coup, when men in armor and swords slaughtered the imperial city with blood. He pinched the would-be consort's neck and chuckled: "Your Highness, can you safely use the stolen kingdom and fiancée?" Turning around, he saw Miss Shen holding a bloody sword, raising her eyebrows and saying, "Have you had enough fun?" The new emperor bowed his head and said: "Please give me instructions, Your Highness."
